EUROCLEAR:
TEAM INNOVATION
The Challenge
This executive team had the opportunity to be more than the sum of its parts – to make better use of its collective skills – to enhance innovation. In order to help foster creativity, the Chief Executive Officer identified the need to challenge the team’s traditional affiliative style and increase its comfort level with constructive dissent, viewing it positively.
​
The Approach
Physical Intelligence techniques were used to address collaboration and innovation and challenge silo’ed thinking/protectionism. Participants were introduced to posture and breathing techniques to achieve low cortisol and alert relaxation, essential for innovation and to develop the mental strength and clarity to manage their threat response in the midst of innovation – linking their mindset to physicality. They learned what types of movements support convergent vs. divergent thinking and how to relax their minds to foster creative connections. As a team, they collaborated on an exercise designed to promote divergent thinking and constructive dissent and learned how to counteract negative bias. They also learned the importance of networks and social intelligence as opposed to silo’ed thinking to create an environment that fosters the ongoing exchange of ideas.
​
The Physical Intelligence group session was followed by one-on-one coaching on the use of physical intelligence techniques to reinforce the core concepts introduced during the group session and provide individual support tailored to each team member.
​
The ROI
Within only weeks of the training, it was clear that the team was working together better and interacting in a more effective way. Each individual’s performance and level of confidence had clearly improved. Within months, operating results had increased, feedback from clients had improved, and the team had received excellent feedback from regulators. In addition, because executive team members were more empowered, they, in turn, more effectively empowered their teams, freeing up more time for the executive team to work on strategic planning vs. tactics. As new individuals have joined the team, they have recognized and commented positively on the open collaboration and constructive approach the team takes and its comfort level with challenging each other’s thinking. On a personal level, the physical intelligence training had also positively impacted the personal life for many team members, enabling them to more effectively manage their professional and personal lives.

ENDURANCE
The Winning Cocktail for Endurance
Endurance is about mental toughness, determination, perseverance and planning, having a strategy for sustaining effort during difficult times and maintaining peak performance for longer periods of time. It is about time management and energy management. When things are physically, emotionally and mentally painful, when extreme patience is required to keep communication open - you need endurance. When you need to re-commit to a plan despite thoughts of giving up, when you are in the midst of a challenging project and struggling to reach resolution and it’s difficult to remember why this chosen path seemed like a good idea – you need endurance.
​
Dopamine is a key chemical for endurance. Dopamine levels drop when there is no reward in sight and you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. We need to be able to boost our own Dopamine levels when things are difficult. Underlying levels of DHEA (vitality and longevity) support endurance, as does the release of Beta endorphins – our natural pain killers. With specific techniques, it is possible to develop endurance. To build stamina, an athlete trains for a week on rest and recovery and positive mind-set, followed by a week of all out endurance training. Using breath, movement, and mindset techniques, Companies in Motion prepares you to train this way for your professional and personal lives, building capacity for the heavy lifting we all inevitably will face.
​
These Physical Intelligence techniques will help you with endurance:
​
Achieving Long Term Goals
-
Think of a long term goal and visualise interim milestones you need to accomplish in order to achieve your long term goal. Clear focus on that goal is the first step to achieving it.
-
To generate energy to continue to move forward, firm/flex your muscles and envision stepping along a timeline toward your next goal. Say out loud, “Come on! You can do this!” (boosts dopamine). When we see something we want, we feel a shot of dopamine. When we step towards it, we feel another shot, and when we reach out and grasp it, we get a
bigger shot. Muscle- firming gives us willpower and the ability to keep going. -
Celebrate achieving each milestone (boosts dopamine and testosterone).
Motivating Others
-
Appreciation is a powerful motivator. Send three quick texts/emails thanking/appreciating people for something.
