Culture is all about what people do around your workplace.
Climate is how people feel – it’s the vibe emitted by this workplace behaviour.
Having a culture of fitting in, seems quite normal.
Yet, what’s more attractive, is being accepted for being you.
Is attracting people to work with you important?
This struck me the most when listing to the dulcet tones of American research professor Brené Brown as she unlocked and unpacked what real CONNECTION is about.
In her new book, Atlas of the Heart, many emotions and experiences are dissected and mapped to provide meaningful connection and the language of human experience.
It’s explicit and is needed now more than ever.
We will be better leaders of better workplaces when we are more accurate with our words to describe how we feel enabling more meaningful conversations with others.
This book journey travels past 87 signposted emotions and experiences (thoughts that lead you to an emotion) to help understand the families and subsets of emotions that unite us; as humans, we‘re all on this journey.
As I trekked through these many emotions, I was able to pinpoint specific life moments that I hadn’t been able to explain how I felt. My experience of anger wasn’t connected to fear, jealousy, depression, or loneliness, it was shame.
Learning more about emotions has shifted my mindset and my mapped emotions have helped increase my emotional intelligence. Together with the Moodmeter by Marc Bracket and the Emotional Culture Deck by Jeremy Dean, I feel confident to help you become a more connected leader.
Cultivating meaningful connection is about the energy that exists between us when we are heard and valued without judgment.
As the airwaves are filled with #breakthebias during our International Women’s Day celebrations, this is indeed a practice to support you in your endeavors in a less judgemental workplace.
Become a leader that is easy to follow by reading Atlas of the Heart.
Build a culture and a climate that encourages people to be themselves rather than just fitting in.
