On LinkedIn, I shared a post about battle scars. In the comments, the discussion took on a novel life.
One response was related to job search –
Here’s a link to that post LinkedIn post.

My battle scars
I use my experiences, and the scars I have acquired, to help teams be better. Better is subjective. For me, it’s simple. For you, it might be complicated.
One of my favorite phrases is, “God never wastes a hurt.” It’s the same with experiences.
A powerful tool I learned while dealing with “survivor guilt” from Afghanistan was reframing. Simply, reframing is looking at an experience differently with an objective lens.
None of us can change the past. We can choose to remove negative emotions from the experience in the present. Once the negative emotion is removed, we can move toward the future with different expectations.
I’m not going to lie to you.
For me, it’s been a long journey to get to the point where I could post about this experience.
My sense is development teams can benefit from reframing after “creative conflict” or moments of “creative friction”.
There’s more to unpack in a future post.
Hеllo thеre, Yߋu’ve done an excellеnt job. I ᴡill cｅrtainly digg it

benefited from this weЬ site.

Hey! I кnow this is kind of off topic ƅut I was wondering which bl᧐g platfօrm are you
using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of Ꮃordpress because I’ve had iѕsues with hackers and I’m looking at optіons for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a
gooⅾ platform.
I’m using WordPress, but hosting it separately from WordPress.com. There’s more flexibility, hosting your own blog. I hope this helps.
