I need help addressing crosstalk in virtual meetings. During meetings I can see people trying to discreetly type and I can see facial expressions. I’m trying to ignore it and not let it bother me, but it’s distracting, and I fear its hurting morale. To be candid, I think it’s immature, unprofessional, and it feels like middle school behavior, but I don’t know how to address this or if I even should. What’s the best way to handle this?

How do I talk about a promotion that has been promised for many years? Previously I was told the conditions of the country were why I couldn’t be, but I think I have been denied the promotion due to bias towards me.

My role involves working with all departments in the organization. I send important emails to executive teams and usually do not get replies. As an internal consultant, I need to get information from the C-suite. What should I do?

My 80-year-old dad is experiencing cognitive decline, has had eye surgery on both eyes, and is deaf. One of my siblings says that my dad is a “terrifying” driver. But no one in the family is doing anything about it, probably because they’re all busy raising families. How can I talk to them about my dad’s driving? And how can we talk to our dad, who will not take lightly his car keys being taken by his children?
