TEAMS365 #2483 – Weekly Journaling Prompt #121- What’s the Flipside?

10/17/2020

One of my favorite coaching questions is “What’s the Flipside?” This is a great question, designed to get us thinking about topics in a different way. This weekend as you go about your journaling, what is the flipside of the current challenge you are facing? OR what is the flipside of your biggest opportunity?

Enjoy your writing!

TEAMS365 #2476 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 120

10/10/2020

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt invites you to dive into the waters around your current opportunities and challenges and consider the question – To Go Deeper Means….

What are the layers below the surface? What are the things that are under the waterline?

In my writing, PlanDoTrack, I include exercises for virtual and remote professionals to go below the waterline of the visible results we see. Living below the surface of our actions reside elements including:

Values
Beliefs
Assumptions
Perspectives
Habits
Mindset

What do you notice about each of these? How are these influencing you, directly and indirectly?

Enjoy your writing this weekend!

TEAMS365 #2469 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 119

10/3/2020

Welcome to our weekend journaling prompt! This weekend’s prompt is “Frameworks include….”

What are the frameworks you are grounding your work in?

Frameworks are useful for a number of reasons:

#1 - They put a boundary around things. This can help to keep things contained or IN FOCUS.

What are the boundaries you have enacted?

How do your frameworks keep things in focus?

#2 - They help with communication.

In this week’s journaling maybe you want to sketch out the steps in your frameworks, or present it in a different way – an iconograph instead of text.

What is the map of your framework?

What do you see as the frameworks which help guide you, your actions and your focus?

Enjoy your journaling!

TEAMS365 #2466 – Wrapping up Q3 and Stepping into Q4

9/30/2020

It’s the last day of Q3 and we’re just about to step into Q4. Who is ready to step forward? Before we go there, I’d like to invite you to take 10 minutes or more today to do a brief reflection on your experience. If you prefer to do the reflection by video, take a look at this Quarterly Review Video I recorded 18 months ago as we moved from Q1 to Q2 2019. The questions are evergreen and don’t expire.

Grab pen and paper and take a look at this…

Best wishes,
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2462 - Weekly Journaling Prompt 118

9/26/2020

Welcome to another Saturday journaling prompt. This week’s prompt is the question “My focus is….”.

“The direction of your focus is the direction your life will move. Let yourself move toward what is good, valuable, strong and true.” – Ralph Marston

You may want to consider these questions this week as part of your journaling:

Where is your attention right now?
What are you focusing on?
What are you not paying attention to?
What’s the benefit of having such a strong focus?
What’s the downside to your focus?

Enjoy your reflections!

TEAMS365 #2455 – Saturday’s Weekly Journaling Prompt 117

9/19/2020

This week’s Thursday Team Building Tip got you to explore the question “What’s getting in the way”. Today’s Weekly Journaling Prompt is all about the question “Another way to look at this is….”.

Reframing and shifting perspectives are key to success in turbulent and ever-changing environments.

Consider your biggest challenge right now – What’s another way to look at it?
To get inspiration around different ways to work with perspectives, consider adopting a methodology like DeBono’s Six Thinking Hats. You can read more about this process here.

What’s possible by shifting your perspective?

Enjoy your reflections!

TEAMS365 #2441 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 115

9/5/2020

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to think about the question “Key learning for me this year has been…."

As we step into what is often referred to as the second new year (Labor Day), it can be a great time to take stock of the year. While 2020 is likely not to have been anything like we anticipated, what have you learned this year? What has helped you? What are the elements which are key?

Enjoy your weekend reflections.

If you are interested in learning more about journaling and why it can be a valuable strategy, check out this recent article “ How Journaling Can Help You in Hard Times” from Kira M Newman, posted at the Greater Good Science Center. You can read it here.

Wishing you the best,

TEAMS365 #2434 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 114

8/29/2020

Welcome back to another Saturday Weekly Journaling Prompt. This week’s WJP is number 114 in the series. It asks the question:

What are you truly excited about right now?

When we are able to tap into the river of excitement that can course through our body, and soul, it’s likely that we are tapping into that magical place called FLOW. At moments of flow, time takes on new meaning. Things may feel magical. And it’s usually a signal that we are doing the things we are MEANT to.

What are you noticing about FLOW moments?

What are you noticing about what you are truly excited about?

What do you need to say YES to in order to cultivate more of that?

What do you need to say NO to in order to create more space for the flow?

As we wrap up today’s post, here’s a quote about FLOW from the author himself:
“To overcome the anxieties and depressions of contemporary life, individuals must become independent of the social environment to the degree that they no longer respond exclusively in terms of its rewards and punishments. To achieve such autonomy, a person has to learn to provide rewards to herself. She has to develop the ability to find enjoyment and purpose regardless of external circumstances.”
― Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

Reading this book as a young university student in the early 1990s has been transformational in the work I do and in the way I structure my time. What’s going to support you with flow?

Best wishes,
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2428 – Week in Review

8/23/2020

Welcome back to another Sunday post. This week was one of the highlight weeks of my summer and I want to thank all of you who joined me for the Stand Out Virtually! Challenge. This week I held 5 daily calls around topics related to Standing Out in the virtual space.

We covered:

Core Foundations
Visuals
Connection
It’s all about the (PACE) Change
And it’s all about the conversation

What are you taking away from the experience?

I hope that you will join us in the VRVH Facebook group (Virtual and Remote Visionaries Hub). You can find it here.

What’s important for you to note about your virtual conversations?

What’s important for you to take action on?

Thanks for joining us this week, and if you are interested in continuing the conversation, do join us in one of the Lab programs I host on Fridays.

Enjoy!
Jennifer
