In this episode, Dr. Kim dives into a topic that is often overlooked but holds immense power in our personal and professional growth – the practice of deep self-reflection. She guides you through and exploration of how this practice can lead to healthy leadership development and success, why it should extend beyond the workplace into our daily lives, and how it can empower you to achieve success in the new year.
Let’s dive in!
In the first episode of 2024, we dive into a topic that resonates with so many of us as we kick off the new year: setting and achieving our goals. We often hear about the January 1st rush, where everyone seems to be hitting the ground running with their New Year's resolutions. But what if I told you that taking January to plan rather than plunging straight into execution might significantly increase your chances of success? Let's explore why using January as your planning month, especially when recovering from burnout or prolonged stress, can be a game-changer!
In this episode, Dr. Kim discusses why wellness is such a novel concept to many organizations and work cultures today. She explores the importance of supporting employee wellness and offers a global perspective on this vital aspect of the modern workplace.
One of the goals of this podcast is to provide listeners with the information they need to become future-driven leaders and build future-ready organizational culture. It’s fitting that for the 50th episode Dr. Kim discusses the in’s and out’s of the recent ruling of the National Labor Relations Board that makes it unlawful for companies to make laid-off employees agree not to disparage their former employer as part of a severance package. This is a significant shift in Worker’s Rights. As we court a 4-day work week, navigate layoffs, and determine the future of remote work, this is an important discussion for leaders. Dr. Kim is breaking down the implications of this ruling, why it was necessary, how it benefits employees and what can former employees really say.
In today's fast-paced, always-connected world, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of responsibilities, expectations, and distractions. As a result, many of us are left feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and disconnected from our true selves. That's where mindfulness comes in. Mindfulness is a simple yet transformative practice that has the potential to revolutionize our daily lives. This episode aims to explore three ways in which mindfulness can be seamlessly incorporated into our routines, enhancing our well-being, relationships, and overall happiness.
In today's world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by chaos and negativity. We are bombarded with information from the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep. For today’s Mindset Monday, Dr. Kim shares five powerful affirmations you can repeat to yourself in moments of stress or negativity throughout the week.
Burnout can cause us to feel powerless. In our hyperstress state, we spend each day in Survival Mode allowing life to "happen to us" instead of making conscious choices that can improve our well-being each day. In this episode, Dr. Kim breaks down conscious choice and shows you how to start practicing conscious choice in less than 10 minutes.
This week's affirmation:
I am powerful.
I can choose.
I am choosing me.
The Mind-Body Connection is not a new age concept. It's actually the foundation of ancient healing practices. Unfortunately, too many of use learn to disconnect from our bodies from an early age through conditioning and trauma. In this episode of Mindfulness, Dr. Kim discusses how we can reinforce this important connection in a simple, practical way.
For her first podcast of 2022, Dr. Kim is challenging listeners to stay present. It’s so important to not fixate on outcomes, but rather to stay present for whatever is happening. Even if it’s not what we want or like. She includes a simple mindfulness exercise in this episode. Check it out. Have a great week!
