MINS 10

Activity and delivery instructions Exploring your bad habits and strategies Ask: How can we find out if we have any bad habits that we don’t know we have? Look for (not exhaustive): • Ask for feedback • Be more reflective of our impact, ask ourselves - ‘why did that happen?’ especially when things have not gone so well Add: when asking for feedback you might want to start small and ask someone at work that you have a good relationship with and trust to tell you the truth until you get comfortable with asking for feedback and not just from those we know will give positive feedback. Ask for constructive feedback too. It can be hard to ask for feedback because we might not want to hear what they have to say. State: Thinking back to our last session, back to me and my confession of a bad habit/behaviour Facilitator note: you may have shared your own bad habit to substitute the example that was given – use whichever example you shared before. I can, and I do, keep myself in check, I intentionally think about how I come across in conversations and the impact I’m having. I have developed a way of taking quick notes that stops me from forgetting a point I want to make, I put my pen in front of my lips so that there is movement of the pen before I speak, I try to ask others their thoughts first where fitting to the conversation. Actions and personal strategies can be taken to change behaviours to have a more positive impact – ‘Just the way I am’ is not an excuse I can use.
