Take action
Things to try this week
In this chapter you have learned how you can be more intentional with how you relate to others by better understanding and potentially changing your mindsets.
Take a look at these exercises that will help you to practise your new skills at work this week.
Try it this week:
Throughout this week, take the time to get curious about how your mindsets and beliefs might be affecting those that you would like to be in better relationship with.
Every day:
1.
Consider a person or team you want to be in better relationship with. Move through these steps:
- What do you want them to feel?
- What is the attitude or mindset that will help you create that feeling in others?
- PRACTISE: Remind yourself of this mindset several times a day.
- Notice how it makes you feel, what actions it generates from you and the impact you have.
2.
Consider these possible mindsets (ways of thinking). See how you might adopt one or more of these:
- I am capable and others are capable too; we have different capabilities.
- I can create positive connections with others.
- I don't have to know everything; I can support others to be brilliant.
- I can help to create an empowering team and organisation.
- There's no such thing as perfection; we're all learning and growing.
To take your learning further:
1.
Write down your key learnings from this chapter and at least one mindset you would like to adopt. Take these to your learning group meeting to discuss.
You will find a guide for this session along with the key takeaways from this chapter in the Resources page.
