Looking forward to running the workshop this weekend on co-creativity and the dynamics of relationships using #transactionalanalysis.  Let's see what's in the mix!

Did you know that the two day TA 101 workshop, An Introduction to Transactional Analysis now carries 16.25 CCEUs awarded by the International Coach Federation?

Today I heard about a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which identified that leaders are less stressed than their subordinates.

Taking a box of treasures ..... And I am expecting we will unearth all sorts of gems together, working through the TA in Context Diploma module.  How do you use TA?  As a coach?  As a trainer?  As a manager?  As a professional "people helper"? 

Are you a Hurry Up? Someone who is productive, quick, juggling 3 deadlines at once?  Not got much time for detail, listening or for those people who you see as pedantic, splitting hairs, slowing you down?  How about separating out the positive qualities: being conscious of time, looking at ways to be more effective, having a good work ethic and make sure you stay out of the negatives: irritation with people, not planning but reacting, not listening to others?  Hurry Ups have a great attitude from an organisational point of view - they work hard and they could work smarter by being grounded, conscious about actions and from time to time ...... slowing down to smell the roses!  Much less stressful for themselves - and others.

Those with Be Strong working style are calm in a crisis, level-headed, task-focussed with a good work ethic and a strong sense of duty and integrity. They can also bottle up their feelings until sometimes the body gives up and succombs to illness in order to get you to rest.  Be Strongs do not like to ask for help, seeing it as a sign of weakness and expect to cope with everything so do not share their feelings. Wake up Be Strongs!  Smell the roses!  Take some time to connect at a feelings level with those you care about - before they decide that you don't!

A couple of weeks ago the BBC reported on the delivery of government adviser Louise Casey’s report on “troubled families”.

I often find in my organisational work that many individuals, teams and organisations do not pay enough attention to endings.  When a person leaves a team, company or even country if they are going to work abroad, it is really important that the ending process is conducted effectively.
