    In this episode we look at how to be less lonely at work and how to help your team feel less lonely. We look at The evidence for loneliness at work and the impact. What a connected team could look like. I share 9 ways you can create more connection at work. How we show up and connect with our team sets the tone for everyone. It does require us to put connexion and relationship building on our to do list. We need to make moments of connection and meetings matter. It is also really important not to assume that people connect and need connection in the same way as you. Ask your team what they need, try ideas out and be willing to change.   Resources and Links How to Overcome the Fear of Feedback - https://www.emilypettytraining.com/podcasts/unlocking-potential-2/episodes/2148601027 How to Make Meetings Better For Everyone - https://www.emilypettytraining.com/podcasts/unlocking-potential-2/episodes/2148562296 How Loneliness at work can impact your life - https://www.forbes.com/sites/tracybrower/2024/03/21/how-workplace-loneliness-can-impact-your-job/ Better Up - Build a Culture of Connection Report - https://grow.betterup.com/resources/build-a-culture-of-connection-report.

  5. How to Motivate Your Team

    10/04/2024

    How to Motivate Your Team

    In this episode we look at how to motivate your team and lets face it ourselves. When we are energised and motivated we will energise and motivate others. There will always be times of low motivation and low energy. The key is to be able to notice this, identify what causes the low motivation and find ways to move through it. I also look at how we can harness the opportunity that hybrid working brings to enable us to work with our energy and to maximise times of connection and times when we are working at home alone. Ways I can support you to motivate your team. Team motivational days to help your team connect together, listen to each other, encourage each other and find ways to stay motivated and energised together. 1-2-1 Coaching - if you are feeling low in motivation having time to think for yourself can be the most powerful first step you can take.

  6. How to Think and Act Strategically

    How to Think and Act Strategically

    In this episode of Unlocking Potential I look at how you can think and act strategically. There are three steps that I've adapted from William Ury's book Possible. He shares these steps in relation to managing conflict but I think they also apply to strategic thinking. This podcast can apply to you personally and how you lead others strategically. I am not going to give you a formula for leading a strategic planning process. These steps need to be in place as a foundation that will support any strategic planning tool you might use. And if you want to keep things simple can provide a framework to help you be more strategic with a more human approach. 1 - Pause 2 - Zoom In 3 - Zoom Out Join a FREE live workshop on Monday 30 September where we will go deeper into the topic of How to Think and Act Strategically - join HERE I'm Emily Petty a coach, trainer and facilitator.

    04/30/2024

    How to Overcome the Fear of Feedback

    How to overcome the fear of feedback. We struggle to ask for feedback and we struggle to give feedback not because we don't know how to do it. There are 100's of tools online to help you to give feedback effectively. But because either there is a lack of trust and psychological safety or we are letting our own fear and fixed mindset stop us from asking for or giving feedback. Fear can be personal or it can be collective within a team or organisational culture. In this podcast I will offer a simple framework for asking for and giving feedback but before that I will help you explore what might be holding you back from asking for and giving feedback. Understanding our own relationship with feedback first will uncover key insights to help us to move forward. I'm Emily Petty a coach, trainer and facilitator.
