Sinclair Ceasar III - Mental Health Speaker

How can the #DBT "FAST" skill help you in your professional and #personalDevelopment? You probably know how dedicated I am to proving how impactful #mentalHealthMatters can be to the design and #growth of #organizationalDevelopment and its leaders. Dr. Christopher Deussing, DSW, LCSW, C-DBT and Allison Whitmore provide a prefect example here 👇 https://lnkd.in/epHcVhtA It may be the best 13 minutes you spend all week. They describe how the "FAST" skill can be learned and practically applied. F - be Fair A - no Apologies S - Stick to values T - be Truthful This is a practice of skills that build our self-respect. 💜 Be FAIR – it is hard to respect ourselves if we're always being passive, always letting other people choose. Extend that to some extreme examples like an abusive relationship – being passive over time erodes our self-respect. Being fair when we are interacting with others means meeting people where they’re at in the moment, not where we think they should be. That influences how we talk to people, how information is communicated. 🧡 Fairness would also mean that we stop over-APOLOGIZING for making a request, having an opinion, disagreeing, or even just being alive. 🌟 Dr. D has an effective hack - instead of apologizing, say "Thank you". For example - if you show up late, instead of saying, “I'm sorry I'm late” say "Thank you for being patient". DBT is a lot about watching intentionally how we speak - to ourselves and to others. Because it forms and entrenches more positive patterns of thought that impact many more interactions throughout our relationships, whether personal, in #Leadership and Management, or even Sales. ❤️ Sticking to our VALUES would first involve knowing what our values are. That’s where we find our self. Do the work. 💙 Be TRUTHFUL when we are interacting with others, don't act helpless when we are not, or exaggerate. Own it. A pattern of dishonesty hits our self-respect, whether we are being dishonest to ourselves, someone else, or both - and we lose sight of what our values are. Being upfront with someone who shares a different opinion than ours is uncomfortable, and we may have avoided it in the past. Getting more of that experience under our belt will help us feel more capable over time. (📌 NOTE: A mindfulness practice AWAY from work helps to develop this skill especially when there is a power differential at play) Interpersonal Effectiveness is not a skill to always make you feel good. Like Radical Acceptance, it works best when it hurts the most. It’s not about being happy. It’s more about how we can live this life worth living, which INCLUDES pain (distress tolerance), and then NOT turning that to undue suffering. 👉 Follow Scott Boddie for more like this every Saturday on #mentalHealthAwareness - how we build #communityWellness and its practical application to creating actual #resilience in business throughout the week.

*Career Planning as an I/O Psychology Professional* Planning out your career can be difficult, especially when you do not know all of your options. The same goes for those with a #Master compared to others with a #Doctorate. You can develop a career in I/O Psychology without a doctorate!.. BUT you may need a doctorate for certain types of jobs. Make connections in the industry that interests you. For those of you currently at #SIOP2024, network! #iopsychology #businesspsychology #siop #careerplanning

This is a screenshot from the final regulations of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act recently released by the EEOC. It specifically states that "Because the statute and the regulations emphasize employee notice that is simple and straightforward, and need not be in writing, covered entities should train first-line supervisors to recognize such requests as requests for accommodations and to act on them accordingly." A pregnant employee may ask a manager for a simple accommodation in a casual conversation at work. The manager has the responsibility to recognize that as an accommodation request and then act on the request as quickly as possible. Do your front-line managers even know this law exists?? If not, let's chat. I can help. #pwfa #compliancetraining #managertraining #frontlinemanagers #hr #pregnantatwork

The recording of my Intersectional Leadership Q&A is up on our YouTube channel! In addition, to the common questions I've been getting, I also answered: What are some of the obstacles to adopting the model in traditionally structured organizations? How is Intersectional Leadership different than a DEI program? What are some prevailing biases that would prevent executives from adopting the Intersectional Leader model? https://lnkd.in/dituWs23

Communication is critical to growth. Most problems within a team will stem from a lack of communication or needing a clear directive. Over-communicate internally and externally. Control the narrative for your team members and leaders. Create clear directives around who leads specific communication channels. Simple is genius- simplify the outcomes. Listen to understand, not just to hear. MORE information is better than NO communication. #communication #learninganddevelopment #leadership
