However, when you're literally choking to death and everyone else is watching you take your last breaths, THAT SOMEONE steps forward, performs the Heimlich maneuver, and saves your life.” The Stoicess* * Think about Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37 keeping in mind the significant amount of hatred between Jews and Samaritans. That "Neighbor'” Jesus spoke of, is a “Trusted Friend”. Need a Trusted Friend?

We all have those ups and downs at the office. One week, praised by the boss. The next week, nothing we do is satisfactory.So, how do you continue? Resilience. It's God's secret recipe for you! Stoicmatchmaker.com

Has your enthusiasm for career success evaporated? Are you tired, despondent, and don't want to get out of bed this morning because of the setbacks you have faced of late?. Are you asking yourself, How do the few successful people make it?”Then let me introduce you to "Resilience" - that secret recipe successful people use to overcome obstacles and avoid easy surrender. 

How do you deal with a phone-distracted coworker who is assigned to a major project with you? Is management to blame for assigning this lack-luster employee with you? I suggest it's time to dig into your bag of leadership skills. 

Effective leadership requires confidence. Instead of freezing in our steps, with confidence we take that first step when faced with an obstacle. In this webinar, we address a kingly person that anyone would admire – one that there was no one like him, either before or after him, per the Bible. This great individual faced his greatest challenge when an unbeatable foe sent him a letter stating that God could not save him and his kingdom from this foe. It's a heroic story to remind you of what that “confidence” first step should always be when faced with an adversary. And what is it that first step? That absolutely no foe can ultimately win a threat when you place God between that foe and you. 

Does your boss pooh-pooh your ideas because the boss has no idea of what she wants? It's time to bring out the big guns to get that home run!

What do you do when your support group doesn't want you to take the promotion and even threaten your friendship? Seeking God's wisdom has your answer.

As you advance in your career ladder there will be times that you will see a teacher's pet (or boss's pet) move up the totem pole while you remain behind. The special attention the person receives may drive you nuts. However, you need to look closely to determine if this individual has talents or a particular association with someone that may help you advance your career if you associate with them.    In this webinar, we address a Bible hero who had something unique that no one else could match. As such, she received a lot of attention from others. Her name was Mary, the mother of Jesus. The story of Mother Mary teaches us that she shared the same pleasure, anxiety, and fear for her special child that any mother would feel. The difference though, was that she was raising the Messiah. Thus, the special attention she received was warranted. 

Is it time to let go of your current job? Let's address the signs.

What do you do when a colleague badmouths another colleague at the office? Noninvolvement is an option.

Do you know an older co-worker who is struggling on the job? If you offer to be their mentor, you might create a mutually beneficial relationship. 

Have a boss who loves to use sarcasm? Listen to the poem for some insight.

How do you deal with employees playing on their cell phones instead of working? As their leader, it's time to have empathy and find a balance between work and non-work activities.

Do you say “I'm Sorry” too often at the office? To be accepted in society's current mainstream, you must quit over-apologizing. 

In every workplace, there is a need for individuals who are willing to lend an ear and offer their thoughts and insights to their superiors. These individuals, often referred to as sounding boards, serve as a valuable resource for decision-makers, providing them with a different perspective and helping them navigate through complex situations.   It is crucial to recognize when you're a sounding board for your boss, that thesituation has crossed the line into you being taken advantage of. When yourboss consistently relies on you as their sounding board without acknowledgingyour own needs or aspirations, it can lead to feelings of being undervalued andoverlooked.  As Christians, we often use God as our sounding board when we want things to go our way in our careers. A better job, more money, additional time off. And whenthings don't seem to be going our way, we get upset with God.   However, have we ever thought about what God wants when we use Him as our sounding board? Are we acting like our boss and not acknowledging God's needs?  In this webinar, we address three individuals who got what they wanted from Godbecause they framed what they wanted as being something God could use.   It's a story of trust and obey with a touch of compassion for helping God'schildren. 

What do you do when your partner demands an apology for something you have no control over? Listen to the Stoicess' words on how to handle difficult conversations. 

Should you share the juicy gossip that deals with a colleague? The Stoicess has some advice to consider.

Being passed over for a promotion can be one of the most traumatic experiences possible. Hearing the words, “You were not selected” immediately triggers a range of emotions - disappointment, frustration, and even resentment. However, before letting your emotions get the best of you, it's important to reflect on these feelings while assessing the situation objectively. Oftentimes, by being patient and watching the interaction between the boss and the selectee as time passes, you may count it as a blessing that you did not receive the promotion.In this webinar, we address a promotion that many a man would say they wish they could receive, but watching the selectee as time went by, would likely change their minds and be satisfied they were passed over for that promotion. It's a Samson of a story, but lacking a key ingredient called LOVE. 

Ever have a partner who wants to put you in the "Friend" zone? You're not alone. The Stoicess has a thought for you.

Are unpleasant customers using you for entertainment? Listen to the Stoicess' poem for some unique advice.

  The boss has known for a month you've got a get-away planned for this weekend. It's midday Friday and you're trying to finish up that final report due before leaving at 5pm today. Once you're “out of here” it's relaxation and freedom for the weekend at your favorite getaway place oceanside. As you're typing your heart out on the computer, you get that pesky Zoom ring indicating your boss wants to talk NOW! So, you reluctantly answer the Zoom call and learn that a major shift occurred in your project, and you'll need to add another section to the report titled, “Next Steps”. You tell the boss you can include a few bullets to address the request, however, the boss says she needs a thoroughly vetted chapter (yes, CHAPTER!) addressing Next Steps and the deadline for the report has been extended to 8am Monday morning to give you enough time to work on the additional chapter over the weekend. On ending the call, your heart sinks – you trusted your boss to honor your get-away time. And now you don't know what to do next.We spend a lot of time “thinking about” our expectations. However, we don't spend much time “evaluating” our expectations – whether they are realistic based on the circumstances (including the people) we are dealing with currently. So, as we want things to work out based on what is in “our head”, disappointment usually awaits around the corner.This webinar addresses how four Bible characters redirected their expectations to make life better. They each started out looking to the world to meet their expectations, but ultimately found a much better path.
