Skill-Pill

Welcome to Skill-Pill's April Health Check. This month's 'Enabling People' set of pills will improve the way you work and interact with colleagues. In addition, we're unveiling a pill produced alongside a new book by acclaimed business writer
Lynda Gratton.
The Skill-Pills we are introducing this month include GLOW: Releasing Hidden Energy, Body Language: First Impressions, Connecting with People and Tackling Big Decisions.


Lynda Gratton's latest book, GLOW, is a guide to make your organisation glow with creativity and ideas. One way to do this is to release the hidden energy that exists within you, your colleagues and the team as a collective. Questions generate sparks that release hidden energy. This Skill-Pill includes several ideas to help you build an inquisitive mind and re-examine things in different ways. This will enable you to ask different questions, encourage your colleagues to look at things differently and release hidden energy.

Take this pill if: You want to make your organisation glow with creativity.
 


We know we're being judged quickly all the time. And we know how important our body language is to people's first impressions. And we all know to smile where appropriate and maintain eye contact. But this Skill-Pill explains how your entire body should be utilised to present you as a positive, intelligent, honest person that people will want to deal with.

Take this pill if: You know the importance of a first impression.
 


Every person has a different story about how they came to be where they are, about what they're working towards and what is most important to them. For most people, their jobs play an essential role in their stories. This Skill-Pill demonstrates how to unlock these stories, and connect them with the company's goals and achieve lasting commitment and job satisfaction that will outlast any bonus.

Take this pill if: Your company is looking for consistent growth and profitability.
 


There are a number of incorrect assumptions about making big decisions. This pill debunks these misconceptions and explains clearly how to go about tackling a big decision, whether at work or at home, how to include everyone in the process, and how to decide on it's success.

Take this pill if: You'll be making a big decision.
