Should you tell your boss you're overwhelmed at work?

overwhelmed

Getting up early to work on a paper before the dreaded Teams back-to-back calls start and working late once they finish is a common groan I hear. I do it myself. ‘If I could just find some time to do my actual work’ is something I often hear and empathise with. However, I work for myself, so my workload is something...

How to avoid the ‘lazy girl’ workplace trend in 2024

lazy-girl

2023 was not just another year in the corporate world; it was a theatrical production branding workplace behaviour. There was the overt "lazy girl” job trend - a cheeky nod to roles offering a ‘supposed’ better work-life balance, a stark contrast to the hustle culture of yesteryears.

Did you know a recent study showed that the average adult has between 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts daily? And that 95% of those thoughts are repetitive from the day before? We’re undoubtedly habitual creatures, that’s for sure. As human beings, our brain is wired to jump to conclusions, too, so when you hear something go bump in the night, your thoughts immediately go to a potential axe murderer rather than your pet knocking your phone off the nightstand.

uncertainty

Uncertainty certainly is a certainty these days (say that really fast three times, and I’ll give you a curly wurly). Every day, we’re not sure what fresh morsel of bizarre the news is going to serve, what politics is going to bring, what twist the economy is going to take.

Loving leadership? Or are you overworked and out of your depth?

leader

Let’s be honest: even if you love being a leader the majority of the time, there’ll be tricky weeks, days or moments. That’s the nature of leadership, right?
