Tweddle Group Outward Mindset

Success doesn't come from movement and activity. It comes from focus-from ensuring that your time is used efficiently and productively.

"You get the same number of hours in the day as everyone else. Use yours wisely. After all, you're the product of your output, not your effort. Make certain your efforts are dedicated to tasks that get results."

...choose your attitude and adjust your expectations.

I've always loved this story.

Look at it... Tell people.... Break it up... Set a date!

"The A.I. system had demonstrated overnight improvements roughly equal to the total gains the old one had accrued over its entire lifetime."

We all imagine we're seeing the world accurately, says psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson. But usually, that's not correct. "There's this saying, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,'" she says. "That's perfectly true. What we don't realize is that everything is actually in the eye of the beholder."

People used to believe that you didn't have to be happy at work to succeed. And you didn't need to like the people you work with, or even share their values. "Work is not personal," the thinking went. This is bunk.

"Pay attention to how you create a vision, link people's work to your company's larger purpose, and reward people who resonate with others."

"Disengaged, unhappy people aren't any fun to work with, don't add much value, and impact our organizations (and our economy) in profoundly negative ways." -- So true!!

Despite mounting evidence of the advantages of a mindset-model approach, most leaders persist in behavioral-model strategies. In our experience, they do this first out of habit and second out of ignorance regarding good mindset-change strategies.   Leaders who want to begin focusing on changing the prevailing mindsets in their organizations first need to determine the kind of mindset change they are seeking. Arbinger's work is about moving individuals, teams, and entire organizations from inward-mindset orientations to outward-mindset orientations2.

In data collected following the workshop, 100% of the participants reported that as a result of session, they had experienced a change in the way they viewed others and 100% of the participants reported that they would recommend others to watch the film and attend a post-film discussion.

If you work your self-sufficiency muscle, you'll learn that you can withstand almost anything. Your powers of observation will become almost superhuman. No longer will you feel trapped in a life you hate. And you'll have a new soul mate at the end of the journey-you.

Do you ever find it difficult to listen to others without imposing your own agenda? It seems that most of us struggle to listen to others without trying to change the other person's views to align with our own.

What a great reminder!

"The researchers found that compared to workers in the non-certified buildings, workers in the green-certified buildings had 26 percent higher cognitive function scores, reported 30 percent fewer "sick building" health symptoms, and saw 6.4 percent higher "sleep quality scores" (as measured by wearable sleep monitors). This research follows a bombshell 2015 study by the same group that found elevated indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) has a direct and negative impact on human cognition and decision-making - at CO2 levels that most Americans (and their children) are routinely exposed to today inside classrooms, offices, homes, planes, and cars."

By Courtney Lukitsch, Founder and Principal, Gotham PR Building a great, solid team is at the heart of any business-whether you're on the agency or client-side. While the term "team" is bandied about with tremendous frequency and import, it's that rare firm that takes the time to identify the core values that each team member within the organization-and the team as a whole-possesses.

The basics of meeting preparation (things like inviting the right participants and testing equipment) can feel like second nature for many who are familiar with the routine. But beyond logistics, anxiety can arise for individuals who are less comfortable with what happens off-script during meetings. Concern around asking the right questions, having the right responses and utilizing meeting time productively often distracts from the end goal. But there's a way to cut through meeting anxiety, and it's centered on helpfulness.
