Much like compassionate leadership, meditation is a journey. At Technalink we encourage our teams to not just stay stationary in their meditation, but to grow their skills and abilities as time goes on. What they find is that the more they develop their meditative skills, the better their meditation works for them. They’re better at reaching that point of inner peace and balance, and they reap more rewards from the meditation sessions they enjoy. Whether you’re just getting started in the world of meditation, or you’ve been meditating for years, a few power tips can improve your meditative skills and push you along on your own journey in meditation:
Do You Use Music In Your Meditation?
Stress is a serious problem in today’s society, and this has never been truer than throughout the year 2020. Women in business are struggling with their regular hurdles alongside anything new the pandemic has brought to the business world, balancing leadership, families, home school, and keeping healthy while trying not to over-stress in the process. Many find that these emotional factors can make meditation difficult, but music can be the perfect cleansing tool to bring you closer to your center before the start of a restorative and balancing session. With mala prayer beads in hand, choosing your playlist can mean the difference between a session where you simply can’t find the focus and one that leaves you feeling like you can handle anything.
Do You Sometimes Experience Compassion Fatigue?
Compassion can be taxing at times, and leaders leading compassionately during tough times can sometimes begin feeling burnout. Successful women experience challenges and difficulties already and combining this with spiritual leadership as well as a work life balance during a pandemic, and its easy to see why patience can sometimes run short. If you begin feeling yourself growing anxious, irritable, or indecisive, it could mean you’re dealing with compassion fatigue and you don’t even realize it. You’re putting your team first, you’re aligning with their vibrations and putting yourself on the back burner, and you might not realize that you’re failing to show yourself compassion until it’s too late. A compassionate leader is compassionate not just to their team, but they know that self-care is equally important.
Care And Cleaning Of Your Mala Prayer Beads
Women in business might find themselves traveling, moving, and getting things done at any hour. While this is cause for plenty of stress for many, mala prayer beads are a tool one can use to lower stress and bring you back to center whenever you need it most. Soulful leadership is a journey, and moving forward on that journey requires clarity and compassion, both of which can be difficult to attain when in a stressed or overwhelmed state. Taking your mala prayer beads along with you on your many professional and personal journeys can lead to your beads accumulating dirt and damage, but knowing how to clean and care for your beads will keep them going for many years. Our teams at Technalink take special care of their mala beads using the following simple steps:
Are You Leading With Compassion Throughout The Pandemic?
At Technalink we prioritize compassionate soulful leadership, but we know that sometimes challenges can arise that make this difficult. Soulful and compassionate leadership is a journey, and it’s something that you’ll continue to progress in throughout your professional life. The Covid-19 pandemic has been an exceptional and unprecedented challenge for all professionals, which can make prioritizing your compassionate leadership even more difficult at times.
Approaching Leadership With A Remote Team
Remote work is a big departure from the comfort zones of many, and it all seemed to happen so suddenly during the early part of 2020. Months later, we’re still working remotely in many parts of the country and in many industries, so we’re getting used to a new normal for both leaders and their teams they lead. Because this is a new concept for many, teams and leaders are working together to find solutions to new problems, manage this new environment, and remain filled with innovation and ambition even when distractions may be plentiful. Each time you discover a new challenge this can take away from your day to day work, but every challenge can be overcome with compassionate leadership in mind.
Retain Your Mindfulness While Working From Home
As with many other businesses in 2020, Technalink is doing its best to keep the business running without compromising employees’ health and safety. When feasible, working from home is one of the best ways to do this, but it can bring a host of changes and adjustments for workers and managers that make this move.
