Is your organization resilient, or just lucky? True resilience means you don’t just survive challenges. You thrive in them, by turning adversity into opportunity. Leaders who drive resilience have teams that emerge from turbulent times with more growth, innovation, and agility. Our blog explores what these leaders do well: 🔹Invest in their people: They provide ongoing training and development to ensure their teams have the skills needed to adapt. 🔹Provide clear direction: They set crystal clear vision and communicate it effectively, so everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals. 🔹Foster a culture of collaboration: They break down silos and encourage as well as reinforce agile teamwork. We also cover what these leaders refuse to do: 🔹Cling to the status quo: Instead, they welcome change with open arms by advancing and creating momentum around it – every step of the way (even when it’s hard). 🔹Micromanage: Instead, they trust their teams to make decisions and take initiative. 🔹Ignore challenges. Instead, they address issues head-on, model accountability, and learn from mistakes. Resilience is a competitive edge for any business, but it’s also a crucial asset for a workforce that’s adaptable, healthy, and productive. Use the quick scorecard on our blog to measure your organization’s growing resilience: https://hubs.la/Q02V7G680 #Resilience #OrganizationalResilience #UpliftPerformance #UpliftPeople #BusinessAgility #Leadership #AgileLeaders #AgileTeams #ContinuousImprovement

AI Adoption: Bridging the Gap Between Technology and Human Behavior Insights from Brian Crowley-Koch, Ph.D., on overcoming AI implementation challenges in the workplace. In his latest article, Dr. Crowley-Koch explores why 80-85% of AI projects fail to meet objectives, emphasizing that successful adoption requires more than just implementing new technology. Recent industry research highlighted in the article reveals:  🔹42% of organizations are already using AI in daily business  🔹Only 34% provide resources to help employees use new AI tools  🔹20% lack employees with the right skills for AI adoption Based on these findings and his expertise, Dr. Crowley-Koch recommends leaders focus on three critical areas: 1. Behavioral Change:   🔹Develop processes to support new behaviors and mindsets  🔹Identify and address resistance early  🔹Provide ongoing support for evolving AI capabilities 2. Individual Engagement:   🔹Profile employee skills and learning styles  🔹Create compelling adoption narratives with clear benefits  🔹Celebrate early adopters and support those who struggle 3. Leadership Responsibilities:   🔹Align expectations and observe performance  🔹Remove barriers to adoption  🔹Establish coaching relationships  🔹Leverage peer support through Change Agent Networks "Successful AI adoption is a three-dimensional challenge involving leaders, individuals, and organizational priorities," states Dr. Crowley-Koch. "By focusing on these areas, we can unlock the full potential of AI in our organizations."

Train Your Brain with the Power of Prompts! 🧠 Did you know that your brain follows the same "use it or lose it" principle as your physical fitness? This National Train Your Brain Day (Oct 13th), discover how prompts can help you unlock your mental potential! Here's how prompts work: Your brain is constantly processing information, looking for cues about what to do next. By intentionally setting up prompts, you're programming new waypoints into your mental GPS. 4 Simple Ways to Create Your Prompt Ecosystem: 1️⃣ Start small: Choose 1-2 prompts and gradually increase. 2️⃣ Connect prompts to daily routines: Use everyday objects or activities as cues. 3️⃣ Be consistent: The brain loves patterns. 4️⃣ Stay positive: Frame prompts in terms of what to do, not what to avoid. Try these 3 Fun Brain-Training Exercises: 🧠Morning Mental Marathon: Leave a book/puzzle out to prompt 10 minutes of mental exercise. 🧠Cognitive Cross-Training Challenge: Place sticky notes with brain teasers around your home. 🧠Neural Noticing Game: Set random alarms to prompt you to question assumptions. The Result? ✅Enhanced problem-solving skills ✅Improved memory and recall ✅Greater cognitive flexibility ✅More sustainable positive habits Takeaway: Every prompt you set is like a rep at the mental gym. The more you practice, the stronger your mental muscles become! Our blog includes a guide on the science behind prompts: https://hubs.la/Q02SSWWz0 #NationalTrainYourBrainDay #CognitiveFitness #PowerOfPrompts #UpliftPerformance #UpliftPeople

This World Mental Health Day asks us to “Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace.” But let’s be clear: Mental health isn’t just an individual challenge—it's a collective one. Many leaders already foster communities where teams can: 🔹Combat stigma together 🔹Champion collective wellness 🔹Have honest dialogues about workplace stress Yet in a system that often pushes our limits, burnout remains a reality. Our blog considers how to support your team and yourself: 🔹Set realist team expectations and priorities 🔹Establish team-specific boundaries around availability 🔹Normalize breaks and recovery time as a group 🔹Encourage open discussions about workplace pressures When possible, individual contributions to collective well-being can go a long way: 🔹Recognize your capacity affects the whole team 🔹Share your experiences to destigmatize struggles 🔹Support colleagues in maintaining their boundaries Remember: Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it enables you to be a better advocate for change and to nurture the very best in your team.
