#Civility #Safety #Resilience #LocalGovernment #CityManagement #Leadership #Authenticity #AuthenticityFM #RealStories #BoldIdeas #BetterCommunitiesWhat happens when the boundaries of public debate break down and incivility becomes the norm? In this episode, the AuthentiCity FM team takes a candid look at the real-world impact of rising hostility, personal attacks, and threats faced by public servants—and explores how leaders can hold the line on civility, safety, and simply showing up in their communities.Through honest stories and frank reflection, Corri, Mike, and Phil talk about what’s driving this new intensity, the toll it takes on local leaders at every level, and what it means for the future of local government. The conversation digs into why civility still matters, how to build real resilience on the front lines of public service, and how safety—both emotional and physical—has become a central concern for those who choose to serve.Along the way, you’ll find moments of vulnerability, camaraderie, practical advice, and even a bit of nostalgia (yes, there’s a Gargamel glass cameo!)—reminding us that showing up authentically is as important as the work itself.00:00 Introduction to Incivility in Local Government02:58 The Impact of Threats and Harassment06:37 Personal Experiences and Reflections09:56 The Role of Social Media in Public Discourse14:29 Learning to Disconnect from Negativity20:01 The Crisis in Local Governance25:12 Building Resilience in Public Service30:09 The Importance of Community Support34:00 Strategies for Civil Discourse39:07 The Role of Storytelling in Governance53:13 Finding Hope and Moving Forward
