Loss – defined broadly – is an inevitable experience and can cause us great pain. When we tend to loss, nurture each other through grief, and transform systems that perpetuate loss, we suffer less and carry forward better.
Now more than ever, effective leadership requires competence and confidence in how to be supportive in the face of grief & loss. This is especially true for folks like me who’ve worked in civic- and constituent-facing roles.

“I am so appreciative of Ari’s grace at teaching about the layers of dealing with grief in the workplace. They create comfortable spaces for colleagues to be vulnerable and open up about the emotional toll work can have on a public servant. I received a lot of gratitude and affirmation from Grief at Work participants on the importance of creating more of these offerings.”
