Keeping good company morale

How to Deal with the Over/Underachiever in Your Office

Some people are true slackers believing everyone else should take on their workload for them whereas others are perfectionists and work to such excess that others feel intimidated by them. In many ways these two extremes are flip sides of the same coin. They alienate others and bring down the company morale due to the coworker problems they create. In this presentation, Dr. Debra teaches participants how to spot these types in the office or recognize that they themselves fit this description. She offers the tools needed to change this vicious cycle.

Grief encompasses a wide range of experiences. It Grief encompasses a wide range of experiences. It is not only for death. 

It manifests whenever we face significant change or loss in our lives. Grief could be the heartache of a relationship ending, the sadness of drifting apart from a once ride-or-die friend, the sorrow felt when a career path shifts unexpectedly, or even the nostalgia that comes with moving away from a beloved home. These moments mark the end of something familiar and cherished, often leaving a void that is hard to fill.

Society often emphasizes resilience and moving on quickly, but taking the time to mourn these losses is essential. 

Allow yourself the space to process the emotions. Sit with the sadness. Understand its source. You might cry. You may try talking with friends. You may find it helpful to seek professional support from a therapist. It’s all part of the journey toward acceptance and healing.

Over time, grief can ultimately help us appreciate the value of what we’ve lost and embrace new beginnings with a deeper understanding of what truly matters in life.

ADD and ADHD are characterized by inattention and/ ADD and ADHD are characterized by inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that is more severe than what typically appears for that child’s age group.

Children with AD(H)D frequently suffer from low self-esteem and a sense of social failure, as their behavior can be quite annoying to people around them. These problems become especially pronounced in children who haven’t been properly diagnosed or who have been pegged as a “bad seed.” If left untreated, these problems often get worse, and the sufferer may also develop a propensity toward failure, a negative self-identity, problems in social and intimate relationships, and difficulty functioning in the workplace.

Below are a few tips you can apply right away to help keep your child on track, particularly with regard to their education.

While hanging out in the sandbox with one of my fa While hanging out in the sandbox with one of my favorite toddlers, it occurred to me that one of the first words we utter when we finally begin speaking is the word “no!” Yet somehow during the developmental process, so many of us lose sight of this short and simple, yet ever so powerful word.

Why does it become increasingly difficult for many of us to use it as we get older? We think it. We want to say it. Yet, oftentimes we stifle it. Or we pause and either come up with some grandiose euphemism for it or we flat-out agree to something we really don’t want to do.

Mind you, I’m certainly not suggesting that we should all become selfish naysayers. Quite the contrary! It’s okay to put our own preferences aside to do things for others for the sake of a greater good.

But sadly, we over-teach people to be “nice” –which actually translates to “pretending not to know.” So if you think about it, being “nice” has nothing to do with kindness, compassion, or empathy–the three qualities so often lacking in humanity.
