I am honored to win the 2016 Community Media Rika Welch leadership award for community impact; a testimony to the Guests who shared their stories on MidLIFE Matters. In addition, an 2018 interview I did with Judith Altmann, a Holocaust Survivor, won an award. In 2020 and 2021 two other awards acknowledged the content of interviews dealing with Child Sex Trafficking in CT and Non-Profit leadership. In 2023 MidLIFE Matters won First Place for a Profile Talk Show.Tuesday

Tactical Tip #4: Take Care
Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 07:28PM Create space to avoid meltdowns: Devoted workers are most vulnerable to burn-out!
- Develop habits that buffer you from workday stressors.
- Skipping sleep and ignoring other parts of your life weakens endurance.
- Sleep improves memory and aids in problem solving.
- Take a recess -- try a change of scenery at lunch or during your commute.
- Break big problems into smaller pieces and tackle what you have control over.
- Bolster your confidence by reviewing past successes -- keep a "smile file."
- Humor can deflect toxic vibes; be careful, bad moods are contagious.
- Groups may create a crisis to avoid complexity. Side-step drama.
- Do your part, but keep a focus on your future.
