  • EP 702 – Single Parenting: Life Choices
    Single parent, lone parent, one-parent family, independent parent, non-married parent, alone parent, autonomous parent: these are the words or terms used to identify, or self-identify, adults who parent independently.
    These labels can carry stigma with them which can impact family well-being and identity.
    Interestingly, according to Statistics Canada, the proportion of lone parents in our nation is not drastically different from what it was 100 years ago, nor is it that much different in the US. But what does differ, is the reason behind those numbers, that is, a modern-day choice of relationship status versus a latter-day result of circumstance, often related to mortality rates.
    We know from research, that resources, such as money, time and community support have a more significant impact on child and parent experience and/or outcome than a parent’s relationship status.
    When you parent alone – whether due to divorce, the loss of your partner, or having a partner who works away from home for long periods of time – trying to manage the family situation can be an overwhelming task at times.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Single Parent Family Day:
    If you are a lone parent, it is important to find time and ways to take care of your own needs. There is a quote that I like that says, “how thin can I spread myself before I no longer exist?” We must take care of our own needs before we can take care of our family.
    You need to find supports within your extended family, work, and community.
    However, do remember that you are a team. Each of you have a role to play on the team. Divy up the chores and responsibilities and stick to a routine as much as possible. Predictability can help conquer the chaos.

  • EP 701 – Managing the Age Gap
    What does the makeup of your team look like?
    Are they mostly from the Baby Boomer or Generation X era?
    Do you have any Gen Y’s or even Millennials working for you?
    For the first time in contemporary history, there are four generations in the workforce — Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and the first of Gen Z.
    With employees ranging in age from their late teens to their 70s, leaders must tailor their management styles to fit their multi-generational workforce, who work with different value sets and expectations of each other.
    This age difference can make it a bit more challenging for leaders to handle.
    Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating our diverse workforce.
    Don’t confuse your teams by phrasing orders as suggestions: Boomer managers are often reluctant to give clear, direct, specific instructions. Although you really mean “Do it,” often we use phrases such as “You might want to consider…”, or “Have you thought about…” Gen Xers and New Millennials (Gen Yers) hear these as suggestions. They’re caught off guard when you’re later surprised to find out they didn’t carry out your directive in they way that you intended.
    Talk with them about more than just work.
    Be a leader, not a friend: Knowing and being interested in your employees isn’t the same as becoming their friends. What they’re looking for is a role model, a mentor, and a leader—not a buddy.
    Reward good work quickly: Gen X and Y employees are used to instant feedback and gratification.
    Think knowledge exchange, not knowledge transfer. As technology changes, your younger generations have the upper hand and experience. Allow them to shine as they show others how to adapt.
    With 4 generations in the workplace, a strong leader can juggle these vastly different expectations, communication needs, and views about the workplace.

  • EP  700 – Be An Angel
    Our angels watch out for us. Our angels wipe away our tears. Our angels make our day brighter just being there. And many times we do not recognize that we are looking into the eyes of our angels.
    There are probably people in your life that could really use an angel by their side right now. Why not be that person? It’s easy to share love and kindness with the world if you put in a little bit of effort.
    On this special day, I am encouraging you to not only be someone’s angel, but to recognize those angels who are already in our lives. They may be our parents, our grandparents, our children, our doctors, our nurses, our teachers, or our friends.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Be An Angel Day:
    Look for your angels – those who have made your life easier – and say thank you. They won’t want it, because our true angels don’t usually feel like they have done anything exceptional, but we all can benefit from the appreciation of others.
    In such a busy society, people forget to stop and listen. You can be an angel to someone today just by taking the time to really listen to what they have to say. Listen with empathy. Listen without judgement.
    Speak with kindness. Simply using kind words to spread positivity can lift up others around you.
    Angels offer a helping hand to those in need. When we show a small gesture of kindness and compassion to others, we are spreading love.
    Those who encounter you will be lifted up by your blessings of compassion and kindness. Being like an angel is easy, if you just put in the effort.

  • EP 698 – Pesky Annoyances
    I hate donating blood … to mosquitoes.
    They are ruining my lovely gardening morning.
    Frogs and bats: it's time to step up and do your part!
    Get rid of the angry, blood-sucking, pesky mosquitoes, so that I can enjoy my outdoor sanctuary again!
    Please and thank-you!
    It's National Mosquito Control Awareness Week.
    Mosquitoes are one of the few downsides to where we live in cottage country. Fortunately, for everyone else, if I am around the chances of you getting bit is far less.
    I was out in my garden for just a few minutes and was being attacked by these mini monsters.
     
    I love this kids poem that I found:
     
    Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes
    You are hard to ignore,
    I itch and I scratch,
    I can't stand anymore,
    you've bitten my bottom,
    you've bitten my top,
    mosquitoes, mosquitoes,
    I'm begging you stop.
    Unknown.
     
    Sometimes it is the big things that challenge us and get on our nerves. Sometimes it little pesky things that send us over the edge.  Resiliency is all about our ability to bounce and move forward.  Today seems more of a fly swatter day, than a bouncing kind of day.
