Master the Art of Reframing: 5 Steps to Change Any Situation

Have you ever wondered why certain behaviors in dementia care are called "challenging"? In this episode, we explore how to manage these behaviors using a simple and effective framework. This method can bring peace and clarity to your caregiving journey. Understanding Behaviors Dementia often magnifies normal human behaviors. What may seem challenging is usually an attempt by your loved one to communicate. Recognizing this can change your approach and improve outcomes. Introducing the PEACE Framework To address these behaviors, a repeatable framework called PEACE can be invaluable. Here's how it works: P: Person with Dementia - Focus on their immediate needs and feelings. E: Environment - Consider the setting and its impact. A: Activity - Look at the activities they are engaged in. C: Caregiver's Response - Reflect on your reactions and responses. E: Evaluate and Educate - Assess the situation and learn from it. Real-Life Example   Remember, challenging behaviors in dementia are a form of communication. By using the PEACE framework, you can better understand and respond to your loved one's needs. This approach not only makes caregiving easier but also strengthens your bond with your loved one.

What if you could begin to change your life in seven days? So many people make excuses for what they wish their health and wellness were like, but are not willing to take the plunge. Are you ready? There is no better time than the present. Look at your calendar. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Did you know that you control what goes on that calendar and how you organize your day? We get caught up in the urgency and forget what's important. So why are you letting everyone else's urgency determine your daily direction? I know all about this too well because I lived that life. And it's easy to do when you are raising five children, homeschooling them, involved in the church and community, and trying to be a wife too. Whatever fire needed to be put out got my attention. Now when you are living this lifestyle, who is really benefiting? Only the ones who need you to respond ASAP. And during all of this, your health and well-being are suffering and being sacrificed. There's no priority unless if you're lucky. Instead of living life half empty, wouldn't it feel good to live life at least half full with more joy? You have to be willing to BELIEVE!! The K.I.S.S. ~ B.E.L.I.E.V.E.! You can do absolutely anything. B - Begin to believe. This is the kick-off to what needs to happen to keep you engaged in your transition. Belief starts before your begin. E - Excavate your history. Let go of what is holding you back. Release yourself of your past mistakes. You learn from your mistakes but you do not have to buried by them. Be grateful for the lessons learned. L - Lead your day. This is where priority for you counts. Say NO when it's easy to say YES. I  - Immerse yourself in truth. Stop telling yourself lies. Recognize the truth in what is good and what is bad. Then make adjustments accordingly. E - Evaluate your direction. What do you need to do in order to get going in the right direction to reach your next step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" V - Value yourself where you are. Change takes time. So enjoy the journey. E - Execute your daily step. It's not about having a perfect day and performing to gain the acknowledgments. Your step draws you closer to what you desire for your health and well-being. BELIEVE!! You can do it! You can be healthy. You can feel great even when things are crazy. You can be hope-filled during the transformation. BELIEVE that anything is possible when everything seems impossible. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation  - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

On today’s episode, I have the absolute pleasure of hosting the incredibly wise Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith. Dr. Saundra is an internal medicine physician, an author, and a speaker who specializes in the mind, body, spirit connection. Her most recent book, 'Sacred Rest: Recover Your Life, Renew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity', is an incredible resource that shares various perspectives on the 7 types of rest we need and how rest deficits affect the whole functioning person. It's a hearty dose of cool science and how God made us, with beautiful spiritual application.  This episode feels so timely, because if there is one word I have heard come out of the mouths of people I love lately it is this: “I am so weary.” Is that you? Do you feel emotionally, spiritually or emotionally weary? Maybe even fighting off the burn out? Dr. Saundra and I talk about how we (especially as women) struggle with this area so much because of how much we wrestle with control, and she gifts us some practical ways to assess and deal with restoring your fullest self so you can live in the abundant life of Christ.  No matter how weary you are, friend, you can find rest for your soul in Jesus. Whether that’s the weariness of isolation, or being hustled by the hustle, and everything in between, God cares about you, mind, body, heart, and spirit. If we don’t address these things and ask Him to show us where we have depleted our resources and need sacred rest, then how can we engage the work we were made for? Take it a little bit at a time, friend. Dr. Saundra is testifying where God intervened in her story, and is sharing what He showed her with you. There are great resources here, friends, to press into this area. It matters because you matter. Your story matters.  I want to ask you guys for some grace on the front end because we struggled with some sound issues in this episode. It was nuts, the internet would not do its thing, and it only happened when she and I were trying to talk. Not today, Satan, not. Today. We have persevered, and I cannot wait for y’all to hear this conversation.  Resources and References: -lists of attributes of God -meditating is Biblical -His Kids Company alphabet place mat -The Body Keeps the Score -Boundaries -sermon from my church (Fellowship Bible Church) on 9/13 about how we will face trials, but God is faithful -J.I.

On the is Episosde of our s.u.c.c.E.s.s jpunrey we share withg ayou some tips on creating a a step-by-step process for how to reach your desired life. Refer to your S.M.A.R.T approach mentioned earlier. If you think concretely about what you're required to accomplish on the road to the end result, it will lead you toward your goal. Check off the steps as you achieve them. Evaluate. Keeping with the example of wanting to move to New York City, what must you do first to eventually get there? Maybe your step one is researching the industry available there to determine if your job skills will transfer. Find out what they have to offer. In today's world, you can access information about anything in a matter of seconds from the comfort of your home. Live there before you live there. Adjust. After you shift gears and institute some of the changes, you may notice some other minor things you could do to be headed more directly toward your goal. Go ahead and make the adjustments without holding back, again it is important that you evaluate, adjust your plan and take action. If you notice that the plan that you are following is not getting you close to your goal or dream, change your plan not your dream. Taking action to achieve your dreams will bring feelings of strength and incredible anticipation. Imagine how it will feel to know that you've taken the bull by the horns and are heading toward the greatest adventure of your life. Living the life you want is the ultimate objective of selfempowerment. The true gift comes when those around you feel inspired to take action because of your journey of who you are becoming as you are learning and growing. “Take a step back, evaluate what is important and enjoy life” ~Teri Garr Book a compliementary coaching session to get started on your journey to Success.

This week on the show, Chris & Chris continue the series PRESS Before You Can PLAY with the E – Evaluate with Questions. Asking the right questions up front is one of the best tools you have for finding the customer's value points. It's also one of the most overlooked. You should take plenty of time to talk to the customer and ask great questions. These questions should help you discover the value points, establish priority, and help you build a great presentation Here's the questions you need to ask during the Evaluate with Questions step of PRESS PLAY:     The “What's going on?” Question - This question makes the customer give you information that isn't prescribed or known. The customer must think about it and choose the relevant information. They will do this in the way they prefer to communicate. This will indicate their profile.   The “Ages” Questions – These questions are about age and time. You should ask the customer the age of their home and the age of the system/device/ thing you are working on. This will help bring it into your conversation and allow you to refer back later. Also, the customer may not realize the age of their home. Ask how long they've been in the home and how long they plan to stay. This will give you an idea of priority, as most people won't spend a lot of money on a home they won't be in much longer.   The Maintenance Question – If the customer does not have a maintenance membership with your company, ask “What was the date of your last maintenance and safety inspection on your system?” This will cause the customer to try to remember a date if they've had anything done to the system/device. Along with the age of the home and system/device, this will cause them to realize that it may have been quite a while since they've had anything done. This will set the stage when you come back with items that need to be done.   The “Anything Else” Question – Ask this question to get the customer thinking about issues they have that they don't know you can fix. These could be noises, odors, flickering lights, hot or cold spots, slow drains, etc. An example for electrical might be, “Have you noticed anything else with your electrical system lick flickering lights, mystery switches, plugs that fall out of outlets?”. These kinds of questions will make the customer notice these things that they've always just lived with before now.     Asking great questions is a skill that needs to be practiced. Use the questions listed above and those we share on the podcast so you can ask great questions. The Evaluation step of PRESS PLAY is critical to building value with the customer. Make sure to spend the time to do it.   https://youtu.be/Y4aBKfQJ9cI

Companies in male-dominated industries have an awesome opportunity to be competitive and innovative with a diverse team. A recent research shows that companies that embrace diversity in leadership innovate at a faster rate, increase profitability, and pride themselves in better employee engagement and retention than their competitors who have non-diverse leadership teams. Additionally, companies with diverse teams are better at problem-solving, have a broader client base and more engaged customers leading to increased revenues. Therefore, diversity is crucial for any business and there’s a huge untapped lucrative potential for those leaders who do not yet use diversity as a significant tactic for growth, innovation, and competitiveness in their companies. In today’s episode of PowerBanking, we're talking about leading teams using the LATTE Method. What is LATTE? LATTE is an acronym. It's a negotiation framework. We’re going to learn how top leaders can rely on diverse, integrative teams that combine the collective competencies of men and women, people of different ethnicities, older and younger to grow their organizations and increase profit margins using the LATTE Method. If you are a leader in your organization, who self-profess and say, “I'm not a good negotiator,” here's an excellent opportunity to find ways every day, whether it's within one team or across departments, to collaborate more efficiently and effectively to help you accelerate your results. Valuable Quotes “Negotiation is like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.” “To find a solution that works for everyone, oftentimes, it's when we think outside of the box. That's where the magic happens. That's where we find a solution that we can replicate in different areas of the business.” 5 Topics Covered in LATTE Negotiation Framework for Teams L - Look at the details A -Anticipate challenges T - Think about the walk-away points T- Talk it through E- Evaluate options [02:55] Negotiation is not only sitting at a table, with a contract, hammering out details [03:20] Negotiation is as simple as coordinating a meeting, scheduling projects and brainstorming ideas [04:00] Five Points in the LATTE Method for Teams 1. L- Look at the details [04:10] Think about the problem are you solving [04:20] When people come to a table for a negotiation, there is an exchange of value 2. A- Anticipate the challenges [04:30] One person wins and one person loses myth demystified [05:00] When negotiating, the goal is to work together, collaborate efficiently, and communicate effectively, to reach an ultimate goal. [5:20] Put all the issues on the table and then look at your areas of potential agreement 3. T- Think about your walk-away points [05:30] Time is money -- understand when you need to regroup or bring in a mediator so that you're not wasting time [06:10] if you spend too much time solving a problem your competitors can offer that solution to your customers and you can lose tons of money 4. T- Talk it through [06:20] Bring the right people or the decision-makers to the table 5. E- Evaluate options [7:10] There's more than one way to reach a solution to a problem – let the teams come in with a frame of reference [7:30] Find a solution that works for everyone [7:40] When you think outside of the box, you find a solution that you can replicate in different areas of the business [7:55] Summary for using the LATTE method for teams Episode Episode Sponsors: Anchor.fm: The easiest way to make a podcast.

The medical and stroke industries can be complicated places. They have arcane jargon and complicated processes. And that's important. The detailed knowledge and industry shorthand helps folks within the field communicate quickly and clearly with each other to provide the best care possible. It's just different from what non-medical folks deal with. But is it really all that different? What I'm finding in my personal experience is that it has a lot more in common with my own field of Adult Learning & Development, sales skills training, and brand evangelism. For example, the corporate training field and the PT, OT, and Speech fields are all focused on helping folks develop or relearn skills and abilities. We're all working to rewire the brain so the learner/patient can do things they couldn't do before. The therapists rely more on rote memory and process repetition than the corporate trainers due, but it seems like there's an opportunity to study how best practices in each field can help the other. The ADDIE model is the traditional way instructional designers build learning content.It also applies to the way medical teams put together treatment plans for rehab. A -- Analyze the opportunity. What are we working with? What do we want to accomplish? What are the current capabilities of the learner/patient? What resources/limitations do we have to work with? How much time do we have? D -- Design the program. Based on the analysis, what sort of program is most appropriate? When and where will we deliver it? What tools will be part of it? What content will we include? D -- Develop the content/plan. Assemble the content and build the list of exercises and procedures. Who does what when? Build out the details of the plan I -- Implement the plan. Execute the training or treatment plan. E -- Evaluate the results. Did we achieve the results we set out to achieve? Did the different elements work the way we wanted them to? What did the learner/patient think? What worked well and what didn't work well? What should we do differently in the future? It's not just the training model that overlaps with the medical field. It's also the sales model. My OT the other day talked about "affordances." An affordance is what something does for you. For example a chair might be made from metal or vinyl and that could be the physical description. That's not the important part, though. What really matters is what the chair affords you the opportunity to do -- to sit and rest. I had never heard that term before, but in sales we talk about the same concept -- benefits. When selling computers, I teach people not to focus the the processor and RAM. That stuff doesn't matter. Focus instead on what that product does for the customer. How does it benefit them? How does it make there life better? How does it help them solve a problem or make their life better? That's the stuff that actually matters. The specs just support that. When it comes to therapy, I don't really care about my finger extensors. What I care about is being able to open my hand and release my grip on command. I don't care about my quads or my hamstrings. I care about being able to get myself someplace quickly, easily, safely, and painlessly. I care about what those muscles afford me the opportunity to do. I care about how they benefit me. Facebook I recently launched a Strokecast page on Facebook. You'll find reposts of these episodes and blog posts there. I'm also publishing Facebook Live videos there for more off the cuff discussion. Check it out here and click the Like button. Here's a sample: https://www.facebook.com/StrokeCast/videos/241473476461024/ Hack of the week One challenge when I'm I'm running errands or getting coffee is that I have only one functional hand, and it's usually holding my cane. If I need to pick something up, where do I put my cane? I picked up a cane clip that I move from cane-to-cane depending on my mood. You can find the one I uses here (affiliate link). It makes it easy to hang my cane on my belt, waist band, or even pocket so I can pick up my coffee at the counter and carry it to my table without dropping my cane in the process. Where do we go from here? How does your experience with the medical industry align with practices in your own career? Let us know in the comments here. If you use a cane, check out cane clip options. Visit the Strokecast page on Facebook and give it a like. Don't get best...get better.

She explains practically how to handle these difficult topics with your child, and why you shouldn’t wait until the middle school years to have these discussions!
