Episode 27 – What! Why Sensitivity Training and Coaching? – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this episode, Angela and Patti discuss sensitivity towards others in the workplace and daily life.

Listen to this podcast by clicking the link: Episode 27 – What! Why Sensitivity Training and Coaching?

How did this topic come about?

We were talking about a blog post Patti wrote called “What! Sensitivity Training?” 

(Patti) The idea came from watching the movie “Sensitivity Training”.  It caught my eye because it was about a life/business coach and her reluctant client.

Questions for the Listeners:

  • Do you want an insensitive society?
  • Are you happy being complacent when people are being ignored, hurt, or mistreated?

(Angela) Gentle movement has shown me that softness allows the compassionate part of us to expand, and that compassion is mostly (if not always) more often with yourself, after compassion with yourself, comes discovery, awe and other awarenesses about the gift of your body, the gift of life, the gift of breathing, the beauty of so much if you want to know more check out https://dancewithangelahealing.as.me/ and sign up for the newsletter; https://bit.ly/3fI6EpQ

(Patti)

Reflect – Does it need to be said?

Will they listen to the feedback and take it to heart or will it cause more conflict and damage to the relationship? 

Do I need to end this relationship for my mental health? 

Sometimes, you can’t totally end the relationship, but you can distance yourself and set boundaries. I try to remember that each person we interact with may be faced with some hard life challenges that are not discussed, and some are hurting so deeply with emotional wounds that have not been addressed and healed.

Sometimes throughout our lives and careers, we may say something offensive to someone and not even realize it. It was unintentional; however, we learn from those mistakes and continue to grow as a person, coworker, parent, child, sibling, spouse, manager, supervisor, and leader. Apologize when you should. Take time to listen, observe, and be open to other people’s points of view. Be coachable. Take personal development courses and read books.  Hire a coach to help you get through any challenges you are facing.  Learn from your daily interactions and reflect on how to improve next time.

Episode 24 – Building Better Relationships with Social Media! – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this podcast, Episode 24, Building Better Relationships with Social Media, Angela and Patti discuss the hot topic of social media and how it can affect relationships.

To listen to the full podcast, click below: – Episode 24 – Building Better Relationships with Social Media!

We are concerned about how social media can cause hurt feelings, depression, addiction to social media, and comparison.

Here are some reflection questions:

❤️ What makes people feel it’s okay to post things they would most likely never say face to face or outside social media?  

❤️ Where does this boldness or insensitivity come from?  

❤️ Is proving your point worth all the drama and losing friendships over?

Today, we would like to explore how to manage some of those problematic behaviors.

❤️ How do we healthily relate to social media?

❤️ Are you taking a break from social media because it is “too toxic?”

What do you find frustrating about social media? What makes it so toxic to you? We would love to hear from listeners who could share what they find disappointing about social media. Why not leave us a comment?

Question to the Listeners: ❤️ What are some things you ENJOY seeing on social media? Share in a comment and let us know.

Angela:  I love healing meditations, and I share those because I love them.

Patti: I love seeing photos of families having fun together, vacation photos, travel adventures, and cute positive memes.

In a previous podcast (Episode 4), we discussed going beyond comparison and Accepting Oneself. “Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive.

Cancel culture is generally discussed as being performed on social media in the form of group shaming.” https://www.dictionary.com/e/pop-culture/cancel-culture

Patti wrote a blog post similar to this subject called Don’t Be That Guy!   It is about shaming someone or making them the poster child in the workplace. When someone has committed bad behavior or done something procedurally wrong, some organizations use the term “Don’t be that (Guy) Person” for humiliation or as an example of what not to do. I feel this is similar to the cancel culture. In the blog post is a poll.  With this question – Is shaming an effective management strategy?

Angela will be holding gentle movement classes in September. To be informed, SIGN UP TO HEAR ABOUT CLASSES in the link in the show notes. For me, dance and movement are an authentic way to connect to myself and others. https://bit.ly/3fI6EpQ

Episode 22 – Working at Home with Family and Establishing a Flow! – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti Podcast

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In this Episode, Angela discusses how to set boundaries of time and space with the family. Click below to listen to Episode 22: Working at Home with Family and Establishing a Flow!

Patti discusses establishing a work schedule to help you get into a flow and get things done; working from home can be challenging, especially when the family doesn’t understand your work demands, obligations, or time constraints with deadlines.  

Patti: Established set work hours and communicated them to family and friends. Here are the hours and days I am working this week. Another way to communicate is to post your calendar/diary on the wall/door or give family access to your digital schedule that reflects availability. Another approach is to post a daily or weekly calendar in view (maybe in the kitchen) or text your unavailability for that day to the whole family. There are many creative ways to communicate that you are working and unavailable. Sit down as a family and ask them how they want you to let them know. This way, everyone is part of the decision-making. Do you want a daily text or a do-not-disturb sign on the door?

Angela said, I found the sign official, making it straightforward for others not to knock. In the building I used to live in, we had a lot of traffic going past my front door. People who delivered parcels would knock on the front door, which would be picked up on my calls or recordings. However, the worst thing about knocking on the front door was when I was doing meditation. Sounds and knocks during meditation can be dangerous to your body if you are in deep meditation, and give you a heart attack. That forced me to make a sign to post on my front door, “Please don’t knock. Meditation is in progress; if possible, leave parcels.” The sign also allowed some people in the building to be quiet when passing the front door too (if they read it!) I will use another sign on the door in my office at home to be clear about meditation time or when I’m recording, as people may have no idea what you are doing in the office, and the sign makes people more aware of the noise.

Angela:  When working at home with family these days, looking at your physical workspace is really valuable. Do you have a space that’s appropriate for doing your work? Do your kids have a space that’s appropriate to focus on learning? And space is not just physical like a desk; it includes sound and light. I’ve seen many people being creative with working at the kitchen bench, buying a fold-away desk for the bedroom, and other bits of furniture like a screen or divider to section off spaces in the house or to create workspaces.

Sometimes, you won’t be able to have a quiet workspace, and people are more forgiving in these times if they hear kids and the kitchen in the background, but how does this affect you?

Are there changes you need to make without necessarily spending much money, but perhaps using your house differently?

What could be something that naturally gives you the flow you need to put in your schedule to help you with the changes we are now facing?

For Angela, it’s definitely movement. In the coming months, I will share some of the results of my movement classes, which I plan to share so that more people can discover their own natural rhythm.

We would love to see your answer to the question.

Podcast Episode 19 – Reaching Midlife and Handling Life Changes (Bending Your Knees) – Building Better Relationship at Home and Work with Angela and Patti (Podcast)

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

In podcast Episode 19 – Reaching Midlife and Handling Life Changes (Bending Your Knees), Angela and Patti share about reaching midlife and handling what comes your way. To listen to the full podcast episode, click below:

Angela, tell us a little about the podcast title, and Bending Your Knees?  

We thought about this topic a while back, but I thought about it when I had trouble bending my knees after surgery.  It was a shock after being flexible most of my life; I couldn’t bend my knees easily. Everything about surgery was a shock, but also in recovery, I experienced a lot of feelings, not being able to be like I used to be, and there was fear about the future and uncertainty about who I was going to become now.  

Midlife is a critical time to look at your life and see what you cannot do. Not so that you pine about “being old” or look at the past as something that you’ve lost – although you may have a period of grieving.  

After or during grieving, it’s important and valuable to take stock and reflect on the results of your life thus far.  

How do you feel about your life?  

Reflecting on your life constructively will help get you out of the cycle of thinking and feeling that you have lost something or that your life has amounted to nothing. And will help you start to see –

❤️ What is your life about?

What was the purpose of all that running around, learning, working, not working, having kids, being sick, being healthy – etc. –

❤️ What was it all for?  Bending the knee reflects flexibility and humility. In my case, I had setbacks, such as getting a little better, only to get sick or weak again. That taught me to do things differently to meet my needs and energy better.  Mid-life is a great time to realize, there is only so much you can do – so how can you do it better, with less energy, and less ego about how you look, how young you are – it’s also a time to measure what success for you is? Is success about how much money you have? Or is it how happy you are?  

Patti tells us about what you found that stops people from embracing the possibility of change in mid-life.  

I have spoken to many people who feel they are stuck in a dead-end job. When Sunday comes around, they dread thinking about going to work the next morning. On Monday mornings, they hit the snooze button multiple times and force themselves out of bed. On the way to work, they push themselves with positive affirmations or the opposite with “I hate my job” self-talk.  

🦋  Do you feel like you could do your job in your sleep?  

🦋  Are there no advancement opportunities where you work?  

🦋  Do you feel hateful and resentful when you walk through your workplace?  

🦋  Do you get any acknowledgment for a job well done?  

🦋  Am I learning any new aspects of my position?  

🦋  Are my job duties challenging to me?  

🦋  Do I enjoy going to work every day?  

🦋  Am I motivated and striving to increase my productivity level?  

🦋  Do I feel I am making a difference?  

🦋  Are my coworkers positive at work?  

🦋  Am I positive at work?  

You may feel stuck in a dead-end job if you answered no to these questions.  

What are some options to improve the career situation?  

Use daily affirmations to get you through the day. Patti created some work-life balance affirmation cards. These cards are good to use for any day-in and day-out work or home situations.   

Work-Life Balance Affirmations Cards

❤️ What do you want our world to be?  

Answer this question on the Facebook group page for Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti: What are the things, experiences, and joys that you really, really would like to experience?

Angela and I would like to thank you for following our podcast!

Episode 16 – How to Get Along With Your Teenager! – Building Better Relationships at Home and Work with Angela and Patti Podcast

Posted on by Coaching for Inspiration with Patti

This topic came from a listener request, How to Get Along With Your Teenager! Click on the link below to listen to the full podcast:

Patti started by asking the audience these questions.

Reflecting on when you were a teenager.  I know it was different back then, but we still want the same things. Right?

What did you want from your parents?  

Understanding, Someone to Listen, Unconditional Love, Be Supported to Pursue What You Want.

What was it?

Your teenager probably wants the same.  

Angela talks about being a parent: You love them, but you don’t like their behavior, and there’s a consequence for the behavior. Follow through and don’t bend. You’re showing accountability, and your actions will speak volumes. Think kind thoughts—don’t see teens as a disappointment or failure. Your thoughts get picked up by your loved ones. Have a conversation with them about boundaries when they tick you off.

What are some deals you can negotiate with them?

Tips from the book Crucial Conversations:

1.  Start with the heart.

2. Ask – What do you want for the relationship?

3. Ask – What do you want for the teen?

4. What do you want for yourself?

5. What is the most outstanding possible outcome for the relationship?

How can you communicate this to the teen coming from the heart?

Come up with boundaries and consequences if boundaries are not met.

Making deals with teens gives them opportunities to be responsible and learn what happens when they are not.

What do you think could be some of the troubles that teens are experiencing these days, which may be similar to and different from what we went through?

1. Internet Addiction and Online Gaming Addiction.

2. Cyberbullying and In-Person Bullying

3. Suicide – For more information about suicide prevention, check out the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline website or (1-800-273-8255) and Reachout https://au.reachout.com for youth and parents, it is free advice in Australia, and Lifeline https://www.lifeline.org.au
