Pause. Reflect. Choose. I've been a fan of the power of the pause since my days directing regional theatre. I learned that the essential skill of pausing in a heightened moment is the key to developing mindful intention. In live performance, a pause is used to deepen or shift the direction of the story. It sharpens the focus and awareness on a new piece of information. In the moments following the pause, invariably something, whether subtle or profound, has changed. At work, taking a pause amid a busy, chaotic, or otherwise overloaded day allows for the opportunity to create an energy shift, to release stress, and to move from reaction-based engagement to a more intentional focus to the present moment's priorities. #liveandleadwell #theenergyadvantage #becausewerhuman

When your job is centered around helping others work through stressful challenges, you may find yourself absorbing your clients' stress. In this U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development sponsored Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) Housing Counselors Summit, I had the opportunity to provide a deep-dive workshop exploring: —— How to stay present and effective while protecting yourself from absorbing your client's stress. —— How to enhance your wellbeing AND your clients' in the process. —— How to cultivate self-care that helps you build greater fulfillment in LIFE and in WORK. Thank you to the team at RCAC for the opportunity to work with our nation’s housing counselors who are on the front line of helping others navigate affordability challenges and the stress of the home buying process. #TheEnergyAdvantage #LiveandLeadWell #Becausewerhuman

We have so much to learn from each other if only we'd slow down long enough to allow the ideas and perspectives of others to "land." Often in our hurry to provide answers, we jump in with our perspective, opinion, anecdote, or counterpoint without absorbing the insights, experiences, and knowledge of others. In a thriving workplace, individual insights are earnestly given space and consideration among teams, creating opportunities for new solutions to surface, while building cultures of trust and collaboration. I recognize that I can get animated and very verbal in stimulating conversations. So I share my "note to self" in case you might relate: Listen and learn. (And remember to thank those wise ones around me for helping me continue to grow!) #LiveandLeadWell #Theenergyadvantage #Becausewerhuman

How is your organization designing workplace wellbeing and cultivating wellness competence? This Forbes piece highlights a recent, expansive McKinsey Health Institute survey confirming the “integral connection between job satisfaction and overall wellbeing” and underscoring the need necessity for organizations “to pivot and design workplaces that support the complete health spectrum of their employees, creating a harmonious balance between work demands and personal wellbeing”. The findings revealed that those who report positive experiences at work also indicated better holistic health. They were also more innovative and demonstrated enhanced job performance.
