Dealing with Difficult Interactions

Terra, Communicating is often the best answer. We go on with our problems and don't share the issue with the right people. Communication is 87% listening, 7% vocal and 6% body language. If we can master each of these in the right portions we will succeed in solving many issues. Dr. Gary Carlson

Handling Workplace Stress

Darlene, More than once in my life it has been beneficial to step back and think outside of the situation. Stepping back and giving you some time to think and broaden your thinking process is always a good thing to practice. You are definitely on the right track. Sometimes it is a very difficult decision but taking time to think it our is always good if you have the time. Dr. Gary Carlson

christie, Music is always a good detraction from stress. Any kind of music that helps would be ok. Your ability to find something that works for you is the best technique. Not everything works for all people. Dr. Gary Carlson
