Work lives and personal lives are blended like they have never been before.  Maintaining effectiveness in all arenas of our lives requires:

• Clarifying the demands of the different parts of your life
• Reviewing values and priorities to align balance and productivity
• Creating boundaries to decrease stress and deliver more
• Being the best leader, partner, employee, parent, teacher, friend,  teammate, child, mentor, spouse, etc.

Employees and teams generally bring their ‘whole-selves’ to work. Hence, expanding their leadership skills in order to connect and motivate their team.  New skills are:

• Empathy and the power of listening
• Sympathy can lead to connection and satisfaction
• Compassion provides support, drives engagement and enhances productivity

Hybrid workplaces require individuals and teams to collaborate in new ways.  With care and planning, collaboration breeds success. It requires:

• Developing commitment and connection to coworkers
• Guidance and alignment in ways to communicate
• Clarification of roles and responsibilities
• Becoming an integrated team, stiving to achieve excellence and maximize productivity

Working from a remote location, sitting on a zoom call, sending emails, or sharing a google-doc; connect work, but don’t connect people.  Building interpersonal glue requires effort, yet has boundless benefits.

• Building connections to enhance satisfaction and productivity
• Growing relationships at work to keep you growing
• Gaining support creates alignment with others
• Interpersonal glue can make you flourish

In the integrated world with multiple and sometimes conflicting demands, physical and mental wellness are essential. Self-care is required to navigate complex worlds. Your oxygen mask requires:

• Reflecting on the complexities of your life
• Appreciating self-care is essential and not selfish
• Learning new strategies of self-care
• Building a personal wellness ‘toolbox”
