3 Steps to a Happier Team

Before long, the New Year will be upon us. We will be chasing new dreams and goals for ourselves and our businesses. In working with high-performing teams, I’ve found that planning is necessary and often gets completed with excitement and maybe even some fun. But, the planning falls flat when it’s not communicated or followed up on. On the other hand, pair planning with purpose-based communication outward and schedule regular check-ins and those plans become much more valuable. Here’s how you and your team can get on the fast track to success!

Share Your Gratitude

We all work with someone who we are grateful for. Maybe it’s a co-worker, a boss or even a vendor or customer. They help us shine, grow and have success at work. Of course, you know that you appreciate them, that you think they are amazing but, do THEY know you feel that way??? Don’t keep all those good thoughts to yourself, share them! Express your thanks and you will get a double whammy of goodness going at your workplace. You get to give the appreciation which makes them feel gooooooood and by giving, you’ll feel good yourself too! Give it a try, here’s how:

Take Different Look and Find Appreciation

It’s November and that means we are all thinking (maybe more than usual anyway) about thankfulness. I’d like to share a story with you about thankfulness and appreciation concerning beauty that wasn’t apparent at first, but with a change of perspective, it magically appeared. With that, I challenge you to consider, is there a part of your work, role, organization, product/service that you don’t appreciate that another person would? Find the beauty, it’s there!

Career Planning for Happiness

Half of our waking hours are spent at work yet we often enter into these relationships (yes – they are relationships – employment or contract-based) only asking a few questions that really don’t give us any idea of how happy we are. Further, we sometimes stick around jobs that make us unhappy, feeling stuck or bored. Nearly 70% of the workforce is disengaged! Ain’t nobody got time for that. Instead, I suggest we are intentional and examine ourselves, our values and our desires and create alignment in our work. When we do this, we will be happier!
