Unveiling the Layers:

Exploring your identity is a journey of self-discovery that encompasses various facets of your life. By reflecting on key areas such as personal characteristics, cultural identity, social relationships, experiences, values, professional identity, national identity, gender and sexual identity, and psychological factors, you can gain a deeper understanding of who you are and what shapes you.

This article provides a framework to guide you through this introspective process.

Overall, emotional regulation is a key component of emotional intelligence that helps leaders navigate the complexities of their role, maintain their effectiveness, and positively impact their team and organisation.

Coaching plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for both individuals and teams.

For individuals, coaching provides personalised support and guidance, helping them set and achieve meaningful goals, overcome obstacles, and develop greater self-awareness and resilience. This leads to increased confidence, fulfilment, and a more balanced life.

For teams, coaching fosters collaboration, communication, and a shared sense of purpose. It helps teams align their goals, improve their dynamics, and create a positive, supportive work environment. As a result, team members experience greater job satisfaction, reduced stress, and a stronger sense of belonging.

If a leader is a ‘great’ they will have high emotional intelligence, which in turn enables them to be capable of being empathetic, curious, and humble in all their interactions.

We know that most companies and organisations have always measured the performance of their employees through one lens: results. In the new world of work, consideration of the younger generation and work-dynamics, this level of measurement misses an important factor in employee development.

It is accurate to say that employees are becoming more selective of where they decide to work, and in turn they measure the “performance” of their company and managers. Individuals are most focused on their overall experience, and if they face burnout from pressure, they often lose motivation to stay.

Habits are the small decisions you make and actions you perform every day. So Habits are defined as routines that are practiced regularly.

Habits shape your life far more than you probably realise. Habits are very strong. In fact, our brains cling to them at the exclusion of all else - including common sense.

More than 40% of the actions you perform each day aren’t actual decisions, but habits.

Not only are habits important, they grow stronger and stronger over time and become more and more automatic. So make sure you have the right ones!

Habits are so powerful because they create neurological cravings: A certain behaviour is rewarded by the release of “pleasure” chemicals in the brain.

In the new world of work, team cohesion and effectiveness are more important than ever. Teams are the mechanism that drives performance, innovation, and growth. The benefits of maximising their performance are many, ranging from improved productivity and decision-making, to increased employee engagement, and a more agile response to ever-changing market demands.

“Small moments of connection are so important for us as part of the human experience,” said Thea Gallagher, PsyD, clinical assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health."

Post-COVID, many of us still work from home and still have limited social contact. People have moved and changed. Lives are different.

Finding places of connection are so important for mental health. Social connection and community have a large effect mitigating depression and anxiety.”
