Four Behaviors of an Antifragility Growth Mindset
Patricia will work with your leadership team and employees to learn, track, and consistently apply four key behaviors that support Antifragility:
Pause
Take a beat. Rather than reacting to irritation or being upset in the moment, simply pause and breathe, which gives you time to respond intentionally.
Daily Bold Action
Take a daily bold action in the direction of your essential goal.
Difficult Conversation Opportunity
Take the opportunity to have difficult conversations you are avoiding.
Invite Feedback
Seek and welcome criticism for learning and greater success.
Through developing this new approach to workplace stresses, your entire team will learn how to face their fears with courage rather than avoidance and resentment. Mastering this process often has an astonishing effect on motivation, productivity, and overall company morale!
