Impact of change on team emotions

I have been thinking about the biggest issue facing teams right now – without doubt it is change and uncertainty. Many of you will be familiar with the Kubler-Ross change curve below. I know I have referred to it many times to normalise my own emotions around change. I think the change curve can also be applied in a team context. Change in the environment, change in business focus and priorities, change in organisation structure and resources, all elicit emotions of grief that impact a team collectively. Talk openly as a team about how change and uncertainty is impacting you both individually and as a team.

Gratitude in uncertain times

I was back in the area where I grew up over the week-end, not too far from Ohope beach (see pic). As I walked along the beach I thought about how grateful I am to have grown up in New Zealand. And so grateful to be in New Zealand now, as the world we live in is so uncertain and changing.

There is plenty of empirical evidence that focusing on gratitude improves mental health, wellbeing and optimism and reduces anxiety, stress and depression. If you are not already doing it, take some time very day to focus on things you are grateful for.

Find your Ikigai

A friend of mine introduced to to this concept. Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means having a direction or purpose in life. I love it! It perfectly describes the journey I am on... Maybe I can help you find and develop your Ikigai too.
