Mindful: Why does everything seem so chaotic?

We live in a world full of change, of systems collapsing; political crises are always present right in our living room through our mobile devices. It feels like around us everything is drowning in chaos, not only on a global level. So every error and inconvenience in our work environment is perceived heavier, as it is adding to the overall global chaos we live in.

Adding to that, technology is evolving rapidly, leading to not only high-speed internet but also high-speed change, bringing the saying "change is the only constant" to another level. With these external factors, how do you create the much-needed psychological safety in a world that feels so unstable? (If you don't know the radical effects of psychological safety, highly recommend booking a workshop around team mindset.) How do you bring calm into a workplace full of hectic distractions and devastating news pop-ups every second? Any idea? The answer is quite logical: by showcasing constant and predictable behaviour. Do what you promised; reward actions, consequently, on the same level, and be a calm anchor for your team.
Being an anchor means predictable gratitude for your team. Sounds easy, but your challenge is to showcase that on a day you feel drained and on a day you feel over the moon. Predictability embodies certainty, and certainty calms your team's nervous system, making it easier to focus and have logical thought processes.

So be ready to be (almost) the anchor for your team during stormy times.
