Criminal Justice Evolution

Happy new year! In this Microcast Monday, Patrick makes the case for selective access: in high-stress work, oversharing with the wrong people can drain your energy, erode trust, and create problems you did not need. He breaks down the difference between privacy and secrecy, and why clear boundaries are not cold – they are a professional survival skill.
