"The Meeting That Changed Nothing"
We sat in the conference room practicing secular prayer:"Let's circle back on that." "Great energy, team."Sandra suggested revolutionary thought—using the good coffee for everyone,not just clients. The silence stretched.Jim cleared his throat. Nancy studied her phone."Let's table that for Q3," said the boss.
We are the change we're too tired to be.We are the innovation that dies in committee.Every Monday we gather to discussthe transformation we'll never risk,the authenticity that conflicts with dress code,the human resources we've forgotten are human.
But Sandra brings the good coffee anyway.Small revolutions start in break rooms,in the five minutes before the meeting,when we remember each other's namesmean more than our titles.
