Cultural Shifts, Continuing On
You’ve done beautifully!
It’s time to celebrate your change and commit to following this through to its next phase.
Be pleased with yourself and each other.
Our leadership team commits to the following for 3 months:
1 meditation per day,
Dropping social media at work,
Building simple presence and awareness, through breath, relaxation, mantra and a smile,
Taking a break from speaking when angry,
1 monthly check in meetings.
Monthly Cultural Shift Meetings provide an opportunity to build solidarity within the changes that you’re experiencing. Make sure you know who’s scheduling them and how to keep them going when Kirsy is away.
Here’s a meditation to listen to as a team, prior to checking in on how things are going.
The Cultural Shift Meetings are a great place to practice what you’ve learned in this program. For instance,
Let yourself be a continual beginner at everything you’re learning here. Be gentle with yourself and each other.
How can you integrate “I Am Presence” while listening to others? When you breathe deeply and silently repeat “I Am Ease” or “I Am Peace” does it change how you feel?
Notice something wonderful about each person, perhaps have a couple of rounds of gratitude for each other to help build support.
When the energy within you or the group becomes stressful, take notice. See what happens when you relax your shoulders, smile or imagine roots growing from your feet. Let the stress turn into ease with your breath.
Try talking about a dilemma at work slowly, with awareness. Talk about how your nervous system responds. Are you able to stay at ease or does it cause your nerves to light up? Observing your responses can act as a tool of transformation.
Feedback Protocol:
Touch base on the protocol you’ve decided on for offering employee feedback. How’s it going? Do you need suggestions to help it become more impactful? Ask for input if you’d like it. Or, if you don’t currently need input, be kind and clear about that.
Remember to consistently notice how amazing the employees are doing. It’s easy to notice what needs betterment, it takes practice to notice their strengths.
It’s effective to sandwich constructive criticism with authentic compliments:)
Feel free to give our last session a listen if you are needing a little more support! xo
