Navigating through conflict this holiday season
Let’s face it, the holidays bring out the best and worst in people. Whether it’s that distant cousin you have to tolerate at the holiday dinner, or the co-worker who tells the same annoying jokes every year at the office party, we are likely to encounter some type of conflict this time of year. Joyce Weiss is an expert in the conflict resolution business, and coaches individuals and companies through the process of healthy communications and interactions. Read on to learn Joyce’s tips for healthy interactions this holiday season.
Which comes first, action or inspiration?
There are times when I am inspired by my actions, and other times when I am first inspired and then take action. I think we all need a healthy mix of action and inspiration in order to accomplish anything worthwhile. If we simply oooh and ahhh, but never do anything with what inspires us, the inspiration will eventually fade and be forgotten. Yet if we are constantly on the go trying to accomplish much, but never reflecting on what we’ve accomplished, or taking time out to rest, we’ll miss out on the opportunity to be inspired. Albert Einstein said, “imagination is more important than knowledge. Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”
