We love seeing our Greater Good Collective Alumni stepping up and sharing their expertise and experience with the world. It takes courage to put yourself out there but when it’s in service of something larger than yourself, the impact is undeniable. Your voice, your experiences, and your insights have the power to inspire others to think bigger and do better. Well done Rebecca Cutter 🔸💡🌍 #GreaterGood #LeadershipInAction #Inspiration #AlumniSpotlight"

Last week’s Espresso Club webinar was a deep dive into boosting your strategic thinking skills, and the insights were truly transformative! We demystified strategic thinking, showing it’s not just an abstract concept but a practical approach to creating insights that align with your future goals. Amid the daily hustle, developing strategic thinking is a game-changer for long-term success! Here are three key strategies we explored: - Practice Long-Term Future Thinking: Imagine where you want to be in 10 years. This perspective helps break free from immediate constraints and opens up new possibilities. - Scan Your Environment for Trends: Stay alert to industry and personal trends to spot opportunities and challenges early. This awareness is crucial for informed decision-making. - Make Confident Strategic Decisions: Gather insights, test assumptions, and balance data with intuition to make choices that propel you forward. Small decisions can have a big impact when made strategically! Thank you for the fantastic feedback on the session! 🌟 📣 "The 1-hour session agenda was clear, and there was a blend of group interaction and diving into the content." - L Ganfeng 📣 "I can't believe that was an hour. Learned so much, thank you!" - R Parsons 📣 "I really enjoy and gain a lot from the Espresso Club webinars each month." - S F Come join as an Espresso Club member to elevate your leadership skills and mindset! https://lnkd.in/gEZaD8XK #StrategicThinking #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #EspressoClub

Many of us underappreciate our strengths because they come naturally to us, and we often think, “Everyone's good at that.” This mindset can prevent us from recognising and utilising our strengths to their fullest potential. Here are three strategies to help you identify your strengths: 1. Assessments: Tools like VIA Character Strengths and CliftonStrengths provide valuable insights that you might not see in yourself! 2. Self-Reflection: Regularly journal about activities that energise and engage you. Connect your everyday activities with how they make you feel, do they engage you or drain you? 3. Peer Feedback: Ask colleagues, friends, and family when they see you at your best. It's a life long journey to understand more about yourself and how you can give your greatest gifts in service to the world around you! Want to learn more?

Have you heard about Job Crafting? Job crafting is all about taking proactive steps to redesign your job to better fit your strengths, passions, and values. It’s a powerful way to reconnect with your job by looking at your role through the lens of your strengths. There are three types of Job Crafting... 1. Task Crafting: Modify your responsibilities to align with your strengths. 2. Relationship Crafting: Build meaningful interactions that leverage your strengths. 3. Cognitive Crafting: Change your mindset to see your job through the greater purpose or impact it has. So how do you start to craft your job? Start small. Think of the tasks/activities this week where you can leverage your strengths. In your current role, what opportunities might you have to work with interesting people, and forge professional relationships that are mutually beneficial. Regularly review and adjust your approach to stay aligned with your strengths. By crafting our jobs, we can create a more engaging and fulfilling work experience. Let’s embrace this journey together!

Question: What percentage of time do you currently use your strengths at work? 50% of the time? Maybe lower? Or if you're lucky, higher than that? On our recent webinar, Unleash Your Strengths, participants shared it was a range between 20% to 80%, with most people sharing it was on the lower end. If you're not using your strengths most of the time, you're missing out on a huge opportunity to leverage your skills and excel. Strengths researcher Dr. Martin Seligman tells us that utilising our strengths daily is key to flourishing in life and work. However, because our strengths often feel easy to us, it's easy to dismiss or undervalue them. We tend not to give them the time and attention needed to grow and master. Let’s make it our mission to increase that percentage! Strengths equal opportunity, and they are the secret to creating significant impact in our work. Interested in learning more?
