MH23-13. Mediating Conflict with Kimberly Best.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Health Awareness with Sara Troy with guest Kimberly Best, on air March 28th

“We have thought of peace as the passive and war as the active way of living. The opposite is true. War is not the most strenuous life. It is a kind of rest-cure compared to the task of reconciling our differences…. The world will be regenerated by the people who rise above these passive ways and heroically seek, by whatever hardship, by whatever toil, the methods by which people can agree.”
? Mary Parker Follett.

Kimberly says that, mediation, negotiation, and arbitration are dispute resolution skills that also include facilitation.  The scope of use is anywhere from interpersonal to countries at war.  Problems can be identified, their impact discussed, and each person’s needs identified in order to resolve the conflict.  An easy way to describe it is collaborative problem solving.

23-13. Treat Yourself

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from March 28th

Guilty pleasures we should not feel guilty about. I had a wonderful weekend celebrating Grandsons Birthday, son-in law and daughter in law as births, plus a baby shower for my daughter.

BUT, I also sat on a comfy seat out in the sun reading my brothers new book, and finished in one day as I like to read. We has gone for a walk, they played a game and I put my feet up and read a book. Heavily.

We need to do something un work related and do something for ourselves. NO GUILT, just do, something special just for you. It rejuvenated you, inspires you and allows you to shut of from outside expectations, and just be doing what you love to do.

Big idea:  There are 8 powerful but surprising ways to find happiness, especially in the middle of tough times. Instead of digging in, turn away — and find goodness in creativity and connection.

Why it matters: It may seem counterintuitive to step away from challenges and adversity to do an art project or take a walk. But refocusing on beauty and creativity when the chips are down is a powerful way to undo fear and worry.

Key takeaways: Diane Pienta, a creativity mentor and healer, has helped countless people find a new sense of purpose and joy by focusing their energy on doing what they love.

The author can also discuss:

  • How an encounter at an arts and crafts school changed her views on facing strife.
  • How to harness the power of creativity to find strength.
  • Why simple pleasures, like community, can transform our views of the world.  
  • How movement plays a key role in healing our pain.
  • How we can tap into our own strength by refocusing away from hardship.

TSM.23-12. Maureen Karen & BIPOC career woman…

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Marleen Karen, on air from March 21st

Maureen had a stroke which interrupted her career, but what she learnt from it and how it has helped her become a better mentor, is profound. She helps women of colour, find their own way forward into living a life of choice, care, community, and communication, so they are living their best life.

We empower BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) professional women who are stuck on the corporate ladder to move forward in their career.

?are you a professional female who’s sick and tired of only “staying in your lane” when you KNOW that you were meant for more?

?is the excuse of HR hiring another candidate who was the right fit when you not only have all the requirements, but EXCEED them as well?

?is being overlooked, ignored and only being given menial tasks no longer your cup of tea?

?are you exhausted from having those same old headaches and pain of constantly overworking in your position, but not being valued or appreciated for your labour?

Ever since leaving high school, I have always been either the only or one of 2 or 3 Black female students in the classroom. However, I did not let that disparity prevent me from excelling and proving myself and my worth.  By continually progressing due to being denied advancement on the educational and professional front, I quickly realized that I was an example of a dichotomous division in those circles.  Also, I became acutely aware of limitations that I, as a Black female, would have to face since there’s a huge lack of representation which hinders my ability to take part in innovative and inclusive practices.
