This is a story of conflict between two colleagues — something that might be familiar to you, dear listener. And it’s a story of self-awareness, owning your shit, and repair. Things that might not be as familiar (though I hope they are). This story is about a teacher, but any human being can benefit from listening. How many of you have hung up on a colleague (or wanted to)? How many of you have been hung up on? (That would be me. Not pleasant.) It’s a jam-packed story.
