Kathy believed silence was the secret to productive meetings, but the team clearly mistook it as nap time.

#corporatehumor #workplacewoes #mindfulleadership #monstersandmindfulness #elibarnescartoons
A comic of a corporate boardroom meeting where the CEO sits at the head of the table with a big smile, while the other executives appear exhausted after an overly long emotional check-in session.
