hello clients, prospective clients, and business alliance members. focusing more on emotional health development definitely pays off and warrants coordinated attention. this practice fits into a client-centric, concierge health + financial wellness program.
rather than focusing exclusively on money awards, corporate human resource departments must permit scheduling fluidity and facilitate user-definition. in layman's terms, the statement means ease up on employee time control. extra monetary awards work generally well, but what about taking a traditional workday off consistently to experience quality family time?
nearly every friday, blaine, our 21 month old son, and i enjoy our time together. we have a late-start morning feeling the warm sun pour through the window. timed-set coffee from last night fills the kitchen air, as we prepare our morning.
with a quick diaper change, we head off to his playroom, usually a milk cup in hand, and just hang out. he will tell me when he wants some breakfast, or sometimes, he just has to sit down at the table. we enjoy our healthiest breakfast all week with oatmeal, flax, fruit, laughter, and sunshine.
we may leave for the office or take turns saying hello around the partition between the solarium and his playroom. a business-funded desktop computer sits outside his playroom, which often doubles up as his multimedia toy. integrating business tools into the work and home environment pays dividends through flexibility but requires discipline knowing when to turn it off.
when we pull into my office's parking garage, his amazement follows the light rays as they dim out with the closing garage door. he loves walking on his own and insists that he walk to the door. his insistence needs a minor push when we get to the elevator, but he enjoys the gravitational push.
watching my son conquer his fear with the elevator over a time lapse makes me feel confident. we both took on something together difficult, but when it came down to deliver, he did it alone. his self-reliance and mental fortitude training will affect his future lifestyle as much as a trust fund, if not considerably more.
eventually, we head back to the house and get some lunch before nap time. my wife and i have a shift change sometime after nap time. time to go back to the office and close down.
feeding his global perspective, we often talk about his peers in palestine, lebanon, syria, and subsaharan africa. without detailing violence committed against his peers, we talk about each child as an equal with a name and loving family. foreign affairs take new meaning when evaluated through your child's eyes.
create enjoyable quality family time! you often do not get a second chance...
