The new year is the perfect time for me to reflect on what was successful in the workplace and set goals for the new year. It's also a great time to evaluate my mindset and approach to teaching.
As speech-language pathologists, we love to teach idioms to our students. Teaching figurative language such as: "It's raining cats and dogs," "hot off the press," and "feeling under the weather" are just a few of the common idioms we teach students.

In this post, I want to suggest 5 "easy does it" practices you can apply in the workplace.
