Celebrate the first full week of the summer by lightening both your workload and office morale.
How? By adopting a No Beach Ball Policy.
What’s a No Beach Ball Policy? We have a refresher for you in our first article for Medium!
Have you noticed how some people – some leaders – are always seem well rested even though you know they work harder than most? They never break a sweat and nothing seems to faze them. They handle stressful situations with equanimity and never seem out of control. They are more resilient and less reactive. Since caffeine can’t solve all problems, the real question is: how do you improve your ability to renew?
Have you noticed how some people – some leaders – are always high performers? They never break a sweat, and nothing seems to faze them. They handle stressful situations with equanimity and never seem out of control. They are more resilient and less reactive. The question is: how do you amp up your performance?
I was recently invited to speak at an event focused on Women in Science at a session entitled: “Let the Women Speak.” Unfortunately, women don’t speak in public enough.
Have you noticed how some people – some leaders – are uber-confident? Nothing seems to faze them and they always seem calm. They handle stressful situations with equanimity and never seem out of control. The question is: how do you step up your confidence to be like them?
Have you noticed how some leaders have an amazing rapport with their team members? Actually, it’s more than that: team members happily to go the extra mile all the time! And all you can think is, “how do I do that?”
Are you tired of struggling with how to be direct without being called a J-E-R-K? Or perhaps you don’t struggle, but you’ve been told you need to tone it down? Or, and this is quite possibly the worst for you, you don’t give feedback so that you can avoid the intense discomfort. Whichever applies to you, the bottom line is that all you want is to be able to communicate your message without drama, discord, or defensiveness.
You know what you need to do, but your boss or someone else up the chain of command won’t make a decision. Either he or she doesn’t have time, doesn’t understand, or doesn’t care. Whatever the reason is, this person is frustrating you and makes you think it’s time to polish your resume.
You are great at what you do! So great, in fact, that you’ve been promoted to manage your former peers (the subject of an upcoming blog post). There’s just one problem: You are overwhelmed because you are doing your old job in addition to managing others. And, you are concerned because, if being truly honest with yourself, you realize that you are the bottleneck and actually getting in the way. Where are those additional hours in the day?! How will you learn the necessary management skills?!
Is your manager a mystery? Are you frustrated because you never seem to make your manager happy? Does it seem as though you and your manager never see things the same way?
