Welcome to the Mentoring Minute™ series. Each week, I’ll answer a reader question and provide at least one great idea on succeeding at work, winning at life, and enjoying it.

The holiday season is a time for joy, laughter, giving, and love – but it can also be a very busy (and stressful) time of year for many people with competing priorities between work, family, and friends. With that said, I want to try my best to put a smile on your face this week! Consider it my little gift to you.

In this week’s Mentoring Minute™ and blog post, I share five of my favorite things (and tips) that are guaranteed to boost your happiness and holiday spirit. I hope you take a moment to sit back and enjoy this week’s post and Mentoring Minute. I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season – and Happy New Year!

P.S. I’m developing an online workshop to help improve your communication skills and would love for you to join my beta group that will provide feedback on the workshop content. If you are interested, please email me at Caren@carenmerrick.com. This opportunity will only be open until December 30th, so don’t miss out!
