…letting go and being open to change is one of the most common parts of life people struggle with.
The conversations I’ve been having lately have been timely, to say the least. Men and women in various stages of their careers have shared a common feeling of something’s missing. Jobs are feeling like just that – a job. Some have described it as a feeling of unfulfillment, a lack of personal enjoyment and many have no idea of how to
With remote work becoming more than just a trend, so is corporate well-being in the future of work. Frankly, to me, it’s just – well-being and we need to start thinking about creating work environments that support it. With a global pandemic prompting leaders to happily wave goodbye to old ways of working, we saw many making lifestyle changes that reminded them
Have you ever said yes to something when you really should have said no? Maybe it was a project or an opportunity that seemed really great at the onset, and as time went on, something shifted. Time will do that to you. And your self-worth will perk up if it’s been comprimised. Especially if you rushed your yes when you
I’m still coming out of holiday mode and all of what was 2020 because let’s be real – it was A YEAR! A year I was quite happy to say goodbye to. A new year tends to bring a whirlwind of excitement for the success and possibilities that lie ahead, which inevitably brings failures. I don’t say that from the
This time of year, holiday parties are in full swing and many of us are getting ready to set goals for the year ahead. It’s one of my favourite things to do during the holidays. Not to be confused with creating new year’s resolutions. 😉 Whether you plan on doing this for yourself or at work with your team, research
When I think about creativity in the workplace, one of the things that come to mind is self-expression. The thought of having a diverse group of individuals share their ideas in their own individual way is what brings people together and helps move things like innovation forward. We know for people to freely do so, they need to feel safe.
Brace yourself. It’s not the first time I’ve written about trust and it likely won’t be the last. Trust is the foundation of every relationship we have starting from the early years of childhood. It’s also the very thing that can take time to build but be broken in an instant. We spend years cultivating our relationships, building trust in
The hustle and bustle of work-culture and the fast-paced work life have been celebrated forever and a day. A lifestyle for many in the corporate world – but was it really working for you? I can confidently tell you it likely wasn’t. It wasn’t working before and it’s definitely not going to hold up in a post-COVID world. I saw
When deadlines are being missed at work, it’s easy to question your level of motivation among other things. You might ask, what’s changed? Your performance was at its best 6 months ago, yet somehow over the recent months, performance has fallen flat, so what do you attribute the decline to in your work? For many, the pandemic has influenced nearly
Lately, it seems as though many of my conversations have been about life events occurring in people’s lives that have them being forced to react instead of responding. Anything from relationships being challenged, to jobs dangling by a thread or leaving a toxic workplace altogether. This year alone has brought about some of the most significant challenges that had many
Remember when you loved having the flexibility to work from home? You saw it as a perk, while others saw it as a part of work-life and now it might just be a part of your reality – for good. As businesses acclimate to what a new work-life experience will look like post-COVID, companies like Facebook and Twitter have announced a transition that will
We’re nearly halfway through the year and those goals you may have set for yourself in January (hello new year’s resolutions) may be awash in light of this pandemic. Perspective will either tell you to completely redo them or revisit them and make them work FOR you in our current state. Change has always been a constant and yet for
Is it too early to be talking about heading back to the office post-COVID-19? Probably not. Our transition to working remotely happened fast and suddenly. There was no planning and strategy work to prepare; it was mandated and we just transitioned. Slowly but surely, governments around the world are in discussions and planning for transitioning back to work and re-opening
Self-care and balance have increasingly become a focus in our culture. It was trend like for a while and slowly has become a part of our lives that we hope to ‘strive for’ personally and now professionally. Varying definitions will tell you what it means and what it should/could look like (Icertainly have one) and ultimately it will be subjective
We are back from hopefully a restful and enjoyable holiday and 2020 has been getting so much buzz since we are entering a new decade. This year will be special, to say the least, and some have said, bigger, better, more expansive, you name it, I’ve read all the things and I’m sure you have as well. It’s also the
The first thing that came to mind as I sat down to write this week was, “does everyone need to read another post about resolutions, goals and planning for a new year? Aren’t there a few dozen or so if not, more posts out there writing about some version of the end of a decade and the start of another?”
Have you ever made a bad career decision and later realized, “what was I thinking?” Well, there was a point in time I thought these kinds of decisions often happened in the form of career moves when moving from one company to the next. I didn’t think they can also be choosing roles within your company you could later regret.
When was the last time you were in transition? Some of you might be in one right now! And if you are – I congratulate you. Even in what may seem tough or challenging, there’s inevitably something better around the corner or already on its way to you. What if you could go through your transition or whatever change you
The risks we take in our lives are often a direct measure of how willing we are to step outside our comfort zone. The risk of being seen. The risk of being judged. The risk of not being liked. The risk of failing. The risk of the unknown. The list goes on and on. Yet, we rarely consider the successes
Do you believe that time is unlimited? So many of us struggle with the notion that time is limited. We hold the idea that in order to do something REALLY big or important in our lives, we need to do it in a certain amount of time… or… we’ll expire? Of course, we won’t, but it’s a limited belief many
Welcome back! To a new year, a new start and 365 days ahead of you to DO whatever it is your heart ❤ desires. Coming back from a relaxed holiday with lots of time for rest, sleep (LOTS of sleep), family time, filling my belly (and soul) with love and yummy treats. I’m looking forward to getting back into the
