The Recipe for Motivated Staff

The tough globalized market pushes companies to seek highly motivated and committed staff members who give almost more than their best. Unfortunately, this doesn’t fit very well with the contemporary employee mind-set. 

Though employees are highly motivated to be actively committed, if only in their chosen occupational field, they no longer trust manipulative enticements by their employers that aim to squeeze out the last drop of their best performance.  They no longer feel loyal to the company as the company treats them as interchangeable resources.  Employees demand more and higher acknowledgements, adequate to their personality.  Employees nowadays overall want to be recognised as unique individuals who deserve personal relations in their workplace (2)

These differences in expectations produce disappointment, dissatisfaction, suffering and anger on both sides.  But how do we solve this problem when there already exist a multitude of motivational reward systems that should work efficiently but don’t? (1)

This is a global dilemma.  It is affecting every level of the workplace, national economies and the world economy.  This ongoing dis-ease between employer and employee is having a devastating impact.

The LD / WD approach is to assist Companies to see the uniqueness, dignity, choice and responsibility of each of its Staff Members.  Aligned with Company role, is the role of the Employee to find their Meaning, Purpose and Fulfillment in their workplace.  The combination puts both parties on a very different footing and therefore both get to experience different, better and more sustainable results. 

LD / WD see people as holistic – the PQ-EQ-SQ approach of body, mind and soul.  This inclusivity approach allows ROI to climb dramatically from the researched report of 12% for traditional training and psychology – to staggering numbers of improved engagement, performance and contribution.

LD / WD is a proud partner of several global organisations offering:

• personal development online assessments that includes EQ (Emotional Intelligence) and Energy fit to job/role criteria, Purpose of Life and Blood Type eating and lifestyle management
• Meaning-orientation to coaching / counselling with results of Ultimate Meaningful Living.  The enhancement of counselling qualifies us to work with Trauma.  

For 12 years LD / WD has offered a Holistic, Non-prescriptive, Uniqueness-orientated approach to Trauma, Transformation and Transcendence in the form of private sessions, workshops and programmes – a win-win, one-stop People Solution!

So, what are your Development, Promotion, Talent or Succession Planning needs?

My passion is your people – I want to be able to impact your company results, your people engagement and the SA economy.  You have budget restraints, dis-ease between Company and Employees as well as a greater number of people issues.  It is time to do some things differently, better and with sustainable results.  Our next step is to meet to chat about your needs and my solutions.  May I give you a call to set up an appointment?

Me and My Business

·        ME & MY BUSINESS

I am Dr Barbara Johnson – The People Developer - of Leadership Dimensions and Wellness Dimensions

Imagine the excitement!  I ran down the passage to the phone and said “I don’t care how much it is, how long it takes, or where it is – count me in on the next class”.

It was any ordinary weekday afternoon. I was researching people behaviour.  I came across a quote in the back of one of my old Psycho textbooks. “Better People, not in spite of, but because of the very circumstances people found themselves in” Viktor Frankl’s work.  Life traumas healed in finding unique Meaning and Purpose of life.

I was the second class to go through the programme – still very much in its infancy actually.  What was marketed as part-time 3-year programme - was in fact full-time 5+1/2years – I guess, when it is yours to do, somehow you will find a way to get to do it. 

Behind this, is my passion for children.  I figured, that in order for me to best champion children, I would need to assist their parents.  The best way to get to their parents was through corporate training and assistance programmes.

I offer business one on one Trauma, Transformation and Transcendence. 

I hold the broken lives of individuals – the moms and dads of the children – and together we find ways to find meaning in their trauma. 

TrueSelf brings about Transformation. 

Transformation allows for moving towards others or cause – Transcendence.

 

Mary had witnessed her mother’s car accident and ultimate death – she had been caught under the wheels of the car.

Mary could not let go of the image, feelings nor the guilt. 

In her trauma, her family life was miserable. 

Her work life was dysfunctional.  Her department had become depressed.

Within 5 sessions, Mary restored herself to being an efficient mother and wife -

On the employee side, she became potential for promotion – Transformation

Mary now works with people within her organization to find counselling/life coaching – Transcendence.

I see my future being more involved at a corporate level, assisting individuals to reach greater levels of potential in their lives – in that way, our children will have a better chance of living into their potentials. 

I am Barbara Johnson – How may I assist your clients?

Heal, Recover, Balance

Do you give yourself permission and time to heal and recover?  Both healing and recovery are about Balance of Life.  

Recently I was man-down, or should I say woman-down.  It was two days of being motionless due to headaches and flu-like condition.  It was either push on through the pain, the dizzy spells and foggy head or stopping and allowing the process to resolve.

All too often we don't give ourselves the time to just be.  Pain is the body's way of telling us something about what is happening in the emotions, the psyche, or in the environment.  In the rush rush of today's lifestyle, we "buckle down and just get on with it".  Dangerous.  Headaches and flu-like conditions can become migraines.  A two day process can end up being five days.  Those five days can have greater consequences all round.

The only person who is able to determine the severity of your condition is you.  It would also be up to you to have integrity, either way. 

Be genuine and life will treat you well.  Fool around with life and life will fool around with you.

Balance life the best you can - take time to heal and recover.  In the long run, it is worth doing it right.

Wellness Dimensions created from pure personal experience

It was February of this year that I signed up for El Camino Portugal.  230Kms walk with 25 South Africans in May/June of this year.  Three months to train, eat appropriately, supplement correctly and get my mind set ready to take on a challenge that I "needed to do" rather than "wanted to do".  Since childhood I have suffered leg pains - my concern was whether my legs could do the walk.  Would I get enough sleep at night to allow me to walk the next day, and the next day and the next day?  Would I need to get into the support van due to pain and exhaustion - or was I able beyond my imagination?

 In the next few days I will elaborate on this story and give you some insights along the way. 

I look forward to sharing with you - Barbara
