I’ve been thinking a lot about integrity lately.

Because what I keep seeing in our profession, and honestly, in the world, has me asking: do we even know what integrity means?

People call each other out publicly but refuse to have an actual conversation. Colleagues claim to champion mental health but then publicly (and privately) chastise others for sport, leaving real human beings questioning their own worth. I’ve seen people weaponize someone’s struggles for personal gain. I’ve seen people declare “we care about our people” while their actions scream the opposite.

That isn’t integrity.
