NY Times - Career Couch When Stress Flirts With Burnout

The blog/s will be moving to betterthinkagain.com soon but didn't want to let this one go by. Excellent article by Eilene Zimmerman in tomorrow's NY Times Career Couch column - and look for my comments as Rebecca Weingarten.

Career Couch
When Stress Flirts With Burnout

By EILENE ZIMMERMAN
Published: January 16, 2010

Q. You are a professional who is accustomed to stress, but all the uncertainty and anxiety in the workplace these days is putting you under more pressure than usual. You feel burned out — are you?

See you all soon on "Better Think Again" betterthinkagain.com soon (play on words intended)

Where are the (new) blogs?

Hey all,

It's been great hearing from you on Twitter/Facebook/email/phone and, of course, in person. We're revamping the blogs so you'll be able to access them all from one spot.

So, if you're making a career or other kind of transition and dealing with some coaching4kids issues at the same time- well, you won't have to travel very far. I mean, nowadays, an extra click can feel 'so close yet so far'.

We'll also be adding one more - that's the one where I say what I really think about lots and lots of career, transition and education/learning issues. So many of you have been asking to hear it like it is - I have no choice but to tell it like it is.

We're hoping for an early 2010 launch. Until then, keep the Tweets/FB messages, emails, phone calls and personal meetings coming. We appreciate you and feel so lucky to have all of you in our lives.

Happy Holidays and remember to -
Enjoy the day your way,
Rebecca Kiki

Hope the summer was summer-ish! For many, the summer was a difficult one with the economic realities changing so many things. We've received many inquiries from people beginning new careers as well as those who are faced with the prospect of beginning a second career that they may or may not have planned on.

To focus on the specific needs of those who are STARTING SECOND CAREERS we've developed an exciting, short-term coaching module which we call SHIFT.

SHIFT COACHING FOR STARTING A SECOND CAREER will get you focused, ready, and armed with new strategies and ways of approaching your second/new career.

The SHIFT COACHING FOR SECOND CAREERS is designed as a 5 session coaching system which can be completed in one month, 2 weeks or 1 week.

3rd National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day Coming Up Soon

3rd National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day Coming Up Soon
Hi All,

September arrives and with it 9/11 and all our memories of that day, the people we lost, our beloved Twin Towers, the NYC skyline, the way our world, and our perceptions of the world, changed.

We mourn and remember on 9/11 but what about the day after? What about the people who survived? What about the first-responders and everyone who experienced the day that changed everything? What about the people who suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of the trauma they experienced?

On 9/12 we commemorate those people, we raise awareness of PTSD and we encourage all around the nation to do the same.

The commemorations began in NY and in the years since has expanded to places all around the country. Seminars, information dissemination, support groups and workshops as well as education about PTSD is only part of what we do to raise awareness of PTSD.

This year, after meetings and many discussions we've decided to include PTSD awareness in many of the situational events and circumstances that can cause PTSD. We will continue to commemorate PTSD Awareness Day on 9/12 (September 12th) as well as continue the educational and awareness opportunities and events throughout the week of 9//12 - 9/19.

For more information please email us at 411@dlcecc.com.
Wishing everyone a healthy September,

New Year's Resolutions You Can Keep - Easy As ABC

Hi - I get requests every January to repost this article I wrote about keeping New Year's Resolutions. Here it is! Enjoy!

New Year's Resolutions - Easy as ABC

New Year's Resolutions. They seem so easy to decide on and so difficult to carry out and achieve. Can they be as easy as ABC? Or 123? I think they can. Having begun my career teaching ABCs and 123s I know that the most effective way to learn something new is often the simplest way. With that in mind I created a system for my clients to help them set and achieve New Year's Resolutions that's as easy as - ABC and 123. I call it the 5Ws.

Think back to when you were learning how to read and add for the first time. You take for granted now the ease with which you read and comprehend but back then? Every new letter was difficult if not complicated. New sounds made by new vowels got the whole thing mixed up in your head. Oy. Or would that be oi? And what's all this about a 1 and a 5 being 15, isn't it 6?

Life seems to get more complicated as we get older and wiser. Once you get used to doing things a certain way it can feel unbearable to change. Making the changes in the simplest way possible is often the best ways to shift, change and move forward.

How about going back to the basics, and the strategies that worked when you were learning the basics? Step by step. Patience. Persistence. Pride in a job well done. Retracing your steps to find out what went wrong when you slip up. Breaking down complicated jobs into easy manageable tasks. Doing your homework. Rehearsing for the performance and often taking one step backward for every two steps forward.

The 5W System - As easy as ABC and 1,2,3

Supplies:
Journal supplies - a notebook and pen/pencil or computer.
New Year's Resolutions supplies - Your wishes, goals, hopes and dreams.
Strategy supplies - Your strengths and limitations.

As you answer the 5W questions below, jot them down in a journal you’ll be starting especially for this. Keeping a journal can often help in answering the 5Ws and helping you keep your resolutions.

The journal will give you a starting point aside from January 1st to refer to. A week or a month from now you can see how much progress you've made and decide if you’re happy with your progress, or lack thereof. You can continue from there. You can modify your tactics and start differently. Or you can start again using different techniques that fit your lifestyle better.

The 5Ws? Simple. Who, What, Where, When and Why.

* Who are you today and who would you like to be a year from now?
* Why do you want to make the change? Emphasis on YOU*.
* What changes in behavior and shifts in attitude will you need in order to make the changes and achieve your goal?
* Where can you get support to help you make the change? People, books, websites, journals etc.
* When is the best time of day/week/year for you to make the change? To evaluate the change? To take action toward achieving the change?


*A couple of tips to help you answer the “Why” for YOU.

OK, you've decided you want to make a change. Think about the change you've decided you want to make. You. Yes. Not anyone else who wants a change from you. You. OK. Are we there yet? One more minute. Think about it. It's OK - you can say, "I want to _______". If you need to whisper it that's OK, I can listen very carefully. If you need to write it down and burn it before anyone sees it, that's also OK. If you want to send yourself an email describing it, try that. Whatever works.

Now that you've decided what it is that you'd like to do/be/achieve, what mountain you'd like to climb, what number you'd like to see on the scale or in your bank account, which salutation you'd like to see before or after your name, what new places you'd like to explore or books you'd like to read....there's another step to take before we start planning the How.
Why do you want _________________________?

Find a place and time where you can sit quietly and think and have a real conversation with yourself or with your coach. Explore the reasons. Sure there are the first few surface/off the cuff that come to mind easily. Dig deeper. Keep asking yourself why until you've gotten to the real reason you want to achieve "whatever".

If we were working together I'd keep asking you why, why, why until we got to the real results you were after. So? What's the real reason? What do you really hope will be the result of your resolution?

Once you've figured out the "Why" it's easier to schedule and sort out the rest. You'll know the end result you're trying to achieve. By answering the Who, What, Where and When you'll be able to schedule the small tasks needed to make the change into your schedule.

Why? Why not? Why shouldn't you have the best year you've ever had before? Can you think of one good reason? I didn't think so. So go for it! Out with the old and in with the new.

Happy New Year!
Kiki

Mind- A Crisis of Confidence for Masters of the Universe - NY Times

One good thing to come out of the current economic situation is the thinking about work related psychological and emotional issues that have always been around but not of great interest. Many people prefer to avoid thinking about the issues described by Richard A. Friedman in Mind - A Crisis of Confidence for Masters of the Universe but now it seems that it's touched so many lives that people are talking about it - out loud.

I stress "out loud" because these are issues that I/we've been dealing with for years here at DLC Executive and Career Consulting.
Things happen professionally and it can and often does affect a person's professional identity, emotional state, psychological state, interpersonal relationships, interests, goals and on and on.

It doesn't have to be fatal. The best thing a person can do is to reach out and ask for help as Dr. Friedman describes his patient doing - and as we've seen here. There are people trained to help, wanting to help and available to help but they/we can't help you unless you want it. So the first step is to reach out and get the help. Wherever and however you can. It's not worth getting physically sick over.

One thing though - I don't like the way Dr. Friedman asked if it's a gender based problem. The question is a problem in and of itself. Career identities and issues are not gender specific - to answer his question.

Anyway - you're not alone and you certainly don't have to be. If you're having difficulty dealing with the situation on your own and it's hard to see clearly through the fog and distress - reach out.

Good luck and have a good day,
Rebecca "Kiki"

Starting Over, With a Second Career Goal - NY Times

Terrific article about second careers and a new program at Harvard read it here - Starting Over, With a Second Career Goal of Changing Society. What makes me especially thrilled about all of this is that it's what I've been working on for the last couple of....how long has it been? And I'm really glad that now that there's critical mass with the Boomers starting to do it. Well, as the Boomers go so goes the nation.

As with many things I found myself ahead of the times which is difficult in its own right but so be it. Although I'm not near retirement age and quite frankly don't imagine I'll ever retire - I'll just keep going until the very end - it's something I've given a lot of thought to since I first began working. As early as 21 when I first worked with people who were near retirement or who had retired and I didn't like what I saw. Most floundered, some absolutely fell apart, some became severely depressed, some floundered and then found the next stage in their lives. They were all blindsided by the experience and the psychological as well as social and professional identity shifts that they experienced. One of my great role models is a mentor who is working at 91! She's in her second very successful career and she maintains that her longevity is due to her continued working!

I've been leading trainings, seminars and workshops on Second Career, Transitions and ACT II topics for a while now and I have to say it's some of my most gratifying work.I even mention it when working with college students because the world of work is a very different one for them than for any generation before them. I guess it's a lot like my very first job of teaching young children how to adapt and flourish in a new environment - shcool. I guess this would be teaching Early Second Careers. It's a new beginning - a new way of experiencing the world. I love it. And I'm glad that finally the world is catching up. Whew!

Enjoy the day and think of a positive and wonderful future because it's available to you if you want it - and of course work toward it.

Use the Economic Crisis as a Personal and Professional Opportunity

Hi All

So it feels like it's all bad news all the time. Right? Not necessarily. With challenge comes opportunity and we've been working with all of you to find the silver lining behind the cloud and all the other cliche type metaphors for turning a difficult and ________ (scary, terrifying, debilitating, paralyzing - fill in the blank) situation into new options, beginnings, opportunities and plans for getting through the present and planning for a great future.

If I sound ridiculously optimistic it's an optimism and sureness born of personal and professional experience. I've gone through tough times and career forks-in-the-road and flourished and have been furtunate enough to be able to assist others to do the same. So it may all sound Pollyanna-ish or Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm-ish - both of which I've been called before but it's based on fact and experience. You can get through this successfully.

In answer to your emails and phone calls requesting information about our services here's a short description of some of the services we offer to individuals and companies. From career coaching and counseling for individuals and groups to business services such as once monthly or weekly 'open' days where individuals, executives, project managers and their teams can in complete confidentiality work with one of our coaches to help smooth through their challenging work issues and move forward with their project work.

Motivation and Transition Coaching

Hi All,

No - I couldn't believe the last time I posted here! It's been a crazy time. The economy is causing lots of anxiety, distress and the need for change, new strategies, motivation, morale boosters, new directions, new career and life maps for the new directions and on and on.

We've been swamped here at Daily Life Consulting with clients, workshops, seminars and training programs. So the workbook series has taken a back seat to the immediate needs of clients. Whew!

Keep the emails coming. If you'd like more information or to speak to a coach please call 646.468,0608 or email coach at dailylifeconsulting dot com

Don't panic! Help and support are available. We'll get through this. We'll get through this successfully.

Massive apologies to those of you who've been requesting your "fix". It's been quite hectic as it usually is in September.

You can always call at 646.468.0608!

Ok - so workshops and seminars moving right along. We're adding a new one for October that will focus on managing stress and work and actually flourishing with all the gloomy financial news that's hitting us from all sides.

15-minute coaching phone calls are proving to be a great tool for many of you. Checking in, brainstorming, focusing, preparing for meetings, follow-ups to meetings and more. Glad you're liking it and finding it helpful and empowering!

Also - please check out Save Lori's House
and lend a hand. Lori is a single mother who has been stricken with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). People from all over the world are pitching in to help, Ben Lee has lent his song "We're All In This Together". We are. Please help if you can.

Fall Preview

Hi All!

We're back...ish. Sessions continue with a bit of a break for some end-of-summer R&R. We're also getting in gear for the workshops and seminars and new projects that will be beginning in September.

We'll be offering some of the coaching topics as online workshops and seminars as well. Topics such as Career Transitions, Pre-Retirement Planning, Stress Management, Time Management, ME FIRST(sm), Finding Focus, Creativity Boosters and more. So for those of you who've been asking about them - you've got it. We'll be sending out emails with information - and keep checking back here for more details.

Stuck? Stressed? Overwhelmed? Not sure what to do? Can't wait until your next session or workshop? Need help fast/now/in a flash? We're starting something new as of next week - check out Coaching Phone Calls. 15 minute coaching! It's not meant to "solve all your problems" in one 15 minute coaching interaction. It's for those times that you need a quick dose, before or after an important meeting or interview, brainstorming a new concept, project or change, an interaction with your employees or your boss. It's a boost to get you to the next step, or session, or just to help you get through. For more information call 646.468.0608 or email me at kiki at dailylifeconsulting dot com.

Meanwhile - we're going to enjoy the first stunning day of "summer in the city". Enjoy the day your way,

Topics that will be covered are career choices, career transitions, career and practice shifts, exploring new options, stress management, time management, creativity, finding focus, etherthink and more. Our education and parenting workshops will include learning skills, school skills, reading-writing and comprehension, competition skills, children on overload, parenting skills and helping children succeed and sometimes fail successfully, enhancing creativity in children, helping children become life-long learners.
