Permission - Presence - Purpose - Personal Responsibility - Thrive

A wonderful change has occurred following the great disruption of 2020.

More and more companies and leaders recognize the importance of seeing employees as fully human and the fact that people bring all of themselves to work everyday whether that be virtually or in-person.

While it can be liberating for employers to be more accepting – finally I don’t have to pretend everything outside work walls is “a-ok” – it also begs the question, how do you show up at work when life is throwing your curveballs in your personal life?

Permission to acknowledge that there’s something not working is an important first step because having to pretend all is well actually drains emotional energy quickly and decreases effectiveness and efficiency. When you can authentically acknowledge difficulties you free up emotional energy and can direct that to what’s in front of you…being present with work.

Next practicing alignment of your Human Internal Operating System (H-IOS) components supports you in showing up fully human without derailing your purpose at work.

While employers are open to their employees bringing their whole selves to work it is imperative that employees take personal responsibility for how they show up in that freedom.

Becoming familiar with and managing your H-IOS allows you to do that.

When I was at my corporate job my daughter was diagnosed with a serious chronic illness. I was on high alert not knowing when I’d get a call from school to pick her up or if a last minute doctor’s appointment would disrupt my day. Until I was transparent with my supervisor all of my productive energy was

consumed trying to “keep it all together.” Sharing my needs alleviated some of the pressure during the crisis AND man, oh man, do I wish I would have had Thrive’s H-IOS to help me manage my inner swirl even more. I am so grateful for the resource now!

Curious about how to calm the inner swirl? Let’s talk H-IOS at work!
