I recently had to explain what the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) to a group of managers.

One important thing to remember is-Just because you can't see the disability does not mean it's not there! Many people already know this, but it's helpful to have trainings to remind managers and employers how to handle certain situations with empathy and understanding, while staying professional. 

In addition, MANY EMPLOYEES are affected and don't even realize it!

  Brain Breaks Dancing the stress away...Does it really work? Taking a brain break and dancing to an upbeat song can be a rejuvenating experience, offering a regrshing break from your daily demands. Picture yourself in the midst of a hectic workday, feeling the weight of deadlines and responsibilities. With an overwhelming sense of the need to recharge, you decide to take a quick break. You put on your favorite upbeat song, the rythm pulsating through your body as you let go of tension and stress. With each beat, you feel your energy levels rise, and soon you find yourself moving to the music, letting the cares of the day slip away. I tried taking a brain break last week, in the middle of the day when I found the tension rising into my shoulders and neck. I knew I needed a break, and lucky for me I have my own office!
