HTL 069: Speak and Be Heard; Effective communication in the workplace and beyond, with Karen Brown Tyson

Podcast

How well do you communicate with others? Are you able to define what you want and express that clearly? Or do you throw out some words and hope the other person interprets them as you meant? I am going to say that the root of a lot of problems, discord, drama, confusion, etc is poor communication. Effective communication is a life skill. To master this skill you must learn to put intention into it, remove emotion from it, and know what outcome you ultimately want. And you must learn to listen as well. It is not just a skill, it is an art, and there are tools and techniques you can use to help you become better at this. Today you will be hearing from Karen Brown Tyson who is a PR…

HTL 067: Create a Positive Bond with your Child Through Sports, with Gustavo Netto

Podcast

Some of you are parents or want to be parents, and you want to be the best parent you can be. I have talked about parenthood before and ways to be a better parent and connect better with your child. One of those ways is through sports. As with all aspects of parenting, interacting with your child through sports is most beneficial and joyful when it is approached with intention and purpose, and respect for your child and everyone involved. I have seen people who don’t think about that. This is the parent who sort of commandeers the sport and it becomes more about the parent than the child. As a result, this lack of awareness can cause a rift in the parent-child relationship. But with a little direction and…

If you have a small business, if you are a freelancer or solopreneur, that is fantastic!Being your own boss is the best. It’s the dream, right?

HTL 064: OMG..I Am Tired; a talk about avoiding burnout.

Podcast

Today I want to discuss the importance of slowing down before you run yourself into the ground. I admit it. I have been running pretty hard for the last couple of months and it has finally caught up with me. It used to be worse. I have run myself into the ground more than once. It wasn’t fun. Rather than recognize my body and mind's cry for help, I was forced to stop. Admitting that you are tired can be a big challenge for many. It always was for me. But I am learning and changing now. At least now, I can slow it down before it takes me down. Better late than never, right? What about you? Can you relate to this? I think this is a topic that resonates with…
