QUOTE OF THE MONTH

Our minds are like Parachutes learn more at Mindstore Training

“Minds are like parachutes… they only function when open!”
This great quote comes from Thomas Dewar the famous Scotch whisky distiller. I use it at the start of most of my sessions. “Open your mind to what we are sharing and learning today. Some of it you will have heard about before and it will just be at the right time for you now. Some things you will never have heard of before, but open your mind to the possibilities of including them in your professional and personal lives.”

Think of the consequences the opportunities missed if we remain closed minded. That reminds me of a recent joke advert I saw:
“Parachute for sale. Only used once.Never opened. Small Stain”.

Resilience Tips for the New Financial Year

Respond to change with confidence & flexibility

Resilience is the topic for an upcoming in-house workshop for a client and when thinking about creating and designing the content for the client I happened to look out of my window and noticed how windy it was today.

I saw that the palm trees just flex with the wind, whereas the larger trees resisted the wind. This got me thinking about Resilience.
Whenever the recent tornados struck in the USA, houses were ripped out of their foundations and all that was left were the palm trees in the front yards.

It made me think we are like that, we attempt to weather the winds of change, to be inflexible to changes and to resist them with all our energy, until it is too much for us and we break.

Why put ourselves through this?

Look at natures palm trees and how they adapt to the changing winds. Once the winds abate they just bounce back, pop right up straight again and continue to flourish.
So when you are faced with unexpected hurricane winds, that destroy your confidence and force challenging situations on to you.  Remember be like a parachute, open your mind, then flexibly adapt to the changes around you and be like a palm tree. Simple!
Einstein said “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” so if your current approach to a situation no longer works,discover how to learn to think differently. Adapt.

Being Resilient gives you the ability to quickly adjust your thoughts and actions to respond with confidence to the new situation.

As we kick off into a new financial year, lets make the time and financial commitment to learn and develop ourselves, our colleagues and our teams. Invest in yourself and your teams, begin to use the Resilience tips you have learned in the past.
