It’s that time of the year again when people start to gather and ask me how to keep the peace. From my desk to yours, here it is. Repost if it resonates with you! 🧘 How to Stay CALM This Holiday Season 🧘 The holidays are a time of joy—but let’s be real, they can also bring stress, especially after a charged election season. Political differences may surface when family and friends gather. To navigate these moments with grace, remember the acronym CALM: Communicate with Care, Acknowledge Emotions, Limit Political Talk, and Make Moments of Joy. Here’s how to put CALM into action: 💬 C – Communicate with Care Thoughtfully approach conversations. Listen actively and respond without judgment. If tensions arise, foster understanding with questions like, “I’d love to hear more about why this matters so much to you,” instead of diving into debate. 💡 A – Acknowledge Emotions Validate your feelings and those of others. If a discussion gets heated, say something like, “I can see this is really important to you. Let’s take a breather and revisit later if needed.” 🚫 L – Limit Political Talk Set boundaries around political discussions and redirect to lighter topics. For example, if someone starts a heated debate, you can say, “I hear you, but let’s keep things festive tonight. What’s everyone’s favorite holiday tradition?” 🎯 M – Make Moments of Joy Focus on uniting activities—play games, cook together, or share stories. Suggest a fun group activity like a holiday movie marathon or charades, keeping the energy light and joyful. ✨ The holidays are an opportunity to reconnect and strengthen bonds, even when differences exist. By staying CALM, you create an environment of respect, understanding, and shared joy. Let’s make this season one of warmth and harmony! #HolidayHarmony #StayCALM #NegotiationTips #EmotionalIntelligence #FestiveSeason #DamaliPeterman

These are the moments that fill our hearts with warmth and create memories that last a lifetime. ✨ This weekend, make a conscious effort to prioritise these meaningful connections. Put down your phone, step away from the screens, and immerse yourself fully in the company of those who mean something to you.

𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐡é… 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲! I remember growing up with the excitement of weekends “Thank God it’s Friday” was our anthem then, just like “Saturdays are for owanbe” is echoed in every household. There's is always a family function to attend during weekends where we get to catch up with extended families and friends. Truly, weekends were the ultimate promise of rest, fun, and unforgettable memories. But now, in the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to forget the simple joy of looking forward to the weekend. After being overworked during the week, the only plan you've got is to have a good sleep 😴 However, have you thought of the weekend as a perfect time to build and refuel your connections? Do you know that the people we surround ourselves with influence our thoughts, our actions, and ultimately, our success. Being in a circle of positive, motivated, and inspiring individuals can propel us to heights we never thought possible. This is another weekend to nurture relationships. Send a message to that colleague who always has great advice, catch up with your mentor or simply go out to with someone who inspires you. Remember, success isn't just about what you know or do, it's also about who you know. What steps will you take this weekend to strengthen your network?

The Art of Unwinding: Easing Into the the Next Phase It’s here. Outside, it’s a peaceful snowy day. Inside, the fireplace crackles, casting a warm glow that feels like a hug for the soul. As we settle into the start of the next season, there’s a sense of calm—a pause before the beautiful chaos of the holiday season begins. In both personal life and work life, we often feel the pull to do more, be more, achieve more. But today, I’m reminded that slowing down is just as important as speeding up. Take the weekend to do slow it down. It’s in these moments of intentional rest that we recharge, rediscover clarity, and prepare to show up—whether for our families, our teams, or the careers we’re building. The holiday season has a way of pulling us in many directions, personally and professionally as Q4 comes to a close, but slowing down is just as important as speeding up. It’s in these quiet spaces, surrounded by warmth and love, that we find the energy to fully embrace what’s to come, and often, where we optimize productivity and fuel our best work. Get yourself ready for it. A gentle reminder to make time for yourself as the season begins. Light a fire, take a walk in the snow, or simply sit with a cup of tea and soak in the present, read a book. Unwinding isn’t just about rest—it’s about creating space to truly connect with those who matter most, including yourself. Tonight, it’s the orchestra with our girls, a magical experience to share as a family. This weekend? A restful one, as we prepare to welcome loved ones traveling in for Thanksgiving. That’s it. Wishing you all a weekend filled with calm, warmth, connection, and joy. #HolidaySeasonIsUponUs #Unwind #FamilyTime #Gratitude #MindfulLiving #WorkLifeIntegration #IntentionalLiving #RestAndRecharge #TheGoodStuff #TheStuffOfLife Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
