Petra Velzeboer

What a fun event to be part of! Challenging misconceptions about resilience, motivation and mental health, offering insight and ideas into the new world of work! A privilege to share the stage with Scotty Mills and Dr. Alex George

Thanks JLA for having me :)

Many thanks Scotty Mills, Petra Velzeboer, Dr. Alex George & our host Stuart Goldsmith for braving the cold to give us an insightful & engaging Speaker’s Breakfast on Motivation, Resilience & Mental Health. Many points made can be taken into both our personal and professional lives.

Do check the short replay of our LinkedIn live w/Petra Velzeboer Peter Brown. Loved Petra’s points on the “human P&L”, showing emotions and the paradox of feelings.

Being in office at 515am made me appreciate my morning media friends even more:)

The Reinventing Work Report from Adaptavist shows 31% of British employees are so overwhelmed with work, they don't have time to talk to colleagues. Yet 55% have not accessed their employers #mentalhealth resources.

Two steps to up-level your efficiency👇

1. Think about which process you can automate to leverage value

2. Devote a specific time to work on it every day

At the end of a month, you’ll be surprised at the time that has been saved as a result.

The small wins add up over time!

Growth allows us to become whoever we want to be, and the possibilities are endless.

Take a moment to reflect...
What kind of leader do you want to be?
What's stopping you from becoming who you want to be?
What's stopping you from realizing your potential? 🚀

What to do when you're having an overwhelming day 👇

Focus on the ONE task right in front of you.

It's easy to get caught up thinking, 'How am I going to get through this week?' With this mindset, you can handle ANYTHING.

What works for you when you feel unmotivated?

“Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist” - Eckhart Tolle

The more aware you are of the source of your thoughts, the less power your ego has over you. 💭

Repeat after me 🗣️My trauma is VALID!

No matter how big or small
No matter how long ago
No matter who’s at fault

Avoid the comparison game. Avoid the guilt and the feeling of unworthiness.

Give yourself permission to heal.

Everyone on this earth has a particular purpose and mission. What do you think is yours?
There’s always time to find out!

So often we’re just going about our day, running around and trying to cross items off our to-do list that we don’t even take the time to observe the beauty around us.

✨Notice the blue sky
✨Hear the birds chirping
✨Notice the breeze
✨Pet your dog
✨A beautiful flower

With everything that is going on around us, it can be easy to sink into the heaviness of our time.

Don't wait for other people to bring you joy and connection.

Instead, nurture this energy within yourself.  🙌

Think about it. What would you be doing differently?
 
Working to live and living to work is a vicious cycle that so many of us get caught up in.
Strive to prioritize the things that truly make you happy and boost your overall quality of life. 🙌

What are you prioritizing today? 🔥

I've been doing combat workouts during my lunch breaks! I find that it provides a much needed break from work and all that's on my mind. After sweating it out, I come back with renewed focus and vigor!

How are you staying mentally and physically fit during quarantine?

Start by starting. You’ve got this. 🙌

Success comes in different forms for different people. Your version of success may not be the same as the next person, and that’s okay.

Success is a personal journey. You set the definition.

How do you define success?
