SHOW NOTES
Most of us are learning new ways to manage ourselves in hybrid work.
The good news is that you can navigate the hybrid workplace easily when you understand your beliefs and how you show up in this new world.
There are three skills and beliefs that are helping my clients thrive and feel ease at work.
The first is curiosity which is your willingness to learn and grow. Hybrid work calls for learning on your own. Yup, you’re now more like a self-motivated student: asking why, and being proactive about investing in your own expertise and figuring things out.
The second is empathy. Social interactions are complex, and full of ambiguities. This is even more true when you can’t be face to face, when you’re meeting people online and offline at once, and when you have to try and figure out what others want.
How can you know if your boss is happy with your work?
How do you know what your client really wants?
How can you tell if your teammate is upset about something you said?
The third is being open to experience. The rules and norms at work have changed and you’ll thrive if you can force yourself to learn, and do things that challenge who you think you are.
Do things that challenge your beliefs about yourself. If you think of yourself as an introvert or shy, chat with people that aren’t on your team. Volunteer yourself for new deliverables you’ve never done before.
The goal is to ensure that you’re exposing yourself to new and different. This is how you change who you are. This is how you can feel ease in hybrid work.
