How do you deal with employees playing on their cell phones instead of working? As their leader, it's time to have empathy and find a balance between work and non-work activities.

Do you say “I’m Sorry” too often at the office? To be accepted in society’s current mainstream, you must quit over-apologizing. 

In every workplace, there is a need for individuals who are willing to lend an ear and offer their thoughts and insights to their superiors. These individuals, often referred to as sounding boards, serve as a valuable resource for decision-makers, providing them with a different perspective and helping them navigate through complex situations. 

  It is crucial to recognize when you’re a sounding board for your boss, that the
situation has crossed the line into you being taken advantage of. When your
boss consistently relies on you as their sounding board without acknowledging
your own needs or aspirations, it can lead to feelings of being undervalued and
overlooked.

  As Christians, we often use God as our sounding board when we want things to go our way in our careers. A better job, more money, additional time off. And when
things don’t seem to be going our way, we get upset with God. 

  However, have we ever thought about what God wants when we use Him as our sounding board? Are we acting like our boss and not acknowledging God’s needs?

  In this webinar, we address three individuals who got what they wanted from God
because they framed what they wanted as being something God could use. 

  It’s a story of trust and obey with a touch of compassion for helping God’s
children. 

What do you do when your partner demands an apology for something you have no control over? Listen to the Stoicess' words on how to handle difficult conversations. 

Should you share the juicy gossip that deals with a colleague? The Stoicess has some advice to consider.

Being passed over for a promotion can be one of the most traumatic experiences possible. Hearing the words, “You were not selected” immediately triggers a range of emotions - disappointment, frustration, and even resentment. However, before letting your emotions get the best of you, it's important to reflect on these feelings while assessing the situation objectively. Oftentimes, by being patient and watching the interaction between the boss and the selectee as time passes, you may count it as a blessing that you did not receive the promotion.

In this webinar, we address a promotion that many a man would say they wish they could receive, but watching the selectee as time went by, would likely change their minds and be satisfied they were passed over for that promotion. It’s a Samson of a story, but lacking a key ingredient called LOVE.
