The news today says that yet another company has announced layoffs. Layoffs have become such a standard operating practice for companies nowadays that there's corporate-speak to talk about them: RIFs (Reductions In Force), Rightsizing (yeesh), Corporate Outplacing (wow). But calling it something different doesn't make it any easier to deal with if you're at risk of losing your job. However, there are practical steps you can take to manage the changes that happen if you're losing your job or are concerned that you might. In this episode, we discuss the things to focus on when you're at risk of losing your job. This is the first of 2 episodes about managing a layoff or job instability. Next episode will focus on the emotional aspects of layoffs. Do you struggle to write a resume that gets you noticed? Click here to sign up for my online resume course.

If you haven't heard the term "quiet quitting" yet, it's all over social media recently. What does it look like? Well, it doesn't mean quitting your job - it means doing only what's required for your job, or setting boundaries that say "I'm not going to do more than I’m being paid to do." But is quiet quitting actually a solution to the problems that we're facing? I vote No! That’s what today's episode is all about. Listen now!

S2 Ep 20: Exploring Self-Gratitude (+ group hug!) 15:16

3 years ago15:16

15:16

It's Gratitude Time! Gratitude gives us a different (bigger) perspective on our lives. It can make us feel humble, small, receptive. That's awesome. Except when it goes too far. Then it's not great. When we have too much humility, we may not advocate for ourselves like we should, whether at work, at home, or with any opportunity. In this episode, we turn gratitude inward, to discover how to be grateful to ourselves, by ourselves. Does that make you feel weird or selfish? Oh then you DEFINITELY need to listen. Thank you for listening! I'm grateful for you! ************************** Feedback is appreciated!

S2 Ep 19: Prioritizing - First Thing First 24:20

3 years ago24:20

24:20

I’m going to go on record here saying that the word "priorities" plural is just messed up. The word priority (singular) means the thing that goes first. As in, the singular first position. Saying that we can have more than one thing in the first position is a recipe for stress and overwhelm and divided attention. And here's a Big Truth: Our priorities aren't what we say they are, they're what we actually DO. Our priorities aren't defined by our vision boards or the goals we set for ourselves. Our priorities, in reality, are where we spend our time, our energy, and our focus. So where do you spend your time + energy + focus? Where do you WANT to spend them? Let's explore some ways to get our ducks in a row (with that first duck being the first duck!) Feedback is appreciated!

S2 Ep 18 (Mini): The Harvest of Your Choices 5:37

Hot chocolate, pumpkin pie, and those puffy vests that people dig out of the back of their closet as soon as the weather gets a slight chill. Ah yes autumn! My favorite season. Whenever autumn comes around, it sends me into self-reflection mode. Something about the world shedding its summer glory to rest into winter's chill inspires me to slow down and think: How has my year gone so far? Are there things I need to change to get better results before the end of the year? What results have come into my life from the choices I've made? Do I really need more hot chocolate? (Answer: always yes). In this mini-episode, we'll start that reflection process with two different approaches. Enjoy! ******************** Feedback is appreciated!
