Working from home has added some extra issues to deal with.

  • Motivation
  • Communication style
  • Creating ways to take time out for self-care such as eating well, exercising, short walks to get some fresh air, rest and recreation etc.
  • and more...
  • Personal development allows you to 'grow into your skin' and become the best version of yourself so you can handle difficult moments with greater ease.
  • Personal Development and Coaching are essential for success in the workplace as well in your private life.
  • With a healthy set of soft skills, life becomes easier and more balanced.
  • You are not alone, we work as a team.
  • Imagine being in an environment you know is confidential, discreet, trusted and safe. 
  • You will be able to voice your thoughts and find solutions for problems that are realistic.

The Downside of Focusing Only on Reaching Targets

6/11/2020

There’s more to life than reaching targets – Try including life skills for support to achieve a more balanced life?
By Suzie Doscher, Executive Coach & Life Coach focusing on Personal Development,
Self-help Author 
 
When a company focuses solely on reaching targets and continually pushes employees to reach these goals, the side effects often result in a high turnover and burnout rate.
​Ironically, this can cause the company NOT to achieve its targets in the desired timeframe. Pushing too hard in one direction results in an inevitable push back from the opposite direction. This is a law of nature that applies to the business world as well. 

 
Stressed employees trying to reach sometimes unrealistic or unnecessary targets tend to operate at half of their capacity. They start to make mistakes and lose track of the details amid their overwhelming work schedules. They tend to suffer physically exhaustion as well. All of this hurts productivity, the very thing the company is trying to increase.

Stop Wasting Good Energy by Reacting - Change Your Reactions to Constructive Actions

13/8/2020

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it” - Charles R. Swindoll
​Learning how to respond to a situation rather than just reacting to it brings huge rewards. Needless to say, it is one of those behaviour changes that is easier said than done. However it can be achieved.

Responding rather than reacting means you will have taken time to consider the situation and which response and consequent outcome best suits you. 
 
The difference between reacting and responding:
  • To respond means you are able to influence your emotions in the moment when something has triggered them. You are able to stop yourself from saying or doing something you might regret. 
  • You stop yourself long enough until your emotions have settled down and you can think clearly.
 
To react means you are not able to influence your emotions and you act emotionally rather than from a place of clarity.
 
What you can gain by stopping knee-jerk reactions is a sense of strength, achievement, power to 
influence, calmness, plus an increase in your self-esteem. The rewards will be felt not only in your private life, but also at work.

3 Important Lessons On Sustainable Well-being in Leadership

CEOs and employees are both at greater risk of burnout during times of crisis, so now more than ever, self-compassion is crucial.

By Charlotte Wiseman, Wellbeing and Leadership Consultant & Trainer MAPPCP at Charlotte Wiseman Consultants

Recent challenges have triggered much interest in the “epidemic” of employee burnout. Articles and podcasts highlight that 76% of employees will experience burnout at some point in time, offering leaders tips to support their team’s well-being and prevent such ends. However, as is too often the case, such studies fail to address that leaders, too, have limited resources. In fact, the last study into leadership burnout indicated that 96% of leaders will experience burnout at some point in their career. In the light of the unpredictable and unprecedented months ahead, burnout in leaders is as a risk that needs to be addressed. 
I have spent the last six months speaking to CEOs who have experienced a crisis of well-being, asking them for their advice for fellow leaders.

​Here are their top tips:....

Worried About Achieving Your Goals? Take Charge of the Stress of the Moment to Stay on Track

You have a goal but are worried you will not achieve it. So many issues popping up that need dealing with, obstacles and other unexpected ‘stuff’ keeps interfering with your daily plan and / or overall daily structure. Stress kicks in, which means focusing is harder, less is achieved … sound familiar?
 
All of these thoughts and mind chatter do not have to result in you getting off track, or even losing sight of your goal.
The trick at this point is to take charge of your thinking and push the ‘reset’ button. 
By this I mean, ‘reset’ the moment, not the direction you are heading in or goal you intend to achieve. 
Resetting the moment means handling whatever is causing you stress. Stress is an emotional issue and will not vanish with the flick of a switch in your brain. Unless of course you already ...

Work-Life Balance is a Myth: 3 Ways to Achieve Work-Life Integration Instead

16/4/2020

By Elizabeth Yuko, Ph.D., Bioethicist and writer
​

From early on — usually before we’ve even started our careers — we’re told about a magical thing called “work-life balance.” Essentially, this myth amounts to the idea that if we do everything right, we will somehow be able to achieve the elusive equilibrium of having a fulfilling and meaningful career, while keeping up an active social life, and being the ideal partner and family member. In reality, though, this perfect “balance” is nearly impossible to achieve.

That’s why at Thrive, we’re all about what our CEO and founder Arianna Huffington calls “work-life integration” — an approach focused on preserving your health and well-being and recognizing that there is no secret formula to “having it all.” In fact, the pressure we put on ourselves, and the stress that results from when we’re feeling as though we’re falling short in one or more aspects of our lives, can be a cause of burnout — precisely the thing that work-life “balance” is supposedly designed to avoid. Here are three small steps to help you aim for your own version of work-life integration: ...

How to Reap the Mental Benefits of a Vacation Without Actually Going on One

3/12/2019

If you’re unable to plan a trip at the moment, don’t stress about it — and don’t underestimate the power of a staycation.
By Rebecca Muller, Assistant Editor at Thrive Global​

​Carving out time for regular recovery is essential for your mental well-being and performance — but sometimes, planning a traditional vacation can feel overwhelming, or is simply unrealistic with a tight timeline. For instance, if you’re a new parent, an anxious traveler, or a caregiver for a loved one, you might not be able to book a last-minute flight to a far-off destination to unplug and recharge — and that reality alone can be stressful.

“The kinds of vacations we take are highly constrained by the demands of family, school and work calendars, and finances,” Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, Ph.D., author of Rest and The Distraction Addiction, tells Thrive. “One size doesn’t fit all.” Pang notes that a getaway is often most valuable because it helps you tap into a mindset that allows you to relax — but you don’t have to go away to hone in on that vacation-focused mindset. In fact, even people who do go on traditional getaways can miss the point. “Too many people go on vacation and stay connected the whole time,” adds Arthur Markman, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin and author of Bring Your Brain to Work. “They don’t give themselves a chance to recharge.”
