Emotional Intelligence, corporate hypnotherapy and teams

Weekends off-grid in a beautiful bushland give me time to disconnect from communications for a while, we get to do this every six weeks ago. 

This area has just been declared a national park and I’m hoping that future visits mean that I can continue to leave devices behind. 

I take along with us a crate of books, not digital ones.  I like the tactile nature of the paper, there is something calming about it.  Some of these books in the pile get returned to the library after a “yeh-nah” perusal, but others get sorted into the priority piles according to the clients whom I am seeing in the upcoming week. 

 As I sit here digging into the huge pile of library books that perpetually gets higher and higher, I pick the book about high performance in teams to assist with understanding more of the journeys of some of my corporate managerial clients. 

 I think about one of my up-coming client treatments.  During a re-structure of the company she works for, she has inherited leadership of a team of people lacking in purpose and morale. 

 There is such a feeling of hopelessness about that, that she has booked a series of treatments with me on the topic of understanding more about having command not only over her team but also the way she sees things whilst at work.

 The book I have picked from the pile that best applies to her case is “The Best Team Wins” by Gostick and Elton.  It’s about what makes corporate teams work with use of “soft-skills” – a form of emotional intelligence utilised in the company structure for high performance companies such as Google.  

 The authors of this book studied more than 850,000 employee engagement surveys to develop their theories about “Five Disciplines of Team Leaders”. 

 The book underscores many of the areas that Shine Therapies focusses on when working with people trying to understand how to achieve and retain some sort of flow in their relationships and personal life, for example:

·     How motivate and create harmony between different generations.

·     Healthy discord and encouragement of innovation in the way things are seen and done.

·     Listening to the inner workings of those around us and their culture.

 These are some of the challenges that real managers are facing now in the age of globalisation where distances need to be breached of different ways of thinking, and physical distance.  If you need hypnotherapy help with corporate work issues contact Natasha here or book here.
