The biggest obstacle to workplace diversity
I realise that this story shows me in a pretty bad light. Still, I want to share it with you because it so nicely illustrates errors in judgement due to one’s preconceived ideas and ignorance (in this case - my own). This is one of the intense experiences I’ve had during my 1 year trip across Southeast Asia back in 2008, that changed me profoundly. I hope my story gets you thinking of similar encounters you may have had in your own life and how you dealt with them. The big question is: Do YOU give the “Martins” in your life a chance? ;)
The one habit that will boost your productivity
It’s neither planning, nor organisation or prioritisation. These are plain obvious and much talked about. In this video, I want to focus on another major reason for why you are not as productive as you would like to be, considering the amount of time and effort you put into the work. Plus, I’ll tell you about that ONE HABIT that if you introduce into your day-to-day, you will immediately boost your productivity.
How your mood impacts team performance
The study on Emotional Contagion mentioned in the video says: "People are 'walking mood inductors', continuously influencing the moods and then the judgments and behaviours of others". Most of us have heard about emotional contagion. Yet, do we really understand the implications? If you ever wonder why meetings can go terribly wrong, this is for you. We’ll talk about the effects of mood on group dynamics and I’ll give you 4 ideas of things that can do to improve your own and your team’s performance.
How to lead your team through change
This is a REPLAY from our latest SHELeads Online Coffee Talk: Change is hard… Sometimes it's planned, other times change is forced upon you. Although an essential part of life, change can be very stressful for an organisation. Why? The organisation is comprised of us - individuals, each reacting differently to changes and being more or less willing to accept and go through change... How can you lead your team through change and ensure they maintain good work morale and high level of productivity in the face of uncertainty? That's the topic for discussion in this SHELeads online coffee talk. Enjoy!
