Sometimes, the difficult part is to start, or participate in the conversation: to comment, to make an assertion, to state a point of view.
And at other times, the difficult part is to back away – to focus on your work, to opt out of gossip, and to zoom in on what matters.
When the crowd is silent, the hard part is to speak up and share your views.
When the crowd is frothing, the hard part is to stay focused on what’s in front of you.
