Summary
Typically, at the beginning of a workday, the question is asked “How are you today?” The response is often “fine” or “doing okay” which gives little information about how a person is actually feeling/doing. An innovative approach is to ask “How charged is your battery today?” This question can be asked of members of your team, and can be used to check in with yourself. We will expand upon this metaphor using the creative process and explore how to successfully initiate this method. We will discuss other tactics to stay connected to your team and yourself and improve retention and resilience.
