KEEP GOING

Contenu

Everyone in the world is going through a difficult period. We have political earthquakes, social tsunamis and a pandemic. Many people today look for a foundation, but also look ahead to tomorrow to build a more stable future.

In this activity you can work on:
Shared risk and assets
Ethical clarity
Caring as core
Resilience is my middle name

It is important to work together and to share experiences and knowledge with others. To be aware of the valuable aspects in a social and professional network, so that we can contribute to new ways of equality. And that everyone is protected in a risky world. What are your opportunities to do something good for society? Does it contribute to equality? Will people who need it get extra protection through this plan?
﻿
Shared risks and assets
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the sharing economy is defined as “an economic system in which assets or services are shared between private individuals, either for free or for a fee, typically by means of the internet.” For example people are sharing tools like a professional microphone or an electric drill, with each other, because buying one is expensive and quite often not used enough by one individual to cover costs. This sharing of assets can also be done for businesses, when someone has a specific skill, like doing administration, while another person has social media expertise. These assets can be exchanged with each other, for a fee or for free. Benefits from sharing assets can be that it can be cheaper, more sustainable, more convenient or flexible for users, and you can earn money via your assets when you personally are not using them.
﻿
While these new developments in collaboration people also need to rethink about ‘when sharing assets’ who is responsible or having the risks? Lloyds has completed the Sharing risks, sharing rewards research about this and the top five risks for consumers globally are around personal safety, quality of service, damage to assets and theft or lack of sufficient safeguards. Possible solutions are for example broader insurances.
﻿
Ethical clarity
Why is ethical clarity so important? Ethical clarity helps us to gain insight into different values that are important and giving direction to a path to be followed. Values vary not only from person to person, but also they are different in different countries and cultures. Antony Robins in his book "Unlimited Power: The new Science of Personal Achievement" connects leadership and values. He emphasises the importance of a person to discover what are his/her values, and how they are connected to personal goals, and how to mediate between existing values that are in conflict. The author emphasises the importance of being congruent, as well as being smart to consider the values of other people around us. Stephen R. Covey in "7 Habits of Highly Effective People'' starts with the discussion of character ethics as the foundation of  success. The author defines: "the character ethic is based on the fundamentals idea that there are principles that govern human effectiveness - natural law in the human dimension that are just as real, just as unchanging and unarguably 'there' as law such as gravity are in the physical dimension.'' He refers to the principles such as fairness, integrity, honesty, human dignity, service (as an idea of making a contribution), quality, excellence, growth, patience, nurturance, encouragement, etc. According to the author when we highly regard the correct principles we can have enduring and permanent value. Although both authors name things differently, they both refer to the importance of discovering and having ethical clarity that drive us and shape our future.         
Earlier we asked ourselves what are our opportunities to do something good for society? How can we do changes? There is a link between ethics and leadership and change. Ethics lies at the heart of the powerful leadership. Antony Robins highlight that if we want to work effectively with someone else, a group of people or an organisation, we must learn their set of values, and if we don't share the values, we can end up being unhappy. Knowing someone else's values can help us - as leaders find effectively the needs of others, solve the emerging value-conflicts, and reach greater goals. 
﻿
Caring as core
Stephen R. Covey sees "service" - as one of the principles of the Character Ethic, which is based on the idea of making contribution. As well it can be understood as a principle of caring for ourselves and others. Remember the time when we are in a plane and we get an instruction to put on an oxygen mask first before we help others. The philosophy here is that if we run out of oxygen, we can't really help others. Thus, taking care of our well-being is a must. Being empathic is a skill one can develop. For instance, the book "Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ"  by Daniel Goleman is a great example of how to combine self-care and care for others. The author refers to the emotional intelligence, as a key to success, and as an urgence of understanding our and emotions of others, and how to use emotions to direct our lives. Earlier we talked about how important it is to take care of yourself. Daniel Goleman talks about how to develop the ability of self-awareness as an understanding and recognition of our feelings, and the ability of self-regulation as a choice on how to react to our feelings. Furthemore, there are ways to stay motivated, understand and recognize the feelings of others, and, lastly, how to handle the emotions of other people. Concluding what was said above, emotional intelligence (EQ) is equally important as IQ.So, let's take a moment and think: is there a smarter way to take care of yourself and others?

Resilience is my middle name
Why is resilience so important? What does it even mean? And how do we know we are resilient? Our ability to adapt to adversity, tragedy, stress and traumas and bounce from challenging moments in our life can be defined as resilience. The strength the resilience gives us, it helps us to accept and overcome the difficulties we face. Resilience can be improved and assessed. If you are interested to know what habits you need to adopt to be more resilient, take a test Everyday Health Assessment: Get Your Resilience Score.  Karen Doll, Psy.D., L.P. says: "Resilience activities are ways we can develop resilience like a muscle, as it needs to be worked in order to get stronger." Have a look at the tools and exercises Karen Doll proposes that can support you in building resilience - 17 Science-Based Resilience Building Activities.
