Courageous Compassion: Kathie's Blueprint for Happy Teams
Introduction
Welcome aboard! I'm thrilled to share insights from my recent experiences as a corporate wellness advocate. Together, let's dive deep into fostering workplace cultures that are both productive and fulfilling.
Today we discuss things like Reality Transurfing drama, Amy Porterfield’s poor influence, and how I turned into an advocate for all of the above.
Advocating Against Bullying and Mistreatment
Growing up, I faced adversity, which fueled my passion for advocating against workplace bullying. It's personal for me, and I believe strong leadership is crucial in creating environments where everyone feels valued.
Leadership is not all about telling others what to do. No it is also about leading with empathy and compassion. It is also about kindness and a firm hand to help others grow and develop. Link to our March calendar for kindness in the workplace here.
Leadership and Organizational Values
Effective leadership shapes organizational culture. Lip service to values without embodying them erodes trust. I'm committed to championing leaders who prioritize integrity, respect, and trust in their interactions.
Fostering Intrinsic Motivation
I reject the "carrot-and-stick" approach to motivation. True motivation stems from within, from a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Let's foster intrinsic motivation for lasting engagement and satisfaction.
I talk about extrinsic motivation and why is not as effective as intrinsic motivation in today’s video and podcast episode.
Strategies for Healthy and Happy Teams
Taking action is key. Implementing wellness initiatives, promoting open communication, and advocating for better hiring practices are vital steps. Together, we can create workplaces where everyone thrives.
Your Role in the Journey
I can't do it alone. Whether you're a leader or an employee, you're a crucial part of this journey. Let's work together to create environments where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered.
Conclusion: Shaping a Brighter Future
Building healthy and happy teams isn't just a goal; it's my life's work. Together, let's create workplaces where we can grow, thrive, and make a real difference. Until next time, stay healthy, stay happy, and keep shining bright.
