3 days agoI had a stroke at 29 and went back to work weeks later. It taught me how to lead through a crisis - and to give grace to myself and my colleagues
I was off work for a few weeks, but without paid leave I had to return sooner than doctors advised. I worked from home for a few months since I still couldn't drive. I loved the challenge of the work, the way no day was ever the same, and I had thrived on that pace. But I was still recovering. Winded by the smallest physical activity, I struggled with memory, and words sometimes came out scrambled or not at all.
