Siemens Procurement Team: Psychologically Safe and Commercially Successful
"let's reframe challenging conversations as opportunities for successful ones"
Thank you for accepting me into your team last week to work with you on the concepts of:
psychological safety
social/analytical mind
commercial success
and how they may interrelate and play out in our day-to-day business and domestic lives.
Please find the slide deck attached for your reference. There is one complex slide we didn't work through...see if you can spot it! Please also find a link to Liberman's hour-long Google talk in case you would like to listen to the whole version.
Here are two audio downloads and a pdf which build upon the techniques we practised. Please read the instruction pdf carefully before practising the techniques. Also, don't hesitate to ask me any questions about how to practise, any frustrations/difficulties/lack of interest you experience. Please email me mark@7futures.com. All communications are kept strictly confidential unless you indicate otherwise.
Please click on the arrow and wait for the audio to begin playing (this may take a few seconds). Please read the instructions for the breathing exercises (click here to view) before listening to the downloads. It has important information about the nature of such techniques, the preparation you may find helpful and also safety guidelines for anyone who has experienced trauma/significant stress.
It is not a straightforward linear process learning such techniques so regular short attempts are better than 20 minutes on a Sunday when you feel you have more time. By all means practise on a Sunday: but it's the regular practice which will help the neurons in your brain/nervous system start to build the connections which make the techniques easier to master and more impactful for you. There is no formal homework as such before we meet at the end of April...but it is likely to be very beneficial for you to practise the techniques with the help of the download and bring your experiences into the next session...or get in touch as suggested above. We could also have aTeams meeting with you as a group to discuss the use of the techniques if you think that would be helpful and make the next day more productive...please let Nicola and Chris know what you think.
From the feedback you have provided to Nicola the majority enjoyed the techniques so we can build more time into repeating and extending these at the next opportunity.
best wishes
Mark
