I do my best to model the way by encouraging others to recharge and by working to create a positive culture. I’ve started conference calls and meetings with recognition or music and motivated my team to move through well-being challenges. I’ve encouraged flexibility with work to ensure everyone achieves the life-work integration that balances their multi-dimensional lives and leadership.

One of my favorite Microsteps is to visualize a person, place, or thing that I’m grateful for. Since I started practicing it, I’ve noticed that I start each day with a more positive outlook. …Overall, Microstep allows me to focus and recharge so I can be better at supporting our team members

I love my Thrive app, Thrive’s educational sessions, and the tools offered to help me grow in my self-development. Thrive has been a real game changer for me. I use the Microsteps every day — especially writing down my top three tasks to get done and practicing gratitude. I love the way it gives me the ability to focus.

Working in a fast-paced environment is not easy. Dealing with personal issues or difficulties while creating experiences for people every day can be quite challenging. To find some balance, I started a Microstep that I learned centered around box breathing. It’s a breathing technique that helps you reset from stress, and this has been a huge help for me. I also started utilizing positive affirmations to reshape my mindset and to counteract cortisol (a stress hormone that brings negativity into the mind). I’ve learned from Thrive that our brain can be shaped and molded by positive thinking and affirmations! In other words: Change your thinking, change your future. I’ve been sharing my affirmations with others and this has brought about a positive experience for customers!
