Start Spreading the News

16 Apr

I send you well wishes and prayers today!

Last week, I facilitated a transformational change session for an “Organizational Development Network” in Maryland. I dubbed the session Infectious Culture: Spreading Positive Energy in OrganizationsWhen planning the session, I endeavored to illustrate the benefits of promoting and sustaining a positive work environment. I also wanted to instruct OD and HR practitioners on how to conduct innovative and inspirational activities for organizations.

The session exceeded my expectations. The participants really caught that vibrant infectious spirit. You could feel the energy in the room. As a facilitator, I was delighted to witness the change unfold before my eyes. I guided the participants along the process as they assessed positive energy, organizational culture, and administered positive treatments to organizations. The group produced amazing recommendations.

Exhilarated best describes how I walked out of the session. I’m still floating on cloud nine! I felt compelled to spread more of that infectious energy to you. This week, I will publish a series of blogs inspired from the session. I hope that you will join me and tap into your positive energy. Start spreading the news about this much needed discussion on positive energy in the workplace. Spread the news in your cubicles and offices! Tell a co-worker. Tell your boss. Catch the spirit! It’s infectious!

What’s up with those balloons?

I’ll get back to those…but I have another question for you.

Have you ever noticed how the demands of work, professional responsibilities, and personal obligations create chaos in your life?  It’s not uncommon for us to take on additional tasks, pursue exciting ventures and maintain our personal lives…because we have plans for growth.  And we want to do it all!  Then the chaos erupts when we don’t allocate the appropriate time, consideration and positive energy into tasks and projects.  Those of us who are task-oriented or task-masters feel tremendous amount of pressure to get the job done and do it to the best of our ability.

In every realm of our lives…there are hopes, dreams, desires and possibilities.  So, rather than focus on the stress associated with each task…be it work related…or personal- professional endeavors focus on the inspirational aspects of your goals.

What You Need/Materials

  • an open mind
  • energy
  • creativity
  • assorted balloons
  • markers

Instructions

  • compile a list of stressful tasks
  • frame the tasks as hopes…dreams…desires…and possibilities
  • write the results on the balloons or small sheet of paper and tape it the balloons.
  • design an action plan on how to sustain that hope…achieve your dream and desire…and make possibilities realities

Example

And when you’re ready send them off into the universe!
