Achieving More Confidence in the Workplace:

In these times of uncertain times, we are dealing with a lot of unknowns. This can create a feeling of unease that can cause us to become stressed, unfocused, and overwhelmed.

What Dr. Parry Can Say in an Interview:
3 Strategies for Work-Life Balance in the “New Normal”: 

Pre-Pandemic the idea of work/life balance was beginning to see a revival with some calling it impossible and others confused by a modern definition. When Covid-19 came and businesses were closed, the work/life balance came front stage again. Parents (some both working) were now dealing with school closures and remodeling their working from home to include homeschooling. Now as the country’s schools and businesses reopened and a “new normal” in Work/Life Balance appeared. With Zoom calls, text messages, and laptops more prevalent than ever, will we all be returning to the old ways of achieving balance?

What Dr. Parry Can Say in an Interview:

Checking the news used to be a one-night affair with one’s favorite nightly newscasters and you were updated. Before TV, it was Radio or Newspaper over morning breakfast. Now we have a 24/7 news cycle that is in our face each day constantly streaming. 

What can we do to stay productive during the media overload each day? Check out some basics with these 5 tips:

1) Save News Updates for Personal Time. Distractions keep us from focusing our time and energy throughout the workday, and news updates are the #1 source of distraction. When you are working in the digital world, news of the election, the pandemic, storms, etc., are constantly bombarding us. They show up in google searches, social media news feeds, commercials on the radio, in water cooler discussions at work. While working, news should be work-focused. If a news alert hits you about the latest on the new stimulus package and that will affect your clients or marketing, that is news you can use that can help them. Avoid the mindless water cooler conversations that don’t stimulate working productivity. Save it for lunchtime or after hours events.

Talking Points from Roger Hall 
on Goals vs. Desires in Job Performance Reviews:

I read a sex therapy book that made the distinction between a desire and a goal.  This mistaken notion can help employers create better job performance reviews. 

  • Goals are different than Desires. A goal is something you want that requires no one else’s cooperation. A desire is something you want that requires the cooperation of at least one other person.
