Mental Health Awareness in the Workplace: Silently Suffering vs. Quietly Quitting

Everyday, members of our village community tell us the worrying ...

Everyday, members of our village community tell us the worrying thoughts they struggle with - many of which you can likely relate to. Work stress, family health or relationship difficulties, ...are many of the issues going on around us. These worrying thoughts can increase anxiety or now become a road block to you functioning on a daily basis, causing increased anxiety. What does having anxiety even mean? Sure, people worry. But worry can't make you sick, can it?

Worry is not the same thing as anxiety. Worry is transient and temporary, while anxiety is so much more permeable. It's an unstable current running beneath every aspect of your life. Sometimes the current is calm, almost like a millpond. Other times, the current is a mad, raging river, thrusting you headlong towards the waterfall looming ahead. Many of us are not equipped to handle this change in behavior and are told they have a mental health condition. Many of us do not understand what is going on and we get bad advice and read the wrong information.
Could it be we are a generation with mental health issues being raised by a generation who do not know enough about what a mental illness was?

There are so many misconceptions surrounding mental illnesses that there is little wonder that they so often go undiagnosed. Mental illness does not correspond to a person's age, ethnicity, or income level. Many people are biased when it comes to mental illness. They see those with mental health issues as outsiders, and in some cases, they believe mental illness is a result of deficient character. For these reasons, we are often reluctant to seek help for mental illness. The stigma surrounding mental health has persisted for centuries. We simply do not want to expose ourselves to misconceptions and prejudice by seeking treatment. Instead, too many make a worse choice. They choose to ignore the signs of worry and anxiety until the problems become too severe to manage.
Could this be a reason many in our workforce are suffering in silence? Join us to hear from Coach AK and Cristina Costa about their hands on experiences at Google.[+] Show More

The Power of Upskilling: How Employers can Invest in and Retain their Talent

In today's fast-paced economy, the demand for skilled workers is ever-increasing. As industries evolve and technology advances, employees must acquire new skills in order to remain competitive in their field ...while remaining in their current position. However, while employers may recognize the need for upskilling, they may not always provide the resources necessary for their workers to do so. As a result, many employees are taking it upon themselves to seek out opportunities for growth and development OUTSIDE of the workplace.
Upskilling refers to the process of learning new skills or improving existing ones to stay relevant and competitive in the job market. The need for upskilling has become increasingly evident as automation and other technological advancements have disrupted many industries. As a result, workers must constantly adapt to new technologies and processes to remain valuable to their employers. Likewise, employers are responsible for providing opportunities for their employees to upskill. However, some employers may not recognize the importance of investing in their employees' development. In such cases, workers are left to seek training and development opportunities on their own – many of them leaving their workplaces for better opportunities for career growth.
Upskilling not only benefits workers but also employers. Companies that invest in their employees' development are more likely to retain their top talent, improve employee morale and engagement, and increase productivity. Upskilling can also lead to innovation, as employees bring new ideas and perspectives to the table. With the rise of online learning platforms and the availability of virtual conferences and workshops, there are ample opportunities for workers to acquire new skills and stay competitive in their field. By investing in their development, workers can position themselves for success and contribute to the growth and success of their employer.
Join me and Career and Leadership Coach, Cristina Costa, as we discuss how employers can better support and upskill their most important asset – THEIR EMPLOYEES. We will navigate through the options available to employees at employers and in the outside marketplace. Think of it as Leadership Coaching within your organization.[+] Show More
