Multi-Tasking and Stress

Do you pride yourself on your ability to multi-task? I know I do. I’ve even shared it as one of my top strengths in an interview. The problem is, that very “strength” contributes negatively to my stress level. The brain cannot really multi-task. It can only focus on one thing at a time. Our multi-tasking […]

Say Whatever You Want and Still Keep Your Job!

Working with corporate employees I often hear, ” I really wanted to say this but of coarse I couldn’t.”  So where do all those unsaid words go?  For some people they end up feeling like a lump in the throat, as one of my client’s experienced.  Others of us tuck our unsaid words and emotions […]

Are You Living in Comfortable Misery?

Take a minute to think back on your life… How often have you stayed in a job you didn’t like  or clung to a failing relationship or lived  in a location you didn’t fit in?  I know I have!  I have held onto friendships that were no longer serving either of us just because I […]
