Sharing my thoughts (and maybe a little snark)
I’ve always been unafraid to say the quiet part out loud, and here on the blog I’m giving you unfiltered advice and thoughts on crying at work, getting your boss to recognize you, learning how to reflect, and lots more.
Tips to Manage Overwhelm
It comes up suddenly. That choking feeling, the panic, sinking into hyper-multitasking. We’re all feeling it more and more - in 2022 over one third of US residents reported that they are completely overwhelmed by stress each day, with those aged 18-44 feeling it the most. And a lot of what overwhelms us are things we can’t control. In addition to all the home/work stress, there is so much pain in the world right now, and a lot of us are feeling it hard.
For the Coach Curious
This experience was so powerful that I became a coach myself, because I want to be able to impact others the way my coaches have impacted me. I’ve been honored to help clients through some of the same things I was going through back then (the values exercise is one of my favorites). I’ve helped folx navigate big new leadership roles, burnout, emerging from freeze mode, thinking about what’s next for them, and so much more.
If you’re “coach curious,” I’d love to chat. Drop me a line (does anyone actually drop a person a line anymore?). I look forward to helping you think about whether coaching is right for you, and whether I’m the right coach for you.
Do You Feel Valued at Work?
Do you feel valued at work?
If not, you’re not alone. In fact, a recent survey by Workhuman reports that one-half of employees feel only somewhat valued or not valued at all by their employer.
Feeling unvalued hurts. You’re not excited to come to work when no one seems to care about the work you’re doing–why would you be?
Be Your Own Mirror: Self Reflection Works (really)
Are you someone who takes the time to reflect and process? Or are you like me, always charging full steam ahead paying very little attention to how you’re feeling about anything?
I’m a recent convert to the process of reflection, which is proven to boost growth and productivity. I can attest that reflection can absolutely help you make better informed decisions about your work and your life.
