Techniques to Avoid Resistance in Professional Dialogues Avoiding resistance is crucial for effective communication. Chunking up, a technique that involves summarising information into broader categories, can help align discussions with strategic goals and reduce resistance. This approach shifts the focus from details to overarching objectives, making it easier to find common ground. For example, when proposing a new initiative, emphasise its alignment with the company's long-term goals rather than getting bogged down in specifics. This broader perspective can mitigate resistance and foster agreement. Practicing chunking up in your conversations will help you navigate potential conflicts and ensure smoother interactions in professional settings. How can chunking up help you align your team's goals and reduce resistance?

Ever pondered the reasons behind the failure of certain change initiatives? It's frequently the aspect concerning human behaviour that tends to be disregarded. Vanessa Auditore's latest publication extensively explores the comprehension of fear, the management of resistance, and the cultivation of resilience. By arming yourself with the necessary tools for implementing successful change, you are better equipped to navigate the complexities of organisational transformation. Understanding the psychological barriers that can impede progress, such as fear of the unknown or resistance to change, is crucial in steering initiatives towards favorable outcomes. Auditore's insights shed light on the importance of addressing these human factors in any change management strategy. By honing your skills in these areas, you can enhance your effectiveness as a leader and positively impact the trajectory of your business. #OrganisationalChange #EmployeeEngagement #AdaptabilitySkills.

🌟 Empowering Leadership through "The Thought Leader's Code"🌟 I am truly honoured to share some wonderful feedback from participants of our latest Thought Leadership training, based on my book, "The Thought Leader’s Code: A 5-Step Blueprint." Participants rated the session 8/10, highlighting how the content resonated deeply with both their professional and personal lives. Every module was designed with immediate application in mind. I believe that leadership principles are most powerful when they can be put into action right away. 💡✨ What inspires me most? Hearing how participants found the training both practical and transformational. Their enthusiasm to recommend it to others reinforces the core of what I wrote in The Thought Leader's Code: that leadership is not just about leading others, but also about growing and guiding ourselves. If you are ready to dive into a leadership journey that blends purpose with real, actionable steps, I invite you to join us in our next training. Contact me to book the training for your team. #TheThoughtLeadersCode #PurposefulLeadership #LeadershipTraining #LeadWithImpact

Our latest paper out with Dr Joe Dispenza – “Let's keep calm and breathe”—A mindfulness meditation program in school and its effects on children's behavior and emotional awareness: An Australian pilot study This study aimed to understand how mindfulness meditation affects young people by examining its impact on self-regulation, happiness, emotional awareness, and school performance among two groups of school children. A 10-week mindfulness program was conducted by a meditation expert for 552 children aged 4–8 (Group 1) and 287 children aged 9–11 (Group 2). Results for the 4–8 years group (Group 1) showed meditation predicted an increase in happiness (R2 = .003, p < .001) and self-reported school performance (R2 = .005, p < .001) and a decrease in emotional (R2 = .017, p < .001) and behavioral difficulties (R2 = .009, p < .001); however, the effect sizes were small. In the 9–11 years group (Group 2), meditation predicted an increase in emotional awareness (R2 = .02, p < .001), and a decrease in emotional (R2 = .014, p < .001) and behavioral difficulties (R2 = .009, p < .001) as measured by scores from baseline to postintervention. For Group 2, there was no significant change in happiness over the 10 weeks. The findings support incorporating mindfulness meditation in schools, noting significant enhancements in self-regulation with just 5 min of daily practice. Practitioner Points -Daily meditation of just 5 min for 4–8-year-olds predicted an increase in happiness, self-reported school performance, and a decrease in emotional and behavioral difficulties. -Daily meditation of just 5 min in 9–11-year-olds predicted an increase in emotional awareness, and a decrease in emotional and behavioral difficulties, but no change in happiness. -Daily meditation of just 5 min over 10 weeks enhanced self-regulation in primary school children. Online link https://buff.ly/45liWzC This is open access and can be freely shared. p.s. this is a picture one of the students painted during the trial from Joe's meditations 💗
