Hey, it's Rachel Cook, your modern mentor. I'm the founder of Lead Above Noise, where we help

leaders activate performance and engagement without burnout. We run boot camps that deliver confidence,

tools, and community. We deliver keynotes that inform and inspire. And we do pulse checks to help

you build custom blueprints that unlock your team's best performance.

Just let me know what you need.

So when I was a kid, but also sometimes still, I wanted to be a person who names the colors of things,

like paints or lipsticks or nail polishes.

I mean, it looks so fun.

I have a neutral colored nail polish called The Queen

Takes Her Tea with Milk, and a blue one called Iconic and a red called Don't Mess With Me. Kind of the

best job ever, yeah. I think I missed the color naming boat, but I do have an appreciation for the

media and its parallel work in naming our workplace trends and

crises. You know, the great resignation, the great reconsideration, quiet quitting, all the things

we've seen in the headlines these past few years. Like with nail polishes, they're all variations

of the same. But the names are memorable. The latest one I'm seeing is called

the Great Detachment, which I'm pretty sure is a rebrand of quiet quitting. But either way,

it's to say that we're not quitting, but we're out of steam. Whether we're bored or lonely

or overwhelmed, we're going through the motions of doing the work, but our hearts aren't in

it, which means our creativity and our opportunity to drive change and deliver impact aren't so

much there either. I believe, like to my core, that the solution here is the great reactivation.

It's why I spend so much time working with leadership teams, enabling them to do this

very thing, delivering tools, practice, confidence, and accountability. You can check it out at
