GREAT RESIGNATION, QUIET QUITTING AND CHANGE

We hear a lot about these recently, but why are people quitting? Why leaving jobs that seemed good before? And if not leaving, why does the zest, motivation, seem to be gone?

There is no doubt that the pandemic and the exposition to other ways of living and thinking has stirred up the world we live in.

For better or worse, the world we knew is gone. And we need to work, together, on building a new one.

1 in 3 employees are considering quitting their job (a staggering 33%!!), and according to a study from Flexjobs, these are the top 5 reasons why employees quit: (you can check the study here and the article from Forbes here)

1.????Toxic company culture (62%)

2.????Low salary (59%)

3.????Poor management (56%)

4.????Lack of healthy work-life boundaries (49%)

5.????Not allowing remote work (43%)

Please note that even though salary is the second reason, the other 4 do relate in some shape or form to wellbeing and the new way in which we see this new world.

The underlaying truth on all this is simple: people want a BETTER life, and life is not one dimensional (work OR personal matters), is holistic. It’s a 360.

And better can be many things: ?for some it’ll be working in an office 5 days a week, for others full-time remote, for some it’ll be the flexibility to work non-restricted hours, for others sticking to the 9-5, for some it’ll be being constantly challenged and learning new things, for others it’ll be pushing themselves out of their comfort zone in a steadier way… ?(you get the drill). Whilst this is something you cannot control, creating the right environment and feeling empowered to be your best is.

(And in doing so, we’ll see the employee resignation rate decrease and the work satisfaction and employee engagement increase).

How can you achieve this? Think of this question: “how do you feel empowered?” - You really get to know yourself and tune into your values, you know your strengths, you increase courage to have honest communication.

We are all part of the work culture. Emotional and social contagion is a real thing. Each time a person comes to work as best energised self that affects and inspires the people around them.

This is what we teach on EMPOWERED TO THRIVE and our brand-new course, EMPOWERED TO LEAD, for each person to get to know themselves so they can be the creator of their work and home life and not the victim of circumstances.

As research shows, and the people we have worked with find, often they get same problems in their next job. It is a repeated pattern that continues to show up unless we tend to the root of the matter, unless we understand our own behavioural patterns, our strengths and how to use them to unlock our true potential.

With learnings from Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, transformational embodiment and optimal wellbeing, we have taught this at Netflix, Universal Pictures, award-wining fintech Sonovate and De Monfort University, as well as to hundreds of individuals curious to create a more empowered living. To move from surviving, to thriving.

And the results have been amazing:

As, like many other businesses, NBCUniversal hit the six month mark working remotely we felt that it was really important for the Women’s Network to start supporting one another to not just survive but Thrive in our personal and professional lives. With this in mind we booked Lucia and Fleur to host an event for us centred on this.

Lucia and Fleur curated an interactive workshop for us called ‘Empowered to Thrive’ which provided techniques and tools that helped us re-connect with our minds, body and heart. The feedback from our employees was unanimous; we all came away feeling like we were no longer just surviving, but thriving.

If you are looking for support in re-focusing for the future then I could not recommend booking Lucia and Fleur highly enough.

?I have just completed this course “Empowered to Thrive” run by a couple of lovely ladies - both experienced coaches. Its brilliant and ticked every box for me! It’s motivational, inspiring, enlightening and so much more and was very much needed to get through these strange times we are surviving through. The course is running again this month and I cannot recommend it enough, you will not be disappointed

?I had such a good experience with Lucia and Fleur during the Empowered to Thrive workshop. Each week was inspiring and impactful with meaningful assignments that really helped me put personal and professional goals in perspective. Each of the sessions was challenging but comfortable because of the coaching styles of both Lucia and Fleur, who strike such a good balance between the theory and practice involved in maximizing your potential at work and in life. Going through the course with a talented group of people from all over the world was truly incredible. Lucia is a gifted coach who enjoys helping others find their greatness, The individual coaching sessions with Lucia were extremely helpful to me during an important career transistion. I highly recommend the Empowered to Thrive workshop for anyone looking to take charge of their personal and professional life.

And, as we mentioned above, we are also thrilled to announce the launch of our BRAND NEW COURSE: EMPOWERED TO LEAD, designed to teach the principles of empowered leadership.

During the course of 7-weeks we will help you understand how to work with your body and mind to lead in all areas of your life (be it home life or work) with confidence, empathy and trust.

Integrating learnings from neuroscience, positive psychology and transformational embodiment to improve our ability to lead ourselves.

Empowered to lead helps us to be the leader of our own lives. The relationship with our self is the key to being able to be our best self. This helps us to not only lead our own life but be the leaders for other in our lives.

Great leaders are the source of inspiration and motivation to others, as research shows, successful leaders can connect and empathise whilst they take the lead they don’t control and manipulate. Great leaders walk the talk: they value and understand people and build good relationships based on mutual respect. This helps people at work and home creating a thriving environment (not one where every person survives only thinking of their own needs), becoming stronger using our ability to work together (this was in fact the determining factor for human species to survive and thrive!, the capability to work together), using each other strengths, creating in turn a synced culture, relying on shared values and common goals. Principles of healthy, innovative, connected teams and thriving businesses.

Doors to enrol are now open, we kick off in October. To learn more about the program and see if you are a fit, please reach out to [email protected]

Happy thriving!
