Practicing Yoga – Allows me to reconnect with my Inner calm, Focus, Balance & Resilience Against Chaos and Stress!

Maybe I’ve mastered thriving in and rising above chaos because my childhood could be described in that very same one word – chaos. I also believe that mastering my childhood chaos has made me very effective in my HR role, especially in employee relations and keeping my calm and focus in some very intense situations in the workplace. So let me share how I’m allowing for flexibility and continue to build my resilience, so chaos doesn’t get the best of me!

How I’m Allowing for Flexibility in My Life and Thriving Beyond the Uncontrollable/Chaos:

Getting at least 6 hours of sleep. I function really well on this amount, but sometimes need more and can occasionally function fine with less, but these days I try not to make this a regular habit, if [Continue Reading...]

Blog - Living a Healthy Lifestyle Inside Out

Listen up; it’s not just about exercising. So I’m going to let you in on one my biggest secrets on how I live a healthy lifestyle inside out. I’m known as the “Fiber Queen” with my friends, family, and coworkers. Literally, everyone knows this and will ask me for tips and advice on how to incorporate more fiber into their diets, and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It may come as a surprise to people, when they realize that I tend to have in moderation, some sweets everyday. Love Dark Chocolate Edamames, Red Velvet cupcakes, Rainbow cookies/cake, and Ralph’s Ices!

However, I wasn’t always known as the “Fiber Queen”. This all came about back when I was a senior in college. In Respect & Honor Your Inner-Neurotic Quirky Self, previous blog [Continue Reading...]

Just thinking about all the catch up I need to do can stress me out. Ever feel like this? Seriously, between finishing up work initiatives, social gatherings/events, writing projects, my book proposal, it can all get a little overwhelming.

Thinking about work, there have been times for me when I never thought I would ever catch up with Employee Relations notes. To elaborate further, Employee Relations is simply described as an issue in the workplace related to an employee, whether it is just that employee, between several employees, or even a more serious complaint made against another employee/management or the company.

When people ask me what do I do in my HR role, I typically respond that I manage every aspect of HR for the facility I support, which includes hiring, firing, [Continue Reading...]

Blog - How to find your dream job-Interviewing v2

On last Thursday, February 9, 2012, I attended my first school advisory board event at Half Hollow Hills High School, where I facilitated roundtable discussions on Job interviewing. So thrilled I had the opportunity to interact with the students and to teach them about real expectations in the corporate world along with how to prepare for the job interview. Really noticeable was the enthusiasm and eagerness to learn that was exhibited from these business class students who attended this smaller more interactive event.

To begin with, the corporate world is so different than academia/college. Definitely keep your sense of wanting to make an impact within a company and to create change. However, recognize that it will probably take time maybe even a few years before you may be able to move [Continue Reading...]
