Helping Organisations Thrive with Julian Roberts

BOOST #6 | How to gain the right perspective for greater insight

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.
 
Perspectives!Perspective is just a point of view.If we realise that it is only that, a point of view, it will really help us in our quest to understand others better.It may appear as the truth, but really it is only true to ourselves.So if we are to become effective and engaging leaders, we need to fully understand others and their point of view, this does not mean we have to agree, but get a fully picture of what might be the truth.So before you jump to conclusions on someone’s action/motive, I would pause and try to gain a few different perspectives/options to gain a fuller understanding.Often I use a NLP technique with my coaching clients called Perceptual Positioning, it is a vey effective way to gain different perspectives on a situation, especially in a conflict one.What advice would you give?

BOOST #5 | Switching to a thriving mindset

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.
 
Firstly, what is a thriving mode?
 
Thriving is living and thinking abundantly.
Thriving is joyful and infectious.
Thriving is having plenty of energy and inspiration.
 
So how to do we switch to a thriving mode?
Here are some ways that will help you do that.
Commit that you will choose to find the good in every circumstance, no matter the circumstance, there are always possibilities - Remember failure is just feedback on your journey!
Fill your life with POSITIVITY not negativity – some ways to do that:
Remind yourself of your purpose and Why, and keep focused on it. This remains the same despite your circumstances.
Practice gratitude as this elicits a positive state as it releases dopamine and serotonin, two neurotransmitters that are responsible for our feel-good emotions.
Celebrate success no matter how small. Do this on a personal level and on an individual level but also do it on a team level. Look for achievements on a daily and weekly basis.

BOOST #4 | Are you prepared to fail?

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.
 
Are you courageous? Are you comfortable with not knowing? 
Here is a paraphrase of a Theodore Roosevelt quote.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
 
True courageous leadership is about:
Stepping into the arena and being seen, and being comfortable not knowing the outcome. Are we in time of not knowing right now? We are unable to predict the future. 
People want leaders who will lead courageously like this:
Listening with empathy
Confronting reality head on
Being real and authentic
Make decisions and moving forward
Communicating openly and frequently
What type of leadership are you going to choose today?
