Cultural awareness

🤔 What can we learn from other cultures to improve our performance & wellbeing?

🌎 I've been fortunate to work with several diverse international groups recently.

🧠 There is always something we can learn from other cultures.

💯 If you understand how people think, lead and get things done across cultures you can massively improve your impact.

Here are 6 Japanese techniques which have the power to transform your performance & wellbeing.

😁 Ikigai - discover your purpose in life. Find something that makes you want to wake up every day because your purpose fuels you.

🪜 Kaizen - focus on small improvements each day rather than trying to do everything at once.

🔰 Shoshin - approach every task like a beginner with the same curiosity as if you were doing it for the first time.

🫂 Wabisabi - embrace imperfection instead of stressing over every little detail. Taking action is better than waiting for perfection.

🍅 The Pomodoro technique - work for 25 minutes without distractions, take a break for 5 minutes, then repeat - it’s a great way to get more done in less time.

🍱 Hara Hachi Bu - don’t stuff yourself with food - when you are 80% full stop eating - this will increase your energy.
