This week on the blog, Atiyeh Ghanbari explores the importance of making space for life at work and the simple ways to create a more balanced work environment.

I love routine. If you’re used to living more spontaneously, I can see how you might find routines to be boring. While it may seem constricting to have such a regimented day, I believe my routine is a big part of why I now feel the most freedom and peace I’ve felt in my whole career. This week on the blog, certified leadership coach, Atiyeh Ghanbari, explores how your daily habits can help or hurt your leadership skills.

I’ve always believed saying a sincere and heartfelt “thank you” at work and at home is so important to show my true appreciation.

I argue that saying these 2 words is even more important in these difficult times when we’re more stressed and anxious. This week on the blog, certified coach + leadership consultant, Atiyeh Ghanbari, explains the importance of leaders saying thank you.
