The Deadly Factors of Stress in the Workplace * Written by:  David Hults, Executive Career Coach, author, speaker, Executive Director of Activ:8 Peak Performance Network, Advanced Certified Birkman Consultant and Former Career Columnist - St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Visit  http://www.activ8careers.com  " Follow his blog at  http://www.careerstr8talk.com I recently talked with two professionals who had something dangerously in common - a heart attack this past Fall, which doctors said was caused by workplace stress. Most people assume workplace stress is only found in a job you don't like, but this is not true, as evidenced by these two people. One said they hated their job because it was so stressful, and the other client said they love their job despite its demands. So what causes all this stress? The American Institute of Stress tells us that 6% of professionals feel stress due to the lack of job security, 20% represent stress while trying to juggle work and ...

Pondering Thoughts Whenever I get to a stressed level in my life - you know, when you have a permanent frown inside even though you may appear alright to the world... Well, when that happens, I find myself recalling some of the best advice gleaned from a lifetime of encounters with people who knew better than I (which is a lot - ha ha) and I wanted to share some of those bits of advice in this mini-series of posts I'm releasing every 10 or 11 days or so titled:  Pondering Thoughts . So the first was " Start How You Mean To Continue ", followed by " Doing It Right The First Time " and then a small piece about " Patience With The Process ", followed by  " Listen To Others " and then I shared some thoughts on " living without a crutch; feeling the fear and doing it anyway ".  ...and today (probably the last article in this mini-series) we'll look at: Getting Out of a Rut Have you noticed that a lot of what we've shared ...

Well, when that happens, I find myself recalling some of the best advice gleaned from a lifetime of encounters with people who knew better than I (which is a lot - ha ha) and I wanted to share some of those bits of advice in this mini-series of posts I'm calling Pondering Thoughts. So the first was " Start How You Mean To Continue ", followed by " Doing it right the first time "  ...and today we'll look at:  " Be patient with the process; be patient with yourself  - t his too, shall pass " This bit of advice came from my eldest brother, Larry (hey, Larry!) and was mixed with advice I heard during a talk radio interview. Many of you know the pain of caregiving for ailing parents (whether long-distance or close at hand) and saying the final good bye, then dealing with t...

Well, when that happens, I find myself recalling some of the best advice gleaned from a lifetime of encounters with people who knew better than I (which is a lot - ha ha) and I wanted to share some of those bits of advice in this mini-series of posts I'm calling Pondering Thoughts. So the first was " Start How You Mean To Continue ", and today we'll look at: "Doing it right the first time" This little bit of advice was somehow ground into me during my youth and eventually took hold. My mother applied this principle to everything we were supposed to do - folding laundry, making the bed, putting away things, doing dishes and other areas of life too. I recall doing the dishes and we didn't do them right... kinda lazy job. My mom was very disappointed and to show it, we had to do...
