My blog last week on #LockdownWindow was all about Wellbeing.

At Harmonics, we are listening and responding.

Our Partnership with the Happiness Index has enabled us to launch our Wellbeing Survey.

We know creating a great culture to attract and retain talent is more challenging with remote working. Our Wellbeing Survey gives you back invaluable data 24/7 so you as an Employer can act swiftly to look after your people.

This technology platform is the best we have seen and proud to partner with the Happiness Index in Ireland.

The power of a beginner’s mindset in times of change

“It’s hard to reach a certain stage and have to start learning again”

At the turn of the last century, two bicycle builders became the first in the world to fly a plane. They won the race against the expert astronomer, physicist and inventor, Samuel Langley who was backed by €2 million in grants (in todays money) to complete the project

So what was their secret formula?

The Wright Brothers had a Beginners Mindset and began exploring with curiosity. They took a design thinking approach, they knew they would fail many times, but every experiment was an opportunity to learn.

Langley, however was weighed down by rules and theory and years of expertise in his field. He had an Expert Mindset, he discounted many possibilities and narrowed his options too fast.

In a recent coaching session, a Senior Leader said to me “It’s hard when you reach a certain stage in your career and have to start again”. He fears making a mistake, fears asking for help. His ego is getting in his way.

I would encourage anyone fearing change to combine your current knowledge and expertise with the curiosity of the beginners mindset.

In todays world, we are all beginners, we have never experienced a time like this. We need to let go much of what we know to be true

The Wright’s were right:) #curiousity

Turning Well Meaning Into Real Well Being During Lockdown

Every call I have had this week, the topic of well being has been mentioned.

One client is doing a Well Being fortnight, another has Wellness Wednesdays where no online meetings are supposed to happen…but they still do!

These HR led initiatives highlight a focus on taking care of ourselves.

The real question is how do we turn well meaning for well being into feeling well and confident to face the future through lockdown?

Our work and life environments have changed and are likely to never go back to where they were pre-covid.

Many of us are on Zoom or Teams calls all day with one glimpse of the outside world through our #LockdownWindow in my case my skylight window.

This isolation is having a huge impact on people. At Harmonics, we are on a mission to help Organisation Leaders truly listen and care for their people.

Leaders and Managers need to purposely build even greater emotional connections with their people by creating the time for quality conversations.

We have used the Lockdown to create new technologies like Employee Voice 24/7 to work as an internal communications coach and our Future Readiness Index to enhance our 5 Step Career Conversations Masterclass series
