Stoicess' Secret

The alarm is going off again. It first went off at 6am, then 6:15, and now 6:30. Yeah, it’s “third time’s a charm” because if you don’t get up now, you’ll be late for work. But who cares, right? 

As you lie in bed, you dream of escaping the stresses and demands of your job. You’ve been stashing money away and have a comfortable nest egg. Thus, early retirement is an option, and spending your days on activities you want to pursue is very tempting. So, should you retire?

In this webinar, we address God’s view on retirement. We discuss a particular tribe of Israel that was commanded by God to retire at the age of 50. However, how they spent their retirement was different from our present-day view.  In fact, one could argue that they were as productive to society following their retirement. 

It’s a heart-warming story to remind us that as Christians, we always produce healthy fruit for others to consume – no matter our age.

The plan has been made. The big date is forthcoming. There’s excitement in the air. Everyone is working toward that magical date. But there is one problem, at least for you. Your future daughter-in-law doesn’t respect you.  Listen to the Stoicess' guidance on this one.

Are you hopeful for a pay raise on your next evaluation because of the newly assigned work you have been doing? Don't be surprised if the boss lets you down. The Stoicess explains why and what to do next time. 

Feeling personally overwhelmed at work is an all-too-familiar sensation. It’s like everyone is running around with scissors just waiting for another disaster to occur. And being constantly bombarded with additional tasks and deadlines, as management continues to “raise the bar” for productivity’s sake, leads to stress and burnout. Such intensity can have a significant impact on your mental and physical well-being.

In this webinar, we address how you should handle a chaotic work environment.  Our hero constantly fixed His mind on what He agreed to do. He clarified the term “working-hardily” and even gave us a parable to serve as guidance for us evermore.

You’ve been together for over a year, and all is progressing nicely with the relationship, that is, until you overheard him talking with another lady at a party last night. The lady was cozying up to him, and she asked if the two of you were together and he responded, “For now, yes. Our relationship is all about the money.” You almost choked on your tea but quickly left the room before coughing. He didn’t know you were within ear’s range when making his remark.
Listen to the Stoicess' words for her thoughts on this issue.

It was a tough breakup and now the Ex wants to give the two of you a second chance. What should you do? The Stoicess has some advice for you.

Idea generation is the lifeblood of innovation in any organization. And in a highly competitive business landscape, companies that can consistently generate fresh ideas gain a significant advantage over their competitors. However, idea generation goes beyond simply coming up with random thoughts. It requires a systematic approach that takes into account the company's goals, market trends, customer needs, and available resources. In turn, effective idea generation can lead to breakthrough innovations, improved efficiency, and increased profitability.

But what do you do when your boss invites you to a brainstorming session, and then pooh-poohs your newest ideas. They even get the other participants to agree that your ideas are useless.

In this webinar, we address a man who was among the greatest people-pleasers found in the Bible. He adored self-preservation to the point that he allowed manipulative tactics to be used against him which ultimately lead to his demise. 

 Join us as we cover 4 manipulative tactics your boss may attempt to use against you. By being able to identify these 4 tactics, you’ll realize you really are the smartest person in the room, and be able to take the appropriate action for your career.  

 It’s a lesson regarding why being a people-pleaser typically leads to ultimate doom. 

You’re finally over your Ex. Your heart has mended. You’re on your new path in life. That is until you see your best friend intertwined in a romantic kiss with your ex. How do you respond? See the poem for an answer.

You finally got a day off to spend with your partner. Everything appeared perfect until your partner paid more attention to their cell phone, than to you. You’re fired up and ready to stir things up.
 However, the Stoicess has some words for you before you unload on him! 

Your boss has commented many times that your ideas lack sense. You get “that look” so many times after expressing an idea, that you feel like crawling into a hole. You’ve reached a point that keeping your mouth shut is the best way for you to conform to societal norms.

In a world that often values conformity, it's important for you to embrace your uniqueness and recognize that having different ideas is actually a sign of strength. Being different doesn't mean being wrong or strange; it means being authentic and true to yourself. Your perspective and ideas have the power to challenge the status quo and spark innovation. By embracing your uniqueness, you can bring fresh insights and solutions to the table, ultimately driving positive change.

In this webinar, we discuss an individual who many would consider a misfit during his time. But God called the individual to free the Israelites because he had a special uniqueness that few possessed. His uniqueness? He developed himself into a left-handed fighter. You see, in his time, the military only had right-handed fighters. However, his uniqueness allowed him to pass through guard inspection stations with hidden hardware because no-one ever thought to check his “other thigh” for a hidden sword. 

 The moral of the story? God uses abilities that society sees as being inferior. So, while it can be tempting to follow the crowd and conform to societal norms, those like you who dare to think outside the box, are the ones who ultimately make a lasting impression and change our world. Thank you for being that authentic YOU !
