A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub LinkedIn: A Gateway to Future You

2020 has brought more change than any of us could have imagined. Our personal lives look extremely different now than they did this time last year. For many of us, our working lives have also undergone serious change. However, change does not always have to be a negative thing. If you have the right tools at your disposal, and you know how to use them properly, you can design a future that bears a lot more resemblance to the life you would like to live. LinkedIn could be the

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - A Heartfelt Thank You to T-Hub

2020 has changed all of our lives and perspectives, probably more so than any other year we have experienced. For me, however, 2019 was also a year of great change and adjustment. But I got through it with the help of the wonderful Transition Hub program. Here I want to share how the program helped me deal with both personal and professional situations, and to express my deep and heartfelt gratitude to the program’s principals, Karen Thomas and Louise Watts, for the life-chan

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Leadership Impact in Action

Everyone has a leadership role to play during these complex times as we recalibrate and reimagine the future we need. You might be guiding your family, mentoring a team remotely, or motivating your friends to stay active and connected. As we continue to make sense of our new world order, it’s natural to reflect on what we are truly missing. Something is begging the question… How do we manage ourselves during this transition? What is yearning for our attention? How can we bett

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Energy Awareness

When it comes to having more energy, where do you start? This is a question often asked by our Transition Hub cohorts. There’s so much information out there about wellbeing that it’s natural to feel a bit overwhelmed about where to start. Every single decision we make whether consciously, or not, impacts our energy and potentially the energy of others. This is magnified in times of stress, particularly when in career transition. That’s why we have partnered with Transition Hu

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Mindfulness: A Life Skill

Why have I spent the last 10 years as an Executive Coach introducing mindfulness skills to my clients and encouraging the practice? Because I am living proof this life skill can be learnt and has a big impact on our wellbeing! I was first introduced to mindfulness practice a decade ago while studying positive psychology. Initially, my response to the concept was conflicted. On the one hand, I had tried yoga over the years and hadn’t particularly enjoyed it – I was a gym junky

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Harnessing What Works to Embrace Change

In ancient Greece, some 2500 years ago, the philosopher Aristotle suggested that ‘change in all things is sweet’ - in that, it is inherently positive. This may seem counterintuitive, yet with change a constant in our lives - how we embrace it can create the conditions to learn, develop and grow. Understanding and focussing on the positive - and what is working in our lives is encompassed within the field of positive psychology. Positive psychology is concerned with what works

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Building Resilience in Changing Times

Resilience is a word that is used in our everyday language, but what does it really mean to be resilient, and how do we build resilience? Resilience is the ability to cope in tough times. It is the capacity to tap into our inner strength and engage with support networks, to maintain mental wellbeing and forward momentum. Stress and everyday challenges are part of life. However, over the past few months, we have had more than our fair share of opportunities to call on our coll

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Psychology of Change

Life changing events and transitions affect us in many ways, impacting our emotional, physical, and psychological wellbeing. The ripple effect of change can also affect our finances, relationships, and future plans. Change has never been easy because we get attached to what we know, to our safety and comfort. Some of the current challenges we are experiencing relate to a loss of freedom, limited family contact and social life, loss of our favourite activities and daily routin

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Knowing Your Strengths

No one can argue that these are unprecedented times. This, combined with the unpredictability of what lies ahead, is a formula for stress, fear and for most of us, unforeseen transition. In a short period of time, we have all been forced into a new way of living and working. The question is, what can we be doing to best support ourselves in this new world? The importance of accurate and reliable data has been highlighted recently, as our communities attempt to limit the physi

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Mind Body Flow

During times of change - as we’ve all experienced recently - one of the first things to drop off is our wellbeing routine - this might be our 15 minutes of meditation before work, eating mindfully for maintaining our energy or making time for the gym (or even a simple walk). Mind Body Flow is a bespoke, gentle movement session that I designed specifically for Transition Hub, and in many ways, the MBF program (which starts mornings 2-5 of the complete Foundation Week) is a ref

A World in Transition: Insights from Transition Hub - Coach vs Critic

The human is the only species that developed a prefrontal cortex, which has meant that not only can we analyse the world around us, but we can imagine a completely different one and also communicate it through language. We use language to name things and ascribe meaning. Shakespeare’s Juliet posited that ‘a rose by any other name would smell as sweet’, but it’s not just the flower or its scent that we think of when we consider a rose. It’s a colour, a symbol of love, religiou

As we begin to navigate our way out of lockdown, with new perspective, we can reflect on the impact Covid-19 has had on our lives, with changes to the way we work, the way we connect and how we live our daily lives.

Mental Health & Wellbeing in the Future of Work

At the heart of Transition Hub is a human solution to an upcoming human challenge around the Future of Work. Conversations with our client base have changed as the rise of AI and automation bring with them a very real fear of the future work potential of many individuals across the world. Many roles that today seem certain will change and evolve and this will need a human shift in culture that will leave many individuals feeling anxious and alienated. As discussions around m
