Diversify Your Organizational Outreach

December 16, 2020

Whether recruiting new staff members or trying to reach out to under-represented communities as consumers, how should spas and resource partners break out of their bubble and incorporate diversity into those efforts?

Diversity and Inclusion Is Good for Business

December 16, 2020

Traditional hiring and recruiting practices often focus on credentials instead of skills, which means talented individuals who can successfully contribute to companies can be excluded from the process. However, there are several diverse groups–including veterans, people with disabilities, formerly incarcerated individuals and young people who have not completed postsecondary education–who could help address this talent gap.

Dr. Bryan K. Williams: Be a Mountain Climber: Key Tips to Overcome Any Barrier

September 14, 2023

This session will review the mindset and behaviors necessary to effectively address both professional and personal barriers. Special emphasis will be on 10 proven tips to take control of your efforts and transcend any obstacles in your path.

Pulse: You talk about personal barriers and professional barriers. Are the same behavior changes needed to overcome both types?

Dr. Bryan K. Williams: Absolutely! One of the keys to addressing and overcoming barriers is to understand the importance of prioritizing yourself. For those of us in the service industry, it may seem like an oxymoron to serve oneself, but that is exactly what self-care is meant to do. As you become more proficient, respected and accomplished in your professional (and personal) roles, people will ask for more and expect more. More of your energy. More of your time. More of your advice. More. More. More. Without putting up healthy barriers, you WILL feel pulled in 1,000 directions, which leads to burnout. A former colleague once told me no one is going to be an advocate for my schedule more than me. He told me that when I was in my 20s, and I didn’t believe him. Now, I’m in my 40s and thoroughly appreciate his sage advice. Proactively carve time out for yourself, and establish healthy barriers SO THAT you can serve others with your whole heart.

Earthing

Grounding, or Earthing, is defined as placing one’s bare feet on the ground whether it be dirt, grass, sand or concrete (especially when humid or wet). When you ground to the electron-enriched earth, an improved balance of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system occurs.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is treatment that results in permanent hair removal. Electrolysis is a treatment whereby a fine needle (wire filament or probe) is inserted into a hair follicle, and an electric current (galvanic and/or radio frequency) is passed down the needle to destroy the hair follicle so that it can no longer produce new hair.
