I had it printed and on my desk when two project managers stopped by - they assumed the cartoon was about the advice PMs get when projects are not working.
Either way - may this help you see the world with a wry smile today.

Unhelpful advice
While following an online thread on depression, I stumbled across this cartoon by robot-hugs.com So very true! So very funny and yet heartbreaking.

Safecity - crowd sourcing at its best
I am a mentor with the Cherie Blair Foundation. I highly recommend this organization - the mentor/mentoree training is terrific and the opportunities to gain & give global perspectives is beyond measure.
One such view came to my inbox this weekend. Violence against women & children should not be tolerated anywhere. All help, good words, actions or ideas are necessary. Mentoring can help. Sharing information can help.
Think about being a mentor with CBF. Or simply support folks like Safecity. No matter how much time or effort you have to give, it will all make a difference.

A big thank you to my mentor Lorraine Hendrickson who has been a great
support to me.
I am happy to discuss collaboration with other organisations working on
gender based violence.
Kind regards,
Elsa
