It´s almost World Happiness Day. In this ¨Buddy Talks¨episode Tiago Nunez and Rahim Gulamali discuss their path to happiness, enjoying the journey and ikigai. What makes you happy?   Happiness is found in different things for everyone. Although we found that high level, there are many similarities. Do you feel happier when you: -      have a sense of belonging and support? With your family, friends, or a work ¨family¨? -      live a purposeful life? Whatever that purpose may be. -      share your passion? Or even make it your job. -      give back to the world in any way? -      regularly exercise and go outside? Whether it´s a heavy workout or a nice walk.   It´s likely you answered YES to at least a few of those. They are universal, and the way they make you happy evolves. Maybe that´s why true happiness comes to those that learn to enjoy the journey instead of only achieving the goal, who know you are not what you do and have a purpose that exceeds their career. What do you think?   These 3 questions can help you get to the essence of a non-career-related purpose: 1.     Can you tell us who you are without making it about what you do? 2.     What would you like your legacy to be? Not work related. 3.     Which things are essential for you outside of your career?   Feel free to comment on your answers. Is it your time to enjoy every day?   #ikigai #worldhappinessday #buddytalks #podcast #happy #growwithdna

Entitled, or not to be entitled! That is the topic of our conversation today.  I'm entitled to work from home I'm entitled to receive a higher pay I'm entitled to do whatever I want to do I'm entitled to decide ....... We all are allowed to have our opinions, and share our preferences. The question we are trying to answer is if our (perceived) entitlements are not getting in the way of business in the new world? Are we too focused on employee well-being versus business well-being? And how do we make sure that the right people stay onboard? And help others to find the right company for them?  PJ and I work in the area of Purpose LED Change. During a peer-to-peer brainstorm, we touched on the topic of Entitlements.

Topic: Why is transparency in the workplace important?  CO-Creators: James Burrows and Rahim Gulamali  Why should you listen?  Distilled to its essence, transparency in the workplace is about earning your people’s trust by communicating in an open, honest way. When team members feel like their managers or colleagues are people they can count on to tell the full truth, they’re happier and more productive. At Front, we've found that to be true time and time again.  The truth may not always be pretty. Being upfront and honest about the challenges you face, the mistakes you’ve made, and what you’ve learned from those missteps show you’re committed to transparency — even if that means ending up with a bit of egg on your face. But people respect honesty, not perfection. This week we look at a practical use case as applied by the leadership team at Rentals United and the lessons learned along the way! Best Practices and talking points  • Meet regularly  • Trust your team members  • Don´t flinch when things get though • Actively encourage questioning  So how did Rentals United do this and what was the effect Co-Creation:  This podcast is Co-Created with James Burrows, CEO and Founder at Rentals United, and Rahim Gulamali, Founder at DnA Executive Co-Creation Network.

This week's bonus ask me Anything¨ I wanted to spend a little time around the topic of why team members do not change and take ownership. And in this case, I wanted to look at role modeling and how you lead, influence how people perform!    Why should you listen?  I don't have time for Lunch  When I´m not on top of it, nothing happens  I´m a fireman. I Extinguishing fires   I´m part of all decision-making  I need to protect my team from the outside world  I´m losing great resources  I need to be on top of my team's activities/deliverables  I If any of the above points resonate, then this is the podcast for you!   Being the specialist does not mean you have to get involved at all times!  Most leaders get promoted because they are good at doing the job themselves. But leading people means it’s not your job to do it yourself. It’s theirs. You did not hire people just to come in and clock their time, push on some buttons, and clock out. You hired them to enable the business to improve and perform. You hired them to deliver success. You hired them to co-create the future!  So step 1 is acknowledging that you are part of the problem.    Delegate, delegate, delegate.....  Accountability does not happen if you don’t delegate the decision-making and the solution design and delivery. The moment you learn to delegate the decision, solution design, and delivery, you only need to ensure that the progression is measurable so you can coach your team and ask the right questions to enable them to broaden their mind and skills.  If you do this right, you will free up time and energy to focus on what is important to achieve, improve and negotiate in the mid-and long term!   Conclusion:  When you delegate the responsibility (please make sure you set them in their goals and objectives), your team can be coached to improve the way, the quality, and the results they are hired to deliver. Trusting that they are appreciated, that they can make a difference, that they are backed, that they can make decisions (within a certain remit), and subsequently are supported,  covers the basic levels of comfort which are safety, trust, and being part of something bigger!   The moment you start doing this, you will free up time to coach more, negotiate the future, and grow the business as a value-added partner and service.   About Rahim Gulamali  As a trusted advisor, I support Sr. Leaders and Executives to achieve SUSTAINABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE, empower people, and transform approaches to achieve sustainable growth. Coaching is just one element of how I enable you to be the best version of yourself and elevate a spirit where we co-create and solve everyday business challenges!   CONNECT WITH ME VIA LINKEDIN: or book a complimentary call via my scheduler

Why should you listen?   Let´s start with a few interesting statistics:  -41% of companies that use peer-to-peer recognition have seen positive increases in customer satisfaction (Source: Globoforce)   - Companies with recognition programs that are highly effective at improving employee engagement have 31% lower voluntary turnover (Source: Bersin & Associates)    With the workforce returning to a more normal cadence between working from home and returning to the office we see a vast shift in people looking to make changes in their jobs. Some call it the big exit, others call it the loss of trust and engagement towards the companies’ objectives, culture, and structure. Andrew and Rahim discuss the topic of Recognition and rewards and how you as a leader and organization can make a new start to deliver engaged and inspired connections with your people.    Co-Creation:   This podcast is Co-Created with Andres Smith, Founder of the Beacon Business Support, and Rahim Gulamali, Founder at DnA Executive Co-Creation Network.
