Summary

Liz and Sarah discuss their recent realization that they should reframe work “politics” as work “diplomacy.” In Take A Hike, they share insight from a member of the HIH Facebook group — sometimes you have to stand still and do nothing until it feels okay. Then, in Hits & Bombs, Liz responds to listeners concern that she always gives herself Bombs by giving herself two Hits — one for taking her health seriously and the other for being a good friend. Finally, this week’s Hollywood Hack will help you focus and increase productivity — try Ambient Worlds on You Tube.
