If you'd like to dive deeper into the topics discussed in this episode, we have provided links to related episodes and resources within the show notes.

To foster a positive work environment, we suggest incorporating some practical steps into your daily routine. Consider: 


1. Practising gratitude: Take a few minutes each day to reflect on what you're grateful for, and express gratitude to your colleagues for their contributions. 


2. Recognition: Make sure to recognize and acknowledge your colleagues' achievements. Help them understand the impact of their work on the organisation's objectives. 


3. Empathy: Show empathy not only towards your colleagues but also towards yourself. Practising self-empathy allows you to better understand and empathise with others. 


4. Reflection: Take the time to reflect on your accomplishments, challenges, and goals. Consider what you can do differently next time to anticipate obstacles and strive for even greater success. 


On the topic of reflection, Aoife is currently creating a digital planner/workbook specifically designed to guide you through the process of reflection. Stay tuned for more information on this valuable tool that will help you stay on track with your personal and professional goals. 


Finally, we extend our deepest gratitude to all of you who have taken the time to complete our survey and submit questions for the upcoming listener questions segment. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9RLXFY7  Your feedback and engagement are invaluable to us, and we appreciate your continued support of the Happier at Work podcast.
