IQ and EQ: We use both to solve the puzzles in our lives...it just depends on what kind of puzzle. Having a high IQ demonstrates one’s nuanced critical thinking and cognitive abilities while having high EQ allows managers to perceive, understand, and use emotions strategically. Having both qualities enables managers to think critically, solve problems quickly, better understand their employees, develop constructive relationships with team members, see the big picture, and have balanced perspectives on issues.  In short, intelligence plus empathy equals success. #paralleslconsulting #executivecoaching #EQversusIQ #emotionalintelligence #empathy

Forgiveness is a powerful act of self-liberation. It’s not about letting others off the hook. It’s a personal decision to release your own burdens.  Reconciliation and forgiveness are different—one involves rebuilding trust, and the other is about finding your own peace.  Remember, you can forgive without reconciling and reconcile without fully forgiving. Focus on your own path to emotional freedom. #SelfLiberation #Forgiveness #MentalWellness #ParallelsConsulting #EmotionalFreedom

Flash Technique is an innovative and highly efficient approach to trauma treatment, comparable to EMDR but significantly more condensed. This method involves brief neural distraction, allowing the brain to autonomously reprocess and integrate traumatic memories stored in distinct neural networks. The result is a transformation of traumatic experiences into ordinary memories, significantly reducing their emotional impact. This therapeutic approach can facilitate profound healing and restoration of emotional equilibrium. Maggie Doolan, LCSW, EMDR-T, is a certified practitioner of Flash Technique. At Parallels, she offers its transformative benefits to clients. Her specialized training enables her to effectively implement this cutting-edge method in trauma recovery.

There are profound connections between happiness, resilience, and self-awareness, enhancing one another in the journey toward personal growth and well-being. Happiness is deeply tied to our resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges. When we cultivate resilience, we’re preparing ourselves to handle adversity and setting the stage for sustained happiness by learning that we can overcome the hurdles life throws our way. This understanding brings joy and satisfaction, knowing that we are capable of navigating life’s ups and downs. Central to both happiness and resilience is self-awareness. Understanding our thoughts, emotions, and reactions is crucial. It allows us to identify what truly brings us joy and how we can recover from setbacks. Self-awareness enables us to make conscious choices that align with our deepest values and needs. Together, these elements create a sustained cycle of fulfillment. #Parallelsconsulting #HappinessJourney #BuildResilience #SelfAwareness #powerofresilience

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. Men often face pressure to appear solid and stoic, leading to their pain being shrouded in silence, stigma, and shame. This societal expectation can make it difficult for men to acknowledge their struggles, let alone seek help. The stigma around men’s mental health can make them feel ashamed or 'weak' for experiencing these feelings, pushing them further into isolation. It’s crucial to break this cycle by encouraging open conversations and showing that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let’s work to create a more supportive environment where men can openly discuss their mental health without fear of judgment.  Parallelsconsulting.com #MensMentalHealth  #BreakTheStigma  #MentalHealthAwareness  #ParallelsConsulting
