Choice Management & Finding Harmony

  1. Choice Management & Finding Harmony Rayna Neises 25:18

This week, Rayna Neises, your host, talks with Nicole Kalil.  Nicole is a keynote speaker, coach, and podcaster.  She spent most of her professional life with a large company where she became the first woman ever promoted to Chief Development Officer.  Nicole has a passion for eliminating gender expectations and provides her insight into developing productive women within organizations.  She speaks about how to win at work, at home, and as a team.  Maintaining harmony and her different roles of mother, wife, and business owner is an ongoing challenge and time management, or what Nicole prefers to call choice management, is an increasingly important skill.  She shares the following insights:

  • Time is fixed and neutral, and therefore we are not really managing time.  Instead, we are managing the choices that we make with the time that we have.
  • You may not always have control in a situation, but you do have a choice of how you respond, what you do, and how you invest your time.
  • Think about the three E – F- F words related to getting things done:
    • Effort
    • Effectiveness
    • Efficiency
  • Multitasking costs us time.
  • Instead of trying to achieve work/life balance, think about finding harmony.
  • Be fully present, engaged, and guilt-free, right where your feet are.
  • Remember that it is never as good as it looks from the outside looking in.
Rayna Neises A Season of Caring

Rayna Neises understands the joys and challenges that come from a season of caring. She helped care for both of her parents during their separate battles with Alzheimer’s over a thirty-year span. She is able to look back on those days now with no regrets – and she wishes the same for everyone caring for aging parents.

Rayna is the author of No Regrets: Hope for Your Caregiving Season, an ICF certified coach, the host of “A Season of Caring” podcast, Positive Approach® to Care (PAC)Independent Certified Trainer and speaker who is passionate about offering encouragement, support, and resources for regret-free caring aimed at preventing family caregivers from aimlessly wandering through this important season of life.

Rayna lives on a farm in southeast Kansas with her husband, Ron, and small pack of adorable dogs. She is the baby of her family, but most would never guess that. She is a former teacher who enjoys crafts of all kinds and spending time with her grandkids most of all.
