Tuesday, 29 January 2013. What is life about? Are you wondering what is life about? Gail Sheehy (1976), her book. Describes seven stages of adult development. She sees transitional stages in adulthood where we question and re-evaluate the choices that we have made earlier in our lives. Life becomes more complex and you start to question what is life about? Maybe this is where you find yourself, wondering about your life purpose and what is life for? 8221; is writing out a chronological life history.

Sunday, 24 February 2013. Feelings are not facts. It is easy to see that in an example about a phobia of heights how our feelings do not represent the facts. It is harder to see that same concept in our everyday life, but the same thing happens almost daily. This principle works whether it is a big thing like being embarrassed or a little thing like wanting someone to do something. How many times have parents become angry/ frustrated because their child does not want to eat the dinner presented? Spend fi...

Sunday, 30 March 2014. What problem are we trying to solve? What problem are we trying to solve? Young people and immigrants (who typically don’t vote) are very active in activities that we would consider to be reflections of engagement- participation in community groups, volunteering, social media, We Day ect. yet they remain hesitant to engage in the formal processes and roles in democracy. So what is going on? Sunday, 16 March 2014. Doing nothing and enjoying it! There is an irony that everyone wants ...

Saturday, 15 August 2015. Helping your teen get on their career track. I can remember trying to find my first job. I had no idea what to do or how to do it. Looking back now I wish I had kept better track of all my experiences starting at a much younger age. Even now I find it challenging to remember to keep track of my accomplishments month to month. We know that the habits formed in our youth carry over into adulthood. 1 Paper based bound notebook with templates. 3 An App used on a cell phone. An HR Pr...

Saturday, 7 September 2013. Creating positive energy around a decision. Pick at least two things from this list to help you celebrate a decision you have made. Go out to dinner with friends to talk about your plans. Post an announcement on a social media site you use- Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. Journal about how you are feeling and what you hope to accomplish. Form a group of likeminded people who are implementing their decisions so you can build off their energy. Create a blog to share your progress.

Saturday, 1 February 2014. Are you READY to communicate via email? Recently an anti-bullying campaign has come up with an acronym to help student decide if what they are about to say it needs to be said. This acronym is T.H.I.N.K. Is what you are about to say True, Helpful, Important, Necessary, Kind? In the workplace this makes sense for the conversations held around the water cooler- but we need something more robust when it comes to corporate emails. When writing you should always have the reader in m...

Thursday, 27 December 2012. As we move into a New Year many people make resolutions to change, most will fail. We know from numerous studies in both psychology and health care that other people can be key in helping you effect the change you want. Unfortunately this type of behaviour is pretty common. So why would a friend, parent, sibling, partner not. Want you to change for the. Well they do but they are stuck in the win/lose mentality that. Thus setting up a win/lose situation for them. Thing on their...
