The @School_GC Building Resiliency in the Modern World webcast with Jennifer Gervès-Keen was one of the most engaging and applicable sessions I have seen. Looking forward to full day Power to Bounce Back: Being Resilient course. These are my key takeaways: #BCFedLeaders 1/7
Multitasking actually shrinks our brain over time, even though many workplace cultures continue to reward the behavior. The more we multitask, the more we lose our ability to focus, be creative, innovate, and actually do things that matter.#BCFedLeaders #monotasking (2/7)
Be conscious of the language you use to describe yourself: every time you say "I am [adjective]", that is the story you are telling, and the energy you are inviting into your life. Do you really always want to say you're busy? What is the value? #BCFedLeaders @School_GC 3/7
Every time you are saying yes to something, you are saying no to something else.Use filter questions to help decide what to take on: Does this matter to me?Do I have time to do this WELL?Will I enjoy doing this?If you answer no to 2 out of 3, decline.#BCFedLeaders @School_GC 4/7
True work/life balance lies in the energy you gain & spend in a day. Be mindful of what energizes and what drains you. When you finish a meeting/conversation/task, ask yourself: how do I feel? Plan your calendar accordingly to increase #resiliency. #BCFedLeaders @School_GC 5/7
Event + Response = Outcome. What we can control is the response. What are the stories you tell about yourself? Your team? What stories does your organization tell about itself? Being able to shift mindsets and reframe issues is key. #BCFedLeaders @School_GC @BCFedLeaders 6/7
The goal: be an Infinite Leaner: forever curious, seeking out experts, learning from others, reading voraciously, and finding time to reflect on lessons learned. This is the way to keep the brain young and #agile. Change is hard, but helps us grow. #BCFedLeaders@School_GC 7/7
