  • Say Yes To Boredom

    Boredom is a feeling and feelings are the language of the body.

    Feelings are the results of thoughts so if and when we are bored we don't want to rush and kill the boredom with any stimuli and instead we want to get curious and understand why what we are thinking that makes us feel bored.

    Boredom is the lack of stimulation, but is different from apathy where we are accepting the status quo, and instead we want to do something about it.

    Tune in as I unfold this interesting emotion that is often the door to our most creative mind.

    • Why only 5% of the world's population practices mindfulness

      Mindfulness and meditation are practiced today by only 5 % of the world's population. 

      95% of people either cannot see the point or are not committed enough to stick to this ancient practice.

      Why? 

      This was my question and now I have the answer.

      This week I am reframing this activity, breaking it down to its basic component and I am sharing with you why I finally got myself and my clients to adopt it. We have the compelling reason we want to get the new habit to stick.

      Spoiler: I am not asking you to sit for four hours on the top of the Himalaya - I promise you.

    • 4 Core Behaviours to Upgrade Your Conversations

      4 core behaviours to upgrade your conversations.

      Conversations can tell a lot about the company culture and I like to think of them as your operating system over which you then run all the applications / company's functions.

      Getting better at communicating and putting some thoughts on how we go through our conversations can have incredible benefits in terms of growth, motivation, performance and happiness.

      More and more organisations are seeing the value of Project Managements Skills, tools and practices beyond the professionals with that title.

      In particular, I will be discussing:

      - The Project Charter as a way to get everybody aligned and its key elements.

      - The Initiation phase of the project and the KEY question you want to ask before start diving into planning and resourcing.

      - The Debrief - key moment(s) to celebrate the successes and reflecting on all the lessons learned on the way to get (even) better the next time around.

      Warmest,

      Chiara
