Putting growth and development on the agenda

Learn how to facilitate a team discussion to address and improve growth and development in the workplace. This resource includes a guide and slides to help you get started.

Improve your focus

Find ways to keep yourself calm and focused while working. Explore approaches until you find what works for you:

• Play music, a podcast, or just background sounds.
• Can’t work with sounds? Find ways to block out noise.
• Uncomfortable? Find what is just right for you and be sure you don’t end up with back or neck pain.
• Add a pillow, light a scented candle, get a plant or sit near a window.
• Dress for success, whether that means comfy clothes or a business suit.
• Take many short breaks to stay focused or take the entire 15 minutes away from your workstation to re-energize.

We’re all different so find what works for you and do it!
