Juggling multiple tasks at once might seem like the key to getting more done in less time, but research tells a different story. The truth is, multitasking can reduce your productivity, increase your stress levels, and [...]

September 2024 – Cultivating Positive Office Politics

It’s that time again. The time of year when commercials extol the values of their political candidate and the negative of those they are running against.

Are We Addicted to Stress?

Are We Addicted to Stress? For many, pending deadlines and packed schedules are not overwhelming, but instead can be a driving force that pushes them toward greater productivity.  We have processes to streamline, goals to achieve, promotions to earn, debt to eliminate, exercise regimes to master, dreams to chase, and people to help and inspire.
