If you manage people, is this what you're noticing in your workplace? If yes, I'd love to hear about some of the ways you're navigating it!

Today's employees seek more than just a boss – they crave a manager who believes in their growth and development.

!! HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FAMILIES !! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Big or small
- Near or far
- Blood or chosen
or any other variation...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.. I hope you find a moment today to reflect on, and appreciate, the role of your family in your life. 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is something you appreciate about your family?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll go first... 🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I appreciate that even though we may not speak often, I know they're there for me whenever I need them ... and also that when we get together it's hard to have a whole conversation that doesn't end up in laughter! 😆🤣

I shared a little about my top strength theme, Communication 🗣 and wanted to give you an idea of what we call 'Top 5' strengths.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
CliftonStrengths is the tool I use to help clients discover the areas they have the most natural talent in. These strengths are what make you, YOU and the odds of someone else having the same top 5 strengths, in the same order, is ...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀.. 1 in 3️⃣3️⃣.3️⃣ MILLION!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can be assured that you are unique, and wonderful! 🎉🍾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are the top 5 themes that make ME unique (and wonderful 😉):
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Communication 🗣
People exceptionally talented in this theme generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists & presenters. (Stories... I LOVE to gather, and tell, stories!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Woo (Winning Others Over) 🙌🏼
People exceptionally talented in this theme love the challenge of meeting new people & winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice & making a connection with someone. (Strangers are just friends I haven't met yet!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Developer 📊
People exceptionally talented in this theme recognise & cultivate the potential in others. They spot the signs of each small improvement & derive satisfaction from evidence of progress. (aka "The Encourager")
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Activator 🎬
People exceptionally talented in this theme can make things happen by turning thoughts into action. They want to do things now, rather than simply talk about them. ("Can we start already?!")
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Responsibility 🗓
People exceptionally talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty & loyalty. (This one helps me to look ahead for bumps in the road)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I just took a look at my calendar for the next couple of weeks and took a deep breath. 🗓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coaching sessions, interview, networking events, photography shoot, coaching training, date night ... and packing & moving house!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's going to get hectic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of these things require an expenditure of energy - physically, mentally and emotionally. ♾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm going to need a plan! 📝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From a decade of trial & error, here's what I know to do:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ STOP CAFFEINE INTAKE 🚫☕️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I drink weak-long-blacks anyway but my nervous system has already stepped up to alert level 3, and adding stimulants to that is not going to help keep my Activator in check! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE, SCHEDULE
Work out what prep is needed for each activity and schedule as MUCH of it into my calendar as possible. Travel, charge camera batteries, chill ice-packs, put business cards in handbag... anything and everything! (Arranger, Responsibility & Harmony)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ STICK TO MY NORMAL EXERCISE AND EATING PLAN 🏋🏼‍♀️🥗Routines are KEY! For me, they're the foundation of every day. Also, I'm going to need energy and fuel - and this is how I'll get it. (Responsibility & Harmony)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ PRIORITISE SLEEP! 🛌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My mind will try to convince me that "there's just so much to do!" and to "start ALL of it NOW!" (Hi Activator). In the calm before the storm, however, I know that if I don't get enough sleep it's all going to fall to pieces (Responsibility being a touch over-dramatic).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5️⃣ RECHARGE 🔋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the end, I've blocked out a day to do absolutely nothing. I'll probably spend rearranging the kitchen cupboards... but knowing the option is there to do nothing relaxes my mind.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you ever look ahead to manage your energy?
