Nourish and cultivate your best inner self — how social media, work/life balance or a career change can be impactful
Nourishing the inner self is about cultivating resilience, fostering positive connections and finding meaning and purpose in life. Three local experts at Kaleida Health's Women's Wellness Summit on May 6 at Kleinhans Music Hall shared how this can be achieved. Panelists were: Dr. Ashley Bernotas, director of Obesity Medicine, Kaleida Health Weight Management Center Thea Pecht, senior vice president, corporate communications, Upstate and Western New York Regions, M&T Bank Kelli Putney, vice president, senior healthcare advisor, Martin Group The conversation was moderated by Dunkirk native Cindy Miller, founder and CEO of Cindy Miller Golf and an inductee into the LPGA Professionals Hall of Fame. The lively discussion centered on personal-brand building, time management, diet, fitness and mental health, many of the elements needed to help care for and develop your best self. Manage your social media usage The first topic covered was the ever-present social media and how it can be used effectively and without negatively impacting mental health. Putney advised keeping social media interactions significant. "While you can count the number of followers, you should have quality over quantity," she said. "You want people who interact with you and will comment and share. But you want that engagement to be meaningful, whether it's your personal brand or your professional brand." Sending and receiving messages can interrupt a busy day, so learn about how to control the frequency of notifications, she said. Most importantly, consider planned breaks from social media. "Preserve time out of your day or your week where you are social media-free," she said. "Whether it's an hour or two a day or a whole day on the weekend, just unplug. That's another great way to preserve your mental health." Strike a work/life balance Sticking to mental health best practices involves balancing your home life while you're working remotely, a phenomenon that emerged from the pandemic. Optimizing and protecting your time is key to maintaining mental health, Pecht said. She recommends one big meeting, instead of several small ones, that's run tightly. She suggests a meeting of 30 minutes. Delegating is another good strategy, though it might be difficult for type-A personalities. Additionally, delete unimportant tasks from the never-ending to-do list. "I'm constantly evaluating where my time and energy are going. I'm always making sure I have that work/life balance as much as I can," Pecht said. "If there's something you don't want to do, if it doesn't make you happy, if you don't want to spend time with someone or take that meeting, don't do it. My main priorities are the health of my kids and having a happy home." expand Mark Mulville Consider a career change If your career isn't doing it for you anymore, don't settle. Make that change, Dr. Bernotas said. She speaks from experience. Bernotas was early in her medical career, just three or four years out of residency, when she hit a wall. After working every single day during the pandemic, without taking time off, she suffered significant burnout. She actually considered leaving medicine behind. "I didn't know how to set my boundaries. That was a big mistake," she said. "Only after my lowest of lows in my career did I reflect that I worked too hard to feel this poorly." Maybe it was the breather of a short vacation that gave her a clear mind and an openness to new ideas that led her to hear about obesity medicine. Suddenly, passion ignited in her for this medical specialty that was new to her. Today, she is a dual board-certified physician specializing in family medicine and obesity medicine, serving in a leadership position at Buffalo General Medical Center/Gates Vascular Institute. "I found I truly have a passion for it. I enjoy getting up and going to work every day. My daughter and my family are my priority, but my work is my other baby. I really enjoy it," she said. What's unique about Bernotas' approach to medicine and her patients' struggles is her personal battle with weight loss. She, too, is impacted by society's ill-informed assumptions about lack of exercise and poor food choices. "I feel I can relate to my patients. I often share some personal stories with them to let them know I'm living it alongside them," she said. "It's a disease that is mostly genetic and needs to be treated with medications, among other lifestyle modifications, just like any other disease and I think we need to destigmatize it." Maintain your network The panelists also had plenty to say about the importance of networking in developing your personal brand, attracting sponsors and opening career opportunities. Putney recommended maintaining relationships, no matter how long ago they were forged. Stay connected. It is a key function of networking. "You never know when you're going to need that person and when you're going to be able to help that person," Putney said. She recently had an experience where a client, aware of a job opening with Putney, sent her a prospect who got the job and has become a valued employee. It cemented with her the power of networking, she said. The online world offers prime networking opportunities but it's important to be authentic in cyberspace. It's a bit like online dating, she said. Don't show up and be a completely different person than what you presented online. A personal brand or company brand is created, she said, not by what people see, but what they remember. "It's not always just those tactical executions, it's the memory and the feelings people have about you," Putney said. "When they're discussing you for a position or a promotion, you want them to have a good memory of you."

EXCLUSIVE: Why Hans Gillhaus missed Aberdeen Hall of Fame induction - plus, WIN a pair of tickets to Music Hall Scottish Cup legends event featuring Dutch icon
Aberdeen 1990 Scottish Cup hero Hans Gillhaus has revealed why he missed his Reds Hall of Fame induction in January – and there is a plan to belatedly mark the 'honour' in the Granite City in the coming days. Dutch Dons icon Gillhaus – who scored more than 30 times for Aberdeen between November 1989 and March 1983, and netted in the famous Hampden cup final penalty shoot-out win over Celtic just months after his arrival – will be back in north-east with four of his 1990 silverware-securing team-mates for a Music Hall gig next week. Gillhaus will be on stage with cup-winning skipper Alex McLeish, as well as ex-strike partner Charlie Nicholas, goalkeeping compatriot Theo Snelders and winning penalty scorer Brian Irvine next Thursday for the '1990: The Legends Return' evening (details on how to win one of 10 pairs of tickets for the Thursday show below). The shows – Gillhaus' first live stage appearance since leaving Pittodrie 26 years ago -will give him the chance to celebrate the Hall of Fame recognition he received earlier this year with a special ceremony. Gillhaus was travelling in his former role as a scout for Saudi Premier League club Al-Ahli when the initial event at the Chester Hotel took place. 'At that moment, I was travelling in Saudi,' Gillhaus said. '(But) I think something is going to happen on the Thursday morning that we have the (Music Hall) event, for the induction.' Asked whether it was emotional to receive the Hall of Fame nod from his former club, former Netherlands international Gillhaus said: 'Very much so.' Working as a scout since hanging up his boots in 1999, Gillhaus brought current Manchester City centre-back Nathan Ake and ex-Crystal Palace left-back Patrick van Aanholt to Chelsea from the Netherlands as youngsters. Former forward Gillhaus is currently between scouting roles, though – allowing him to make this first trip to Aberdeen in 'four or five years'. He said: 'I was in Saudi Arabia – Al-Ahli. I was there a couple of months. 'And before that, my last club was Atalanta Bergamo. 'So those were the last two. 'I enjoy it (scouting) very much. It's just because I left Saudi Arabia at the end of summer, then most of the clubs are all selling their scouting, so therefore, it's been a bit difficult to get something new. But that'll come.' Gillhaus has been using his down-time to watch football, including 'occasional Scottish games', while 'the rest is all around Europe and South America and everything – just whatever is on.' He has only seen 'one or two' matches involving Jimmy Thelin's Aberdeen this term, and admits he is therefore the 'wrong guy' to make 'an intelligent analysis' on their season. In a stroke of misfortune, Gillhaus is also scheduled to fly back to the Netherlands after Thursday evening's event at the Music Hall – just two days before the current Dons take on Celtic in this season's Scottish Cup final. While he is unable give too much insight on the 2025 Aberdeen team, one thing Gillhaus remembers in glorious detail is the 1990 cup campaign, culminating in the final shoot-out victory over the Hoops. Gillhaus was a European Cup winner when he arrived at Aberdeen from PSV Eindhoven late in 1989 – but says the Scottish Cup success with the Reds is 'very close' in the pecking order of his career achievements, given what the old trophy means to fans of clubs in Scotland. He said: 'The two years before, with PSV, we won the cup as well. So this was the third (domestic cup) final. 'But how the day was itself and the atmosphere in the stadium was completely different to the Dutch Cup final – this was really intense and the atmosphere was fantastic. 'I remember, obviously, the fact that the penalties were taken on the side where the Aberdeen supporters were, so that made it very special. 'But the whole build-up, too… 'What I remember most and enjoyed most was the journey towards the final with the semi-final against Dundee, the quarter-final with Hearts. Those games I will never forget. 'We were really, really on the high of our game and to finish it off in such a famous stadium, that was really, really special – very close, very close, I would say, to winning the Champions League.' Hampden, too – will often derided by supporters – left a lasting impression on the Dutchman. 'It's not one of the most beautiful or nice stadiums because of, yeah, I think you have a bit of a running track around it,' Gillhaus said. 'So, for the fans, it might be a bit far away from the pitch. 'But for the players, that was… For me, it was a magical place.' We've got 10 pairs of tickets to Thursday, May 22's '1990: The Legends Return' event to give away. At Aberdeen's Music Hall next Thursday, Dons 1990 Scottish Cup-winning players Hans Gillhaus, Charlie Nicholas, Alex McLeish, Theo Snelders and Brian Irvine will recall stories of their time at the club, the great period where they won the double in 89/90 and how the likes of Gillhaus made such an impact to the club. The audience will also be able to put their own questions to their heroes. You just need to Entry is via this link – and close on Sunday, May 18, at 5pm (full terms and conditions at link above).
