How many developmental courses have YOU been on in the last 2 years?
One of the great things about this business is that we are always trying to develop our employees to their full potential.
When I speak to colleagues from other organizations they are amazed at how many courses I've been on and how interesting they appear to have been.
BUT....
What happens when we've completed these courses what do we do with all that knowledge that has been passed onto us???
In many cases - 'Chuff all' is the answer.
So ... My challenge to you is to revisit those course notes and pick out ONE inspiring piece of information that you could share with others AND...
SHARE IT.
I will start with a fantastic course I went on recently all about 'Mental Toughness '
If I could pass on one piece of information it would be as follows..
How to develop Self Esteem
1.Have a long term focus
2. Identify tangible successes
3. Identify non tangible achievements
4. Internalise rationally - Don't think crookedly!
5. Accept fallibility - let go of any perfectionist tendencies!
6. Continual reminders of successes and achievements _ BUILD YOUR OWN BELIEF WALL FULL OF YOUR WON ACHIEVEMENTS.
Mental toughness is a key to success in business and sport.
Take tennis for example here is just one tip tennis players use
Learn versatility. If you have only one playing style, and it's not working, your lack of strategic options also creates a shortage of mental safety valves.
A key factor in psychological health in general is feeling empowered to choose different courses of action. If you have a Plan B, C, and D on the tennis court, the failure of Plan A is unlikely to cause despair. Tennis players often lose because at least a part of them secretly gives up. You won't give up while you have something else to try. Learn to play every part of the court and hit every kind of shot with every kind of spin. You'll likely uncover a weakness in a seemingly invincible opponent. Variety makes the game more creative and interesting, too.
