GROWTH

Getting Unstuck & Moving Toward Fulfillment

 

Takeaways:

  • The Map of Consciousness developed by David R. Hawkins explains the different levels of consciousness and the corresponding emotional states that we experience at each level.
  • To move from the bottom (shame) to the top (enlightenment), one must acknowledge where they are at and bring full acceptance to them. All emotions are valid and need to be felt and expressed.
  • Once you identify where you are on the scale, you can create a pathway to finding relief, curiosity, and passion one step at a time.

3 Actionable Tools For Unconscious Bias Training

 

Takeaways:

  • Set SMART goals that are actually attainable: What does success look like for your company when it comes to DEI? What are the goals you’re trying to reach?
  • Training is essential. It’s the biggest point of opportunity for companies. Training should be year-round, and part of continuous development just like any other part of the business.
  • It’s not enough to have diversity in the company, if it’s not reflected in the leadership. Mentorship is necessary in order to have representation going up the career ladder.

Weekend Rules To Help Recharge

 

Takeaways:

  • Give yourself permission to back out of plans if it’s not good for your mental health. Keep an open schedule so you don’t feel pressured to do something every minute of the day.
  • Turning off the alarm clock so your body can wake up when it wants, and also allow yourself to binge watch any entertainment without feeling bad.
  • Take a 30 minute walk instead of an intense workout to give your body a rest, and drink plenty of water to hydrate.
