The Compassion Paradox

by Ken Haman
As the COVID-19 crisis and the challenge of the economic recovery process continue, it’s critical to understand how to care about our clients without caring too much. Don’t risk your own well-being and become unable to help those who need you.

Decisions, Fast and Slow

Decisions, Fast and Slow

by Ken Haman

Of Hawks and Doves—and Why Neither Is Right

by Ken Haman
As an advisor, you have protective instincts, so COVID-19 is likely to activate your emotions and push your thinking toward extremes. Your brain is probably searching the world for dangers and building a decidedly negative worldview. Psychologists call this catastrophizing: seeing the future in a negative light. This reduces your ability to sort available information.
