馃敟 The key to motivation. Whether personal, individual, organizational, or as a team… We often confuse it with setting goals. That is a first step, but a shared vision is what truly drives us.
馃 In the three #mergers and deep cultural changes I have lived and led, I learned that success means losing the fear of #change. If we do not understand this important aspect, we will not move forward.
馃挴 But of course, admitting we are afraid is not well-received, so we try to hide it. We also know we cannot fool ourselves for long without compromising our health and #mentalwellbeing. A 2019 Gallup study found that 87% of workers reported feeling unmotivated by their work. (Today… insert your own percentages…)
馃АEmpowering a happy, committed, leading, and multidimensionally rich team is what we gain by building a shared vision.
馃幆What can you do? Applying the “5 Whys” technique always works for me. I use it often. You can introduce it individually, to your projects, or with your teams. Sometimes you might even need 7 Whys. Go ahead! Climb up or down the steps as needed.
This technique is one of the best within the “Liberating Structures” framework. You cannot create anything new without first tearing down the houses of cards you clung to.
馃А Overcome your fears by understanding them, not by rejecting them or pretending they do not exist. Then, leap! Understand that when you set your will to achieve it, you stop being a victim of circumstances. That is how you live at full power.
馃寑While there is more, you can start with this purpose now: find the vision of the future that involves you, calls you, and makes you happy creating it. Nothing is more #healthy, creative, and motivating than having a VISION that inspires you.
馃АThat gives you meaning because it MEANS something to you. You know what you can CONTRIBUTE to. And when you reach intermediate goals, you will keep going. Keep your eyes on what you want to achieve, what fills you with pride, peace, and satisfaction, because you are connecting to something bigger than yourself.
馃巵Do not settle for less. If you want more, find me at the School of Skills for Life and Health.
We apply the principles of #Salutog茅nesis to guide your path to #coherence, to COMPLETE, HEAL, and CARE for yourself and what you love most: YOURSELF, your Health, and your Life.
That is what you truly want to achieve because it expands you and connects you with your natural serenity and joy. Do you realize that?
Happy Monday!
