In a recent landmark study reserchers found that American women were far less happy than thirty years ago.

Advances made in the workplace have not made many women anything less than miserable.

1. Take Time To Chew
You may have heard that it’s important to take time to chew your food. Wolfing down your food can lead to indigestion. The same is true for your work life. Take a few extra minutes to chew your decisions.

One of my life coaching clients was on the verge of burnout. She was dashing so fast that that she was on auto pilot. After some exploration we realized that she had taken on the work of three other people in her office…without realizing it.. Pause before you say yes or no this week. You will be glad you did.

Overscheduled Children: Stop The Madness!

Overscheduled and stressed kids are everywhere! Despite many credible reports that show how beneficial free time is good for a child’s development, a crazy amount weekend and after-school activities are the norm for most kids. Why?


Research shows that free, unstructured play such as creating pretend games allows children to explore the world around them and teaches children to express themselves, developing key skills for adulthood such as decision making skills and self-confidence.

Child playtime being scheduled by parents means that children are not encouraged to ‘make up their own games’, such as climbing trees, making mud pies or simply having an imaginary friend.

Anisha Abraham is the Chief of Adolescent Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital says too much pressure can do harm to kids. Abraham told the Washington Post:

"Success is not about getting into the most elite school or college but about becoming a balanced, resilient and happy individual. Creating undue expectations and over scheduling can lead to anxiety and stress related problems in both adolescence and adulthood."

Parents Ask experts New York Times Lisa Belkin and authors Betsy Brown Braun and Eli Davidson discuss the perils of a generation of overscheduled kids and offer up strategies for finding the balance between too much and just enough. Check out the lively discussion over on ParentsAsk.com

Communication Skills To Help Win The Race to the Top

"State agencies were created as compliance agencies, not to be agents of transformative change," said Dane Linn, the education division director of the Washington-based National Governors Association's Center for Best Practices.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan has said he wants innovative proposals that move states beyond the status quo. Unfortunately, state-level officials say capacity issues aren't just about having enough people to do the work. They also worry about having visionary people who can deliver on what Mr. Duncan wants.

As an expert in change management, I am in complete disagreement with Mr. Duncan and state officials. No group has a deeper commitment to quality public education. No group has a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing their students. Historically, School Boards have been tasked with compliance, not innovation. However, members of the Arizona School Board have the necessary qualities to create the transformative change. The key components of innovation are collaboration and communication. School Board Association members working as a team can conceptualize a project that is both innovative and effective. In order to have the best plan it is essential the effective communication skills are in place. Listening is an overlooked communication skill. However, it is one of the most effective skills to utilize in the process of innovation. It is essential to listen to other board members as they craft innovative plans.

This week I will provide you with tips to enhance the effective communication.

5 Minutes To Fab

5 Minutes To Fab

Studies show that women have a harder time hanging up the phone than men. In order to keep calls shorter, I set a 5 minute timer. I let the person know that I have 5 minutes for the call. When the timer goes off I politely let them know that I need to get off the call.

How do you make the most of your day?
