- Script: My name is ___ I am a partner/facilitator/associate with Inspired Leadership. We originally started these Virtual Connects as a free gift during COVID times. We started them to help us connect with you and as way for you to become familiar with us, our style and some of our leadership principles. What we actually do is provide deeper transformational learning journeys for future leaders (click Emerging Leaders image) and managers (click Manager to leader journey) who want to be Inspired leaders. We work with organisations who know that the quality of leadership is the single biggest factor in determining organisational success. We would love to work with you and your organisation, and if you enjoy our approach and style we hope you will recommend us to your organisation. I am sharing over brochure over ZOOM which gives you more about what we do, and I would love to connect 1:1. Please reach out to me.
- This is a facilitated session, which means I will share some thoughts on this topic, but it really is a platform for you to talk and share your views. I will encourage you to use all the virtual collaboration and sharing features like the chat and the whiteboard to share your questions, ideas, tips. So for this to be useful we all need to be active. Stay curious to learn and be generous with your knowledge and experience, listen on all levels and stay present
- We crave ORDER-STRUCTURE-CONTROL (especially the perfectionists/overachievers in the room – GUILTY!) COVID19 has placed a new twist on how uncertain/unpredictable the world is. We need to flex our muscle for tolerating uncertainty otherwise we spend so much time worrying about the future, that we cannot enjoy today. It takes stamina, training and practice – I’m sharing 3 tips today to help you get started
- The focus of this slide is how worries are FUTURE-ORIENTED – we don’t worry about the past (we tend to dwell on the past – can lead to depression) We tend to feel that if we know what will happen in the future (have some certainty) then we will cope with the present better. This DEMAND for certainty (intolerance) is especially prevalent for people who battle with general anxiety and chronic worry.
- Accept unpleasant thoughts/emotions as part of life. Do not avoid these feelings – when we push them away, they become overwhelming. Secondary disturbance = anxious about being anxious. We can then live in the “worst case scenario”
- Tolerating uncertainty = wise mind After explaining the 3 minds very briefly, I’ll ask participants to place a stamp on the mind they mostly have used during lockdown.
- While safety behaviours are mostly linked to social anxiety, they can also be linked to generalized anxiety. They are behaviours we employ to limit anxiety/difficult situations e.g. meeting a friend before an event so you don’t need to arrive on your own OR not taking a risk in your career (moving jobs/applying for promotion/pushing a client to seal a deal) in case you fail. SPOLER ALERT – safety behaviours do not reduce anxiety – they reinforce the idea that you would not cope without them.
- What would you like to challenge yourself to do DIFFERENTLY – take a few risks (without safety behaviours) – tolerate uncertainty
