One Calm Reply That Shifted an Entire Workplace

When my son Liam was rushed to the hospital after a severe accident, everything else in my life faded into the background.   Nothing mattered except him. The steady rhythm of medical machines filled the room as I sat beside his bed, holding his hand and whispering that I was there, that he wasn’t facing…

I was three steps ahead of them.

My name is Claire, and I’m the oldest of three sisters. If you grew up in an American family like mine—soccer Saturdays,   church potlucks, group texts that never shut up—you already know what “oldest” usually means. It means you learn early how to anticipate other people’s needs, how to smooth over the tension, how…
