Making Time To Be Calm Helps Wellbeing And Creativity

Those are the days we feel burdened and tense.
On a day like that it is healthy to pause and make time to calm things down.
We are healthier when we create space to breathe deeply and clear our thoughts.

#nationalcarersweek is about putting carers and their skills on the map
Our skills are developed from every part of our life, not just paid roles.
Ahead of National Carers Week, it is worthwhile mapping the key skills unpaid carers build up over time.
Careful Communication – keeping services providers family and friends informed of how they can help.
Thoughtful Teamwork – collaborating with others to get the right results at the right time.
Practical Problem-solving – finding out what isn’t working well and deciding on the best solution.
When the time is right we can draw on those skills when we apply for a new job role.
It makes sense to use the STAR model within job applications to show how these skills reflect the quality of our results, after we take action to accomplish an important task, against the backdrop of a challenging situation.
If you want to make STAR part of your next job application follow the links to some wide-ranging examples of the STAR model.

Some thoughts about self-care for #Internationalworkersday
If you have spent any time with people who are unpaid carers, especially in the margins of their day job, you will have heard someone say something similar to this.
Since #Carersweek is also coming up in June it is a good time to think about the value of self-care.
Why?
Because if we aren’t meeting our own needs, we aren’t going to be in good shape to look out for others.
So, every bit of nurturing we do for ourselves is an investment we make towards our care for others.

Personal development matters after an event like National Careers Week.
Planning the next steps after #NCW2024 means taking stock, working out what can be done straight away to make an impact and scheduling time to move toward change.
Here’s a reminder of what all that means.
Stay tuned.
In a few days you’ll be able to have access to more insights, to help your journey toward a better job.
National Careers Week – #NCW2024 – is pitched towards young people at the start of their working life. But career development is a life-long option.
We can always take the initiative and, focus on building on our skills, using our experience and pursuing new job goals.
It helps if advertisers are aware of and respond to inequalities within the jobs market. In that way everyone is able to compete for opportunities in a fair way.

Our career aspirations can be shaped by self-awareness
The key to #change is taking #action to reach our #goal.
Almost twenty years after Steve Jobs’ 2005 commencement speech at #Stanford, his words remind us that – where our working lives are concerned – we already know what we truly want to become.

As Christmas and the new year get closer, we could do worse than think about the future.
In the short-term there will be parties and socials where our people skills are put to the test. After all, social gatherings can bring out the worst in people.
In those settings our charisma or #rizz helps us get out point across and listen, respectfully, to others’ views. We can remain happy even if the atmosphere gets heated.
In January we will be going after a new set of goals. We might have to work with new people and influence their actions to get something done on our behalf. Charisma will be important in this area too.
So, this holiday season we can all practice using our people skills and see what value we can add to work, or play, by using our charisma.
Why not give it a try and leave a comment about how you got on.
There is nothing better than spending time with loved ones away from work during the summer months.
When it is time to pack away the shorts and T shirts too many people are unhappy to get back to their day jobs, because they feel stuck in a rut.
To make matters worse, way too many people have to face the morale sapping problem of bullying in their team once they cancel their out-of-office alerts.
Here’s a quick reminder that smart leaders create a climate where would-be bullies think twice before throwing their weight around.
Why?
Because the potential bully knows they will be held accountable for the damage they cause to morale, the team’s reputation and the unit’s production schedule.

Beyond our professional and personal networks there are limitless potential customers, clients and service users.
The people who use our goods and services can be challenged by unspoken burdens.
When we create a space where they can help us better understand their lives those burdens can become visible.
Once we can see what other obstacles they face, we can help them eliminate them.
It is a win-win situation.
We learn something, while they enjoy greater independence and joy.

Bullying is never far from the headlines.
It happens when people throw their weight around in classrooms, workplaces and on social media.
Here’s a reminder of how we can be good leaders, colleagues, and friends. The kind of people that inspire others, without acting like bullies.
