Comment on The rise and morphing of the “Work Life Balance” media debate by Chrysula Winegar

Chrysula Winegar — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:05:49 +0000

As you highlight the mix needed – appropriate legislation married with commercial realities and talent management needs – and drop in the motivation and incentive of great media, this add powerfully to the overall business case.

Judy, this evolution of the conversation is pitch perfect (and makes we want even more to have attended the event). Thanks for sharing. I’ll be posting on my FB fan page http://www.facebook.com/worklifebalance tomorrow.

Comment on The benchmarks for a psychologically healthy workplace by Marly

Wow, a national turnover rate of 41%? What does that say about working in this country? It does seem like so many people I talk to today are unhappy in their jobs – and most of it is related to culture issues, not the work itself.

Comment on Tiger Woods’ apology fuels talk of meditation at work & in life by Seema Bhatia

When Tiger Woods made news for all the wrong reasons and became a black sheep from the blue eyed boy overnight, I thought it was unfair! If we look deeper, Woods has indeed lived a Buddhist life by focusing and immersing himself completely in the task (read- Golf) he has undertaken. which was why he achieved the precision that is required to be perfect! By no stretch of imagination or claim was he idolized as a husband! Meditation happens in life, not in a quiet room with orange lights and soothing music, that is relaxation NOT MEDITATION! Meditation as taught by Buddha happens at all times and in all situations, the essence of which is, to be completely here and now in mind and body, immersing yourself completely in whatever that occupies you!!

V. cool to see the higher, human values play a central role in a current novel! We must be close to that tipping point when the foundation of our behind the scenes ‘SoulBranding’ makes it into popular culture! Here’s to a sane new world!

Hi, Judy,

Got the link to your video on Twitter from David Meerman Scott. Thanks for posting…it was very informative. I’m gearing up to start my own PR agency again in a couple of months. I’ve done both the corporate and solo gig and I can say from experience…solo is the way to go! There is no salary amount you can attach to freedom.

Thanks, again.

Comment on WorkLife Nation Webisode: Using Social Media to go Solo by Judy Martin

Thanks for responding David. I happen to agree with you, although it’s quite the jump. It’s a mind puzzle of incredible proportions and takes a lot of courage. Just getting a taste of that over the last few years has convinced me. Sometimes the road less traveled can be cluttered with a monkey mind of doubt, calling for one to draw on every ounce of resilience and confidence – but the rewards can be so fulfilling.

Hi Judy!

Thanks for including my stuff in this video.

Going solo is the ultimate in security. Many people think having a job is security, but it is not because you could lose you job at any time. When you are solo with multiple clients, losing one does not mean losing your income.

Its sounds weird, but really — solo is the ultimate in job security.

Comment on WorkLife Nation Webisode: The Power of Slow by Shalini Bahl

This interview is so relevant in today’s world, which runs with the assumption that if we slow down we will be left behind. On the contrary, slowing down allows us to be mindful and from that place we can be more creative, efficient, and enjoy the journey.

In my Blog I wrote about how mindfulness is needed in business:
