Engagement In The Workplace
Engagement in the workplace doesn’t come from telling people what they should think, how they should feel, or what they should be doing. It comes from understanding who an individual is and how they process information.
Do you have someone who comes to you with a brilliant idea hours or days after a meeting or workshop? They are your reflective, conceptual people. Do you have someone who comes out with grand, bold ideas immediately? They are your action-oriented, conceptual people. Do you have someone who comes back weeks later with a fully evidenced action plan? They are your reflective, data-driven people.
Knowing how to identify them and get the best from everyone makes for better engagement. Not everyone can immediately come out with the great idea that changes the game – but given the right structure, you get the best outcome from everyone.
Confidence Building & Self Defence
Being confident comes from within, but it is massively influenced by the environment in which someone operates. Are you really building a psychologically safe environment? Is everyone able to say what they think and feel without fear of recrimination? Having a confident and psychologically secure team directly impacts the bottom line, your reputation and your culture.
Self defence can be both physical and internal. Practical skills for physically defending yourself are valuable, but so are the tools to protect your mental wellbeing – and I can offer both.
