The Three P’s
‘Planes, ‘Ports, ‘Plains – I love alliteration. What does stress have to do with those 3P’s? Aside from the fact that I used to love airPLANES and airPORTS and know quite a few lovely chaPLAINS? STRESS! In the midst of this pandemic, stress and anxiety about air travel has gone way up.
Never before had I thought of those 3 things being UNITED. (Pun intended) Ok, yes I know airplanes are at airports. But are you like me? Did you know airlines and airports have chaplains?
Because a dear sister-friend is an interfaith chaplain at a local-area hospital, I’ve only associated chaplains with hospitals.
Stress Calming Practitioners
In a USA Today article, Robin Hancock, a nature meditation guide at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport said her chaplaincy goal is to provide people with “a piece of calm in whatever storm is going on at that moment” and leave them with a tool to use the next time they’re feeling overwhelmed.
As I read that article, I said “Wait a minute! That’s my goal too!” As The Calming Communications Coach, my goal is to give you tools and a safe place during times of stress at work.
The Stress of It All
COVID-19 related concerns about J&J vaccinations, school openings, mask-wearing, the economy, coronavirus deaths, and survivor guilt add up to a lot of collective stress.
This stress is eroding our global emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
So what does this have to do with you?
As I type this, I asked myself why am I writing this? Why am I sharing this? I realize it’s because this article reminds me I love to serve. I am here for leaders and professionals who are stressed and need:
- an impartial listening ear
- someone who can hold your secrets
- tools to deal with people who disturb your calm
- support building a communications road map for getting that raise, triumphing over that bully, building a bridge destroyed by conflict, culturally competent communications with someone who is different than you (psst – some call that code-switching)
Where can you find me?
