You're going through something real — a loss, a health crisis, a family emergency — and the expectation is that you perform like nothing is happening. If you've ever had to pretend to be fine at work when you were anything but, this guide acknowledges what most workplaces won't: you are a whole person, and that matters.
This one-pager gives you three strategies for navigating personal crisis while professionally employed: finding one trusted person who knows, making specific and actionable accommodation requests instead of vague disclosures, and deliberately lowering your bar in a way that protects what's critical without abandoning yourself entirely.
You are allowed to be both a professional and a human being — simultaneously, on the same day.
Instant PDF download. Two pages. No fluff.
