How often do you check yourself before you wreck yourself???
So I was sat in an office working… everyone was happy and busy doing their thing…
When all of a sudden *the boss* rushed through… and the energy completely shifted.
It was tense, it got really quiet and any positivity just vanished.
Whether you realise it or not you have an impact on the people around you…and how you feel and behave is affecting your team… which in turn affects your results and whether they stay or not.
Remember people don’t leave jobs… they leave their boss… and sometimes a boss doesn’t even realise they’re doing anything wrong. They’re actually just trying to make things work.
This isn’t about being everyone’s friend, or being jolly all the time… but it does mean really dialling up your Emotional Intelligence.
Here’s how:
1. Start again – decide how you’d like to impact your team and focus on that.
2. Check yourself before you wreck yourself – best advice ever and works in all the places. Keep checking in with how you feel and switch things up when you need to
3. Lead yourself first – Put things in place as an SOS if you need them for example… a walk round the block, 10 minutes away etc so you can sort yourself out before you impact others.
