  • Sunday morning and it is lovely to not rush up; however, I still reach for my iPhone to read my emails and articles on LinkedIn.  Though perhaps not the best thing to be doing, and reflecting on what is the mental impact on me about doing this??  However, I do read some great articles that give me inspiration and ideas for my blogs.  This morning was no exception!

    Last week talking to friends and clients about how they were feeling the words that kept coming back to me were "psychological safety". The word "Psychological Safety" may currently be topical, although we have long discussed the "Psychological Contract" within HR and for me the two are very much linked.  Without "the belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes", how can any employee or member of staff feel they have a connection to an organisation?

    Working with some coaching clients at the moment where their focus is on career transition and catching up with people in my network, it is great to see for a significant number of people - a "new year; new role".  It got me thinking that for a lot of people, last year could have made them reflect about what they do now?  Is their current role aligned to their values?  Or they may simply be saying each day "what on earth am I doing?"

    My business ethos has always been about "being human" Take a look at our last blog "Have Things Changed as a Leader?" Now as a result of COVID and the pandemic this phrase seems to be very much front of mind.  For me as a leader this should always have been a focus, and it is disheartening to think it takes something so awful to bring a way of being and behaving, to the front of peoples' minds.

    “When you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you”. Last year I wrote a blog about this just before Christmas, and then in November this year I asked you what makes you smile? It's been lovely to hear from so many of you that it was, in fact, other people in your lives that make you smile!
