Whidbey Island has been my home for 43 years, and each year I appreciate it more and more.

We live in a vibrant community, and surrounded by nature and beauty. Who could ask for more.

With 35 years experience selling Real Estate with Dalton Realty, I take pride knowing I have helped my clients find just the right place, and make the right choices to have their homes sell. The biggest complement is when they refer me to their friends and family, that is when I know I did something right. I have consistently been among the top sellers in my office, and I attribute this success to listening, and really hearing what you have to say, being enthusiastic, and going the extra distance. Experience and knowledge has helped, and the willingness to work hard. You have someone you can trust to work for you. I love giving back to this special community whenever able especially through Hearts and Hammers.

Let me help you when you are ready.

The traits of good leaders and how you can gain skills for success on any career path

S

uccessful leaders have the skills to guide organizations on the right path.

Such men and women are often the first up for promotions, and routinely relied on for critical projects. Solidifying your own leadership qualities can be just what you need to land a great job and start climbing the corporate ladder.

Good leaders often share a key array of skills. The following are some of the qualities that make strong workplace leaders:

Communication

Being able to communicate effectively with all of the people in your work environment and beyond is one of the most essential leadership skills you can possess.

Honest communication can build trust and being open to feedback can ensure that everyone is working toward a common goal. Effectively communicating means knowing when to speak and when to listen.

Self-management

It can be challenging to manage or oversee others if you can’t effectively take charge of your own tasks.

Being able to self-manage involves gaining control and prioritizing goals and actions. However, it also extends to being able to manage emotions, recognize weaknesses and strengths and focus attention where it’s needed.

Integrity

Great leaders are trusted by others. Consistently

STAY CONNECTED. your local news, in print and online.

acting with decorum and respect and delivering on your promises will inspire others to trust you. Stick to your core beliefs and values.

Confidence

Effective leaders have the confidence to make decisions and stand by them.

Note that there is a fine line between assertive confidence and being boastful or cocky.

It may take a little while to develop the right balance that encourages others to

support your efforts.

Delegation

Delegating tasks is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a quality consistently found in strong leaders. Being able to delegate means you have the confidence in others to share responsibilities based on their skill sets. Delegating also promotes teamwork and lets others know you’re not afraid to share success.

Accountability

Leaders make mistakes

just like everyone else.

Owning your mistakes like you own accomplishments is a good trait to have. Placing blame elsewhere when it’s not warranted can diminish others’ trust in you, while taking blame when it’s due will only increase that trust in you.

Leadership skills are valued in all walks of life.

Honing such skills can benefit professionals as they look to accomplish their goals and advance their careers.

Learn effective ways to alleviate stress to avoid burnout Stress affects everyone at some point in their lives and does not discriminate based on gender, nationality, ethnicity, economic status, or age. The American Institute of Stress says jobrelated stress costs businesses millions of dollars each year due to unanticipated absences. In fact, work is the foremost source of stress for many adults.

Although not all stress is bad and stress responses can motivate people to perform more effectively, repeated stress is a problem. The National Institute of Mental Health says routine stress that becomes chronic can suppress immune system functions, disrupt digestion, adversely affect sleep, and cause abnormal changes in reproductive systems.

People who have chronic stress are often prone to frequent and severe viral infections, like colds and the flu.

Repetitive stress may be the most difficult to recognize because it often becomes a part of daily life.

Managing stress and anxiety involves finding techniques that work for each individual. While not every

approach works for everyone, the following are five effective means to managing stress.

1. Exercise: The American Psychological Association says research continues to confirm the benefits of exercise in regard to combatting stress. Regular exercise has long-term benefits, but even a 20-minute exercise session during a stressful time can produce an immediate effect that lasts a few hours.

2. Deep breathing: Mindful breathing can be effective and only takes 10 minutes. Men and women battling stress can sit in a comfortable position with their eyes closed and imagine themselves in a relaxing place while slowly breathing in and out.

3. Take a break: Removing oneself from a stressful situation for a little while can be helpful. A brief break of 15 to 20 minutes can provide a sense of calm.

4. Cognitive-behavioral therapy: Harvard Medical School defines cognitivebehavioral therapy, or CBT, as a process of changing unhealthy thinking in order to change emotions.

Prolonged stress can take a toll on the body.

5. Support network: Therapists will identify negative thinking patterns Simply having someone to and help patients learn to talk to can help tame stress. automatically replace them People should surround with healthy or positive themselves with others they trust who are good listeners. thoughts.

These can be friends, fam-

ily members or professional therapists. Talking oneself through stressful situations can provide relief.

Stress is a growing problem that can adversely affect one’s health in various ways.

Relieving stress involves identifying the stressor and taking a proactive approach before symptoms of stress worsen.

Many notable women have helped to influence history Women continue to blaze trails in the 21st century, influencing world events, politics and businesses near and far.

In the United States, more women were elected to Congress in 2018 than in any other point in history.

In 1916, Jeannette Rankin became the first woman to hold a seat in the House of Representatives, and today there are 110 women serving in Congress. And such progress is not exclusive to the United States. The World Economic Forum says 56 of the 146 nations studied have had a female head of government in the past 50 years.

Females have also grown in their high-priority roles in the business sector. In 2017, Fortune magazine reported there were 32 female CEOs leading companies such as General Motors, PepsiCo and Lockheed Martin.

Throughout history, many women have made notable impacts in their

communities and on society. The following are just a handful of women whose accomplishments are worthy of celebration.

• Millicent Farrett Fawcett: This powerful leader campaigned for women’s suffrage in 1866 at the tender age of 22, leading the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies.

Her goal was realized 61 years later.

• Marie Sklodowska Curie: This Polish-born scientist founded a new science of radioactivity, which would have a sizable impact on the treatment of cancer. Curie also was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.

• Ruth Law: Despite Orville Wright refusing to teach her to fly, Law learned to be a pilot in the early 20th century. At 28, she beat the cross-country flight record with a 590-mile flight from Chicago to Hornell, N.Y., and later inspired Amelia Earhart.

• Ada Lovelace: This gifted mathematician is considered to be the first computer programmer in the early days of computers.

• Valentina Tereshkova: In June 1963, cosmonaut Tereshkova became the first woman in space. Despite a lack of formal flight training, Tereshkova was selected for the space program due to her skills as an amateur parachutist.

• Oprah Winfrey: Winfrey’s rise from poverty to the status of household name and billionaire mogul is a true rags-to-riches story.

Nancy Pelosi: • Congresswoman Pelosi became the first and thus far only female to serve as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

She is the highest-ranking female elected official in U.S. history.

These are just a handful of the many influential women who have shaped history.

WHIDBEY IN BUSINESS 2019 Learn how to be more assertive in the workplace Gender equality in the professional arena has come a long way in the 21st century. But while great strides have been made over the last two decades, women still face challenges unique to females as they look to establish themselves pro-

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, women still earn roughly 80 percent of what men are paid in the same positions.

too aggressive, a pressure not often faced by men.

Assertiveness is an art for both genders, and women can take steps to be more assertive without giving the impression they’re ruffling feathers.

• Be confident in your speech. It is easy to fall into “weaker language” habits when advocating for an idea. If unsure about the reaction to a proposal, you might say, “I think this is a good idea” or “I believe this will impart change.”

More assertive language is to simply stand behind the point: “This is a good idea.” Confidence can go a long way.

• Allow people to disagree. It is acceptable for others to disagree with you. This can lead to discussion and an opportunity to present evidence why something should be done in a certain way. It also enables you to point out the strong points in their argument. Listening to all ideas can sway people in your favor, even if they

don’t necessarily agree with all you believe in.

• Be proactive and future-oriented. This is expecially pertinent when asking for raises or promotions. Explain to a boss how you respect yourself and that your work merits the right compensation.

Point out clearly defined future goals and successes you’ve had that warrant consideration for higher pay.

• Don’t fear conflict.

Conflict doesn’t have to be confrontational, especially when respectable language is used and everyone is allowed to voice their opinions. Conflict can inspire great change. And remember, while you need to have solid relationships with coworkers, they do not have to be your best friends.

Assertiveness in the workplace can help female professionals achieve their goals and showcase their value.
