Self Care

When our team developed the 2020 newsletter topic last November, we never could have imagined the reality of our current situation and how timely the topic of Self Care would be.
We hope the contributions and insights from our team here at TLG will be useful to you. As we shelter in place, this is a time to remember to care for ourselves so that we can be there for our families, our community, and our organizations. We truly are in this together.

Perspective from a Coach
by Patricia Thompson, Ph.D.
TLG Senior Consultant
Like most people in the world, my life has been totally upended by Covid-19. From homeschooling my first grader, to canceling a Spring Break vacation and a trip up to Canada to visit my mom for Easter, to spending the majority of every day inside our house, this wasn’t exactly the April that I had anticipated.
I’ve also been responding to a lot of questions about how to cope-

Self Care- Writing the Book
by Tino Mantella
President & CEO TLG
As the CEO I always have the opportunity to write a piece for the newsletter. My first reaction to self-help, today, was to think about a book that I have read in the past that would describe how people are doing and feeling. My personal epiphany is that there are no books that describe what is happening today. WE ARE WRITING THE BOOK. How we personally and collectively respond to this crisis will, in many ways, define each of us and our generation

Esther Perel How's Work
Recommended by Hope Sonam
TLG Vice President Talent Solutions
I have been a fan of Esther Perel’s work since her TED talk went viral a few years ago. As a psychotherapist and relationship expert, she believes that the quality of our relationships is directly connected to the quality of our lives. I devoured seasons 1-3 of her podcast called “Where should we begin?” which explores the quality of personal relationships as heard through ‘eavesdropping’ into real life couples counseling sessions in her office. I have since been introduced to her new podcast entitled “How’s Work?” which, as you might imagine, focuses on the relationships we have in the workplace.
The format of the show is similar in that in each episode, Perel counsels a pair of individuals who work together—coworkers, superiors and subordinates, business partners, etc. and addresses issues in their relationships based on the human qualities each individual brings to the relationship and workplace. Communication, conflict style, trust, psychological safety and culture are all themes of the show. I love this podcast because rather than reading a book about ‘leadership style’ or ‘how to lead’ or ‘how to be your best at work’, this provides real life case studies and characters that you can see yourself in or recognize dynamics that relate to your workplace to better understand relationships and how critical they are in the quality of your work life.
