Eliminating Office Drama

Creating Healthy Boundaries in the Workplace

The workplace is a fertile ground for chaos if we don’t learn how to say “no” to power struggles or excessive demands, or how to handle difficult co-worker problems, employees or supervisors. We spend far too much time and energy in the workplace for the experience to be anything less than joyful and productive. Get the most out of your 9-5 by learning the art of setting constructive limits and creating positive workplace relationships.

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.

When we focus less on people who don't reciprocate When we focus less on people who don't reciprocate, we have more energy to devote to people who value us in the way we deserve.

Your big heart is not the problem. ❤️ 

It's where you give your love that makes all the difference.

Caring deeply is not a flaw. Don't let the world harden you (but that's easier said than done!)...be more intentional about where you open your heart.

Being weighed down by resentments doesn’t help any Being weighed down by resentments doesn’t help anything to improve. But acknowledging that the resentment is there, no matter how deep down it hides, can lead to healing.

Sharing feelings of resentment can be a pivotal step toward forgiveness, not only for oneself but also for loved ones. When necessary, seeking professional assistance can help you and your family move forward together. 

Remember, it's not too late to heal together and repair your relationship, no matter how dim the prospect may seem right now.

I worry that we've lost the art of community, espe I worry that we've lost the art of community, especially in parenting. Can we get it back?

There is so much "it's all about me" instead of "what about we"

We need to be very mindful of the context in which our family and our life exists. None of us go through this life alone.

What are your family values? What do you want your community to look like? Together, we can create a better tomorrow for all of us & for the next generation.

Besides being some of the world's best companions, Besides being some of the world's best companions, did you know that pets can improve your mental health?

😽 Their unconditional love boosts our self-esteem
🦴 They remind us to be playful
🐶 They help us be less lonely
🐰 They are a happy distraction
🦜 They add structure to our days
🧶 Playing and petting reduces stress hormones
🐩 They help ease sadness and anxiety

If you are considering adding a pet to your family, remember to adopt or shop responsibly & carefully consider your daily routine and the commitments that come with having a pet in your home. Fostering is a very useful tool for people who are unsure about their ability to give a pet a lifetime commitment. Animal rescues are often looking for neighbors to foster dogs and cats while they wait for their forever home.

Many people find it challenging to know what to sa Many people find it challenging to know what to say to support their loved ones and help them feel secure after a trauma. So, here’s a list of phrases that are best left unsaid, along with some uplifting alternatives to try out instead.

Instead of, "Things will get better", ➡️ try, "I see that you’re hurting".
Instead of, "Why didn't you tell me before?" ➡️ try, "Thank you for trusting me with this".
Instead of, "We need to talk about this" ➡️ try, "I’m here to listen if you’d like to talk".
Instead of, "Enough anger, it’s time to move on" ➡️ try, "Of course you’re angry! I’m here for you".

I've been talking about "Sassy And Rude" a lot lat I've been talking about "Sassy And Rude" a lot lately, but I also think that my audience here would also enjoy an older book of mine called "Healing The Sensitive Heart"

I wrote it to help you overcome past traumas and learn to not only survive, but to thrive. Stop living in the "minimum security prison" of survival and move to the freedom of a thriver mentality.

It feels scary because you're unfamiliar, not beca It feels scary because you're unfamiliar, not because you're incapable. Bravely take the first step, and you'll soon discover that you are more prepared than you may think you are.

Anxiety and fear are a normal, sometimes healthy, safety mechanism for us in these times of change. But don't let these feelings hold you back from the greatness you might experience from these new paths you start down during the growth periods of your life. 

Does this sound familiar? I'd love to hear about some times that felt scary to begin with, but you soon realized were the uncertainty of times unknown.
