Brain overload? Get a mental refresh with this week's podcast episode where myself and Debbie Green look at what neuroscience shows us helps to access quicker and deeper levels of human-led innovation, focus, creativity and problem-solving. In this second episode of our 4-part focus focusing on Maximising Personal Touch we look at how to think clearly when faced with complicated situations. A good listen for anyone who wants to think clearly through overwhelm, or take a colleague or team through some practical exercises that enable us to simplify complicated situations. #bemorefox #befluxible #workplace2030 #podcast #neuroscience #cognitive

A great podcast titled Relationships as Spiritual Practice. Exploring three categories of experience to support transformation in and through our relationships. https://lnkd.in/dZXMcBM7

“The one who knows all the answers has not been asked all the questions.” Confucius The questions we ask ourselves direct our thoughts and emotions. Our emotions and thoughts determine our actions. And our actions largely determine our success. In other words, the questions you ask yourself are at the core of your success. What kind of questions are you asking yourself? Are you asking yourself questions that: *challenge your thinking and internal biases? *explore through the lenses of self (internal and external), system and stakeholders? *encourage you to harness strengths and mitigate limitations? *support you to brainstorm potential solutions? *assist you to identify and unpack a powerful but realistic next step? Scintillate's self-coaching tools, a fusion of key coaching methodology, self-reflection and technology, are an efficient, effective and affordable solution for unlocking the power of high-quality self-reflection. Today is the last chance for Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL) members and alumni to receive exclusive access to a suite of 6 self-coaching tools. It's been great to see such a positive uptake from IECL alumni and members and I look forward to sharing some exciting updates and developments in the near future. Cheers, Lincoln

📕📗📘📙Book announcement: *Drop the Disorder + Do Something* is ready to pre-order Order here: https://lnkd.in/evaJsUdw I am honoured to be one of the many authors of this powerful new book. We join in challenging the dominant culture of psychiatric diagnosis that causes so much harm, while hiding behind a mask of love. Among the authors are high-profile names such as 'V' (formerly known as Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues), child therapist Kate Silverton and Canadian physician Gabor Maté (The Myth of Normal), leading researchers and writers, including professors Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett (The Spirit Level) and Joanna Moncrieff; Robert Whitaker of madinamerica.com, and frontline campaigner Jacqui Dillon, alongside a host of other activists, service users and refusers, poets, artists, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists and other practitioners and leaders in the mental health and homeless sectors who are trying to do things differently in their own spheres. *About the book: The culture of psychiatric diagnosis causes harm. It labels people in distress. It silences them. It takes away their individuality and agency. At its worst, it removes their human rights. It only asks, 'What's wrong with you?' and doesn't ask, 'What happened to you?' (Perry and Winfrey, 2021) It fails to acknowledge the complexity of an individual's story and their social context. This book's message is 'do something', and its hard-hitting and inspiring chapters tell us why and how. https://lnkd.in/evaJsUdw

STRATEGIES FOR SHADOW RESOLUTION TO FOSTER POST-CONVENTIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS I spent some time this weekend discussing shadow and shadow resolution . Here are some strategies from this discussion that I hope you might find useful. SELF-REFLECTION AND AWARENESS Cultivating self-awareness is essential for recognising patterns of behaviour or thought that may be rooted in unconscious aspects of our personality. Noticing what we notice in any moment, particularly when we are triggered is an important step in developing self -awareness. COACHING AND COUNSELLING Seeking professional help from a coach or counsellor trained in shadow work can provide a safe space to explore and address deep-seated issues that may be inhibiting personal growth and development. JOURNALING AND CREATIVE EXPRESSION Expressing our thoughts and emotions through journaling, art, or other creative outlets can help illuminate hidden aspects of our shadow. Creative expression can allow for a deeper exploration of complex feelings and experiences. MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION Practicing mindfulness and meditation will cultivate a sense of presence and inner peace. These practices can help us observe our thoughts and emotions (without judgment), making it easier to identify and work through shadow elements. SHADOW WORK PROCESSES Engaging in specific shadow work exercises, such as dialoguing with different aspects of ourself or exploring our dreams can shed light on our unconscious patterns and beliefs, paving the way for resolution and growth. Specific activities include Perceptual Positions, and Wilber 3:2:1 Process ACCEPTANCE AND INTEGRATION Learning to embrace all facets of our being, including the shadow aspects of self through accepting that we are whole, even with our shadow self, is crucial for fostering inner harmony and moving towards post-conventional vertical development. SEEKING FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT Engaging with trusted wise friends, mentors, or development coaches who can provide feedback and support as we navigate our shadow work journey. External perspectives can offer us valuable insights and encouragement as we navigate the stages of vertical growth and transformation. By implementing strategies for shadow resolution, we can cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves, promote post-conventional development, and embark on a transformative journey towards greater self-realisation, integrity and authenticity. SAGE Thinking offers a developmental approach to shadow resolution.

The UK's recent warm weather has me re-reading an article in the American Psychological Association's member magazine 'Monitor on Psychology' entitled, "How heat affects the mind". Yes, continuous or extreme exposure to heat causes hyperthermia and 10-28% of those experience persistent brain damage and in less extreme heat existing mental health symptoms are exacerbated. However, of more regular use, lower exposure heat stress also creates aggression in individuals which generates responsive aggression in others - simply put, arguments are more common when people are hot. Intuitively, we know this, but in the workplace this means that conflict is more likely during the summer months. Additionally, exposure to heat stress is linked to a reduction in cognition. So, problem solving and collaboration are more difficult or less productive during the summer months and could even lead to the aforementioned conflict. Like my last post, these are real-world examples where self-awareness, emotional intelligence and adaptability are critical in real life to reduce future organisational issues in the workplace. Simply recognising the risk of warm weather, being more connected to people and then consciously choosing when to have combative or collaborative discussions could make all the difference.

Since I posted about American Psychological Association's article on "How heat affects the mind", they have now released a podcast on the topic: Last year—2023—was the world’s warmest on record, and 2024 could bring another record-shattering summer. Psychologist Kim Meidenbauer, PhD, and public health researcher Amruta Nori-Sarma, PhD, discuss how heat affects people’s mental health, emotions, and even cognitive abilities; the link between heat, violence, and aggression; who is most vulnerable to the effects of extreme heat; and what policymakers could be doing to mitigate its effects. https://lnkd.in/dgwxNGbm
