Are you ready for Christmas 2021?

Hello my superstars,

How are you?

Random question but does some song start playing in your head when you think of Christmas? For some reason, the song- ‘Driving home for Christmas’ by Chris Rea starts playing in my head as soon as I think of Christmas! What is your song?

Sorry, I digressed there but anyway the reason why I have popped along here is to share with you our lovely Christmas programmes with you. I am honestly super excited about these activities we have created because we have put in a lot of hard work, thought and creativity into this and we can’t wait to actually run these activities over the next few weeks for our clients! It is going to be EPIC!

But our Programme guide is not the only thing I am sharing here…we have also put together an INFORMATION GUIDE to help you plan and deliver your Christmas Celebrations if you were to choose to do it by yourselves! (how could you!;-p)

See below a few quick suggestions to help you to get started with your Christmas team event planning-

Wellbeing and Resilience Strategies to help you navigate through the next phase of change

Despite the pain, loss and instability we all have endured through the past 15 months, the fact is that we all have also realised what an amazing disruption the pandemic has been for work life for some of us.

15 months on, each organisation no matter the industry, size or location is now rethinking their people strategies around this new ‘hybrid’ working style. According to me, one of the biggest upsides of the pandemic has been the mindset shift around ‘productivity and output’ based performance matrix rather than a ‘clock in at the office at 8am’ based performance matrix. That has definitely been an eye opening experience for many organisations across the board.

Saying that, I am also very aware that the pandemic has affected each community and each of us differently and that probably you and me are in a very privileged position to be even thinking about the upsides of the pandemic. All we can do is try and share the benefits that have come out of the ‘working from home’ settings to communities that are disproportionately impacted by this global pandemic.

While most companies are focusing on "how to get their people back to work," some are rethinking the problem, "how to make sure our best talent can work from anywhere". As always people, their wellbeing and their growth is and will continue to remain at the heart of any organisation.

The key to remember is that different people need a different approach and your hybrid strategy should reflect on individual needs rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. This can be difficult to put into practice if not done right and that is exactly why we have put together our top six tips to keep in mind while planning and implementing your people and wellbeing strategy.

How Your Strengths Can Sometimes Become Weaknesses?

Anyhoo, we have been busy delivering training programs with a special focus on improving employee confidence. As part of that training, we have been discussing a great deal around understanding our strengths and weaknesses in order to communicate effectively and engage successfully.

There has been a great deal of conversation around when to tone up or tone down your strengths to match up with what is expected out of you. I love discussing this because more often than not we are not aware when we need to tone down our strengths in order to add value.

It is important that we play our strengths based on the situation and based on what is expected from us.

In my personal exeperience- I wear different hats, as a #MasterofCeremonies, #Speaker, #Trainer and #TVPresenter, I am expected to use different skills set in each role and it is very important to understand which #skill is needed where or despite being fantastic with your communication, you may still end up not receiving positive feedback.
