It’s that time of year again when we’re inclined to turn over a new leaf. Most Americans make a New Year’s resolution; however, the majority of us lose our way in only a matter of weeks. In this segment from the January 11th Sacramento & Co. airing, I talk about the value of making resolutions at the start of the year and what some of the most common goals for 2010 are. I was fighting a head cold, getting used to new braces and operating on just a few hours of sleep in case you’re thinking that I look like I’m in need of a fresh start. The year is going much better now. Onward!

I was inspired by the Supreme Court nomination of Justice Sotomayor to talk about empathy. To my mind, empathy as an emotional competency is misunderstood and has become code for something else. Often it’s confused with sympathy. Today’s segment addresses the differences and how empathy can be a valuable tool in the workplace.[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed.

How many times have you started eating chips or cookies from a bag and before you know it they’re gone? Mindless eating happens all the time, but if we bring some awareness to it — even just some of the time — we can regain control over our eating and our waistline.[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed.
