  • Dealing With a Hypochondriac Boss: Stoicess & Professor Weekly Touch-Base

    Dealing with a boss who constantly believes they are sick or on the verge of a medical emergency can be challenging, to say the least. Their constant need for constant need for reassurance and attention can be emotionally draining and time-consuming, taking a toll on your own productivity as well as your personal life. 

    In this webinar, we discuss a Bible character who was mentally draining to Samuel (Samuel was Israel’s first prophet). In fact, even after Samuel’s death this guy was so insecure that he consulted a medium and told her to raise Samuel’s spirit so he could seek Samuel’s advice. 

    Can you imagine your boss being able to contact you even after you’re dead? 

    Listen to the podcast for the outcome of this fiasco.

  • Stoicess' Secret: Anger Issues

     It’s not your first rodeo dating someone intense. But your current partner is different. He’s intense, but he doesn’t seem to be a hothead when things don’t go his way. He definitely doesn’t start yelling when his temper flares. But he does become somewhat gnarly in his dealings with others when they irritate him. 

    In fact, sarcasm appears to be his tool of choice when someone invades his mental space. His voice remains calm while sizing up his victim and then the game begins. And of late, as you and your partner become more relaxed in your relationship, you’re noticing this tactic of his, is becoming more apparent with you.

  • Coworker Socializing: Stoicess & Professor Weekly Touch-Base

    It’s Friday, lunchtime has passed, and your coworkers are getting antsy. They’re watching the clock tick slowly as 5pm approaches. Some are even humming the song, “It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere”. And you know the drill. They’ll be headed toward the local establishment to vent their frustrations and unwind while you head home for some peace and solitude.

     However, some accuse you of not being a team player by not attending after-hours events. And you’ve noticed the promotions do appear to go to those who are a part of the social group. So, how do you compromise?

     In this webinar, we discuss a Bible hero who was very selective with whom she would socialize. She had a steady eye on her goal and all effort was placed on socializing with the right individuals to give her what she wanted. It’s the story of a bold lady’s journey, one who started out as a downtrodden soul but found a redeemer who brought honor back to her life. This lady had spunk!

  • I’m Getting Tired of Working, Should I Give Up?: Stoicess & Professor Weekly Touch-Base

    Receiving mixed signals from management seems to be the new norm. One week the boss is praising you for coming up with this great program and two weeks later you’re getting the memo that your work is unsatisfactory because you’ve not come up with another great opportunity for the company to make money. You’re satin sheets one week and a dishrag two weeks later. 

     In this webinar, we discuss a Bible hero who was ready to throw in the towel when dealing with a difficult Jezebel.

But God had different plans – God sent him back to deal with the same folk to continue His work.
