    "People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they're doing," is what Dale Carnegie tells us.

    Having fun at work contributes to team morale, stress reduction, creativity and innovation and a great workplace.

    Yet, we often equate fun with distraction and loss of productivity. Join us today to explore why fun is important at work and some small ways we all can incorporate more FUN into our work and lives!

  • Season 2 - Episode 2 | Don't Be Afraid To Push Someone

    Encouraging others to embrace and overcome challenges is a crucial aspect of effective leadership. By setting ambitious goals, leaders create opportunities for personal and professional growth, pushing their team members to expand their skills and capabilities.

    The pursuit of challenging objectives also sparks creativity and innovation, as individuals strive to find inventive solutions to overcome obstacles. Additionally, facing and conquering challenges builds resilience within the team, fostering a workforce that can adapt and rebound from setbacks.

    Encouraging individuals to grow, though, can be met with resistance manifesting in various ways. For instance, the fear of failure and a reluctance to leave the comfort zone are common hurdles, as individuals grapple with the uncertainty of change. A lack of confidence in their abilities and the fatigue from continuous challenges can also impede growth. Insecurity, whether stemming from self-doubt or external comparisons, may contribute to resistance. Among many other reasons.

    Listen to this week's episode to get some ideas that can help you hone your leadership skills and start pushing others to success!
