Worried & Anxious? These Steps Could Help
Feelings of anxiety can affect anyone and for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the sensation can be overwhelming and paralyzing making getting through the day challenging at best. Many clients I work with express their feelings of anxiety, worry, and stress --- and we work through this from a coaching perspective. The majority of the time the anxiety is reduced or quelled entirely in a matter of minutes with a short conversation and reframing their mindset.

START.
Starting the new year right may mean getting a solid footing on the process of ‘STARTING’ altogether. I have written about how starting helps with the finishing in a previous post – so I am backing up a bit now, and addressing the ‘starting’ process itself.
5-minute Tasks to Make Working from Home Efficient
So now you work from home part of the week and bounce into the office the rest of it. Unless you got highly skilled at making this work, you may have some stress and overwhelm with this dynamic. For some, the transition is challenging and for others a welcomed change of scenery. If you are the former, there are some ways to make the best use of your time while you are working at home.
Be Nice. That’s It. Just Be Nice.
At a recent visit to a local hospital, it was hard to not notice the signage in the elevators indicating that abusive or aggressive behavior would not be tolerated there. To me that seemed so obvious that I was befuddled that it had to be blatantly stated with a professionally created sign to visitors. Then I happened upon an article from Harvard Business Review (Frontline Work When Everyone Is Angry, 11/9/2022, Harvard Business Review https://bit.ly/3TBrDOx) that explained the signs I saw. Ahhh, okay – there is an issue I was unaware of in the world these days. People are being ‘pissy.’
Sleep and Productivity…
Sleep is one of the key factors for our cognitive functioning to, well…function. You can probably recall a time when you didn’t get enough sleep and you were not as effective as you could have been: You forgot important information, your memory was foggy, and maybe you weren’t as speedy or focused as you normally are.
Logistics of Aging & Dying – From an Organizing Perspective
This month’s blog post is taking a different turn as my mother passed away recently and I wanted to write about some things I have learned from an organizational perspective during this time. Forgive me for not mentioned the emotional journey, nor any legal aspects. This is more about the logistical aspect of losing a parent and what to do before they pass, and also before it’s your turn.
Yes! You CAN Make Meetings Productive!
With most meetings occurring online, I’m hearing about the frustrations of time wasted during meetings from leaders and teams’ members alike. Meetings are running overtime. The structure is lost. People can’t make it to their meetings on time – even virtually! Some people talk too much while others never utter a word.
How to Finish a Task!
Are you someone who starts a whole bunch of projects and tasks yet rarely finish any of them? You are in excellent company! A huge percentage (89% according to a study shared in the Huffington Post) of business people don’t finish their task list. Starting things and not getting back to them often is a result of procrastination, excessive distractions, poor planning, or simply a lack of desire.
The Opposite of Worrying = Planning
Recently, I helped a client eliminate the worrying component in his narrative which was causing serious procrastination. This is not unusual, and here are some thoughts for those who find themselves trapped in this wheel of hell. I understand worry intimately. I know those who are chronic worriers and it can quite literally ruin your life. Everything elicits worry in their mind. The truth is that the majority of the things people worry about never manifest into anything at all.
