Luminate Leadership

🧘♂️ Mindfulness: From Awareness to Action 🧘♀️ We all know the benefits of mindfulness and meditation; better focus, less stress, improved well-being. But as Cooper Chapman from the The Good Human Factory reminds us, knowing isn’t enough. “You don’t get the benefits unless you take the action.” 💡 It’s time to bridge the gap between awareness and action. Start small: ✔️ Take 1 minute to focus on your breath. ✔️ Try a 5-minute guided meditation. ✔️ Journal one thing you’re grateful for today. 🎙️ Listen to the full podcast for more actionable insights:https://lnkd.in/gvVbPwP6 💬 What’s one action you’ll take today for your mental health?

🌟 Mental Health is a Journey, Not a Destination 🌟 In this snippet from the latest Lead with Courage podcast episode, Cooper Chapman shares a powerful analogy for mental health: it’s like a treadmill. While we may strive for the carrot of “perfect mental health,” life has a way of pulling us back toward mental illness if we don’t take consistent action. Cooper challenges us to shift from mental health awareness to mental health action by asking ourselves: ✅ What small, daily steps can I take to stay on the treadmill and move forward? ✅ How can I make mental health maintenance a regular part of my life? It’s not about perfection; it’s about persistence. 💪 🎙️ Listen, and get inspired to take action: 👉 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gvVbPwP6 💬 What’s one action you take daily to care for your mental health?

On Monday we celebrated the official wrap up of our Mentor Squad with our friends from LSKD. To celebrate the 6 months of mentoring, the mentees and the mentors shared their experiences, wins and the impact the program had on each person professionally and personally. Bearing witness to the stories of growth, transformation, courage, challenges overcome and the advancement of people in their career was truly inspiring. Such a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through generosity of time and mentors sharing their experiences and expertise. Equally, the benefit gained for the mentors from the insights and passion of the mentees. Always a mutually beneficial experience. Thank you to everyone involved in our 2024 Mentor Squad! We appreciate your support!

As we move through December, the feedback we hear across all industries is how exhausted people are feeling. Add end of year deadlines, countless events and upcoming family gatherings, the month is hardly slowing down. We are heading the expressions such as “ I just need to get through this (insert day/week/chapter) and then I’ll be ok!” However the risk is, the present moment is actually all we have. Instead, how can we create small changes in our daily routine that build resilience and can create less stress and give us the opportunity to experience more joy!? That’s one of the conversations we have in our “BUILDING RESILIENCE” workshop we ran with Place Estate Agents Woollongabba and Annerley this week, as part of our quarterly development sessions with everyone in the business. A huge thanks to James Curtain , Angela Curtain , Mitchell Smith Denis Najzar and the whole team for your dedication to investing in the growth of your amazing team!
