5 Truths to hold in your bones

This quote resonates with me…every time I read these words; I breathe them in…hoping to hold them inside so I can remember them.

I have become aware that I miss communicating through the sense of touch.

Missing that physical connection to say without words that I am here with you, I love you or we will get through this. I miss feeling the bones of another through a nice deep hug or holding hands. I can gaze into another’s eyes; however, I am missing that next step to deepen the connection. Sometimes this makes communicating with someone even harder. Reading this quote reminds me to get back into my own bones…I CAN give myself a hug, rubbing my arms down through my fingertips…feeling my feet touching the floor…grounding me and getting back into my body…knowing in my bones I am loved, I can do this, I can find new ways to connect and find joy in the little moments and feel gratitude for what is.

What You Say and How You Say It!

Whether you are working with challenging individuals, in customer service or caregiving, communication is far more listening than talking.

In this interactive workshop, you will practice effective communication skills that can help you in your personal and professional interactions with people.

Improving Your Awareness: Incorporating mindfulness as a leadership practice

This intro session focuses on what mindfulness is (and is not), as well as the ‘whys’ and the ‘how’s’ of practicing mindfulness.  It can improve health, productivity, and job satisfaction. In the 6-week training, participants learn the fundamentals of mindfulness, ways to develop emotional intelligence, resilience, and mindful communication skills. This program engages participants in a range of practical activities to create and incorporate mindfulness practices into their lives, such as meditation, focus activities, and movement. Research shows that the benefits of practicing mindfulness can allow for a greater attention span and more engagement; increased ability to focus on the job; improved health, safety,  productivity, and job satisfaction.

Improving Your Awareness and Focus Through Mindful Practice:

According to a recent study, people who practice mindfulness are more productive, safe, and resilient, and have a more positive outlook on life than those who do not practice (Elder 2014). The practice of increasing our focus and awareness can be utilized daily to decrease stress, prevent injury, increase awareness, improve performance, and reduce distractions. This training on being mindful can have a direct, positive impact on your overall health, and sense of well-being. Basic to advanced levels of training available.

Stress Less & Manage More

Stress can take a toll on us all, especially in uncertain times. It is easy to forget that our own self-care is essential to our wellbeing. If we are depleting ourselves, then we ultimately have less energy to give to our work, or to offer someone else. Over time, we can develop stress overload called “compassion fatigue,” which is a set of symptoms that can affect our health, emotions, thoughts, relationships, behaviors, and even how we feel about the world. Learn and practice useful tools that help give you a sense of control, while also allowing you to identify and let go of what is beyond your control. Available as a single workshop or series for groups or individuals.
