TEAMS365 #2259 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 89 – LOVE

3/7/2020

0 Comments

“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!

2/22/2020

Happy Saturday! It’s time for another Weekly Journaling Prompt. This week’s prompt gets you to reflect on, and write about, “I feel supported by….”.

Consider:

What supports you?
What does support look like for you?
Visually, what are the images or icons which represent support for you right now?
If you don’t feel supported, what’s missing? What’s the type of support you want? What could support look like visually for you in the future?
What support can you offer others?

Enjoy this weekend’s Weekly Journaling Prompt!

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

For most of us in today’s world we work through a variety of relationships. Even if we work remote, it’s likely that we are part of a number of collaborations. Usually we think about what we can get from others. In today’s weekly journaling prompt, it flips it around to get you to think about the question “I have supported…..”.

Questions you might want to think about today are:
Who have you supported?
How have you supported?
What has your support meant?
What was possible because of your support?

Each Saturday I provide a different Weekly Journaling Prompt, getting you to think about, and write about, a different question.

What’s important for you to note today about support?

Enjoy your reflections!

TEAMS365 #2217 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 85 – In Focus

1/25/2020

0 Comments

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt brings us into a fun area of creating, or revisiting, your bucket list. Made popular several years ago, this is a list of special things we aspire to “someday”. It seemed to be enshrined into popular culture with the 2007 movie, The Bucket List.

Hopefully the someday is not a long time down the road. In fact, this past year there were a couple of items I checked off my bucket list – including participating in a weekend writing marathon up north in Muskoka. I had wanted to do it for almost 15 years and finally the stars aligned. Not only was it enjoyable, it was a very important creative spark for the entire Remote Pathways series. Take a listen into the latest episode of the Remote Pathways podcast I co-host with Michelle Mullins on a bi-weekly basis.

This week I hope you’ll take some time to reflect, and write, on the following questions:

What’s on your bucket list?
What have you recently completed on your bucket list? What was that like?
What needs to be added?
What can you do to keep this visible?
What can you do to enroll others in helping you build in space and/or time to work on completing your bucket list?

As I went to the web to see what was out there around bucket lists here’s a fun site with ideas and printables to support you on your bucket list journey.

Enjoy!
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2210 – 20 for 2020 – Day 18: Weekly Journaling Prompt 84

1/18/2020

0 Comments

Happy Saturday! What do you have planned this weekend? When are you going to build in some time to reflect on your week?

Today’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to think about your travels this year. The prompt is “My favorite trip this year has been….”. Travel has always been a passion for me, even when I was working and living overseas for more than a decade.

I love the learning and new insights caused by travel, as well as the freedom from my everyday routine.

I hope that this weekend you will find some time to reflect on your recent travels, and related insights/learning/observations.

With this now being #84 in the series, you may also want to dip into other posts including:
#81 – I want to put the following in my time capsule..
#77 – I am on the path to...

If you are journaling, are you also building in time to reflect and review what you have written? As you do so, you may want to be asking these questions:

What journey have you been on as you’ve been journaling?
What do you notice about themes across your writing?
What connections do you see across the posts?
What stands out/jumps out/emerges for you as you read it?
What is significant?

Enjoy the reflection,
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2206 – 20 for 2020 – Day 14: What’s below the waterline of your work?

1/14/2020

0 Comments

Metaphorically, there are a number of elements “under the waterline” in our work that aren’t seen but contribute to both our behaviors and our results. In my 2019 work, PlanDoTrack, I encourage remote workers to think about what are the things that are shaping their behaviors, results and impact. This could include – habits, beliefs, assumptions, mindsets and values.

These become a rich focus area for the work I do with teams in Team Days and in extended coaching conversations.

Habits – the things we do regularly and often subconsciously. Our habits shape what we put attention on, what we do. What do you notice about your habits? What are the habits which are helping the team? Getting in the way of team results?

Our beliefs and philosophies also have tremendous influence on what we pay attention to, what we prioritize and how we approach our work. This is an area which warrants much greater exploration for teams and individuals. Our beliefs may be deeply entrenched. Our philosophies may not be made explicit. What is the work for you to explore in this area?

Our mindsets – Authors such as Carol Dweck have dedicated their work to exploring the field of mindsets. What mindset do you embrace around your work and elements of your work? Are you an active learner with years of experience under your belt, or are you an expert? Do you embrace experimentation or do things have to be perfect? If you haven’t explored the realm of mindset and the work of authors such as Dweck, this may be of interest to you.

Again, our mindset will influence the activities we undertake and what we do.

Our values – What we value and what we take a stand for also influences our values. What are the values you hold as a team? An organization? An individual? If I hold a value of experimentation, I may be willing to try a lot of things that don’t work. This would be in contrast to (and potential conflict with) a team that values quality and would never let something go out the door before it was vetted multiple times. Our values will have a significant influence on our behaviors and therefore results. They may influence speed etc.

I hope that you will take a few minutes to map out your iceberg. If you are interested in exploring this more, contact us to discuss working 1-1 via coaching, or by bringing this into a team day session.

All the best,
Jennifer

TEAMS365 #2187 – Team Building Tip 268

12/26/2019

0 Comments

It’s Boxing Day here in Canada which used to be THE busiest day of shopping of the year, before Black Friday entered the scene here about a decade ago (we celebrate Thanksgiving in mid-October with the harvest, but most have widely embraced Black Friday!)

This week’s Team Building Tip gets you to think about:

WHAT you want to celebrate

And…

HOW you want to celebrate.

We don’t always slow down and take a moment to STOP and PAUSE and think about all the good things that we (individually and collectively) have accomplished.

While a pause doesn’t have to be for a long period, it can be useful to mark major milestones so that we see where our journeys are taking us.

Here’s an invitation for you today - I hope that you will take a few minutes today to mark down your key accomplishments this year and take a few minutes to share them with someone else. What’s possible for you now? If it’s hard to bring anything to mind, think about where you were a year ago. What’s different today? What’s shifted for you?

Enjoy!
Jennifer

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to undertake one of the positive psychology exercises we see as a happiness and well-being booster asking you to reflect on what you are grateful for. Positive psychology has a very well know daily practice called "the 3 things you are grateful for" where people are encouraged to reflect on, and write out 3 things they are grateful for.

Whether you do this once a week or on a daily basis, studies have found that getting into the habit of reflecting on, and articulating, what you are grateful for has impact on self-esteem, health (physiological, psychological) and relationships.

Read Amy Morin's 2014 article on 7 Scientifically Proven Benefits of Gratitude here.

Check out this White Paper on Gratitude from the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley - Download it here.

I hope that you will enjoy this week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt, and more importantly, find that it has longer term impact!

Enjoy your writing!
