The reality is some days rock, some days are so-so, and some days really suck. For the days that really suck, there are questions to help make it suck less. Jae Ellard has spent the last decade working with people who feel stuck in some way, dealing with work-life balance struggles, stress overload, communication challenges, distraction, and disengagement.

Beyond Tips & Tricks: Mindful Management will help you understand your ability as a manager to intentionally create a connected, conscious, engaged organization. Regardless of how you feel about the topic of balance, the impact of imbalance has become one of the core issues most managers face today. Mindful management explores the topic as the confluence for how people engage at work, combining strategies and guided conversations to address work-life balance, workload balance and energy balance.

Is it possible to have balance and success? That is what Stop & See: Developing Intentional Habits is about: your ability to consciously choose to create a life that is both balanced and successful through understanding the habits that support or sabotage your desired outcomes. This book will explore why you do what you do and look at the anatomy of a habit so you can create intentional habits that support your meaning of balance and success.

Stop & Listen: Practicing Presence is about working with your choices to create deeper engagement. People talk about this concept quite a bit, but what does it really mean to be present? Is it a feeling, a perception, a way of life, a state of mind, all of the above? This book will explore what it means to be present at work and how your choices can help you create deeper engagement with your environment, others, and yourself. Through this content, you will understand your ability to intentionally create deeper presence in your life.

If you are like most people, you feel out of balance some of most of the time. And like most people, you are seeking a way to reduce stress, create joy, and have meaningful connection between the roles, relationships, and responsibilities in your life. Using mindful awareness, this reflective workbook introduces The Awareness Framework®, a tool to help you see your behavior and the impact it has on creating the type of work-life balance you desire. Short and direct, this book teaches the skill of awareness and how it applies to values, communication, stress, time, and boundaries.

Most stress can be traced to communication - or a lack of it and the conversations we are NOT having or are too scared to have about what we value, and our boundaries to uphold those values. Just like balance, stress means different things to different people. Jae Ellard has spent the last decade working with people who feel stress in some way. Jae wants to shift their relationship with stress, but they just don't know where to start. You will experience stress, that is just life. So why not become more mindful and proactive about how you manage stress when it comes around?

How do you know when you are out of balance? Jae Ellard believes that balance has nothing to do with gender, geography, income, education, or job type - you don't even need a job to feel out of balance! Rather it's about the conversation we have (or don't have) about how these issues impact life. Drawing on thousands of conversations over a decade, Jae takes listeners through five simple truths about work-life balance that can liberate any person seeking to create easy joy and meaningful engagement between the interconnected roles and responsibilities that make up life.
