New Facts About Stress to Reduce Conflict in the Workplace

The MI Insurance  Accounting and Systems Association (IASA) asked me to present a keynote speech on my signature program…Take the Ride of Your Life (Shift Gears for More Balance, Growth and Joy).  IASA offers members continuing professional education, conferences, publications and seminars.   The members were open to learning new facts about stress to reduce conflict in the workplace.  We had an open dialogue.  They were an ideal group of people to work with on this subject.

I have included some of the main ideas for you to use for your own work/life balance and conflict issues.

• Balance is important to all generations
  Work centric:  Those placing a higher priority on work than family.
  Family centric:  Those placing a higher priority on their family.
  Dual centric:  Those placing the same priority on their jobs/family.
• Understand how each generation views their work life balance differently.  Discuss these differences in meetings.
• Making time for ourselves is a necessity…not a luxury.
• Set boundaries in order to make time for the things you want to do.
• Include work/life balance in your mission statement.
• Acting like a victim or blaming others will not make positive change.  The idea is to look at life differently.
  Remember, you get what you tolerate!
• There is good news and bad news about burnout
  The bad news is that we allow burnout to wear us down.
  The good news is that is is time for us to make changes in our life when we start burning out.
