On tomorrow's Ag Business Episode we are featuring a high school senior who has developed a very active farm sitting business and has actually trade marked her business name.  I love the idea of a farm sitting business for a person who does not have their own farm or livestock yet, but who wants to work in this field.  But, when are you ready to take care of other people's livestock, and how do you make the business successful?  Well, I previously interviewed a farm sitter who gave us the run down on this business, and I thought it would be perfect to bring this interview with Lauren Dixon back for you today.

For the first time in history, our workforce is composed of four generations. These generations bring with them their strengths, weaknesses, beliefs, and values. With that in mind, it's not unusual to experience some clashes in the work area. However, these can be easily remedied. Instead of labelling people from another generation as different from you, look for the knowledge that you can gain from them. In this episode, I have an interesting and insightful conversation with Lauren Dixon. She is a Career Coach and Host of the Work Upgraded Podcast. Lauren shares the impact of working together in a multigenerational team. These diverse generations are composed of the Baby Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Z and Gen X. Also, whether we admit it or not, we have assumptions about each group.  We may see boomers as technophobes, millennials maybe seen as lazy, Gen Zs have a short attention span and Gen Xs are assumed to be slackers in the workplace. These assumptions actually affect how we communicate and connect with people at work. Despite having these general stereotypes, Lauren has noticed a lot of good things from these multi-generations. Boomers are excellent in phone communications, millennials started the movement for work-life balance and mental health, Gen Z cares about social impact, and Gen X is self-sufficient and results-oriented. Lauren also highlighted the main drivers for these generations. She mentioned that younger generations are more purpose-driven and these play a huge factor in the decision they create at work. To have a harmonious relationship in the workplace, these generations need to get rid of the assumptions and look at the other person as humans who have diverse values and ethics.  It's significant to get to know the individual as a person and not just someone from a different generation. This strategy allows us to acknowledge their communication preferences and gives us the opportunity to develop amicable relationships.  Time Stamps: Lauren's career story (01:25) How she helps people navigate career change (03:25) Stereotypes of the four generations in the workforce (08:22) Generational Identity - What is it and how it affects relationships between generations?

The Coronavirus Pandemic is undoubtedly going to change the way people and companies do business. However, communication and culture are two important factors for one of the region's most-identifiable brands and businesses. Lauren Dixon and Mike Schwabl have led the Perinton-based agency Dixon Schwabl together for over 30 years. The plan was always for 2020 to be the end of their run as CEO and President. It's part of a 15 year plan to transition leadership to Kim Allen, who will serve as CEO; and Jessica Savage, who will serve as Prsident. The two served as managing partner of communications and managing partner of account services respectively. Dixon and Schwabl will maintain ownership of the company, even though they are stepping down from the operational posts.

The CEO of Dixon Schwabl shared her thoughts on running a business through COVID-19 and her view on what business will look like moving forward...

In the latest episode of our podcast, we interview Lauren Dixon of Dixon Schwabl Advertising. The theme of our conversation is the Level Five Leadership Principle of "When In Charge, Take Charge." Along with that concept, we discuss making team members feel valued, personal accountability, when managers can become leaders, the importance of values, and more!

Statistics indicate that approximately 1% to 4.2% of women have suffered from anorexia in their lifetime, and eating disorders have the highest fatality rate of any mental illness. Eating disorders may or may not be the first reason a crisis/distress line caller is reaching out, but eating disordered behaviours might be disclosed as a significant part of the problem. Callers may express their challenges with depression, anxiety, substance usage or even relationship problems but not initially disclose they are living with an eating disorder. This could be because of shame or because they might not recognize the impact their eating is having on their mood, or that their mood is having on their eating. Call responders may have to keenly listen for cues which might indicate a connection between the caller’s high focus on weight and shape and their self-worth, or with further discussion, the caller may reveal that they have food rules which they strictly adhere to, that they severely restrict their food, or that they have binge eating or purging behaviours. In the following vignette, Lauren Dixon, therapist in the Eating Disorders and Addiction Clinic at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, will present a very enlightening and informative session on this challenging and life impacting disorder. Ms. Dixon details and describes varying types of eating disorders, the prevalence and risk factors involved in developing the condition; and offers helpful and supportive strategies for crisis/distress line responders. Questions for Further Consideration: You or someone you know has struggled in the past with an eating disorder. How do you, as a crisis/distress line responder, handle calls from an individual who is describing symptoms similar to yours who is questioning if she has an eating disorder? Many people have personal biases, beliefs and experiences with problematic eating behaviours and eating disorders which might seep into communications with callers; plus, it is often challenging when a caller expresses any concerns which are similar to your own. Remember the call is not about you or your friend but about the person at the end of the line. You are there to offer an empathetic, supportive and listening ear. Reinforce the caller with praise for reaching out about these issues, and encourage her to explore her questions further with a physician or other trusted support. You can also make recommendations of eating disorders resources in your community. If you find that this call has unsettling effects on your emotions, it might be a good idea to speak to a counselor or find someone who might be able to de-brief with you. A parent of a teen calls telling you that her child is not over or underweight but she has found evidence of secretive eating, like empty ice-cream containers and several empty boxes of cookies in her daughter’s closet. She asks you what you think is going on – what do you say? Validate the parent’s concern, finding hidden evidence of potential binge eating is understandably worrying for this mother. While you might suspect that the daughter is showing signs of bulimia remember you are not a physician and should not be diagnosing her family member. You might recommend she speak to her health professional and refer her to some websites or community supports so that she may seek further advice or diagnosis. Ms. Dixon reports there are a number of recommended treatments for eating disorders. Do you know what resources are in your community? Larger urban communities may have more readily available treatment centres for eating disorders. If you are from a smaller community, it might be helpful to explore with your training coordinator where some of your closest treatment centres might be. Make sure to have these resources readily available for easy access should such a request be put forth by a caller. Additionally, having the individual contact their physician is a good starting point. Glossary: Anorexia Nervosa (AN): having an obsession with controlling one’s eating and weight. The reason for their obsession can be a belief that by controlling their bodies they can control their lives. This obsession is usually directed at eating as little as possible. People with anorexia nervosa might binge eat and purge, but their weight is below the normal weight range for their height, age and gender. Bulimia Nervosa (BN): is characterized by cycles of binge eating and purging. This behaviour is often driven by a desire to regulate emotions, and with worries about body weight and shape. Binge eating is also often prompted by not eating enough food in other parts of the day. People with bulimia nervosa are within the normal weight range for their height, age and gender. Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Eating excessive amounts of food at one time. This might happen because they have been dieting or restricted their eating in some way – so it is a response to hunger. Or they over-eat to comfort themselves, to avoid uncomfortable situations, or to numb their feelings – an attempt to soothe themselves emotionally. Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified (ED-NOS): experiencing a mix of anorexia and/or binge eating symptoms, but do not fall neatly into one of the medical categories. (nedic.ca)
