Spring has sprung!

And with it, a burst of fresh energy! Enjoy longer days, lambs, blossoms, daffodils and ice cream at the beach. It's the perfect time to renew, recharge and refresh up your daily routines. What new goals or projects are you diving into this season? Or more importantly, what have you left slip that could do with refocus?

I help leaders and teams work out what's important, embed what works, and build new habits. Get in touch if you or your team could do with some spring in your routine. www.growtobe.co.nz.

I’m a ❄️ person. Love it!

In my happy place this week getting some R&R in the spectacular south of Aotearoa. Batteries are recharged and ready to go again. 

If you or your team need a change in pace, get in touch. Let’s talk through the options!

Psychological safety score = 5 out of 5 (almost)

I asked a team I worth with to take a simple psychological safety assessment recently. It was some simple! I described what psychological safety was, gave them a scale of 1 to 5 (5 = 100% safe and 1 = it’s terrible) and asked them to write their score anonymously on a scrap of paper, fold it over and give it to me. See the picture below for results! Amazing!

Why this score? Many reasons I suspect, including: a leader who genuinely cares, spending time together having fun and appreciating the strengths and value each team member brings to the collective. Intentionally encouraging a safe environment is important too, and that’s where a team coach can help – opening up conversations, encouraging curiosity and role modelling.

If you’d like to know more about creating psychologically safe environments, please get in touch. I’d love to chat about it.

(BTW psychological safety = feeling safe to take interpersonal risks in a team. To speak up, to disagree openly, to surface concerns without fear of negative repercussions. Saying what you want to say and being yourself!)
