Imposter Syndrome: The Impact of Your Inner Voice

Post author By mgauthier
Post date November 9, 2022

Sometimes we use our inner voice to guide us to make better decisions, sometimes intuition can be more valuable than facts. When it comes to something like impostor syndrome, you’re usually stuck dealing with a vicious cycle of anxiety, things turning out okay, and attributing that success to something other than your ability.

When you deal with constant bouts of anxiety and fear like this, it’s not uncommon for you to advance into depression. The reason why it’s so hard to get out of this cycle is that the more you accomplish, the stronger the “impostor” feeling becomes.

It might be hard for you to pinpoint exactly where impostor syndrome affects your current life, so here are some examples:

You’ve moved into a leadership role and feel uncomfortable when referred to by your newer title as if you didn’t earn it.
You might have a hard time promoting yourself or your business because you feel like those who do have more experience than you.
You often find yourself in a state of indecision because of your lack of confidence in your role.

While these feelings are difficult to navigate and hard to talk about, you don’t have to do it alone.

Registration is now open for the next 6-week Positive Intelligence® Mental Fitness Foundation program starting November 12, 2022. The program is based on Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence® work.

You will learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm, clarity, objectivity and creativity to handle life’s challenges more effectively.

Discover what’s holding you back: Identifying Imposter Syndrome in Female Leaders

Post author By mgauthier
Post date November 8, 2022

According to a recent study, a whopping 90% of female employees struggle with impostor syndrome. What’s even more shocking? This happens to people regardless of their level of expertise, it’s a psychological pattern that often isn’t noticed until the symptoms start to become overwhelming. In fact, only about 25% of those surveyed are aware of their symptoms.

Females in leadership positions deal with enough pressure, so recognizing impostor syndrome can help you stay on track and focus on business goals. Impostor syndrome presents itself in different ways, some of the symptoms include:

Believing your success is based on luck.
You might think people will “discover” that you are somehow unqualified for your position, even though you are.
Self-doubt and thinking that you don’t deserve the praise you receive.
Constant fear that you are going to disappoint people.
Setting far-fetched goals and being hard on yourself when you (realistically) fall short.

The only way to grow as a leader is to face your mental challenges head-on, but it isn’t easy to do it alone.

Registration is now open for the next 6-week Positive Intelligence® Mental Fitness Foundation program starting January 21, 2023. The program is based on Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence® work.

The Impact of Poor Employee Performance on a Team

Post author By mgauthier
Post date October 27, 2022

Whenever you’re thinking about employee engagement, you want to think about individual workers as well as teams. It’s very easy for negative energy to travel throughout the workplace, so understanding how the performance of one employee can affect others is crucial for your engagement strategy.

Three ways poor performance can affect your whole team:

Decrease in productivity: An employee’s attitude will reflect in their productivity and make it harder on the rest of your team. As a result, you might find other workers becoming discouraged.

Poorer quality of work: Newer employees can end up taking on the poor work ethic of others if that’s what they’re exposed to and see it as acceptable.

Lower company morale: Teams function better when everyone is motivated and working towards the same goal.

The elements above can easily have a snowball effect in your workplace. It’s important that you start to intervene as soon as you notice the effects start to take place.

Question for leaders

How do you handle poor performance in the workplace?

Resilience and Employee Engagement

Post author By mgauthier
Post date October 11, 2022

There is a very strong link between employee engagement and resilience. The more resilient an employee is, the less likely they are to become disengaged, whether something happens that is expected or not.

If you want to help build that resilience within your own team, consider some of the following:

– Maintain a clear sense of purpose: make sure employees know what their role is and why it’s important.

– Communication is key: Lack of communication accounts for a large portion of workplace mistakes. Make sure everyone is on the same page.

– Establish an internal support system: Create measures for handling sensitive issues and employee concerns.

– Set clear goals and expectations: Like communication, having a clear set of expectations helps everyone stay on track and working towards the same thing.

– Provide necessary resources: you can’t expect your team to be engaged unless they have everything they need to do their work.

– Positive reinforcement: don’t just come in when things need to be fixed, make sure to acknowledge people who are doing things right on a regular basis.

Registration is now open for our next Great Engagement: Engage and Mobilize Employees Training Program—starting October 12, 2022!

The Engage and Mobilize Program focuses on simple but powerful behaviours that will have maximum impact on your leaders’ ability to engage his or her employees.

Encouraging Employees to Participate in Well-Being Initiatives

Post author By mgauthier
Post date October 5, 2022

You might be hesitant to put too much effort into employee well-being initiatives if you can’t guarantee your staff will be receptive. However, if you don’t bother to do anything, you risk losing valuable employees that were willing and ready to invest in your organization.

It’s always better to be able to say you tried something than to have never tried at all, so implementing wellbeing initiatives in the workplace should be a priority, even if on a trial basis. You never know what effect you might have on the entire staff.

When you’re ready to introduce new wellbeing initiatives in the office, you need to:

· Increase understanding of common well-being needs and offerings

· Reduce apathy and stigma surrounding mental health and wellbeing initiatives

· Make it as easy as possible to participate

Start your efforts with small steps and stick with whatever gets the best reaction, you might end up giving a lot of people the small push they needed.

Overlooked Essentials of Employee Well-Being

Post author By mgauthier
Post date October 4, 2022

When it comes to employee well-being, management is often focused on what needs to be added to the workplace, rather than evaluating existing conditions. Before you can even think about what you might want to add to your work environment, you need to think about how you might be able to improve the current conditions.

Two huge areas that are often overlooked when it comes to engaging with your employees and supporting their wellbeing are social support and job control.

Social Support

A major component of any healthy workplace is ample social support. It’s no secret that positive social relationships are good for our health and having a support system at work is extremely helpful when dealing with workplace challenges and any job-related stress.

Job Control

It’s hard to imagine doing something all day long and having no discretion as to how the job gets done. Employees that have no job control are much more likely to experience feelings of resentment towards their work. If you allow your employees to go about their tasks however it suits them best, as long as you get the results you want in the end, you productivity is likely to increase. When people are in control of their work, there’s a greater sense of pride, and more room for engagement.

Remove Your Hand From The Hot Stove

Post author By mgauthier
Post date September 29, 2022

As you know, your ability to feel pain is very helpful. If you touch a hot stove it’s good to feel pain so you’re alerted to the danger to your body and quickly remove your hand.

Similarly, negative emotions like stress, fear, anger, disappointment, guilt and shame are extremely helpful to alert you that something needs your attention. But once you have benefited from the alert, it’s harmful for you to stay in those negative emotions.

Staying stressed, afraid, disappointed, guilty, or ashamed makes it harder for you to think clearly or take the most effective action to deal with the problem.

Your sage (positive) mind is much more capable of being creative and insightful or taking calm, clear-headed, decisive action to deal with the challenge that lead to those negative emotions.

So, if you find yourself staying in the negative emotions for more than a second, your saboteurs are keeping your hand on the hot stove and complaining why life is so hard.

A strong work ethic should always be celebrated, but when do leaders draw a line to prevent staff from experiencing burnout? Since the answer likely looks different for everyone, the most important things are the availability of resources and communication.

· Try to be flexible if you can when it comes to employees’ working styles.
