Having to adapt to frequent change means that motivation is lower than it might be at the start of a new year. Research shows that psychological safety is one of the most important qualities for a successful team, and boosting morale can give people the comfort they need to thrive. Active listening, celebrating small wins and offering positive feedback for a job well done all help give a sense of achievement, psychologists say. More positive interactions than negative will likely help everyone’s mood – and helping others can also boost our own well-being.

Thanks for the tag Harriet Green. As a positive change leader who uses appreciative and strength-based approaches I’m an advocate for positive psychology. Having said that positivity and activities rooted in it may be exclusionary for some folk. ??Deeply embracing diversity and inclusion?? for me means we need to look after those who are introverts, people feeling anxiety about the future, others who may be going through a difficult time at home, hitting a motivation wall, resorting to addiction, feeling depressed and otherwise may have difficulty feeling positive or even thinking in terms of wins. Surviving may be all they can manage and that can be difficult. Conclusion: mental health supports have never been more important. Meilleurs v?ux from Paris!
