TEAMS365 #2607 - Team Building Tip 279 – What will help with focus?

2/18/2021

Yesterday I wrote about some of the lessons learned so far in the 21 for 21 series of virtual co-working sprints I’ve held in January and February. One of the big benefits of this, as identified by participants has been the focus created around Getting Important Things Done.

This week’s team building tip is the question “What will help with focus?”.

Enjoy your conversations,
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2558 – Year End Stock Taking

12/31/2020

2020 has been a year of many things unexpected. It’s been an opportunity to change and grow and involved tons of learning for everyone who had to pivot or double down on their work. As we go to wrap up the year, I want to wish you and your loved ones all the best for a new year!

Here are several questions I hope you will find useful as you go to undertake your year end stock taking:

1. What's been your biggest success for you this year?
2. What are you most proud of accomplishing?
3. What were your greatest results?
4. What habits have you cultivated?
5. What routines ground you?
6. What changes do you want to make as you step into the new year?
7. What three adjectives sum up the year for you?
8. What were key relationships instrumental to your success and experience this year?
9. What has been your biggest, and most important, learning this year?
10. Looking ahead, what are your key goals? What will wild success look like?
11. What do you want to make sure you keep doing in the new year? What do you want to stop doing?
12. What do you want to acknowledge yourself for?
13. What and how will you celebrate the successes of this year?

See you in 2021!
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2557 – The Year in Review – Key Themes for 2020 at the Teams365 Blog

12/30/2020

As we go to wrap up the year, I wanted to take a look back at the many different focus areas here at the blog during 2020. Some of you may know that this blog started as an experiment for me back on January 1st, 2014. I wanted to see what would happen if I dedicated time every day to writing. More than 2500 blog posts later, and several other books which were borne through this writing, the Teams365 blog continues to go strong.

As someone who has written about remote work for many years, 2020 brought it in, in volume. If you didn’t take a look at yesterday’s post around the Top 10 podcast episodes from the Remote Pathways for 2020, please take a look.

Some of the key themes we touched on this year included:

Team Effectiveness in the Remote Space
Virtual Productivity
Leading in Disruption
Leadership
Standing Out Virtually in the Remote Space
Remote Work Foundations
Team Essentials

I also continued with the regular weekly series as well, including:

Monday’s Effective Virtual Conversations tips AND the more recent Stand Out Virtually Ideas
Thursday’s Team Building Tips – Questions to incorporate into your work
Friday’s Flashback – dipping into more than 52 past posts
Saturday’s Weekly Journaling Prompts – what have you enjoyed about these?

I look forward to continuing to provide blogs and posts into 2021!

With best wishes,
Jennifer

TEAMS354 #2546 – Weekly Journaling Prompt #133

12/19/2020

This year’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to consider the question ‘This time next year, I hope….”

2020 has been a year of unexpected changes, the need to adapt and pivot, and certainly a lot of learning. Whether we were touched personally with health issues, job loss, a chance in livelihood, everyone on the planet has gone through a shared experience.

While things remain uncertain, the ability to cultivate hope, and a view to the future is important.

Today’s weekly journaling prompt gets you to think about the prompt “This time next year I hope …”

I hope that this invites you to pause, breathe and create…

Enjoy,
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2544 – Team Building Tip #274 – Calibrate

12/17/2020

This Thursday’s Team Building Tip is CALIBRATE. What do you want to focus on adjusting?

Calibrate is defined by the Oxford Languages as “adjust (experimental results) to take external factors into account or to allow comparison with other data.”
This week, as many teams go to wind down their work for a few weeks, consider as a team, what do you want to CALIBRATE?

What are the things you want to ADJUST to take external factors into account?

What are the areas you want to compare with other data?

What’s important as a team to have dialogue around right now?

Enjoy the conversation!
