But what happens when grief enters the workplace? According to leadership advisor Patricia Bravo, organizations are constantly asking people to "let go" of roles, team members, strategies, and workplace identities without giving them the space to process the resulting loss.</p><p>In this episode, Susanna sits down with <b>Patricia Bravo</b>, founder of Bravo4U and author of the upcoming book <i>In the Room When Grief Comes to Work</i>, to discuss the invisible cognitive load of workplace grief. Patricia shares why unexpressed micro-grief accumulates to hurt performance, how grief mirrors the ever-changing nature of the weather, and how leaders can offer powerful support through simple acknowledgment rather than trying to "solve" the problem.</p><h3><b>Key Takeaways From the Episode:</b></h3><ul><li><b>The Cost of Micro-Grief:</b> Workplace changes—like restructuring, a beloved leader leaving, or shifting a company vision—trigger real loss. When these "micro-losses" go unacknowledged, they accumulate, often manifesting later as unexplained performance drops, cognitive fatigue, or irritability.</li><li><b>The Weather Analogy of Loss:</b> Traditional linear models (like the Kübler-Ross change curve) can fall short when treated as a rigid checklist. Grief is highly individual and non-linear—some days feel like a sudden tsunami, others like a gentle mist, and some days the sun unexpectedly breaks through.</li><li><b>Acknowledgment Over Action:</b> Leaders often feel pressured to act as amateur therapists or "fix" the situation. Real support simply looks like regular, attentive check-ins (e.g., <i>"How are you doing this week?"</i>) and giving employees the agency to choose between space or connection.</li><li><b>Collective and Accumulated Grief:</b> From mass layoffs in the tech sector to restructuring in international organizations, modern workplaces are experiencing unprecedented layers of collective grief. Rebuilding human connection within organizations is essential to helping teams adapt and eventually find post-traumatic growth.</li></ul><h3><b>Connect with the Guest:</b></h3><ul><li><b>Website:</b><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bravoforyou.com" target="_blank"> Bravo4U</a></li><li><b>LinkedIn:</b><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/patricia-bravo/" target="_blank"> Connect with Patricia Bravo on LinkedIn</a></li></ul><p><b>Upcoming Book:</b><i>In the Room When Grief Comes to Work</i> (An illustrated guide for leaders and teams navigating workplace loss).</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">41c01c10-4b75-4da2-ba41-50beb4de3120</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Susanna Sjöberg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:17:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/2c6426c1117554e3f69e5dfffdb5db82943b55a5ea5c39faed01db2253a5177c/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI0MWMwMWMxMC00Yjc1LTRkYTItYmE0MS01MGJlYjRkZTMxMjAiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJlOGM1MjUxYi1kYzg1LTQ4NDctYTA4Zi0yMDVlOTIzZGI2NzciLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTEzMjFjYzMyZWE4ZjEzODIzYTg2ZmIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEwZmJkZjU5Zjg4YjBlNTg5ZDc3Y2NmL3N1c2FubmEtc2pvZWJlcmdzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTUtMjJfXzQtMjItNDUubXAzIn0=.mp3" length="12698453" type="audio/mpeg"/><podcast:transcript url="https://hosting-media.riverside.com/media/podcasts/e8c5251b-dc85-4847-a08f-205e923db677/episodes/41c01c10-4b75-4da2-ba41-50beb4de3120/transcripts.txt" type="text/plain"/><itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;When we think of grief, we usually think of personal, private tragedies—the death of a loved one or a severe life crisis.
