When things are hard, scary, uncertain, changing, painful, or simply annoying, it is easy for us to freak out. However, when we react in a knee-jerk way to stress (i.e. we freak out), it almost never serves us, others, or the situation. In many cases, we make an already challenging situation more difficult. On this episode, I talk about the phenomenon, why it is so common (especially right now), and some specific things we can do to shift from freaking out to authentically responding, which is much more effective.
As we find ourselves back in the throes of a covid surge, the increased stress and uncertainty can lead us to understandable feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and more. On this episode I talk about how we can give ourselves permission to experience all of this in a healthy way, and also about the importance of staying in the present moment, even and especially with things being so challenging and up-in-the-air right now.
Inclusion, belonging, and allyship are essential in business and life. These things can be challenging and complex. My friend and colleague, Ray Arata, is an expert in inclusionary leadership and the founder of the Better Man Conference. He joins me on the show today to talk about these important topics and about his powerful new book, Showing Up: How Men Can Become Allies in the Workplace.
I love this week between Christmas and New Years…it’s usually a time to rest, reflect, and prepare. On this episode, I talk about how we can consciously complete the year that is ending. This past year has been challenging for me and so many of us. And, if we’re intentional about it, we can bring real closure to this year, which can create the freedom and space to create something new in 2022. I also talk about how we can set ourselves up for success in the new year with how we think about our intentions, goals, and habits.
I threw out my back this past weekend and was in an enormous amount of pain. This experience, coupled with the news of the omicron variant spreading rapidly, had me reflect on the humbling nature of life, especially these days. Being able to embrace authentic humility is actually something that can give us a lot of freedom and power. On this episode, I talk about being humbled by life and offer some specific ideas for how we can navigate this dynamic right now.
