You’re Invited: Exciting New FREE LIVE Masterclass

Hey There (name). 

Hello, Kick Conflict to the Curb Weekly Update Fans!  I’m so excited to send YOU the 1st announcement of our Masterclass.  You are my loyal readers and I want to share the news about –
How to Feel Heard when No One is Listening without Losing Your Cool.

You will be receiving several announcements with new details about the masterclass.  I promise it will not fill your emails daily!  Hey, a few emails to share my enthusiasm with you is all I ask. 
 
Please share this message with those who you think could benefit from being with me on zoom for 60 minutes.  I will be bringing some of the popular topics to life and I can’t wait to see you there!

Do you want to feel heard when no one is listening without losing your cool?
If I can be more direct…

What are YOU currently (or not currently) doing to be heard even during tough conversations?
The reason I bring this up is that we’ve reached an interesting time in the world with so much noise and drama at work.
On one hand, you no longer need me {or anyone} to tell you how critical it is to be a master communicator – especially for your success.

*thank you Captain Obvious*

But by the same token, about 80% of my coaching practice and virtual class participants who I work with are still struggling to use their voice and feel heard.  This is a huge motivation for them to work with me to help change this constant internal stress.

  • The biggest communication challenges I’ve noticed in the last 12 months {hint: if you continue to remain silent when people push you, you won’t want to miss this}.
  • My 3 Favorite Pillars to get you started:
  • 1. Mindset Secrets
  •  2. The GAP- Your SAFE Place to know how you want to respond
  • 3. A powerful strategy to Make Conversations Safe.
  • Why speaking your truth is more important than ever {and my #1 strategy for changing your mindset from confusion to owning the conversation}.

 I’ll dive deep into what’s currently pulling the most weight for my own communication results and business.

So here’s the deal…
If you’re willing to invest just 60 minutes to get FULLY up to speed on the most powerful “what’s working now” communication strategies …
I promise to reward your energy with only the latest and most effective ideas that will help you leapfrog over everyone else to get the respect you deserve.

Cool?

Can’t wait to see you in the masterclass!

My Favorite Expressions to Use During Stressful Days

  • What are some of your favorite expressions?
  • Do they help you move forward on those days that you need a little nudge?
  • By now my loyal readers know some of my favorite expressions. 😉

This is one I use during my Kick Conflict to the Curb Virtual Course.   It reminds all of us that just thinking of a conflict will not make it disappear. Sometimes we may decide to just let it go.  Other times we don’t have a clue how to even start the conversation. Clients learn how to use their voice and NOT be afraid to speak their truth after only a few sessions. This is powerful stuff here!

Favorite expression

The expression below is one that I use closing most of my videos that I post on Facebook and LinkedIn.
It’s easy to understand. When clients complain about silence in their meetings, I say, “What have you done about it?” When they answer using the words, “I did nothing”, I say, “You get what you tolerate!” I make my point in only 5 words. So can you! Let me know how you use this expression and what kind of results you get from others.

favorite expression

The quote below from Martin Luther King Jr. is one that speaks my truth.

I live by his words and use this quote in most of my writings, videos, and training. The words are so powerful and truer today than ever before.  Remember, I see most of my clients change from being silent and not using their voice to feeling more confident and speaking up. This is music to my ears.

favorite expressions

Let’s stay connected!

What are some of your favorite expressions? Those of you who share either in the comment section or send me an email will receive a new video (that I have not posted yet) about using props to engage your virtual meetings. It’s short and contains tips to liven up your virtual meetings.

Hey, Dear Readers, I’m here for you when you have questions about your own communication or relationship “challenges.” Feel free to send me an email. Full disclosure here:
I don’t charge anything when people send me questions or comments via email. Staying connected is what it’s all about for me.

Have a Great Week!

A Good Night’s Rest Can Reduce Workplace Conflict

Workplace conflict is a topic that I cover almost every week.  Clients share that the lack of sleep gets in their way at work.  In comes my guest author, Kelly N, an expert in healthy sleep.  I hope you enjoy her words of wisdom.  The 5 strategies are tested and will improve your job performance and workplace satisfaction.

If you constantly find your thoughts feeling foggy and you notice yourself yawning at your desk or throughout meetings, it can’t always be an easy blame on Monday or just a long week. It shouldn’t surprise you to hear that a lack of sufficient sleep can negatively affect your overall daily performance, including your success at work. When you’re fatigued, both your body and mind suffer, hindering peak professional performance. A lack of quality sleep is not only harmful to your physical wellbeing but also your mental performance. Creativity, reaction times, focus, motivation, information processing and retention are only a few aspects of professional success that become inherently neglected by a lack of rest.

5 Ways Better Sleep Reduces Workplace Conflict:

  1. Better quality sleep is linked to improved emotions and fewer stressors.
  2. An increased perception of positivity.
  3. Low-stress workplaces have higher rates of employees who don’t encounter sleep discomfort/challenges.
  4. Restfulness plays a key role in self-management and emotional control.
  5. A lack of sleep can make us over-reactive and conflict/negotiation adverse.

It’s no secret that ideal sleep can be a challenge to achieve. Most of the workforce reports feeling tired throughout their regular workdays. This sleepiness hinders productivity for both employees and employers resulting in sub-par work performances on a regular basis. More than 1/4 of professionals are aware that their daytime drowsiness interferes with daily activities multiple days each month. It’s important to remember that even modest amounts of sleep loss will accumulate, so a few nights of inadequate sleep can result in an overall impact on daily functioning.

Workplace Conflict #1:  Sunday Night Insomnia

The night before the long work week often feels like the most restless night of the week. Avoid your acute insomnia by establishing a regular sleep/wake schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up within an hour of the same time each day of the week (weekends included). If you’d like to see if you have developed an unhealthy pattern, consider monitoring with a sleep tracking app.

Workplace Conflict #2:  Discomfort
Your bedtime necessities play a bigger impact on your ability to get effective rest than one might assume. A well-designed and supportive mattress and pillow can alleviate many physical discomforts associated with body pains and aches. Innovative foam layered mattresses are best for spinal alignment and support.

workplace conflict

Workplace Conflict #3:  Busy Mind
An anxious or wandering mind can be the one thing leaving you distracted and unable to easily doze away. It is important to establish familiar and consistent nighttime patterns to let your mind slow down and prepare itself for rest. Avoid overstimulating your mind too closely to your bedtime.

workplace conflict

Workplace Conflict #4:  Hunger
When hunger strikes after you’re tucked away under your sheets, it is hard to resist temptations. Resisting this temptation can be more of a distraction than its worth. Consider a light, carb-heavy snack. If you face hunger based distractions each night, consider adjusting your dinner time and avoid these foods that steal from your slumbers.

workplace conflict

Workplace Conflict #5:  Temperature
Temperature is often framed as a bedtime preference or opinion, like a number of blankets, pillows or nightlights. To progress into deeper sleep cycles your body temperature will naturally decrease. A toasty room or an overactive AC unit will impair your ability to get quality rest. The ideal bedroom temperature sits just around 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

Controlling Stress: Go From Fear to In-Gear

This week’s blog is taken from my book-Take the Ride of Your Life:  Shift Gears for More Balance, Growth, and Joy.  Chapter 1 is called-Controlling Stress-Go From Fear to In-Gear:  I’m Afraid to Take Off the Training Wheels. The story below is one of my favorites when I work with clients who are going through hard times. controlling stress

Long ago in a faraway land, brutal warlords ravaged the countryside. They took over the villages, ruining the lives of the farmers who lived there. There was one farmer who still had some land. He also had a son and he owned a horse.

Every evening the neighbors gathered to console each other. They looked at the farmer with envy and said, “You have such good luck. Everything good happens to you.” The farmer simply shrugged his shoulders, and said, “Good luck, bad luck, who knows?”

One day the farmer’s horse ran off and disappeared. That same day, the warlords rode into the village and killed all the other farmers’ horses. The neighbors looked at the farmer and said, “You have such good luck.” The farmer replied, “Good luck, bad luck, who knows?”

A few days later the farmer’s horse returned. His son was happy to see the horse. He jumped up on the horse’s back and galloped off for a ride. Suddenly, the horse tripped over a rock. The son fell off the horse and broke his leg.

The warlords soon returned and demanded the villagers’ able-bodied sons for a battle. As the sons were marched away, the villagers looked at the farmer and said, “You have such good luck. Your son was of no use to the warriors and his broken leg. ” The farmer shrugged his shoulders and said, “Good luck, bad luck, who knows?”

Let’s Get Real About Controlling Stress

You can either be like the farmer or his neighbors. The farmer realizes that things happen in life. We can’t label them good or bad right away. We have to give life a chance. The neighbors, on the other hand, are too ready to take on the role of victim. No matter what happens, they feel they are on the losing end of any situation and that there is nothing they can do about it. They don’t know how to “look” for other perspectives, other ways of seeing and living.

We can accept the things that happen to us without labeling them good or bad, lucky or unlucky. Losing a job, for example, may seem bad at the time. New and exciting opportunities, however, can arise from this circumstance. It can turn out for the best — if you maintain a positive attitude. It’s not what happens that shapes us; it’s how we react to it.

Controlling Stress:  Do you have a PO approach to life? controlling stress

I’m not just talking about attitude or a positive outlook, but rather an action, the courage to “pedal on” when stressful things happen. In bicycle terms, it means taking off the training wheels and facing your fear. It’s
what helps you really get rolling whether you think you’re ready or not.

When I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard,” I am always tempted to ask, “Compared to what?” Human experience would lose something very important if there were no roadblocks to overcome.

The journey would not be half so wonderful if there were no steep hills to climb or the thrill of the wind in your face as you cruise down the other side.
Still, it is tough to stay upbeat in these chaotic times. That’s why “pedaling on” is a necessary survival skill.
