Spring is a great time of year to take stock of our lives. With more sunshine and warmer weather we often have more energy and we are ready to tackle some outstanding goals or formulate new ones. Goal setting is not an inborn skill, but rather one that requires practice and development in order to maximize our chance of succeeding.
When someone who we are close to experiences the loss of a loved one, it can be difficult to know what to say or how to help. Often people may not say anything at all, fearful that they will say the wrong thing, or they may try to cheer the person up or offer advice on how to cope. Sometimes we resort to clichéd responses, such as “Time heals all wounds.”
Have you ever had difficulties communicating with co-workers, or felt that your message was not getting across in the workplace? If we have difficulties communicating with others we may lose out on the opportunity to develop strong working relationships with our colleagues and experience a sense of job satisfaction.
