Ann Rockley talks to Cheryl Landes about coping at work when caring for a spouse with mental illness

One in five people suffer from a mental health condition, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and many of their loved ones in the workforce are caring for them. Usually, these caregivers are thrust into this role without warning and no support, and the endless demands affect their health and job performance. Caregivers struggle with knowing where to turn for help and who to trust. If you’re a caregiver, how can you find a balance where you can remain successful in your career while giving your loved one the appropriate care?

In this session, you’ll learn:
1) How to spot the signs you need help as a caregiver
2) How to identify people who will support you and how to approach them
3) How to care for yourself and know when to let go

Cheryl Landes is a technical communications consultant who has experienced the challenges of taking care of a husband with an undiagnosed mental illness. In her latest book, The Best I Can Do, she describes her experiences helplessly watching her husband’s decline, which tore their lives apart and forced them into homelessness, and her journey to recovery.

Conquer Impostor Syndrome to Advance Your Career

Ann Rockley on the myth and challenges of work-life balance and creating work-life success instead

Work-life balance is a myth, especially in today’s “always on” culture! It's impossible to keep both work and life in perfect balance all the time. 

Work-life integration is a more flexible approach giving you greater control over where to spend your time, but work-life integration blurs the line between work and life and it can be a slippery slope as you let more work shift into personal time.

There is no perfect solution, but understanding the trade-offs and best practices can make it possible to build work-life success. 

Join this session to learn how you can create work-life success by:

1) Recognizing the myths and reality of work-life options
2) Understanding the choices and the trade-offs
3) Reducing stress and frustration with best practices to simplify choices
4) Learning to pivot and shift to adapt to whatever life throws at you

Work-Life Balance: The Myth and Solutions

Many people work the standard 40-hour workweek or more, but where did that standard come from, and is it the best for optimum productivity? We can use the research in neuroscience and look to the inclinations of top performers to understand how we can work less and get more done. Using this knowledge we can improve our performance and work less. We may even see the four-day workweek emerge as the new standard. 

Join Host Ann Rockley and her special guest, Joe Sanok, and learn how a change in mindset can make you more productive even when you slow down!

Thursday is the New Friday — Change Your Mindset to Be More Productive

Bring your best self to any situation with an alter ego.

We've been sold a lie that, to be authentic, we need to be the same in every situation.

Yet, we know that's not true:
• You're different at work than when you're at home
• You're different with your college friends than when you're with your family
• You’re different with work colleagues than you are with your best friends

Being authentic is showing up as your best self to each situation. Many of us get stuck trying to do that. People-pleasing, imposter syndrome, inner critics, and old habits all conspire to prevent our best selves from showing up.
 
When you experience divorce, disease, layoffs, or loss, you can feel unsure of who you are and how to be. Difficult situations and life changes provide a great opportunity for reinvention and tapping into your most authentic desires.
 
 Join Ann Rockley and her guest, Meg Niman, to learn:
 1) Why you already have the qualities you seek
 2) The key question to ask yourself when you're stuck
 3) The one magical phrase to help you morph into who you've always wanted to be
