Have you experienced silently quitting? In this episode, where we explore the growing issue of silently quitting in the workplace. I came across an article on LinkedIn about the rising trend of quietly quitting and thought this is a good topic to explore. Silently Quitting, which can contribute to a lack of enthusiasm, decreased productivity, or a reluctance to take on new tasks, has increased due to workplace burnout, dissatisfaction, and blurred lines between work and personal life. Many employees feel overwhelmed by expectations and find themselves doing just enough to meet their job requirements without going above and beyond. "Silent Quitting," where employees disengage from their work without formally resigning, can significantly affect managers, supervisors, and employees. To address silent quitting, managers can foster open communication, provide support, and ensure employees feel valued, engaged, and safe. If silently quitting becomes the norm what will happen? Today's podcast Affirmation I strive to maintain employee retention! If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership, life, and work-life balance coach like me can help you overcome those everyday challenges and continue moving forward to where you want to be.

Feeling responsible for other people's actions can be challenging and heavy. I shared a few steps you can take to navigate through this feeling. Learning to let go of responsibility for others' actions can be a process. Putting the strategies we've explored, such as boundaries, seeking support, and prioritizing your well-being by applying them with confidence, will help.

How do you approach the impact of your decisions on your employees? This podcast episode explores managers' and supervisors' impact on their employees. Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on your impact as a manager or supervisor? Self-reflection is not just a tool for personal growth but a powerful way to empower yourself and for the well-being of your team. I recently came across this powerful quote: 'Your manager has more impact on your mental health than your therapist or doctor. Having a good boss can change your life. ~ Unknown.' Be aware of changes in your staff's behaviors, such as increased absenteeism, decreased productivity, or other behavioral changes. Today's podcast Affirmation I am a good leader! If you are struggling with the daily grind and feel alone, a leadership and work-life balance coach like me can provide guidance and support. I can help you navigate those everyday challenges, improve your leadership skills, and maintain a healthy work-life balance so you can continue moving to where you want to be.

In this episode, there will be some adult language. I saw a reel on Instagram recently where the guy said, "Stress at work comes from giving a sh*t." Wow, that statement hit me hard because I sometimes (most of the time) care too much, take my responsibilities or projects seriously, and want to do the best job possible. I care about a great outcome. What about you? Do you care too much while others who don't care seem to have no stress because they don't give a sh*t and appear to attract whatever they want at work? They get promotions and special projects and climb the corporate ladder fast while dumping their work on everyone else, especially the Doer. At the same time, the Doer is overwhelmed and receives no recognition for all they do while someone else takes the credit. How do you deal with your internal emotions? What keeps you motivated to do your best and not let these situations jade you, defeat you, and overtake your ambitions and confidence? Some may say what does it matter? It's just a job. As Managers and Supervisors, we may only know what is truly going on with our team if we spend time with our staff and they feel safe discussing these situations. Does your staff feel comfortable talking to you about uncomfortable situations happening in the work environment? Do you feel comfortable asking how it's going and receiving unfavorable feedback you may have to address? As a manager and supervisor, do you ignore things, hope they go away, and use the attitude I don't care to deal with the daily grind? Think about the stress that is going on around you. Have employees been calling out more than usual lately? What about employees' attitudes at work? Are they more reactive than proactive, aggressive, unmotivated, sensitive, or lacking in productivity? How are you feeling? Are you stressed or uncaring, or both? Or do you care too much? This podcast episode offers a lot to consider. I would love your thoughts on this topic. If there is another topic you would like me to explore, please leave a comment. Today's podcast Affirmation I choose to let go of what I can't control! 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.

Hi, How's it going? I am Patti Oskvarek from Coaching for Inspiration with Patti, a Work-Life Balance and Leadership coach, Reiki Master, Blogger, and Podcaster. I help managers and supervisors to become better leaders and live a more purposeful, balanced life outside of work. Today, I wanted to share about Affirmations. When I worked as a Manager and Supervisor, there were days I needed encouragement, a boost of confidence, or meaningful inspiration when all around me was in chaos. I would recite affirmations to help me get through the day. I would write affirmations on yellow sticky notes and put them on my steering wheel, computer, or bathroom mirror. To help get me motivated for the day. When I took a break, I would listen to affirmations as I took a walk. Affirmations helped me refocus some positive thoughts and get the negative thoughts out of my head to reframe those thoughts into good ones. Some people think Affirmations are woo-woo. However, I don't see it that way. It can shift your mindset if you want it bad enough. If you are dealing with the daily grind and have constant interruptions or coworkers trying to discredit you, having positive words and thoughts is good to keep you stable, inspired, and focused. Have there been times when you needed some inspiration, reassurance, or encouragement during your work day? I use affirmations in my coaching style by giving clients affirmations during coaching sessions to keep them focused on their goals. While in a coaching session, I may use my Work-Life Balance Affirmation cards that I created during the coaching session and pull a card; the expression on their faces is priceless because the card is what they need to hear to inspire them. Clients use them, and they recite the affirmation daily and weekly. It reminds them of their wants and keeps them focused on the end goal. I created the Work-Life Balance affirmation cards to inspire and encourage; read and repeat them throughout the day. Post them around your home, work area, or in your vehicle. They are pocket-sized, which makes them easy to carry around with you. How to use the Work-Life Balance Affirmation Cards: Shuffle and randomly select a card, reflect on it, and repeat the affirmation throughout the day. Or choose a card for the day you would like to focus on and have in your life.

Hi, Managers and Supervisors How's it going? Holiday Time is coming. Are you prepared as a Manager and Supervisor? For a manager and supervisor, this can be a stressful time keeping the business running at maximum speed or at all. Holidays have a lot of personal stress and often affect the work environment. What do I mean? It can be distracting and can lower productivity in the workplace. Some people become less productive at work during the holiday season and lose motivation. Productivity may be lower because managers and staff are on leave from the office, and workflow slows down. What are some ways to prepare and ease the anxiety for you and your staff? Do you rotate Holiday leave time with the staff? If someone takes off one Holiday, they work the other Holidays. Then, they take another Holiday the following year but not the one they got the previous year. Or does the team sit down and determine together what Holidays they get off? What about you? Do you take time off during the holidays? Do you plan to take time off and not just physically be there but mentally and emotionally as well? Preparing well in advance with your staff who is taking time off and what holidays you are taking off - gives everyone a sense of commitment and understanding, and everyone can prepare with their family and friends. Time to reflect: What is your Holiday Leave Time plan for you and your employees? Today's podcast Affirmation I am prepared for the Holidays at work! Question: Do you feel that work and personal life compete with your attention? 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.

In this podcast episode, we 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? Empathy without boundaries doesn't work and can be self-destructive and disruptive to the workplace. 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?
