Layers in my behaviours and my motivators
How my intentions show up as behaviour — a self-discovery exercise
Dissecting my work style and/or breathing as a human, I attempt to understand myself a little better.
To understand myself > understand others better > useful for caring for others > have fun together
Looks like a good win for me, let’s go.
Right on the surface
At work, as I take decisions with teams,
- I help by solving problems mindfully
Then I show & practise these behaviours
- I ask a bunch of questions: go curious, go critical and go deep
- I listen👂🏽
- I rally to use experiments 🧪 Hard decisions are hard, let’s learn together
- I convert experiences into lessons learned
Invisible layers
This layer is tricky, sometimes I am unaware of all of them but I am going to give it a shot here. These are the beacons for why I do what I do:
- Choose to be Kind 🌻 make requests, not demands
- Diminishing or Enlarging myself/others: Figure what is the job-to-be-done here when making decisions
- Show up with Empathy: listen + learn from the disagreeing parties > take decisions
- 🙋🏽♀️ Giving & Taking: weighing the wins and the consequences
At the core
Going deeper, embedding these intentions
- 💪🏾 I give value to feel useful
- 👭 I value relationships to feel connected to others
- 🙌🏼 I value teamwork to feel I belong
I definitely have no data to back this up (still), it’s a playful way to put concepts into words for now 🌈
How can this be helpful to others? To try this mental gym out on your own / with friends, for fun and to build something bigger together.
How else can I move deeper into self-discovery? I would love to start a conversation with you 🦋
