In a lot of companies, trust is based on fear of being punished for violating trust but also on the rewards one receives from preserving it. 

Hopefully, it is not the only way trust is built. And more and more, other models of trust-building are finding their way into teams and companies.  

Finding trust in others, is recognising the value of trustworthiness. It can apply to people you work with// but also more broadly, to the company you’re in and the values and beliefs it upholds. So how do you tackle trust?

Some tasks are just plain boring or overwhelming. But when you find the right middle between challenging and motivating you enter what is called, “the Zone”. Flow state is a mental state that facilitates productivity and predicts that the balance between a task difficulty and the individual ability to achieve it, boosts motivation.

In this episode, we dig into flow theory and how concretely mastering it to make work more purposefully.

If by the end of the episode you have any question about flow, purpose or collaboration, you can write to me at [email protected]

Have you ever faced this situation: you are in a meeting with 10 - 15 people, as per usual, the same people are talking, displaying their knowledge and opinion, almost as if they owned the room. Maybe it's your manager, or colleagues saying what the manager wants to hear, pushing their ideas. On the other side of the room, the same people, as per usual, listening and agreeing in silent. Or are they?

Once upon a time, an ancient form of storytelling called the « Hero’s Journey » was born. Since then, it has been used many times as a model for fiction writing.

Such tales tell goes as follows; a hero receives a call to adventure / which prompts them to go on a journey paved with obstacles before coming back to their world, enriched and matured.

Notorious example, Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. She starts her journey in a place of boredom, wishing to find a place where she’ll be out of trouble. During a quest, her goal is to go back home and will successfully do so after overcoming challenges.

I feel that this storytelling structure would work in real life, because I do see some parallels. 

Facing scary challenges to grow and find confidence ?

So, how do heroes overcome obstacles ?

If you have questions, BURNING questions about purpose and/or collaboration, feel free to send me an email (or a vocal) at [email protected] so Nadja, Laurent and I can answer it soon!

P.S: You'll hear Laurent changing voice at 2:05. I tried to correct a mistake but it didn't go as expected. Please know that when Laurent says "stand in for" he really means "stand UP for". Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.

Some people stick to what's familiar to them, even if this means staying in pain. 

But for others, the uncertainty that comes with change can lead to uncomfortable feelings. But why is that? 

We can maybe relate it to a kind of catch up effect. A phenomenon that occurs where we want to make changes in our lives and fear that things that have made sense all along will not follow the newness that is coming. 

It's kind of a fear of disconnection with things and people we like and of finding ourselves in an uncertain situation.

But change, though scary and unpredictable, can be addressed from a place of security and stability. This place is found in your purpose.

We believe that everything comes down to the purpose. Living your purpose individually or together with others isn't something that happens overnight. We want to give you tools and ideas to understand purpose, its magic and how to truly live it in life and in collaboration.
