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...]

Once we master the lesson of Learning from Failure, we can persevere and come back stronger, more tolerant and disciplined, more successful, more flexible, more willing to take risks and be open-minded, and happier as a result of these experiences!! So how exactly do we get to this place?? First, it’s important to understand the difference between a Perfectionist and an Optimalist, so you can adjust your strategy in life to get more out of it and embrace life’s lessons.

As described by Tal Ben-Shahar PhD, author of The Pursuit of Perfect, How to Stop Chasing Perfection and Start Living a Richer, Happier Life, a Perfectionist is one who tends to focus on the outcome with goals that may be overly ambitious and unobtainable, is afraid of failure, less of a [Continue Reading...]

Blog - With a Leap of Faith ..

As I had previously shared as a Tweet/Facebook update and blog post, I’m making this year, the year that I take more risks and work more on releasing my fears, doubts, self-limiting beliefs, and blocks to true happiness. No more holding back!

Facing my fears and committing to a goal I never thought I could accomplish, and actually crossing that finish line in the Hamptons Half Marathon last September 2011, has empowered me to keep facing my fears in life. So where does this lead me? Well, I’m on my way training for my second Half Marathon with the Allstate Life InsuranceSM 13.1 Marathon® Series in Chicago! Because it’s the journey of training and the race itself that takes me further in life. Spring training started when I returned from my SE Asia [Continue Reading...]

Release what no longer serves you well. Release your fears, doubts, self-limiting beliefs, and blocks to true happiness. Practice this everyday.

It’s about learning how to get out of your own way. Here’s another confession – this is my current biggest struggle. I have to keep reassuring myself that I’m on the right path and not to be concerned with everyone else’s thoughts or judgments. I need to tame my inner critic that wants to self sabotage and quit on me.

How does someone work on this? Well, my approach is to keep facing those fears, doubts, self-limiting beliefs and blocks to true happiness. Most importantly, I remind myself of what I have already accomplished, how I have already stepped outside my element/comfort zone and continue to do so, how I [Continue Reading...]

Reflecting back on my SE Asia trip and what I’ve learned. I’ll miss you SE Asia – you have changed my life!! Thank-you for the opportunity, sharing your breathtaking natural wonders, a different perspective of life, culture and people with me!

SE Asia was definitely a very memorable and adventurous trip. Beyond happy that I decided to take this particular GAdventures Bangkok to Hanoi group tour, at this time in my life! I was able to truly interact with the natives and see how they live in the Hilltop Villages, the country, and in the city. Let me tell you that I didn’t miss the gym at all on this trip and I was able to have new experiences in the outdoors including rock-climbing up a waterfall, mountain bike riding, trekking through the [Continue Reading...]

PRAISE

I cannot thank you enough for all that you did! Thank you for your advice throughout the process. The article, Are you Obsessing Over or Manifesting What you Desire, truly inspired me and was very personally relevant to my situation. Great advice and kept me focused on the right energy without obsessing and led to the desired outcome! I was truly not attached to the outcome, just hopeful of it. What less stress and anxiety I felt, as a result. Highly recommend this Manifesting concept!

I just wanted to say I never told you what an amazing woman I thought you were and such a great role model. I know I’m older, but I definitely learned a thing or two from you. It took me some time, but I’m finding my way.

Sarina as a speaker is inspiring and engaging. Her perspective of Learning How to Embrace Change and How she became a Half Marathon Runner left a lasting impression on my High School Students. How to ʺbounce backʺ from some tough obstacles was empowering and insightful on the approach to life. Keep doing what you’re doing! Look forward to having you back as a Class Speaker!

I loved reading this! I read it twice. This is by far one of the best statements I’ve come across…”holding on longer came at a very big expense of taking or challenging my spirit for life, my energy/motivation, my time, my goals/dreams, my focus, and my physical/mental/emotional health!

Candice

Sarina’s intelligent, tactful, yet straight forward demeanor blends well with multiple personalities. As an HR Manager and Life Coach, she has incredible insight as well as great presentation skills. Having had the opportunity to attend a seminar she gave on How to Win Over the Hiring Manager, it was impressive to see how engaged the audience was, and the take away of helpful hints was over the top. Having attended seminars with many of the top ‘name brand’ training companies, I can say that the training received from Sarina was outstanding in its practical, no-nonsense and immediately applicable approach. Sarina was excellent at keeping the whole group involved. The experience was a great investment for all who participated.
