  • EP 762 – Cranky Co-Worker
    Do you have those days when you are more prickly than others or feel that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
    Sometimes we have these types of days when everything seems to just go wrong. We couldn't find our keys. We had a battle with our teenager. We got stuck in traffic or we're getting a cold.
    Today is the day to celebrate being cranky.
    To celebrate the crankiness in us all.
    So Here Are My Hot Tips For Being Cranky On Cranky Co-Worker Day:
    Don't hold the door open for anyone.
    Slam your office door.
    Don't say goodbye when you hang up the phone.
    Growl at anyone who seems perky.
    Say it can't be done to any suggestion that is made.
    Complain about the rain, snow, wind, sunshine, heat, blue sky, and wear really tight underwear, or at least the kind that seemed to want to climb up higher and higher.
    And finally, if these just don't sound right, smile and ignore the crankiness in someone else and maybe offer them a simple act of kindness.

  • EP 761 – Working With Difficult People
    Our goal is to stop rewarding irritating behaviours and attitudes.
    To do this, we must understand what employees expect to gain from being so difficult. 
    Celebrate Mediation Week.
    Understanding why some co-workers may become difficult or negative, and when they are more likely to act that way, can prevent the buildup of tension.
    So why are people difficult?
    Some employees learn very early on, that the more noise they make, the more likely those around them will respond to their squeaky wheel.
    For some, negative attitudes and behaviors are expressed when they just don't have the energy to use better communication skills, judgment, or manners.
    The difficulty behind these attitudes and behaviors is that they are highly toxic, and they can ripple out to those around us.
    So Here Are Today's Hot Tips For Building Resiliency In Celebrating Mediation Week:
    Our goal is to stop rewarding those irritating behaviors. To do this we must understand what the person expects to gain from being so difficult.
    Some want to feel more in control. Some want to feel important and listened to.
    Be in the moment and treat each person as if they are all that matters. It is hard to be difficult with someone who makes us feel special.
    And finally, move difficult people away from problem identification into problem solving. By understanding what employees expect to gain from using undesirable behaviors, we are in a much better position to deflect and defeat the difficult behavior.

  • EP 759 – Substance Abuse Prevention
    Sadly, one in 10 Canadians suffers from some type of substance use disorder. That could mean your colleague, your neighbour or someone in your own family. Addiction does not discriminate—it affects all walks of life.​
    The total societal cost of substance abuse is in the billions. Whether the cost comes from lost productivity in the workplace, increased cost to our healthcare system or pressure on our law enforcement agencies, substance use disorders cost money.
    People are dying. Substance use disorders can be progressive and fatal if left untreated.
    So Here Are Today’s Hot Tips For Building Your Resiliency And Celebrating National Substance Abuse Prevention Month
    Millions experience substance abuse issues, which includes underage drinking, alcohol dependency, non-medical use of prescription drugs, abuse of over-the-counter medications, and illicit drug use. Substance use disorders are health disorders. They are not the result of any kind of character flaw or lack of personal willpower.
    Stigmatizing language can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and act as a barrier to seeking help and sustaining recovery. WORDS MATTER.
    Use “people-first language.” For instance, refer to “person who uses substances”, rather than a “drug user”, “addict” or “alcoholic”. This is more neutral language that helps to maintain the individuality of the person.
    Choose language that promotes the recovery process. This means not describing a person being “clean” or “dirty” but rather “not currently using substances” or “in recovery”.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 758 - Evaluate Your Life
    Do you have balancing your life?
    Have you ever had balanced?
    What does balance mean to you?
    Without taking the times to evaluate how things really are, it’s nearly impossible to make the changes you need to make in order to create the life you wish to lead.
    Evaluate your life day is an opportunity to sit down and review.
    It is a time to pause and reflect.
    In my workshops, I help people look at what they're spending their time and energy on and then we discuss how they would like their life to be.
    It's not easy and often messy.
    So Today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency And Celebrating Evaluate Your Life Day:
    First, it's easy to wish that things were different, but to be different, we must evaluate first.
    This takes effort.
    So sit down and make notes.
    Understand your priorities, then make active decisions to make these things a priority.
    This isn't about wishing. It's about doing.
    Looking from more tips to build your resiliency?
