ENERGY FOR TEAMS

“Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential”

 – Sheryl Sandberg

Key SWA Insights / Approach

 

Recognise that many people have lost the reference points that have defined their self-esteem

A fresh understanding of self-worth unleashes new energy and transforms how people behave (for example, in meetings)

While self-esteem often leaves people chasing validation, self-worth empowers them with the courage to focus on value

Your value depends primarily on usefulness – not evaluations, experience, skills or technology. Not even nice comments about you!

SERVICES FOR TEAMS

A deep sense of self-worth changes how people engage with each other. They bounce back from setbacks and are free to focus on being interested rather than trying to be interesting. Self-worth is a key that unlocks creativity, resilience and better team relationships.

SKILLS TO ENERGISE TEAMS

1.    Understanding how you get your energy: six possible sources
2.    The significance of self-worth in terms of your energy and focus
3.    Time-management understood as Energy + Focus: building healthy routines for career-development, self-care vs. being overwhelmed by the job
4.    Introducing yourself with impact, making a strong first impression
5.    Impactful communication in presentations, emails and day-to-day meetings
6.    Building trust in virtual meetings
7.    Preparing for reviews by collecting clear evidence of value, not just subjective / arbitrary adjectives or judgements
6.    Dealing with difficult people, strengthening self-worth
7.    Networking skills, for a post-pandemic world
8.    Communicating the value of what you do (vs. your methodology, qualifications or experience)
9.    Managing stress and anxiety
10.    Being an effective mentor / leader: a model among peers

“The timing of this course coincided with a new job, a new project and an imposed quarantine (COVID-19), so not an easy period. The self-worth approach helped me to gain respect for my time. I can now exercise choice about how I take care of my attention, my work, myself. As a result, I have more energy and less anxiety. I am more focused and productive.”
