Without a certain level of psychological safety existing in the workplace, I believe employees of all organizational levels become obstructed from delivering their best performance.  In this episode, I provide theoretical discussion regarding how time and team/organizational size influence our perception of psychological safety and articulate various steps that can foster it in the workplace.

Is psychological safety an area of your organization that could 'level-up'?  Do you need assistance in building a workplace culture that permeates safety so your people can perform at their best?

Our inner dialogue can vastly influence our mindset and emotional state when we find ourselves promoted into a new role or we're planning to switch industries.  We question whether we'll be successful, generate every possible scenario that could go wrong, and make a laundry list of things we need to immediately hit the ground running on.  Our episode focuses on the inner dialogue people often experience in the workplace and whether the questions being asked come from a place of fact or assumption.  How often you find yourself questioning your abilities and do you notice how it affects your work performance?

Sometimes the smallest solutions can lead to the biggest changes in our work performance, mindset, and emotions.  In this episode , I share my thoughts on the difference between the typical breaks we tend to experience in the workplace and authentic breaks.  Are you someone who sees their break as just killing time or are you using it to consciously renew, reset, and focus on the day ahead.  In either case, how we utilize our breaks can have a direct impact in our job performance. So, are you just killing time on break or seizing it to consciously renew?

If your struggling to find balance with work and life, chances are it's affecting your job performance and mindset.  Feel encouraged to reach out and utilize our coaching at: https://www.organizationalrnd.com/#contact

Our episode today focuses on the subject of Mindfulness; a type of meditation the encourages the individual to be presently aware of their surroundings without judgement or interpretation.  We begin by casually sharing how this technique is used in Sucker Punch Studio's recently released Playstation 4 game, Ghost of Tsushima, and I continue to share my overall thoughts about the topic. Enjoy!
