New Article in the Classroom - Hard vs Harmful: Understanding Workplace Relationship Dynamics
In my latest article, I explore a dynamic so many people feel at work but rarely talk about - the moment you realise a relationship isn’t stretching you anymore, it’s slowly wearing you down.
It’s subtle. It’s easy to miss. And for high performers, it’s almost instinctive to push through it rather than pause and look at what’s actually happening.
But those small shifts matter. The hesitation before a meeting. The second‑guessing. The way clarity feels harder to access after certain conversations. These aren’t weaknesses - they’re signals. They’re your nervous system trying to get your attention long before your mind catches up.
Healthy workplaces don’t ignore those signals. They pay attention to them. They protect the people who hold so much together. They create environments where responsibility is shared, empathy is recognised, and excellence isn’t used as a reason to overload the very people who keep the culture steady. When that kind of protection is in place, high performers don’t just cope - they thrive. And the entire workplace rises with them.
