People on a team share many resources and that can be a challenge to get the balance right for the individuals on the team. When there is significant change, that promises to upset the balance which can bring fears and insecurities to the table. Fortunately, you know that those fears and insecurities are a matter of care and need, and everyone has them. Practice nonjudgmentalism and set up a safe container for dialogue so that everyone's concerns are heard and validated. Set up group guidelines for how you will be with one another and get input from everyone on what to include. Common ground and bonding can happen in these spaces.

Nos meus atendimentos como psicóloga, muitas vezes trabalho com equipes que enfrentam mudanças importantes. A inteligência emocional é essencial para construir confiança nessas situações. Isso significa estar presente, reconhecer os sentimentos de cada um e criar um espaço para diálogo aberto. Com empatia e escuta ativa, é possível fortalecer os laços e guiar a equipe por esses desafios com mais segurança e conexão.
