  • EP 837 – Managing a Difficult Boss
    It’s the end of the day and you’re exhausted, frustrated and wondering why you put up with your difficult boss. If you have been in this situation before, you know just how much they can impact how you feel about your job, and even your own security and confidence.
    Understanding why some people become more difficult or negative, and when they are more likely to act that way, can prevent you from obsessing about your difficult boss, to the exclusion of all your other colleagues, who were quite pleasant and appreciated your work. By reflecting on your role in these difficult interactions, you will be in a better position to learn strategies to head off and/or counteract the stressful effects of these encounters.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency and Celebrating Home and Office Safety and Security Week
    The main premise to work from is that difficult people use negative behaviour to get what they want. It has decreased their stress before and they are counting on it to work for them again.
    We must understand not only what people are going through but also what they expect to gain from being so difficult. Some want to feel more in control. Some want to feel important and listened to, and some want to avoid outright conflict, but will act out their annoyance or disagreement through other negative behaviours.
    Our role is to find alternate ways of meeting their needs for control, importance or safety.

  • EP 836 – Someday We'll Laugh About This
    Humour can help you thrive in change, remain creative under pressure, work more effectively, play more enthusiastically, and stay healthier in the process.
    Humour is an attitude focused on generating positive feelings in yourself and for others. It is an active state and a choice that we make.
    One other advantage of maintaining a sense of humour and being able to freely laugh is that it provides us with a powerful sense of perspective and ability to build relationships with those around us.
    Humour and creativity originate from a lively imagination and the ability to recognize and to appreciate the incongruities of life.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency and Celebrating Some Day We'll Laugh About This Week:
    Our ability to look at the funny side of life can be developed with practice.
    Post a ‘Murphy’s Law of our Workplace’
    Develop a Humour First-Aid Kit and fill it with your favourite jokes, clippings, and stories
    Make up a humourous response to ‘How are you doing’’
    Being able to laugh about our situation and ourselves helps us to release the tension, regain our perspective, accept that which we cannot change and experience joy.

  • EP 835 - Thank God It’s Monday
    Having trouble returning to work on Mondays? Feel like you never really left? Struggling with the blahs’?
    Studies show that happiness at work may be the most important success factor for a modern workplace and that happy companies make more money!
    Your happiness at work is your responsibility. Not your boss’s, not your co-workers’ and not society’s. It’s Yours. However, if you are a boss or leader it is your responsibility to set a culture where it’s easy to be happy at work.
    Happiness at work doesn’t only come from the policies, strategies, plans or values. It comes from being able to do great work with great people.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Thank God It’s Monday:
    Decide to say, “Thank God it’s Monday”. Make sure that you set the intention to be grateful for the fact that you have a job and grateful for the fact that you get to demonstrate your talents to the world through your work.
    Smile – it is contagious. Just as negativity is contagious, so is being optimistic, fun and happy.
    How you show up in life and at work, matters! If you are just going through the motions, you will be shortchanging yourself and depleting your happiness.

  • EP 834 - Everyone Needs More Sleep
    I must have been sleeping. I missed the Festival of Sleep this morning. The celebration is an opportunity to sleep in, snooze, doze, nap, and catch 40 winks. However, I did doze off and I did go to bed early last night, so I guess that I unknowingly celebrated it anyway.
    The Festival of Sleep reminds us that we all could use a little more sleep. Before the light bulb was invented, we use to get on average 10 hours of sleep. Now many of us are lucky to get 6.5 hours of sleep per night. Yet, we know that we need 7-9 hours per night just to stay healthy.
    In fact, I think that we should celebrate the Festival of Sleep for two solid weeks – The week between Christmas and New Years and then the week after New Years. What a great way to end an old year and start a new year.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating The National Festival Of Sleep:
    Obvious tip alert – Go to sleep.
    Watch for those things that interfere or prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. If you are like the majority (65%) of the population who do not get the right kind or length of sleep, you need to find the right strategies to get a good night sleep. Go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time. Keep your room cool. Block outside noises. Watch the kinds of foods that you eat prior to bedtime. Don’t exercise right before bed.

  • EP 832 - New Years Resolution Week
    “This year, I am going to earn my CSP.” That is what I said several years ago at this time. And thankfully, I can say that after many hours of sweating it through, I received my Certified Speaking Professional designation in San Diego, California July 2007.
    For many of us, New Year’s Resolution Week is a time to reflect on the changes that we want and need, and in doing so we compile a list of resolutions. Unfortunately if our resolutions happen not to work out as we had hoped, we tend to put off trying again until the following year.
    So Here is today’s Hot Tip For Building Resiliency and Celebrating New Years Resolutions Week:
    Visualize It
    Many experts agree that the resolution itself is too often equated with the plan when it is only one part of the overall plan. One tip is to visualize the future.  Identify and visualize what feelings will come about by you achieving your goal. Replay this image regularly. The more details the better!
    Everyday is a new challenge to live the way you intend to, according to your passions and purpose. Remember, it takes less effort to stay the same than it does to change. Most goals require stepping outside of your comfort zone and that is why many people give up.
