Meditation time

1. Meditation time
• Guided meditation session

2. Practice Sessions - self
Have you continued with the various mindfulness exercises daily?
If yes – how are these improving your focus and attention?
In no – what is it that is causing you to give up on the exercises?
Are you scheduling time for your sessions?
Are you keeping what you have learnt in mind each day?

3. Inclusive and Agile Mindset
When there is
conflict, both
parties feel they
are right and the
other is wrong –
we become to
invested in being
right.
Mindfulness helps
us to see our own
perspective as well
as others
Helps us to handle
conflicting
information and
ambiguity
Shift our
perspective to be
more inclusive
Broadens our own
thinking

4. Grow Humility
Book Good to Great – looked at Fortune 500 companies over a 40 -year period to ascertain how a
company can retain outstanding results sustainably – findings were that top-level leadership
demonstrated fierce ambition and humility (think of themselves less, valuing others and
appreciating their contribution
Need to notice and appreciate others
With appreciation – people feel valued and empowered

5. Be resilient in failure
The act of failure does
not make you a failure
First impulse when we fail is to
blame the self or others. This
prevents us from learning
from our failure and we
remain stuck
To be resilient – is to step
out of our comfort zone –
this allows us to notice
our own mindset,
judgements, experience
emotions of our most
compassionate self
Accept failure as learning
Develop compassion for
others
Helps us to create teams
that take risks and learn
quickly and create
success
Improves relationships
within teams

6. Face Fear and Grow Courage
Make the decision to change
so that you can move
forward
Overcome your fears – this
takes courage to take on
different assignments, see
things with a different point
of view
Fear is normal
When you fear, focus on
your values more than on
your fears
Have fear – but don’t let
fear have you
Choose to shift your
attention to what is valued
by us
Emotional intelligence is a
key driver to success
Ability to know and manage
yourself – identify your
triggers and thoughts
In your mind, make a story
map – imagine you are a
journalist – describe what
happened, notice
assumptions, thoughts,
feelings, emotions
Accept your emotions,
notice your behaviour from
the triggers and the impact
on the self and others

7. Remain grounded in change and ambiguity
• Constant change – mind feels stressed and overwhelmed when we are not in control
• Fight, flight or freeze
• Slow down and be present, define the opportunities in the change
• Evolve your relationship with change
• Become aware of how you respond to change
• Imagine yourself as a scientist – what emotions, thoughts, feelings, body feelings,
breath into it
• Become aware of all the times you have been successful when handling ambiguity
and change. Changes in life – connect to the part of you that is successful in the
change, label this part of you as “the explorer”
• Know that new neural pathways will enable you to deal with change – this is already
in you
