askamanager - my manager shows up while I'm having chemotherapy to talk about work

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) to explore new and nerdy connections to the scripture for Reign of Christ, also known as Christ the Queen/King/Monarch, which falls on November 20th this year, including our deep dive into models of leadership! The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here. We talked about mentioned our episode this year for Good Shepherd Sunday (AKA: the 4th Sunday of Easter) with Polly Festa, last year's episode for Reign of Christ diving into Pose and Ballroom Culture with Rev. Kelsey Brown, and this year's episode for the 19th Sunday after Pentecost on criminal (in)justice with Professor Sally Frank. Also, Emily mentioned Does the Dog Die, which is a great resource for content notifications (CNs) before watching a movie and Kay mentioned Ask A Manager, which is a great resource for tricky situations. CN: we talk about Transgender Day of Remembrance when discussing the Gospel reading.

When most stroke survivors go home, that's not the end of recovery or therapy. They often get to go to an outpatient facility a few times a week to continue making progress with PT, OT, and speech therapy. It's great when that's feasible. Unfortunately, it can mean spending several hours to attend a 45 minute session. An it may require that not only from the survivor but also from a care partner. Transportation logistics, scheduling challenges, etc. can take energy that would better spent on recovery and rehab. But do we really need to travel? The pandemic radically sped up the adoption of telemedicine and remote healthcare. Facilities added infrastructure and patients learned to use Zoom and Teams. A lot of therapy -- especially speech therapy can be done online with a remote therapist. Lenora Edwards is a Speech Language Pathologist with Better Speech. Better Speech has more than 150 therapists around the US offering remote Speech Therapy. In this episode, Lenora tells us how this works, how it helps, and when remote therapy doesn't make sense. If you don't see the audio player below, visit http://Strokecast.com/MSN/BetterSpeech to listen to the conversation.   Click herefor a machine-generated transcript Who is Lenora Edwards? Lenora Edwards is an ASHA board certified Speech-Language Pathologist. Throughout her career as a speech therapist, she has enjoyed treating and evaluating a wide variety of speech and language issues across the lifespan. Aphasia, Apraxia, and Dysarthria These are three common speech challenges after a stroke. Aphasia is trouble finding words. A person has all their thoughts, feelings, and smarts, but they just can't access the vocabulary to express themselves. They're not dumb, and they still have all their intellectual capability and processes. They just can't use words. In some cases, they can understand things fine; in others, they lose the ability to understand words, too. Sometimes they can read and write. Sometimes those functions break. Apraxia is a challenge of getting the words in the right order. Once you can access your words, and pull them off a metaphorical shelf, you still need to chain them together into sentences and paragraphs to communicate with other people. Dysarthria isn't a language issue itself; it's a speech issue. Dysarthria happens when we have trouble with the mechanics of speech -- tongue, larynx, jaw, and lip movements for example. This is what had for a little while. My hemiparesis wasn't just my arm and leg, but also the muscles on the left side of my face and mouth. It resulted is some slurring and mild pronunciation challenges. Overall, it was one of my milder deficits at the time. Most folks thought it cleared up in a couple weeks; I continued to notice it for 6 months. One fascinating aspect of all this is just how much goes into language and communication. There are so many different ways it can go wrong, it's a wonder anyone can speak at all. Adjective Sequence We learn our first language intuitively We pick it up as a child from those around us, cultural tools, our environment, and later school. We don't learn the rules first. We learn them after we've already been using them for much of our lives. In English, adjective sequence is one of those rules. Many of us heard or read the children's books about Clifford, the big, red dog. Just saying that phrase will trigger a memory for many folks. Even if this is the first time you've heard about Clifford, you understand what I mean. You may not be aware that by big, I mean house-sized, but you get the point. If I mention Clifford, the red, big dog, it seems wrong. And it is because in English (in the US, at least), size adjectives come before color adjectives. That's the rule. When did I learn this? Last year. Seriously. I never knew this was a rule before, but I "knew" it was a rule. I knew it intuitively from hearing and speaking the language for 50+ years. I think that's the experience most people have. It's one of the reasons language is so fascinating. Two sentences adhering to the core rules of grammar with all the same words come into our awareness, and one of them is simply wrong. And we may not know why. But we know it. Adjective sequencing is an interesting topic. You can read more about it at Grammarly. Emojis! English is a phonetic language. We build our words with letters and letter combinations that make sounds that align with the sound of the words when we speak. We can create any written word with just 26 symbols. Other languages are symbolic. Characters may not represent a sound, by a symbol. Combining symbols and impressions of images and concepts is how to create words. Many languages from Asia are primarily symbolic languages. Learning to "spell" words is more complex, if you can even call it spelling. Language is continuing to evolve, though. Over the past 30 years, we've seen the definite increase in symbolic elements coming into our written communication. For example : ) Using the keyboard to create symbols from letters grew rapidly in the online communities of the late 80s and early 90s. Gradually, we started to see Emojis, or dedicated symbolic characters come into the mainstream of communication, to the point where we now have hundreds of them.

I think we all could use a little pick-me-up of happiness right now. One small step toward that, I'm changing up our usual biz and tech headlines today. On this episode, we're talking through eight happy headlines!  We're also diving into that viral Ask A Manager reader submission, "the new hire who showed up is not the same person we interviewed" - a WGT must-read!

In this episode, I discuss the little-known holiday, Boss's Day, which comes around every October 16th.  I talk about the origins of the holiday, how to celebrate it, and how to determine if your boss is worth celebrating. In this episode I referred to two articles: Boss's Day is a Crock and We Need to Kill It off by Alison Green on Ask A Manager: https://www.askamanager.org/2019/10/bosss-day-is-a-crock-and-we-need-to-kill-it-off.html And I discussed Zenger and Folkman's (2014) findings in The Skills Leaders Need at Every Level in Harvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/2014/07/the-skills-leaders-need-at-every-level?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+harvardbusiness+%28HBR.org%29 If you enjoyed this episode, please consider subscribing and tell others who might benefit from this podcast.

Sometimes the lines get blurred when you've worked somewhere for years but as staff we need to be mindful of the things we do, say and also tolerate. I know getting paid is the basis of working but enduring certain work environments are not worth the money. No one should work somewhere, where their safety is threatened and their mental health is destroyed. I am a surviver of workplace retaliation harassment. I never thought at 25 years old I would have to sit in front of a Committee and describe the poor work conditions and the verbal abuse I have survived for 5 years. Why did I stay if things were so bad? I stayed because the harassment didn't begin as aggressive, it began as small ask's and suggestions. It began as me thinking my managers and supervisor had my best interest at heart but they didn't. If you are a survivor of workplace harassment or are currently going through harassment please share your story. I know each situation varies but don't be afraid to tell someone, I have been blessed with having friends and family members who I told my experiences too. I'm happy to have learned about stories such as Anita Hill and numerous former New York City Council employees who have shared their experiences with me. I hope I told this story as clearly as possible, as doing so I've realized that I'm not 100% over what took place. I implore anyone who is a manager or supervisor to treat staff with kindness, workplaces get intense and people come with attitudes. But there's nothing more heartbreaking then having to endure workplace abuse. Please share, comment and rate this episode! Thank you for stopping by and I'll chop it up with you all next week.

The desire for hand-me-down furniture has evaporated due to taste, economics, or simple lack of space, as rents rise and living spaces shrink. More young people are leaning into the rental or sharing economy — owning less of everything and renting and sharing a whole lot more. The popular workplace-advice site Ask A Manager uploaded a salary survey on how much people get paid. More than 12,000 respondents have answered the survey to date. We're all business. Except when we're not.

Jada is joined by her own manager, Bustle's Managing Editor Amanda Chan, to discuss how they got to where they are today and how much things have changed during their time in media. We then turn to Alison Green of Ask A Manager to get straight answers on our most puzzling work problems and Marlee Grace, author of How to Not Always Be Working: A Toolkit for Creativity and Radical Self-Care, to address that age-old work-life balance question.

Why’d You Push That Button is back for season 3, and our first episode is a relatively serious one. Vox’s Kaitlyn Tiffany and I catch up on our summers and then dive into everyone’s favorite social media platform: Twitter. We need to discuss tweets. Are they worth deleting, or should we preserve our limited-character history? Who needs to worry about their tweets? What happens if a potential employer searches your Twitter? What will they find? Kaitlyn and Ashley reflect on their tweet history, and we take it to other users and experts. First, they talk to Max Read, an editor at New York Magazine, and then they chat with Brianna Wu, a woman who ran for Congress this year and was previously a target of Gamergate. Then they talk to Alison Green of the Ask A Manager website / book / podcast universe. (She is Ask A Manager!) And they wrap the show chatting with Mark Graham, director of the Wayback Machine, which attempts to archive the web. It’s true: you could think you deleted a tweet only to discover someone else on the internet has already saved it for you. A truly spooky possibility in the spirit of Halloween.

In GBA 344 we get even better acquainted with Rita. She talks about how her life has changed since we last recorded a conversation, how trying to work as a freelancer in the arts can affect your mental health, the relationship between trying to make things for yourself and trying to make money to pay rent and bills, her different experiences of day-jobs and so much more. Recorded just before I moved to Lancaster - partly due to the difficulty of trying to be a freelance artist in London - there is a lot of cross over between our experiences and concerns as we reflect on how stress can mean that a day job can be a better way of being able to make the work you want to make (and may be better for your mental health), trying to establish your work when you are a jack of all trades and a master of some, how many great creators don't have the admin and hustling chops needed to get their work out to people and the roles of luck, privilege, power, work ethic in trying to "make it".

In this episode Kendall, rachel, and Anca Mosoiu discuss: Anca founded TechLiminal, a technology salon, on a fairly sketchy block in downtown Oakland, CA 10 years ago. Anca's been working in tech since the late 1900's (!), the dark ages of tech. Techliminal was designed as "a place where regular people can walk in off the street and learn to use tools." Her work inspired some folks to volunteer to help with TechLiminal, and it became a kind of event hub. Anca didn't have management experience before she started up TechLiminal, she learned most of what she knows about managing volunteers from other local organizers. Volunteers are great, but they need to be motivated by intrinsic means. It's important to make sure they feel important and needed, that their work is valued. Leadership skills are much more important when your people are volunteers--it's almost 100% your inspiration that motivates them. The team composition matters much more, watch for disruptive volunteers. "Volunteering by Obligation" (people who are volunteering to fulfilling an obligation) can make things more challenging. Your own ego has to take a back seat when leading a team. Volunteers often require a lot more checking in and confirmation of the desired output. What? Anca has an anti-authoritarian streak? SAY IT ISN'T SO! What level of transparency is appropriate with your employees? Determining the balance of keeping them on track vs being open with them is very difficult. You have to be more extroverted than you might be comfortable with to make sure you ask the questions you need to ask of your team. Anca recommends the "Ask A Manager" column. https://www.askamanager.org/ A senior leader has better judgement about what matters when delivering a project, how much to take on, what to focus on. Junior leaders often try to take on too much at once. Being a leader in her professional life has helped her become more humble, less bossy. Being a good leader means you can speed up the process of picking the place for lunch! Find Anca at https://techliminal.com/ Twitter: @anca Special thanks to Mel Stanley for our theme music

You’ve heard the saying, opinions are like… armpits, right? So is advice. Everyone has them and most of them stink, especially when it comes to careers. But Alison Green has some advice about advice for you; you’ve got to separate the good from the bad, and you have to pick your battles. Today, she and Laurie talk about crappy advice, what it takes to be a great leader, and what she wishes all managers knew. Bad advice isn’t limited to careers. It all stems from a much bigger problem: we think we know what’s best for another person and their life. We’ve all had jobs, and as a result, we all have opinions about how they should be. But the truth is, most of us have trouble acting on the advice we give AND receive. Alison even has a folder full of questions asking for her advice on topics where there IS no great answer, including farting at work. Seriously. Not all advice is crappy (pun intended). Every once in a while, we get a gem that can fix a situation or even change the way we think. Alison had one such piece of advice early in her career: pick your battles. Despite it being good advice, Alison had a hard time swallowing it, and she explains why. Twenty-somethings, this is for YOU. Laurie also shares a piece of advice she got that she has patently ignored. Great leaders get where they are by filtering the good advice from the bad, and there are some key aspects they share. Drive and commitment are a given if you want to get results. But some of the other things Alison believes are required for good leadership might be a little difficult for you to embrace. While there are some great leaders, there are plenty who are lacking, and Alison shares her theory on why there are so many of them. Conflict avoidance is one of the most pervasive issues in management. People don’t want to have difficult conversations, and it leads to terrible work cultures. Alison shares a story about a difficult conversation she had to have with an employee, and you should DEFINITELY take notes on how she handled it. Do you have to be a people person to manage people? Ask 10 people and you’ll get 10 different answers because, you guessed it, we all have our own advice to give. But if you want GOOD advice, Alison wrote the book on it, Ask a Manager. She shares whether you really need to be a people person if you want to lead well. Introverts, according to Alison, you CAN be a great manager. As an employee, or even as a manager, you’ve probably come across the sense of secrecy about management. So what do managers wish you knew? Alison has some great thoughts about that, and first among those is that it’s okay for an employee to speak up. She shares when it’s appropriate and how much you should divulge. Alison’s new book, Ask a Manager, isn’t just a collection of blog posts she’s written over the years. Instead, Alison took all she’s learned and created a handbook for managers. Specifically, ‘what to say when,’ and other things that you can actually learn and apply to your daily interactions with employees. Alison gives you the language to use for awkward and cringey conversations.

"My book ASK A MANAGER is about the difficult conversations you might need to have at work during your career and how to approach them, including the specific wording to use when you do. It focuses in particular on the awkward and kind of cringey conversations that people dread the most, things like what to say if you’re allergic to your boss’s perfume, or if you made a pretty serious mistake at work, or if you lost your cool and you snapped at a coworker."

It was such a delight to chat with Alison Green from AskAManager.org about her amazing blog and to pick her brain about interviewing as a new post-grad, revamping your resumé, and switching careers. If you're a student, Millennial, or just listening to this episode at work and really wish you weren't at work, this is an episode you will get so much out of. Make sure to check the show notes so you can find out how to submit your work/career questions to Alison too. Long description: It was honestly such a dream to chat with Alison Green from Ask a Manager. As I mentioned in the episode, I read her blog religiously the year I moved to Toronto and was trying to switch careers from advertising sales to digital marketing.  Not only was it a great view into what other people have to deal with in their offices on a day-to-day basis, but she has some darn good advice! Probably the best career advice I've ever gotten. I absolutely credit Alison with helping me revamp my resumé and landing my current job. And it wasn't just a new job I got, I also increased my salary by about about $20,000 compared to the job I left in Vancouver. That's a lot of meatballs! The reason I wanted to interview Alison for this episode is because when it comes to personal finance, a big element is how much you take home. You can only save so much, so if you feel like you're stuck in a dead-end job and not making your worth, it's time to do something about it. It's definitely scary switching jobs or careers, but in my experience it can also be the best decision you could ever make. Got a Work/Career-related Question for Alison? I'm not ashamed to say it, I've totally submitted a question for Alison to answer on the blog a few years ago, and she answered it too! It was the coolest thing to get her insight into my situation, so if you want to pick her brain, I highly suggest submitting your question to Alison too.

Today’s Guest I have been a longtime reader of Alison Green's blog . To say I love it is a massive understatement. It's one of those few blogs that I really get sad about when I don't see updates in my feed...which is rare, since she's got a very active blog. I truly look forward to her posts, which are packed with management wisdom, and I recommend her every chance I get. Alison has amazing common sense, something that seems to be so rare, and I've learned so much from her. I only wish that I had discovered her blog when I had my previous company, as it would have really helped me become a better manager. The reason I was especially excited to get her on this podcast is because I know a lot of our listeners are solopreneurs, and often they have little prior experience in management. As we discuss on this episode, making the move to a management role is really challenging. And once you start bringing people onto your team, you'll need to manage them: whether they're a bookkeeper/accountant, graphic designer, video editor, or whatever. As the blogger behind Ask a Manager, Alison Green functions as the Dear Abby of the workplace, answering readers' questions daily on career, job search, and management issues. She's also the author of How To Get a Job: Secrets of a Hiring Manager and Managing to Change the World: The Nonprofit Leader's Guide to Getting Results, and the former chief of staff of a successful nonprofit organization, where she oversaw day-to-day staff management.
