Harnessing the power of inner sustainability, systems awareness and adaptable leadership to achieve effective outcomes through complex challenges, with high performance and high wellbeing.
How often are you actively choosing a positive perspective – at work and in all areas of your life? The research shows that being positive leads to enormous benefits for leadership and your personal wellbeing, sense of fulfilment and feelings of happiness and contentment, which are all essential for you to thrive through situations that are challenging, potentially stressful or have high uncertainty.
A positive mindset & positive thoughts generate positive feelings and positive outcomes.
Your Brain state can be negative or positive but not both at once. When you are in a positive brain state, you have more access to the higher levels of your brain, the pre-frontal cortex. This is the rational decision making part of the brain and the centre of higher order thinking skills and executive function – for good decision making, inference, creativity, problem solving, solution finding, cognitive functioning of all kinds, plus creating sparks between different memories for insights and innovative ideas.
Positive emotion enhances all high performance traits.
When we’re feeling anxious, stressed or actually afraid, we are unable to do any of these things at our normal ability. Unfortunately, there are many work practices that inadvertently trigger a threat response because it’s not always intuitive.
You can change that by choosing to develop your positive ‘mental fitness’ and actively changing your work environment and culture to enhance positivity.
Plus did you know that when you smile, mirror neurons in our brain make us smile too and feel some of your positive emotion. Equally when you're stressed or angry or afraid we feel some of your negative emotion.
Emotions are contagious!
Maybe there is no surprise then that my most frequently requested in-house masterclasses over the last few years have been for the power of positive, positive leadership mindset, mental strength and wellbeing! Positivity can transform your team and organisation – it creates a supportive environment and culture that brings the best out of you and your people, strengthens your relationships and nurtures trust, creativity, innovation, wellbeing and engagement in work.
"When you smile, the world smiles with you!"
A positive mindset is the foundation for being effective in all that you do - in life and in work. It enables a positive culture, trust, emotional intelligence, resilience, strong relationships, psychological safety, inclusivity, flexibility, creativity, innovation, learning, collaboration, effective and high performing teams, effective leadership, and effective high performing organisations.
