Say It Skillfully® - Droning On, Helping With Grief & Retiring?!

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 118, Tulio shows courage in calling in even though English is not his native language (bravo, Tulio!). He shares a job that started well, but sadly didn’t stay that way. While not pleasant, the lesson was clear: a trusted manager/employee relationship is key. Next, Cyrill is keen for how to get out of the uncomfortable situation of feeling stuck on calls, wanting to stop someone from going on and on. How to finesse this (8:15)? Then, Claire has both excitement and trepidation about considering retirement and creating what exactly to retire to. Claire and Molly have a lively conversation about how to think about this…from personal passion and the role “work” has played for her for decades, to making the most of her skills and experience, staying relevant and making a positive difference (20:20). Finally, Molly shares a helpful post she found on what you can say when someone is grieving, and shared examples, including: “I’m here if you want to vent, or just to listen.” “Is there anything I could do to make your life easier right now?” (the.holistic.psychologist) My Thought for the Week: Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity —Simone Weil.
