Season 3| Episode 3| How to balance productivity and your well-being while working from home?

Listen, we are all struggling with adulting in some way or shape. And for most of us, we believe that no one else is having quite as hard of a time as us. Yet, that’s just not true. In fact, most of us are struggling with the same kinds of issues and feeling just as challenged because life can feel really hard. The truth is adulting ain't easy. This podcast will show you that every challenge faced whether in your professional life or in your personal life is normal and natural. "Sharing and owning our stories in truth for self-empowerment, self-actualization, self-liberation, and self-growth. Truth is the pathway to happiness.” — Aminat Salihu | thathonestything Season 3| Episode 2 | How to develop strong people skills? Although "regular" intelligence is important to be successful in life, emotional intelligence is key to relating well to others and achieving your goals. Many people believe that it is at least as important as regular intelligence, and many companies now use emotional intelligence testing to hire new staff. Remember that Emotional intelligence is an awareness of your actions and feelings – and how they affect those around you. It also means that you value others, listen to their wants and needs, and are able to empathize or identify with them on many different levels. Guests:Megg Thompson Behavior Consultant Life coach for children, adults, & families Author of Scoot ‘n Newton booksFind out more about Megg on her website at www.meggthompson.com  Joyce Perez Teacher (Teaches Bilingual Education)10th Year in EducationShe  makes her emotional health and those of her  students a big priority. She also loves knitting, cooking, and fashion!You can follow her on Instagram @ jp_gets_fit_Cindy Feliciano Social Worker If you have a story to share about something that was challenging for you this week, email it to dennisibude@gmail.com .

Season 3 | Episode 1| How to be an effective leader in a work place?

My name is Dennis Ibude and I am in my 4th year as an educator. I obtained my B.A from State University at Potsdam & my M.Ed at Relay Graduate School of Education. I teach because I believe that all scholars have the potential to succeed in all areas of life. It’s our job as educators to ensure that we meet scholars where they are and provide them with the tools they need to evolve into their best selves. One of the programs I offer to students around NYC is a Podcast Seminar that focuses on educating, mentoring, celebrating, promoting emotional well-being and school success in our youths in order to be future leaders of tomorrow.  Our young people are the future, so let’s invest in them & provide them a platform to articulate themselves.   Lesson #1: Effective SchedulingAim: Develop an effective schedule to ensure that they are making the best use of their time. Key PointsScheduling is the process by which you plan how you'll use your time. Doing it well can maximize your effectiveness and reduce your stress levels. Follow this six-step process to prepare your schedule: 1.Identify the time you have available.2.Block in the essential tasks you must carry out to succeed at school & personal life.3.Schedule high-priority urgent tasks and vital "housekeeping" activities.4.Block in appropriate contingency time to handle unpredictable events and interruptions.5.Schedule the activities that address your priorities and personal goals in the time that remains.6.Analyze your activities to identify tasks that can be delegated, outsourced or cut altogether.  Please stay engaged, subscribe, rate and download the episodes you resonate with.
