📣 Do you sometimes need this reminder, too? When having delivered an enthusiastic pep talk, shared good news or invited your team to engage in teamwork, you may or may not notice them: Among the majority reacting with applause, praise and loud engagement, the ones reacting by expressing nothing. ❓ Why care? Because ❗ High enthusiasm and deep commitment don't always take up much "space". Neither does everything that sounds loud and looks good cut deep. Silence doesn't necessarily mean that you have not succeeded in engaging someone. They may be deeply enthusiastic. Quiet. A reminder of how important it is to know and "read" your team members the right way. ✅ Here is my advice on what to do: 1️⃣ Stay calm. Don't react with frustration, stress or anger. It's not about you, it's about them. 2️⃣ Choose curiosity. No judgement. 3️⃣ Approach them individually. 4️⃣ Give them time. 5️⃣ Be flexible. Because: 🌟 The contribution and engagement from the quiets may be astonishing.

So I was very excited to use Microsoft Designer in LinkedIn to generate a masthead design for a post I was going to write. Typed in the word 'autism'. A very short prompt admittedly, more out of curiosity. I got the reply in the image I've attached. Ah, I thought, let me try again. Same result. Then I tried 'autistic' and got a slightly different message - It's us. Not you. Something's wrong on our end. Try again later. So I tried again. Same result. I tried 'neurodiversity', and got the same - It's us. Not you... Then I tried 'neurodivergent'. Result. This time I got some designs with the following wording - Celebrating neurodiversity. Embracing differences. Hurrah, it's all positive, feeling warm, let's celebrate, because we should celebrate neurodiversity, we're all allies, right?! Positive spin on the world. I'm still wondering how the word 'autism' violates the Designer code of conduct. I'm not going to change my phrasing and try again. But I might try again to see if you change your designer... PS. I did try 'ADHD' and got a variety of designs with the wording - Focus on the positive. Overcoming ADHD. ......because ADHD needs to be overcome! [That bit was me by the way. Sarcasm. Wry smile.]

“Let me be the ‘bad guy’ so you don’t have to.” 💼✨ I say this a lot to my clients. When difficult conversations come up—setting boundaries, addressing conflicts, or tackling sensitive issues—sometimes it’s helpful to have a buffer. In one scenario, I coach clients to navigate these situations themselves by creating a bit of distance. They might say, “My consultant, Lynn, was asking me about…” to open the conversation with a softer approach. Other times, I’ll step in directly to have that tough conversation on their behalf. This allows my clients to stay grounded in their leadership role and keep relationships intact, without watering down the message. It’s a fine balance: letting me handle the heavy lifting while you remain the leader. With years of experience, I know how to support your authority without taking over. When you work with me, we tackle the tough stuff together—while you stay firmly in the driver’s seat. Ready to stop shying away from those difficult convos?!? turn those tough talks into growth opportunities and keep you looking like the boss you are. 💥Time to lighten your load? Slide into my DMs! #LeadershipSupport #ToughConversations #ConflictResolution #BusinessConsulting #FractionalCOO #TeamManagement #ToughDecisions #LynnHoward

The A word, yup, I said it. It’s overused, bastardized, and in my humble opinion, not honored the way it should be! To me, Authenticity means: 💋Owning Your Truth: No apologies, no excuses—just you, raw and real. 💋Consistency: Being the same person in every room you walk into. 💋Transparency: Sharing the highs and lows, not just the highlight reel. 💋Integrity: Keeping your word and standing by your values, no matter what. 💋Vulnerability: Putting down the masks, getting off that pedestal, and being truly seen and heard for WHO you are—the good, bad, and indifferent. What does this word mean to you? Drop your thoughts in the comments. Let’s keep it real. #Authenticity #PersonalBrand #EntrepreneurLife #NoBS #RealTalk #LynnHoward

The Importance of Financial Wellness in Boosting Workplace Productivity (Here’s why) ⤵ Financial stress doesn’t just stay at home—it follows employees into the workplace. Missed deadlines, lack of focus, and low morale often have one root cause: money worries. But here’s the good news: prioritizing financial wellness changes everything. Here’s how it works: Step 1: Reduce stress (provide tools like budgeting workshops and debt management programs). Step 2: Increase focus (employees with financial clarity perform better). Step 3: Boost morale (financial stability empowers teams to thrive). Step 4: Drive company growth (a financially secure workforce is a productive workforce). Investing in financial wellness isn’t just about money it’s about creating a healthier, happier, and more engaged workplace. What’s one step your organization can take today to prioritize financial wellness?  (Repost this ♻) P.S. Do you believe financial wellness can help employee productivity?

What if we made safety, health and wellbeing all about INTEGRITY rather than actually taking better care of yourself….? That was my safety EPIPHANY moment mid way through my first career when I was reprimanded by an especially influential leader at an especially challenging time. If we’re true to ourselves, I guess most of us have found ourselves taking unnecessary risks occasionally, which has placed either ourselves and perhaps even put others in danger. Why would people do that? Do they not care about themselves - What could possibly be more important than that? That’s a question I often hear from leaders and managers, and of course there are many reasons for that according to context and environment. However, it seems that calling people’s personal INTEGRITY into question really does seem to be more important than that! “How can I TRUST you to take care of your team if you don’t even take care of yourself” That was the phrase that eventually got me to think, feel and then act differently! What if we made safety critical behaviours like LOTO and securing ourselves whilst working at height more about personal integrity rather than safety? “How can we possibly TRUST you to maintain or repair our equipment when you don’t appear to care for yourself?” The next time you see a colleague walking down a stairway holding their open laptop in one hand and a hot cup of coffee in the other. See their reaction if you suggest the email they’re reading or spreadsheet they’re checking could be FRAUDULENT and that they might be complicit. My guess is that they will take that observation very seriously and make sure to take any action to convince you otherwise. People seem to value their integrity and personal reputation even more than they do their safety and health. Read more about how my attitude, values and beliefs were changed for safety in this way here below….. https://lnkd.in/e8pXHG-P

Embracing sustainability🌱:Our commitment to the future 🌍 I am thrilled to share some exciting developments from Rothoblaas, a company deeply committed to sustainability and innovation in the construction industry. Wooden construction, as many of you know, stands as a beacon of sustainability in the world of construction. But the path to sustainability is not just about choosing wood; it's about making informed choices throughout the entire product lifecycle. That's why Rothoblaas has embarked on a journey to enhance our environmental impact assessment. We proudly introduce the EPD - Environmental Product Declaration, a powerful tool that enables us to assess and communicate the environmental impact of our products comprehensively. This declaration, rooted in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, delves into every aspect of our product's life, from production and use to disposal. While it's not legally mandated, we believe in its importance. We want to not only understand but also share with designers the environmental footprint of the buildings they envision. We aim to empower them with knowledge, giving them the means to create more sustainable structures, focusing not only on technical but also environmental aspects. In addition, we're thrilled to announce that our products are now integrated into the widely-used WUFI software, a vital tool for thermal-hygrometric assessments. This integration allows architects and builders to access our products seamlessly, facilitating smarter decisions and more sustainable building practices. Our journey doesn't stop here. With these innovations, we reaffirm our commitment to the global construction community. We are here, supporting those who build in cold climates and hot alike. As we look ahead, we are dedicated to developing solutions that simplify the lives of designers and builders around the world. Wherever wood is used, you'll find Rothoblaas. We believe in a sustainable future, and we are determined to contribute to it through our actions, innovations, and partnerships. Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we can build a greener, more sustainable world.

Kerala's journey to the top is a fascinating blend of historical, geographical, and socio-cultural factors. Let's explore some key reasons why Kerala is often considered a frontrunner in many aspects of development in India. Historical and Geographical Advantages Early Exposure to Trade: Kerala's coastal location made it a crucial hub for trade with the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. This early exposure to diverse cultures and economies laid a foundation for progress. Spice Trade: The region's abundant spices were highly sought after, bringing in wealth and prosperity. This economic stability contributed to the development of infrastructure and education. Natural Beauty: Kerala's lush greenery, backwaters, and beaches have always been a major attraction. This natural beauty has been carefully preserved and promoted, leading to a thriving tourism industry. Socio-Cultural Factors High Literacy Rate: Kerala has traditionally placed a strong emphasis on education, leading to one of the highest literacy rates in India. This educated populace has contributed to overall development. Matrilineal System: The prevalence of matrilineal systems in certain parts of Kerala empowered women, leading to a more gender-equal society. This has had positive impacts on various social indicators. Social Reforms: Kerala witnessed progressive social reforms like abolition of untouchability and temple entry for all castes. This created a more inclusive society, fostering unity and progress. Strong Community Networks: Kerala's strong community-based organizations and cooperative movements have played a vital role in development initiatives. Development Initiatives Land Reforms: Kerala's land reforms helped distribute land more equitably, reducing rural poverty and inequality. Public Health: The state has made significant strides in public health, with high life expectancy and low infant mortality rates. Education: Free and compulsory education, along with a focus on higher education, has created a skilled workforce. Infrastructure: Investments in transportation, communication, and other infrastructure have facilitated growth. It's important to note that while Kerala excels in many areas, it also faces challenges. Issues like unemployment, migration, and environmental concerns require attention...

**🌿 Struggling with Chronic Pain? Let’s Get to the Root! 🌿** When you’re in chronic pain, it can feel like your world shrinks, limiting your potential and dimming your light. So many people silently suffer, thinking this is just how life will always be. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be this way! Pain is often our body’s way of alerting us that something isn’t right—hidden toxins, imbalances, or root causes that have yet to be uncovered. By taking mindful steps to detox and address these issues, we can start the journey to true, lasting healing. Sometimes, all you need is someone to point you in the right direction. I know because I’ve been there...Diagnosed with fibromyalgia and asthma, then years later with multiple sclerosis and cervical cancer, my life turned into chaos...a total rollacoaster of pain, grief, hurt, and the why? Until I came to a crossroads. I could accept, or not and take action to do something about it. It's that simple. I chose to go deep, to make a total 180, and to immerse myself in understanding true health. I uncovered a path not only for myself but also for my autistic twins, helping them heal and grow far beyond what anyone thought was possible on a cognitive and emotional level. Healing is not a straight line—it’s a journey filled with intention, love, and resilience, tears and happiness and gratefulness. And now, my mission is to guide others on this path. I’m here to support other moms with autistic children, individuals struggling with chronic pain, and practitioners who want to bring holistic wellness to their patients. 💬 If you’re ready to transform your life, or if you’re a practitioner interested in learning how to support others on their path to healing, let’s connect! I’m offering a free discovery call to discuss your goals, challenges, and how we can work together to bring about profound change. Schedule your free discovery call here: https://lnkd.in/dt4_Faa9 My door is open feel welcome! Let’s take that first, courageous step together toward a pain-free, empowered life. ✨

Do You Need a Hug Every Time You Dress Up? Do you ask others, “How do I look?” whenever you slap on a new shirt or debut a fresh haircut? If so, buckle up, dear validation seeker—this habit has to go! Yes, it's time to jump off the endless carousel of needing a thumbs-up for every choice you make, including that risky neon-green sweater purchase. Why External Validation is the Devil’s Playground Think about it. Every time you fish for a compliment, you’re handing over the keys to your self-esteem to someone else. That’s like letting your weird uncle control your playlist. Before you know it, you’re down a rabbit hole of polka music, wondering why your life feels off. External validation is addictive. One day, you’re basking in the glory of a “Nice haircut!” and the next, you’re spiraling because your post only got seven likes (and two were from your mom). It’s a slippery slope filled with emotional potholes. Enter Self-Validation: Your New Best Friend Self-validation is like being the VIP of your own party. It’s realizing that you’re cool enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like you—or even if they don’t, who cares? You like you, and that’s what counts. It’s the art of strutting through life with the confidence of a cat who knows it nailed that jump (even if it didn’t). How to Swap External for Internal High Fives 1. Mirror Pep Talks: Give yourself a pep talk in the mirror every morning. Make it as epic as a halftime locker room speech. Throw in some fist pumps for extra gusto. 2. Become Your Own Hype Person: Who needs others to cheer them on when you can be your own hype squad? Celebrate your small victories by doing a victory dance or treating yourself to a Kobe steak. Remember, every little win is a step towards becoming your own superhero. 3. Meditate on Your Awesomeness: Take a few minutes each day to meditate on your achievements, strengths, and, yes, even your epic fails—because they mean you’re trying. Think of meditation as your personal charging station. 4. Journal Your Journey: Start a journal of all the cool stuff you do. Write down things you’re proud of daily, even if it’s just making a killer cup of coffee. It's about recognizing your own value without needing someone else to co-sign it. Embrace Your Inner Maverick Swapping external validation for self-validation is about embracing your inner Maverick. It’s about flying solo through the danger zone of societal expectations and coming out the other side with a killer soundtrack of self-approval. So the next time you're tempted to ask someone, “How do I look?” remember—you look like someone who doesn’t need anyone else’s opinion to rock their world!

IMO, it'll be a LONG time before online or virtual will beat face-to-face for the best learning outcomes.
