Brainstorm Squared Damiano Tescaro, Aidan Cammies

We’re going to experiment together and create a conversation around the topics of psychological safety, mental awareness, mental health, plus everything that has to do with diversity and inclusion.

We’ll talk about the four stages of cue, craving, response reward, if you want to know more about that, I highly recommend James Clear’s book Atomic Habits which summarises lots of excellent stuff around habit forming. And you recommend a book by Barbara Sher (I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was) which is all about building rituals and routines, making it so you don’t have to think ‘I need to do this, I need to do this’. We suck at things that we have to consciously think about. No one wants to stand-up, go to the gym, do this, but if you can give yourself a reason why and make it a habit of ‘I’m only going there for five minutes, I can do that, then it starts to get easier over time. And do check-ins - ask each other how you’re feeling.
