  • EP 548 - See Something, Say Something
    Whether out in the field or occupying the leader’s chair, everyone has a stake in reporting incidents of suspected or actual wrongdoing. However, being a whistle-blower feels like a violation of that playground rule not to be a tattletale.
    Creating a culture that encourages an individual to raise the red flag when something unethical or illegal is taking place is critical.
    So how do you get past the feeling of not wanting to cause trouble for someone else?
    It’s by understanding that the consequences of keeping silent can be significant and harmful.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Ethics Awareness Month:
    Create a culture within your organization that encourages employees to report wrongdoing. Work with your teams to understand that the cost of silence is high. This silence may impact the safety of colleagues or damage the reputation and bottom-line of the organization.
    According to an article in the Harvard Business Review, a survey of 195 global leaders located in 15 different countries reported that high ethical and moral standards were the most important leadership trait in the workplace.
    Those whose word is their honor and who can be absolutely trusted to be fair, honest, and forthright, are more likely to command the respect of those around them.
    High ethical and moral standards create a safe and trusting environment in the workplace where employees can thrive. When employees feel that they can depend on and trust their leader, they feel safe and will go the extra mile for the organization.
    While leaders have an obligation to set the ethical tone of the organization, it is everyone's ethical behavior that matters.

  • EP 547 - Water, More Valuable Than Gold
    It can give us life and it can kill us.
    Give us pleasure and cause fear.
    It can be found everywhere and in 20 years half of us may not have enough of it.
    It’s more valuable than gold.
    People are dying to have it.
    What is it?
    Water
    It makes up to 78% of our body. To function properly, the body requires around two litres of water per day to avoid dehydration. It is the most important nutrient to our body. It is rather difficult to drink too much water, but it is dangerous to drink too little. Scientists have estimated that by 2030, in some regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%.
    We take water for granted. Everyone pollutes it without thinking of the consequences and many of us waste it without thinking of how valuable it is. Humans can live without food for several weeks, but we would be in dire straits without water, even for only a couple a days.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating World Water Day:
    Plastic water bottles are convenient but a huge waste of resources and pollute our planet.  Look for alternatives.  Use the water fountain.  Take water in a reusable container.
    Turn the water off when brushing your teeth.
    Make sure your taps aren’t leaking.
    Don’t pollute what you have. Look for biodegradable detergents and cleaners to run in your shower, dishwasher and washing machine.

  • EP 546 – Smell Your Stress Away
    Roses are red, Violets are Blue
    Stinky feet? Try some perfume.
    Fragrance Day is a celebration for the olfactory nerves in your nose. There is nothing like the scent of a good wine, a beautiful flower, the coming of spring, fresh baked cookies or a touch of perfume.
    The sense of smell, called olfaction, involves the detection and perception of chemicals floating in the air. The olfactory tract transmits these signals to the brain, particularly the limbic system. The limbic system is involved with emotional behavior and memory which is why when you smell something, it often brings back memories associated with the object.
    The connection between smell and memory happens almost immediately for us.  Baby’s recognize the smell of their mother. No two people have the exact same odor-identity or “smell fingerprint” which is determined by many factors including: our genes, skin type, diet, medicine, mood state and even the weather.
    Here are today's Hot Tips To Celebrating Fragrance Day:
    Use different smells to purposefully relax you, energize you or excite you.  Citrus provides energy and lavender can help you to relax.  You can buy room fresheners, candles and even incense to add that dash of fragrance.
    Take a fragrance walk. Now is an excellent time to get out and notice the smells of spring such as the melting snow or the first flowers.
    So Happy smelling!

  • EP 545 - Burn Baby Burn
    I am so done with winter. It is wearing on my nerves and making me seriously want to move to another country – preferably with snow only in the remotest of locations…just in case I do want to see it again. But that is not likely.
    Today is Snowman Burning Day. It is a day to celebrate the changing of season and where we hopefully can soon leave winter behind us.
    I am not sure that burning a snowman will bring me some spring juju, but at this point I am willing to try.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Snowman Burning Day:
    If you can’t burn a snowman, try encouraging that spring feeling by bringing home some blooms. Even if it is not spring outside yet, some bright flowers can make the day shine a little brighter
    Make sure you have space to welcome spring into your home. Clear clutter from your display areas, closets, drawers and storage spaces. Donate, recycle or sell unused and unwanted clothing and household items.
    Host a Spring Party and break out the BBQ. Getting together with friends or family can lift some of the winter gloom.
    Finally, my favourite choice. Go out for ice cream. Nothing says good-bye to winter more than enjoying an ice cream cone.

  • EP  543 – Forgiveness
    My parents weren’t perfect.
    As a new parent, I knew I was going to be a better parent than my own.  I was going to be kinder, hug more, talk more, connect more, love more.
    And my children would appreciate me, know that I was always fair, never ‘hate’ me, and never doubt my love for them.
    Reality can be painful.  The realization that there is no such thing as a perfect parent, that no one had perfect parents, that you are not going to be the perfect parent and that no matter what, your children are going to take you for granted, think that you are unfair, ‘hate’ you for the decisions that you’ve made and will probably doubt how much you love them at some point, is all part of our maturing process.
    Parenting is not easy.  We wing it, just like our parents did. 
    This realization can lead us to forgiveness.
    Sometimes there is a little to get past, sometimes there is a lot to forgive.  Sometimes the hurt and damage run very deep.  Hanging on to this ‘baggage’ is damaging.  It can damage your current and future relationships. 
    Forgiveness is not forgetting.  It is awareness and it is moving forward. 
    The past can never be re-written.  But sometimes forgiveness allows the future to be much brighter.
    So Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Forgive Mom and Dad Day:
    In my teens, I wanted to change my parents.  As I got older, I have grown to accept them for who they were and are today. 
    They were not perfect, but they have some really good qualities.  Now, I see them through the eyes of my children.  They love their grandparents, the way I loved mine. When I look back, I see that they don’t carry that same baggage when they see their grandparents as I do when I see them as my parents. They greet my parents with excitement and enthusiasm.  They laugh and joke around.   Now, so can I.
    Forgiveness is essential to living a healthy life.
