What would you do?


Mike,If you woke up tomorrow and found out you were the president of the United States, what would you do?


Wow, that's a big question. If I were the president, I would definitely try to help homeless people first.


How?


I'd make sure there were more shelters and job training programs. If people had a safe place to sleep and learn new skills, they could find work.


That's a good idea. What about healthcare?


Oh, healthcare is super important. If I were president, I would make sure everyone had access to good doctors, no matter how much money they had.


I agree. And education?


If I had the power, I would invest a lot more in education. If kids got a better education, they'd have a better future.


I couldn't agree more. What about climate change?


That's a tough one. If I were president, I would invest a lot in green energy like solar and wind power. If we used more clean energy, the planet would be healthier. If we protect the earth, then future kids will have a nice place to live.


Those are all really thoughtful answers.


Thanks. It's fun to think about. If I ever become president, I will remember this conversation.


You got my vote.


Workplace Rules


Hey Rita, ready for your first day at work?


Hey Pam, I guess so. Are there specific things we must do or things we absolutely should not do around here?


Our rules are pretty relaxed, but yes, there are a few key things.


Like what? I'm all ears.


Okay, first attendance. Everyone must clock in before 9 a.m. sharp. If you are going to be late, you should always call or text your direct manager immediately.


Clock in by 9. Got it.


Next noise. You must keep your phone conversations quiet. If you need to take a long call, you can use the small meeting room down the hall.


That makes sense. Noise control.


Also, lunch breaks. You can take a full hour, but you should try to eat in the break room, not at your desk if possible. And you have to clear your own dishes after using the kitchen.


Okay, no problem.


One last thing, dress code. It's quite formal here. You must wear smart clothes.


So, no jeans?


No, you cannot wear jeans. You may wear simple jewelry, but you mustn't wear anything too flashy.


Okay, I understand. This is very helpful, Pam. Thank you so much. I will make sure to follow everything.


Turning Things Around


Hi, Jane. Thanks for seeing me.


Of course, Melanie, what brings you in today?


Honestly, I just feel bad about myself, my weight. I don't have any confidence anymore. I really need to lose weight.


I hear you, Melanie. We can definitely work on this together. How about we make a simple plan?


A plan? Really?


Absolutely. Let's start with food.


Okay. So, what to avoid?


Anything packaged and processed.No more sugary drinks like soda or juice boxes. Try to cut out fast food, chips, and candy.


That sounds like everything I like.


I know. It's a change. But here's what to eat instead. Lots of fruits and vegetables. Lean proteins like chicken, fish, or beans, and whole grains like brown rice or whole wheat bread. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.


Okay, I can try.


Great. Now for exercise. We'll start easy. I want you to walk for 30 minutes every single day. Just a brisk walk like you're trying to get somewhere. You can add some simple body weight exercises at home, like 10 squats and 10 lunges, maybe three times a week. How does that sound?


It sounds like a lot. But I'm desperate. I'll try my best, Jane.


That's all I ask. You've got this, Melanie.


Melanie, look at you.


Hi, Jane. I know, right? I can't believe it myself.


You look absolutely fantastic. How are you feeling?


Incredible. I stuck to the plan. I'm eating so much better and I actually enjoy my walks now. My clothes fit. I have so much more energy and I finally feel good about myself again.


I'm so proud of you, Melanie. You did all the hard work.


Thank you, Jane, for everything. You really helped me turn things around.
