A leader shares how to build creative teams through mindfulness and positive framing instead of pressure. Start meetings with breathing exercises and focus on daily wins to prime your brain for creativity.
There are two things I want to start the meeting with. Two things. The first one, mindful minute. Just give people six breaths. Literally give them six breaths to arrive where they are so that at least they shut off the old meeting and their present. And by the way, that six breaths is allowing them to activate their parasympathetic from the sympathetic, which we most run on. But then the second is start with this. What's. When we start our meetings at Happiness Squad with what's the win for the day? We always start with what's your win? And now let's talk about what we need to do. But fundamentally, you're priming the brain away from negativity and anywhere other than present, past, future, you're bringing it to the present and you're priming it for positivity. And from that, positive, above the line creative state versus a fear state. Now, I can look at the problems, but I am not having the fear response. I have a response of abundance and I can start to see patterns. I can do it with less emotional reactivity.
