In this episode, I will continue talking about my new book which includes the reason I wrote the book, who the book is for and my qualifications for writing the book. 

It is my goal to equip you with what will help you to succeed on a new job, a first job or your existing job. 

My experience on a new job was memorable but negative.  I was given a desk, supplies and a manual to read that I had to read for a week before receiving any training whatsoever.  

Workplace Mindset Matters by knowing your value, focusing on what is controllable, focusing on the job, keeping your skills fresh, learning all you can and keeping a success mindset.  

In this episode, we will talk about how successful you can be when starting a new job, when you have the right tools. 

My goal is to equip employees with essential tools to create a better work experience.  

Aren't you tired of lack of training, bad bosses, overwork, stress, unreasonable job demands and so much more?  If so, then stick around for the next episodes as we delve deeper into my book on what to do and survive the workplace. 

These tips can also be valuable to those who are still in the same job.  

Do you find yourself counting down the workweek each day asking "Is It Friday Yet?" or celebrating Friday by saying, "Thank God It's Friday!" 

Counting down the workweek can be so exhausting and make for a long workweek. 

It's time to deal with the workweek, one day at a time. 

In this episode, we will talk about how important your vision health should be.  Your vision health is so very important especially now for those who are working from home and for children who are in school virtually.  In both cases, eye issues are on the rise because of the increased amount of time adults and children are in front of a laptop, desktop, iPad or phone. 

Optometrists have come up with a solution called "blue lens filtering glasses" that will help with eye strain, headaches, blinking and other eye issues. 

Make sure you research if these are covered under your vision health insurance and view your eyes just as important as your overall health.  

In this episode, we will talk about how important it is to SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!

Although you may start saving in a piggy bank, it is time to level up and save more for bigger. 

Listen to this story about the squirrel and think about if you are wise enough to save like they do. 

In this episode we will discuss how the Department of Labor (DOL) is making employers give backpay to employees who were denied a paid leave of absence under the Families First Coronavirus Act (FFCRA).  

If you asked for paid leave to self-quarantine or because your child's day care or school is closed, you need to contact the DOL right away. 

You should NOT experience retaliation, discrimination, or even wrongful termination because you requested a leave of absence.

Thank you DOL for enforcing this.  If that is you, don't be discouraged, your back pay may be on the way.  

We will talk about your rights under the FFCRA (Families First Coronavirus Response Act) and if you are eligible for paid leave. 

In this episode, we will discuss what the FFCRA means for employees who are laid off, furloughed, in health care, who want to take intermittent leave and the notification requirements. 

If you feel your employer is not following the rules, contact the Department of Labor.  

In this episode, we will talk about how you can become more clear on your career and where you are today.  

Do you love what you do?  Are you in your dream job?  Are you ready to hone in on your passions and do something else? 

Do you value yourself?  Do you see your worth or are you waiting for someone else to tell you your worth?  

It's time to get clear on where you want to be now and in the future.  So whatever you choose to do, make sure your current job aligns with your value and worth.  

With all the challenges we face today from COVID-19, children back to school, furloughs, layoffs, protests, election and mask mandates, it is more important now than ever that we guard our minds. 

It will be important to focus on what you can control, be aware and more intentional about what you allow into your mind.

Are you ready to guard your mind and not allow the stress and anxiety of world matters to attach to you and give you negative energy?  

In this episode, we will talk about open enrollment for your health insurance.  It is September and open enrollment is quickly approaching.  

Due to the pandemic, employers will need to diversify and be extremely creative in how they will communicate benefits most effectively!

As you prepare for open enrollment, prepare to make some very important decisions and don't procrastinate!
