Small things – big impact!

Can your team articulate areas of strength, challenge, opportunity and quick wins? Quick wins are gold – small things, easy to change, with big impact. For an executive team of extraverts I am working with, one of their quick wins is keeping records of actions and decisions made. Because they love to contribute so many great ideas when they are together it can be unclear what they have actually agreed on. Taking notes sounds simple and it was!

If you would like support articulating areas of strength, challenge, opportunity and quick wins in your team dynamic, please get in touch.

What would your team t-shirt say?

I asked a team to design a t-shirt representing their team purpose - examples of their work below. The exercise must have resonated as they took an action to combine their designs and actually get t-shirts made up to wear (not my original intension – but hey, even better!).

Why is team purpose so important? Well, without shared and clearly articulated vision, goals, priorities and narrative of the future, how can you be sure you really are all aligned, or wearing the same t-shirt?

Turn up the volume!

While out of the city over the last week one of things that struck me is the amount of noise pollution, we are subject too. My normal background hum from busy city roads, helicopters and construction was replaced by sounds of the sea, birds and insects. Spending time in nature is sooooooo good for us. The benefits of nature can be integrated into work – I have several clients who take their teams outside for meetings, or go for a walk together as a break.
