All About The Joy

Part of owning a business is having to hire and fire people on a pretty regular basis. I'm good at it, yes even the firing part.  In this episode, I share some of my tips on how to do it and why it's not so difficult to do. The interesting part? You can apply these tips to all aspects of your life, not just work.   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy a...

The idea that social media isn't a REAL part of our everyday lives and affects us daily is a myth. How you interact with social media not only affects your business, but it also affects us personally.  It tells you a lot about who you really are in the world, and in this case, can affect how you work, feel, and function on a daily basis. Take note.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit ou...

Rejection, in all its forms, happens more often than not. Learning how to deal with rejection is a skill, something that you can master and not get derailed by.  Listen in and learn a bit about how being rejected, actually can be a plus - and always, if you look at it positively, an opportunity.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   Yo...

Since day one I have disagreed with Oprah (and others) about practicing gratitude. Being grateful has nothing to do with getting the things you want in life. But that is what people think: if they write in a gratitude journal then they will get that new car or new boyfriend they've been hoping for. I don't know where it got twisted, but that's not why you should practice being grate...

This episode talks about the link between being able to speak to each other regardless of our differences, with respect, and whether or not it's because we all lack basic manners and simple etiquette.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth  You can als...

I've talked about this subject before. The concept is well-meaning, but when you keep saying "let it go" please know, you're not doing anything at all to help the situation. Actually, you're making it worse. If you want to help, here's what you need to do...  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can no...

Practicing Self-care has become a very well-known subject. The word itself can turn people off, but this weekend, I experienced something that surprised me and made me feel such joy I just wanted to share it with everyone and also remind everyone -- finding joy and uplifting our spirit is a form of self-care. This is how I do it!  Oh, and if you want to see a clip of me skydiving - check out my bl...

People talk about having Courage -- for me, it has never been about courage and what I hope you get out of this quick chat today, is how courage may be what it seems like to you, but from someone else's perspective, it can be something completely different!   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream ve...

I write a blog every week as well on carmensuarez.com my creative site. This week as I was free writing, I came through with a list of random thoughts that made me realize how hard it is I work to be a good person. How hard do you work every day to be your best self?  Take a listen and think about it  -- I wonder if we're on the same page.  On Wednesday, I'll be broadcasting again from m...

I've been called many things, most recently The Regulator on a new Live Streaming app called HAPPS TV.  But why they call me that  and what it reflects about me, about them, about you,  is something I don't think people fully understand when it comes to branding, business and just being a friend. Check out this quick talk on strengths and weaknesses and how they are generally the same ex...

A short story - a moment of what happened to me yesterday as I was leaving an office building.  You just never know what can happen and sometimes, without even realizing it, things can always turn out to be a good thing... maybe even a blessing.   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show...

I've been away for a bit -- this episode explains why. Also, I've been having a time observing new apps, old apps and just overall social media in general. Yes, we've tweaked what the show is about, but it will always be, about how we can do better and have more joy, not less in our lives and always about positivity.   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About...

As employers we tend to forget that burn-out is a thing.  We also think that showing praise to our best employees is by giving them more and challenging work to accomplish. Actually, that may be the worst thing we can do.   Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLe...

I honestly think, if you're using a recruiter to hire your next employee and they're using automated tests as part of their process, you're doing hiring all wrong.  If you don't take the time to look for the right employee, you'll end up losing them.  Finding the right person to work for you has nothing to do with testing and everything to do with the hard work it takes to...

Most people pick a client because they just need the money. Or an Employer will hire someone who has the skills as soon as possible, but I would say, there are some other things to be very weary of when interviewing for either... here's my take.  Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share .   You can now watch the livestream version of the...

I talk about this new definition of wealth that seems to be part of the Gen Z Ethos.
