The Betterment of Doing Less

Communication, Personal Development, Professional Development, Self-awareness, Team Building, WritingBy Kristy MandourJanuary 6, 2022

Oh, the pressure to be better. Being better doesn’t have to mean doing more. Being better doesn’t even require being more. More is not in the equation here. You may surprise yourself to know that striving to do less and be less allows space and grounding that is both nourishing and invigorating. For established leaders,…

How Pomodoros helped me be more present

Communication, Communication Breaks, Professional Development, Self-awarenessBy Kristy MandourApril 22, 2021

If you’re like me, you’ve been socially conditioned to despise a timer since childhood. I was a speech therapy-going little girl squirming (or more like “squiwming”) at my wobbly wooden desk in Myles elementary school as the clock seemed to fly into warped speed as I refocused my restless mind with all my might remembering…

Got the Winter Blahs?

Communication, Listening Skills, Reading, Self-awarenessBy Kristy MandourJanuary 14, 2021

There’s such an obvious tendency to fall victim to the winter blahs. The gray, the cold, and the dark can make us feel like our environment is playing mind games on us.Not cool, Mother Nature. Not cool at all. And, not so fast. Even if you’re not chomping at the bit to throw on a…

Why Boxing Yourself in May Be the Clearest Way Out

Communication, Creativity, Personal Development, Self-awareness, Self-compassionBy Kristy MandourDecember 15, 2020

Remember when you were a kid and eyeing a freshly opened cardboard box had you panting with anticipation? Not for what was inside but the box itself – pure gold. The possibilities were endless. A classic, four-sided adventure, welcoming us with flaps open wide waiting for us to have at it. Funny how as we…

Getting Through Holiday Heartache

Communication, Personal Development, Self-awareness, Self-compassion, Self-empowermentBy Kristy MandourDecember 7, 2020

There are a lot of positive and uplifting posts and sentiments out there right now. And, they’re needed. Absolutely. It’s the ultimate joy of the holiday season…right? We’ve been dealing with a pandemic for what seems like a lifetime. We should have a better handle on it by now…shouldn’t we? Not so fast.  The problem…

A Go-To When You Feel Out of Control

Communication, Communication Breaks, Focus, Personal Development, Professional Development, Self-awareness, Self-compassionBy Kristy MandourNovember 5, 2020

Camped out in your head? I’m right there with you. Reminding ourselves what’s in our control and what’s not is the fastest way to feel a sense of relief and space inside and out. This exercise helps bring you back and takes two minutes. 1. Grab a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.2.…

The Two Questions to Ask Yourself

Communication, Listening Skills, Personal Development, Self-ImprovementBy Kristy MandourJuly 23, 2020

It’s easy to fly through our days in a mental fog. There’s so much going on in our immediate environment, COVID, or not. Throw in a global pandemic, and it’s even easier to be camped out in our heads roasting imaginary S’ mores by the mental fire without even realizing it. I find that having…

Judge? Who, Moi?

Communication, Creativity, Focus, Listening Skills, Personal Development, Professional DevelopmentBy Kristy MandourAugust 12, 2019

I recently attended a weekend-long seminar and each day was ten hours and filled to the brim with information, exercises, and an incredible amount of will power to shut up my ranting ego of “Been there done that.” The irony is that I spent a good part of the first day doing exactly what we…

For the Service-Minded Humans of the World

Communication, Personal Development, Professional Development, Public Speaking, Self-empowermentBy Kristy MandourMay 29, 2019

For my birthday this past November, I was gifted one of the best experiences of my life by my parents – other than the gift of life by my parents. I took part in Committed Impulse, a weekend-long intensive performance workshop in NYC that had the overall goal of helping actors, entrepreneurs, and public speakers,…

While You Were Sleeping

Communication, Movies, Personal Development, Professional DevelopmentBy Mandour-adminMarch 14, 2019

Trivia time! How much of our brain activity (decisions, emotions, actions, and behaviors) is conscious? I’m on a mission of taking back control of my mind. Whether it’s Mel Robbins asking the question of: Do you own your phone or does your phone own you? or Deepak Chopra reminding me that We are the thinker…
