Big Ideas to kick-start 2019
Looking to starting the year with clarity and focus, we asked our SMG coaches and mentors for their top tips on how to get a kick-start on 2019.
Here they share their big ideas, ready for the year ahead.
1. Personal Impact – be aware of “ how you show up” sends 80% of the message to others
2. Stakeholder Engagement- map out your key relationships internally and externally and nurture them
3. Step onto the balcony…. Stop and observe yourself in the scenario and take yourself out of the situation
4. Stress & Overwork- self regulate, apply digital detox principles. Structure in your personal life so it doesn’t get eroded
5. Curiosity– suspend judgement, process your reactions and wonder about the questions you need to ask
6. Agile Perspective– form your view, take in others, check your thinking, adapt and respond and say what you think then make a decision
7. Presence and being Present– being more, doing less
8. Listen and ask Questions – learn the art of dialogue
As well as using the year-end break to relax and rejuvenate, it is important to use the time to identify what will help your business succeed in 2019. Adapt these key drivers to all business decisions you make and ensure that you continually align with your business strategy.
