In this month’s podcast episode, Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti, podcast co-host Angela Ambrosia shares how miracles have happened in her life and relationships and how she has studied the science of miracles through working on the power of our thoughts and how we talk to the powers that support us and which some people call god, the divine, grace and others may call the universe.

Click to listen to Episode 79 How YOU can get Miracles in your relationships.

For Angela, this is actually the power of our words. How can we control the words we use and send out into the world to transform our way of relating to physical matter, the people around us, and our own consciousness to manifest and allow miracles into our lives?

More recently, Angela has had a miracle of Soma in her life, which is blessed sacred water manifesting in her home altar and also manifesting in special events happening globally. One is happening in her hometown, Sydney, Australia, on Dec 1, 2023, Perth, Australia, Dec 3, 2023, and Melbourne, Australia, Dec 8, 2023.

Angela recovered from an aggressive cancer in 2019 and was struck with a rare autoimmune disease, and she was unable to walk again in 2022; however, now she is fully recovered and teaching again.

How does she explain the miracles that have saved her life and given her renewed life and the ability to live in causeless ease and joy with herself and her relationships?

Angela shares the following:

*Her insight into the possibility of miracles for all of us.

*What is grace to Angela?

*How do we recognize grace in our lives?

*How can people listening can get miracles at home and work?

*What is Soma?

*How is it possible that Soma is manifesting in people’s homes globally now?

*What is a phenomenon? 

*How does believing in Miracles Build Better Relationships?

Exploring Active Listening as a Manager and Supervisor from Chaos to Calm

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this podcast episode, we explore active listening as a manager and supervisor.

Click to listen to Episode 26 – Exploring Active Listening as a Manager and Supervisor from Chaos to Calm.

Hi, Managers and Supervisors

How’s it going?

As a manager and supervisor, sometimes in our work-life moments, we want to be left alone and don’t want to listen to others at work, yet the other person needs to be heard and understood. We may be tired, exhausted, have deadlines, and want to avoid dealing with one more interruption or problem.

Let’s explore active listening techniques as a way of helping to improve leadership skills. As a manager or supervisor, active listening helps build a healthy working relationship with your boss, co-workers, employees, clients, and customers. Becoming deeply aware of and working on the skill of listening may enhance communication with others in the workplace and your personal life. 

Active listening encourages and allows others to speak and convey their wants, objectives, and concerns. Listening and building positive work relationships with employees and others demonstrates engagement and is the core of solid leadership skills.

Active Listening Techniques to Explore:

*Be silent when others are speaking

*Keep an open mind

*Be aware of your body language

*Watch the other person’s body language

*Listen for keywords to understand

*Ask short, direct questions to understand

*Paraphrase what was said and ask if you understood correctly

The intention is to build trust and understanding by listening deeply so your employees open up and discuss their wants, needs, suggestions, and challenges so they can resolve them in the workplace.

What else could you do at work to listen more intently?

How do you feel when people listen to understand?

How does it help the work environment when everyone feels heard?

Practice stopping thinking about what you will say next and be in the moment of listening. You miss connecting with others and learning new things when you are too busy interrupting and expressing your opinion. Active listening is a great way to work on improving relationships. Making these small changes may enhance your relationship with others. Give it a try, and let me know how it went. 

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I am an active listener!

I would love your thoughts on this topic, and if there is a topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. 

If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership and work-life balance coach like me will help you work through those everyday challenges to continue moving forward to where you want to be.

Exploring the Feelings of Working in a Toxic Workplace as a Manager and Supervisor

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Click to listen to the podcast Episode 25 Exploring the Feelings of Working in a Toxic Workplace as a Manager and Supervisor

Hi,

Managers and Supervisors

How’s it going?

In this podcast episode, we will explore the feelings of working in a toxic workplace as a manager and supervisor. 

Are we responsible for other’s attitudes and responses toward us and others? 

It depends on how we treat people and ourselves. If we are abrupt, condescending, and demanding, we may be responsible for how people respond and react to that behavior towards them. How do you feel or respond to a boss, co-worker, peers, and others in the workplace or outside of work who are rude, unkind, or harsh in their tone with you?

What are the effects of working in a toxic environment?

I know how I felt. I didn’t like the person I was becoming, working in a hostile and toxic environment. I lost my compassion, empathy, joy, and excitement and was untrusting and sometimes judgmental towards others. The untrusting thoughts of thinking people had an unsavory agenda, feeling unsafe, bulldozing me, watching the Sh*t Storm every day around me, and trying to cope with the emotions of dealing with the daily grind and having to fake it to get by. 

Daily, I felt like I was giving away my power and values or losing kindness and happiness through people’s interactions and nasty behaviors, which had nothing to do with me. Still, I was feeling responsible for the unhappiness around me. Being highly sensitive can be a blessing and a curse in the workplace and home. Is it my stuff, or is it others? The trick is identifying whose crap it is. Letting go and not holding on to it or overthinking all of it. It’s not about me; I needed to remind myself that it’s not my responsibility for other people’s BS.

Empathy without boundaries doesn’t work and can be self-destructive and disruptive to the workplace. 

When I became a supervisor, I wanted to help people and make a positive difference in my employee’s lives. As managers and supervisors, we coach, teach, and mentor the others around us, but they have the choice of how they show up, respond, and behave. When out of balance, we project on the people around us. Taking time away is good for us to regroup, refocus, and destress when we feel we have lost empathy and compassion. 

Are our actions contributing to a positive, negative, or neutral outcome in the workplace environment energy? 

What are the results of working in a cohesive, collaborative, supportive environment?

When we realize how we show up daily in our workplace as someone who wants to make a positive difference in other people’s lives, the work environment becomes productive, enjoyable, and cohesive, and the atmosphere changes for the better. 

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I choose to let go of what I can’t control!

I would love your thoughts on this topic, and if there is a topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. 

If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership coach like me will help you work through those everyday challenges to continue moving forward to where you want to be.

Exploring Reversing Rude Behavior in Meetings from Chaos to Calm

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this podcast episode we explore reversing rude behaviors in meetings.

Click to listen Episode 24 – Exploring Reversing Rude Behavior in Meetings from Chaos to Calm

Have you ever been in a meeting where at least one person or all attendees have nothing positive to say about anything?

As Managers or Supervisors, having efficient and effective meetings is crucial to running a successful business. Group meetings that aren’t productive waste valuable time and cost the company money.

Let’s explore what may be considered rude behaviors in meetings.

  • Interrupting the person speaking
  • Not listening, acting bored, or lack of engagement
  • Being disrespectful to the speaker
  • Two people are talking privately among themselves while someone else is speaking
  • People are just plain hostile to each other
  • Arguing over whose point is right
  • Overtalking each other
  • Sarcastic mean comments to the speaker or each other
  • Being very judgmental of each other
  • Participants take everything that is said very personally due to the hostile interaction
  • Embarrassing the host or leader with malicious remarks

I have been in group meetings where all of these actions have happened, been the target, and participated in some disrespectful behaviors. I am not proud of how I acted; I was discourteous and unprofessional sometimes, but it was acceptable to voice your opinion. Was this behavior a way to conquer and get what was needed? Not really. Did anything get resolved? Most of the time, nothing got accomplished.

What happened to common courtesy, collaboration, and respectfulness towards each other?

How can we change the behavior in meetings? 

It takes one person at a time, starting with Managers and Supervisors, to lead by example and reverse this unprofessional behavior.

Here are some tips:

  • Set up rules of conduct for the meeting(s). Go over them at the beginning of each session as a reminder. Have the code of conduct on the agenda template. As time passes with the same group of attendees, the code of conduct will only need addressing if a new person attends the meeting and reads the code of conduct at the beginning.
  • When someone says something negative, turn to them and say something positive about the topic or person.
  • When someone intentionally breaks meeting etiquette, politely remind them or refer to the code of conduct.
  • As the manager or supervisor, focus on following the code of conduct, leading by example, and positive meeting etiquette will become achievable by all participants.
  • Redirect the “off-topic” discussions for later.

A set code of conduct and behavior etiquette is essential to successful meetings. Being courteous and respectful allows everyone to speak, be heard, participate, and engage, which is when great results will happen. Be organized and prepared. As Managers and Supervisors, we lead by example; if we are focused and engaged, our employees will be too.

Today’s podcast Affirmation

I conduct productive meetings! 

I would love to hear your thoughts as a manager or supervisor on meetings.

If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership coach like me will help you work through those everyday challenges to continue moving forward to where you want to be.

Q&A 1 Bonus Podcast Episode Exploring Life and Work with Patti

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

Hi, Managers and Supervisors
How’s it going?

In this bonus Question and Answer podcast episode, I wanted to answer these questions a listener asked me.

Click to listen to podcast episode.

Why do you ask questions and sometimes not give tips or solutions to the discussed topics?

This podcast is for Managers and Supervisors to self-reflect and explore within themselves on topics I discuss and to come up with solutions they already know the answer to and for self-awareness of themselves as leaders and become better people at work and home. 

Why are the podcast episodes 5 -6 minutes?

The podcast episodes are 5 – 6 minutes because the audience I serve works longer hours and only has a few moments to listen. 

As a leadership and work-life balance coach, I am committed to helping managers, supervisors, and others become better leaders and live a more purposeful, balanced life outside of work. I do this for the listeners to explore themselves, situations, and topics that happen as a Manager and Supervisor that they may not be able to discuss with others or how they behave can affect their teams and family.

I talk about topics people are scared to discuss but want help with. Years ago, it was acceptable, but it is not now. I’ve had listeners comment that when they have listened to some of the topics I discussed, they lived it, and that is why they left the corporate environment and went out on their own. 

Thank you for the questions and for letting me clarify the format of these podcast episodes and why coaching helps others open up awareness and discussion of complex topics.  

Until next time when we meet again!
