A committment to increasing happiness at work as a tool of productivity, success and wellness is often under-valued by organisations and individuals. These slides help increase awareness of factors contributing to and subtracting from happiness and productivity at work.
The document discusses positive psychology and factors related to happiness. It notes that rates of issues like divorce, teen suicide, crime, and depression have increased significantly from 1960 to 2000. Research shows that happiness is associated with benefits like better health, relationships, job performance, and longevity. Studies found that optimistic older adults had half the heart attack rates of less optimistic peers. The document advocates cultivating optimism, gratitude, and kindness to increase happiness and resilience.
The ability to manage our energy and engagement is essential to handling and thriving on the challenges we face as individuals and organisations, and it’s more important than ever before. Personal energy management is about having an awareness of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy that enables us to conduct our day-to-day activities and tasks. A solid understanding of how to cultivate and manage personal energy is the key not only to our individual well-being and success but also to engagement in organisations.
This webinar will provide you with a thorough understanding of personal energy management and how to utilise techniques to better handle the energy and engagement in your daily life for the benefit of yourself and your organisation.
This document provides an overview of radiographic contrast media. It discusses how contrast media enhance images by increasing the absorption of x-rays in certain tissues. It describes the ideal properties of contrast media and classifications such as iodinated versus non-iodinated, ionic versus non-ionic, monomer versus dimer. Examples are given for different types of contrast media including barium sulfate, iodinated monomers and dimers, oil-soluble agents, and MRI contrast agents containing gadolinium. The document covers the history, properties, advantages, disadvantages and examples of various contrast media used in radiology.
Contrast media contain iodine and allow visualization of internal structures. Iodine is preferred in contrast media due to its high atomic number, ability to bind to benzene rings, and low toxicity. Contrast media are classified based on their iodine content and whether they are ionic or non-ionic monomers or dimers. Ionic monomers have very high osmolality while non-ionic dimers are isotonic. Adverse reactions can be idiosyncratic or related to chemical toxicity and hyperosmolality. Treatment involves supporting respiration, circulation, and addressing the specific reaction. High risk patients require special precautions. Ultrasound contrast agents must be stable and modify acoustic tissue properties for imaging. Gas microbubbles
Imaging acute airway in both infants and children Pankaj Kaira
This document discusses the differences between pediatric and adult airways and provides imaging recommendations and features for various causes of respiratory distress in children. Key points include:
- The pediatric larynx is higher and narrower than the adult larynx. The cricoid cartilage is the narrowest part of the pediatric airway.
- Upright radiographs of the neck and chest are recommended for evaluating acute airway obstruction. CT may help delineate anatomy but is often not required.
- Common causes of respiratory distress in children include croup, epiglottitis, retropharyngeal infections, foreign body aspiration/ingestion, and neoplasms. Imaging can identify features to diagnose these conditions and assess airway
The document discusses emotional intelligence and divides it into 5 realms: intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, stress management, and general mood. Each realm contains 2-4 related components. For example, the intrapersonal realm includes self-awareness, assertiveness, independence, self-regard, and self-actualization. Assignments are provided for each component to help readers improve and assess their skills.

This document discusses work-life balance and stress management. It notes that over 60% of respondents report an inability to balance their personal and professional lives. Long work hours, competition, and globalization are contributing factors. Consequences of an imbalance include health risks like obesity and exhaustion, as well as absenteeism, burnout, and stress. HR solutions proposed include flexible work arrangements, time off policies, and seminars on work-life balance. Stress management techniques discussed are identifying stress sources, healthy coping strategies, exercise, relaxation, time management, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The document provides information about a stress management and relaxation training program presented by Dr. Shahzad Anwar Tirmzi. The program aims to teach participants how to combine ancient wisdom with scientific approaches to achieve wellness, health preservation, personality development, and anti-aging. It covers topics like understanding stress, coping strategies, relaxation techniques, self-awareness, decision-making, spirituality, and acupressure. The presentation is divided into 6 parts that cover these topics in more detail.

The document provides exercises and discussions around defining one's authentic leadership signature, managing burnout, finding purpose in one's work, and visualizing future goals. It encourages participants to reflect on their strengths and blind spots to maximize their leadership impact and influence over others. Various leadership archetypes like collaborator, sage, warrior, and pioneer are explored to help people understand their natural leadership style.
This document discusses work-life balance and provides tips for achieving it. It begins by defining work-life balance as properly prioritizing between career/work and personal life/health. It then discusses various demands on personal resources like time and energy, and how to allocate them between work and non-work. Several studies and statistics are presented about dissatisfaction with work-life balance and its impacts. The remainder of the document provides many suggestions for improving balance, including time management, flexibility, self-care, prioritizing tasks, saying no, establishing boundaries, and organizational policies around leave, flexible schedules and childcare.
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. It has many subfields and applications in areas like education, relationships, employment, and mental health treatment. Business psychology can help organizations with recruitment by identifying top talent, maintaining a strong organizational culture during difficult times, developing employees, addressing pain points and stress within the business, and handling downsizing decisions respectfully through career coaching.
This document discusses creating a positive workplace culture. It defines workplace culture as the values, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors employees share daily. It notes that making a workplace happy attracts good employees and helps them perform well. It then lists signs of negative and positive workplace environments. Common positive attributes include being results-oriented, caring about colleagues, and providing opportunities to learn and grow. Ten signs of a positive workplace are also outlined, such as having positive values, a relaxed productive atmosphere, commitment to excellence, and flexibility.

This document summarizes key ideas from behavioral economics, positive psychology, and human achievement. It discusses how optimism, positivity, intrinsic motivation, and growth mindset can lead to happiness and success. Flow states from deliberate practice are also important. Behavioral economics shows humans are predictably irrational, using heuristics and framing. Understanding these principles can help people improve health, happiness, and productivity. The science of being human is an emerging field that provides evidence-based ways to enhance well-being.
This document discusses the importance of beginning with the end in mind when setting goals and direction in life. It emphasizes creating a clear mental vision or "personal mission statement" that is aligned with one's principles and values. This first creation then guides the physical creation or execution of goals and plans. The document also discusses identifying one's core or "center" to ensure goals and direction are based on correct principles rather than external factors. Finally, it discusses how developing a personal mission statement can provide internal guidance and a standard to measure oneself against in life.
The science of stress and resilience handoutPeter Gowers
This document summarizes key concepts from the science of stress and resilience.

Dr. Fahey presents SUCCESS STRATEGIES: What words according to sciencedrfahey
The document provides guidance on setting goals that are effective for achieving success. It discusses that goals should be:
1. Challenging yet attainable to maintain commitment and motivation.
2. Specific rather than vague to provide clear direction and allow for measurement of progress.
3. Approaching something rather than avoiding something to engage a positive mindset.
4. Measurable to facilitate ongoing strategy refinement and steady progress.
5. Associated with proximal deadlines to make progress easy to track and build confidence over time.
6. Personally inspiring to the individual to sustain interest and excitement toward achievement.
The document discusses the concept of work-life balance and defines it as achieving daily fulfillment through meaningful achievement and enjoyment across four key areas: work, relationships, self-care, and community. It notes that balance looks different for everyone and can change over time and life stages. Achieving balance involves understanding one's values and priorities, managing barriers like stress and lack of support, and focusing effort on all important life domains each day rather than just work. Flexibility, organization, setting boundaries, and asking for help from others are also recommended.
The document summarizes key concepts from the book "Designing Your Life" by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. It discusses reframing dysfunctional beliefs, such as the idea that you need to find your passion before designing your life. Instead, the book advocates developing a passion through trying different things. It also introduces concepts like having a workview, lifeview, generating ideas through mind mapping, and choosing a life path through discernment rather than endless options. The overall goal is to help people design a coherent life where their work, beliefs, and actions are aligned to find greater fulfillment.
Personal mastery is about empowering individuals through constant self-reflection and development. It involves continuously clarifying what is truly important through clarifying one's vision and understanding the gap between the current reality and that vision. This creative tension can then motivate people to address underlying beliefs that may be limiting their potential, such as a lack of self-worth or ability. With commitment to truth and by accessing one's subconscious mind, people can change limiting beliefs and empower themselves to achieve their vision. For organizations, fostering personal mastery requires investment, alignment around shared goals, and potentially reworking structures to give people freedom to pursue their visions. Exercises provided help individuals explore their deepest desires and clarify their core values to guide personal and

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

plants some potatoes,
joins another organisation,
forms a committee of his
own and has a drink or
pops a pill

they can know
whether you’re a

52. Increasing happiness@work
There is a close association between
personal charisma and success in life.
Probably 85 percent of your success and
happiness will come from your relationships
and interactions with others. The more
positively others respond to you, the easier
it will be for you to get the things you want.
