TEAMS365 #2287 – Journaling Prompt 93

4/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Recent weeks have found a majority of the population in one place – their homes. For most it’s been a renaissance of found time to get things done that we haven’t done around the house for a while – get things fixed/in order, catching up on book reading, spending time connecting with friends we have not talked to in a while.

I’ve been using what extra time I have to continue learning. No surprize as “LEARNER” is one of my strengths. It was my ongoing learning as a young leader in South America that anchored me in earlier days when the context I operated within was turbulent. Today, I have found solace again in the simple art of learning. Of reading. Of hearing someone else speak.

From podcasts to on-demand courses, learning can take many forms. I can see by the metrics that our Remote Pathways podcast downloads have gone up. I can see that web visits are up. I can see that more people are completing on-demand courses over at the Learning Lab and Design Studio as well as over at the Teams365 portal.

This week’s prompt is “I want to learn about….”. What do you want to learn about? What is important to explore right now?

I hope you will enjoy this week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt!
​
Have a great Saturday,
Jennifer

Additional questions you may want to consider are:

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to consider the prompt of “6 words to describe my home:”. What are the six words you would use to describe your home?

Spacious? Cozy? Homey? Showcase?

Our homes are our sanctuary as well as a purposeful place. How would you describe your home? What’s important to note about your home?

Best,
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2266 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 90

Who are you? How do people see you?

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to think in terms of how you are unique.

What are the six words you would use to describe yourself? What’s important about who you are?

One of the assessments I like to use in my work as a coach is the StrengthsFinder from Gallup. As they indicate, the chances of two people having the same Top 5 strengths is one in 33.4 million. Read this article about this from Gallup.

In a world in which things can seem commoditized, AND people are worried about Artificial Intelligence, we might take heart to recognize that we are all unique.

This weekend I hope you will enjoy reflecting on the question – "6 Words to Describe Me Are…"
​
Maybe you outreach to others and also ask them what they think.
 
Enjoy the reflection!

TEAMS365 #2259 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 89 – LOVE

3/7/2020

“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is a quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through the good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.” -Ann Landers

Welcome back to another Saturday weekly journaling prompt. This week’s prompt is simply the word LOVE.

Like past weeks, I hope that this week’s prompt provides you with the space to explore ideas such as:
  • WHAT do you LOVE right now?
  • What are your passions?
  • If you were to create a top 10 list of the thins you LOVE this year, what would it include?
  • WHO do you LOVE?
  • How do you demonstrate LOVE?
  • What do you LOVE about your business and what you do every day?
  • If you run a business or lead a team, what do you LOVE?

I hope that you enjoy your reflections!
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2252 - Happy Leap Year Day! Several of the Teams365 Series You Will Want to Check Out

2/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
This year we get an extra day. Every four years a leap year occurs. February 29th was actually the birthday of one of my grandmothers. She was born in 1904. As a little girl, I thought it would be so neat to be born on leap year. What do you want to dedicate the extra time to today?

Given it’s a special day, I thought it would be interesting to look back at some of my favorite series over the last four years since we last had a leap year day.

If you haven’t had a chance to take a look at these past posts, do take a look at the following:
  • 20 Activities for Virtual and Remote Teams, such as #11 on Conflict Management – read it here.
  • Remote Work Myths – Read one of the more recent ones here – Remote Does Not Equal Disconnected
  • Weekly Journaling Prompts each Saturday – View the 80 plus in the series here.
  • Monday’s Effective Virtual Conversations tips - check them out here.

These tips map to my 2017 book – Effective Virtual Conversations. If you are needing to shift your workspace to the remote or virtual domain, this might be a great book to pick up. It covers some of the foundations of holding more effective virtual meetings, learning and team sessions.
 
Given that’s it’s the last day of February I thought it would be interesting to highlight some of our focus areas this month. What was to focus more on Collaboration and Relationships at the top of the month, became much more focused on one of our specialty areas – remote working – given the significant impact health events have had this month.

You’ll want to check out some of the posts including:
Teams365 2227 – Ingredients for Making Remote Relationships Work
Teams365 Tip 274 - Calibrate
Teams365 2241 –Differences when working remote: part 1
Teams365 2242 – More Differences when working remote
Teams365 2235 – Remote Work Myth – Remote Does Not Equal Disconnected
Teams365 2243: February 20 – Remote Work Enabler #2 – Boundaries
Teams365 2240 - Effective Virtual Conversations Tip – Matrix Tip – What’s the priority?

​Enjoy your exploration and have a great Leap Year Day!
