March 14, 2022 96 - Supporting Another's Difficult Emotions
With many people on edge right now challenging emotions are more present than ever. Anxiety. Frustration. Fear. Even anger. Yet, as deeply social creatures we're still living and working together.
In today's episode I share a technique born from 20 years of service experience as well as my education in psychology - RARE. It stands for Recognize, Appreciate, Reassure, Execute and it's the system I teach in my communication workshops and mentoring. This simple 4 part system allows each of us to hold space for another person's challenging emotion. It's based on the premise that you cannot resolve a transactional need (getting coffee, syncing schedules, holding a meeting) if challenging emotions go unaddressed.

March 07, 2022 95 - What You "Should" be Doing For Your Wellness
If you ask most people they can tell you what they want to change to take better care of themselves.
Workout. Eat differently. Meditate. Prioritize sleep. Sounds basic.
So why don't more people do the basic things for their health, longevity, and well-being?
In this episode we look at human motivation and how the language we choose affects how we feel about our behavior. Along the way I'll teach you some of the foundational psychological tools my clients use to help un-stick themselves and get to what they "should" be doing towards their goals.
