Colleen is passionate about people and believes, absolutely, that each employee has a uniqueness, which is precious and valuable.<\/p>\n
Her keynote address allowed team members to acknowledge physical, mental, emotional and behavioural messages sent by the body when stress becomes distress. People in distress are not able to live or work optimally.<\/p>
According to Colleen, in the workplace, the need to feel wanted and appreciated is ingrained in our behaviour. Experiencing a lack of acknowledgement, eventually results in employees feeling disconnected. In the long run, unmet emotional needs lead to\u00a0turnover, absenteeism, inefficient communication, loss of creativity, and insufficient problem solving.<\/p>\n
Colleen encouraged individuals to evaluate their health, career, family\/friends, personal growth, fun\/recreation, etc. and to evaluate whether some parts were emptier than they should be.<\/p>
\u201cWe cannot change things unless we are aware of them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She also recommended four ways to put the oxygen mask on ourselves:<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of us have buried our genius under years of negativity, denial, or even rejection. Many of us lack the basic skills to even recognise what inspires, enlivens or energises us. It is possible to enable your employees to fully realise the greatness that is already within them,\u201d said Colleen.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can definitely count on Colleen to find and utilise your greatness\u201d; \u201cColleen\u2019s talk inspired me to take responsibility for my own self-worth and happiness\u201d; \u201cThis is what I needed to hear\u201d, were just some of the comments made by enthusiastic and driven Caxton team members after the motivational talk.<\/p>\n
