  Workplace Bullying

  23/11/2020

  13:49

  What does bullying feel like? Has anyone ever belittled you, humiliated you, or made you feel uncomfortable or intimidated? Bullying still goes on and we need to go out of our way to ensure we stamp it out. Bullies need to be confronted but often their behaviours go unchecked. They either intentionally choose to behave as they do, or they are leaders struggling to cope and need help.

  Challenging Beliefs

  16/11/2020

  8:11

  Following Brexit and the U.S. elections, we see more nations divided and it's easy to question what the 'other' side must be thinking, when the only rational approach is our way. But how often do we go out of our way to understand that opposing view - when did you last say 'help me understand why you believe what you do'? Instead we surround ourselves by like-minded people, creating echo-chambers in our social media followings.

  Reflective Practice

  26/10/2020

  8:54

  Times of extreme stress or change can impact upon our perspective, resulting in us often seeing threats that may or may not be present. We cannot always trust our senses  as the amygdala goes into overdrive causing us to emotionally react. Taking time to think allows us to challenge our beliefs and assumptions about what we thought might have happened versus what actually happened.  It can reduce our stress levels and allow us to take learning allowing us to make better decisions going forward.

  Your Music Collection And Your Values: Amrit Sandhar

  19/10/2020

  11:24

  We are all driven by personal values. They dictate how we think and how we behave, but when asked, it's often challenging to articulate our values. We know they exist, and how influential they are, but trying to help others understand them, or more importantly, taking time to better understand them for ourselves can be a struggle. Whilst we don't often think about analysing our music collections, they could tell us a lot about what we value. Those pieces of music that emotionally resonate with us - that have the ability to bring us to tears, might hold a clue into our personal values. Amrit shares how a conversation sparked him to explore what his music was telling him about what he most values.
