Courageous Conversations
The sooner you have that hard conversation, the better. And with kindness and clear communication, we can keep the workplace compassionate and productive.

As employers and leaders, it’s part of our responsibilities to have difficult conversations in the workplace. When we approach these dialogues with openness, honesty, and empathy, it makes it easier for everyone to move forward. Join us this week as we discuss our experiences with hard talks and how to best reach productive resolutions.

Look no further for excitement than the Verbena. Its X-factor ingredient, the Szechuan button, is a tiny flower with palate-altering powers. It creates numbing, tingling sensations on the tongue, and changes the way we taste flavors. Sometimes, all you need is a change of perspective.

Ingredients

  • 6 lemon verbena leaves
  • 1 ounce ginger syrup
  • 1 1/2 ounces blanco tequila
  • 3 ounces yuzu-calamansi sour mix
  • Garnish: Szechuan button

Preparation

  1. Add the lemon verbena leaves and ginger syrup into a cocktail shaker and gently muddle the leaves.
  2. Add the blanco tequila and yuzu-calamansi sour mix into the shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.
  3. Strain into a double rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
  4. Garnish with a Szechuan button.
