            <title>The new rules of leadership start with emotional intelligence</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>As workplaces become more complex, employees are looking for leaders who inspire trust, show empathy, and foster genuine human connection.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leadership has never been easy. Today there are additional challenges that make it increasingly difficult. Rapidly changing workplaces, employee stress, generational conflict, hybrid work arrangements, and growing calls for transparency all add extra layers that leaders have to contend with. In the past leaders relied on technical skills and authority that their titles granted. These are becoming less relevant and there are growing demands for leaders who are able to instill trust and inspire commitment, and have the people skills that are considered emotional intelligence. </p>]]></description>

            <title>6 frugal ways to beat the brutal heat</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>As temperatures routinely hit triple digits, here are half a dozen cheap ways to keep cool, even without air-conditioning.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The house I currently live in was built on the outskirts of Milwaukee in 1941–which means it does not have central air-conditioning. In the ten years we’ve lived here, the lack of A/C has only bothered us for about two weeks every August. We can power through those <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/section/heat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hot, sticky days</a> with window air conditioners in each of the three bedrooms, and before we know it, we’re back to complaining about the snow.</p>]]></description>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My husband and I stumbled into Imago therapy early in our marriage. We were both open to therapy because we knew enough to know what we didn’t know. He came from a divorce, and I came from witnessing parents who were married for 48 years but continually had the same arguments over and over again. We didn’t want to repeat those mistakes.&nbsp;</p>]]></description>
