Taking in. Giving back.

When we breathe, we breathe in and breathe out. If we choose only one or the other, the results are disastrous. The same principle applies to professional growth and development. Whether we are programmers, statisticians, teachers, students, or writers, we benefit from taking in and giving back. We "take in"

Celebrating Mother Earth

I love to walk.  It takes just a couple of minutes and I am completely immersed in all the beauty that nature has to offer.  Here in North Carolina we’re currently enjoying the flowering magnolia and cherry trees, the last of the daffodils, tulips that began to open just a

Working on my moves

As I write this we are halfway through teaching our first Powerful Tools for Caregiving class.  It has been an exciting time of learning and growth for all of us.  Each time I work with caregivers, I am reminded of a common theme – the delicate dance of trying to

Our Second Brain

Have you ever experienced that “gut feeling” ….you know the one that’s trying to tell you something and you don’t know why?  I remember having a feeling I couldn’t quite explain fifteen years ago. There was a job opportunity in Canada.  As a way to entice moving there, I was provided

I remember going to a workshop about grief a few years back. At one point, the speaker talked about various types of support grieving folks need after the typical mourning rituals have receded and life continues on. He asked the workshop participants to pull out a sheet of paper and

Attractiveness and Self-investment

Next week I am offering a lunch-and-learn called "Successfully Single: In and out of relationships", but I think I should have titled it "Attractiveness and Self-investment".  I am not sure how many people want to be "successfully single", particularly this month when our collective attention is focused on love and

Love Languages Revisited

Sometimes we social worker types in Work/Life forget that other people don't use phrases like "love languages" with the same ease that the typical SAS employee might talk about "data-driven customer experience."  In Work/Life we are kicking off a February series on relationships, so I wanted to take a moment to tell

Am I a Caregiver?

We are excited to announce a new Work/Life class offering: “Powerful Tools for Caregivers”. You might be thinking “This sounds great, but I’m not sure if it really applies to me – I’m not really a caregiver, I just do ……………. for (my wife, my husband, my mom, my dad, etc)

New Year Intentions

Happy New Year from your Work/Life Team! Lisa here.  I don’t really do “resolutions” in January, but I have set an “intention” before and loved the way I was able to focus my thoughts and behaviors around it.  Part of why an intention works better than resolutions for me is
