19.01.2022 QUOTE // "Neuroeconomics professor Paul Zak and his team (The Neuroscience of Trust, Paul J. Zak, Harvard Business Review January February 2017) came up with some startling figures in their research on just how important a culture of trust is to your bottom line and to a thriving team. Compared with people at low-trust companies, people at high-trust companies report 74% less stress, 106% more energy at work, 50% higher productivity, 13% fewer sick days, 76% more engagement, 29% more satisfaction with their lives and 40% less burnout high-trust companies hold people accountable but without micromanaging them. They treat people like responsible adults. From Culture 101: creating places where people thrive and profits grow, Penny Nesbitt, 2017

17.01.2022 The POWER of TRUST // Compelling research from Paul Zak, Neuroeconomics professor, about how our brains respond to trust. Zak and his research team found "...that building a culture of trust is what makes a meaningful difference. Employees in high-trust organizations are more productive, have more energy at work, collaborate better with their colleagues, and stay with their employers longer than people working at low-trust companies. They also suffer less chronic stress and are happier with their lives, and these factors fuel stronger performance"

13.01.2022 Just completed my first address at the #Convrg2018 in Melbourne. My discussion was about culture change and using Talks that Matter to build the DEEP culture that will support the constant change to the FRONTIER culture where you interact with others, team, clients and market you operate in What an incredible group of people coming together to learn and grow. #convergence2018 #pennynesbitt #culture #culture101 #talksthatmatter #changemanagement #change

13.01.2022 QUOTE // Isnt this a beautiful quote? One of my favourite Christmas quotes because it reminds me of what Christmas is truly about. Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we dont quite know how to put our love into words. Harlan Miller

07.01.2022 ABSEILING with A**EHOLES - CULTURE HACK // While they have their place, seems that sometimes, a game of paintball, a few rounds of golf or drinks on a Friday after work, just arent enough on their own to cure what ails a group of people that just dont seem to be operating as a high performing team.

And what a ride that was... READ ON

05.01.2022 QUOTE // "How people feel about coming to work every day, how engaged they are and how effective, all of these elements of a productive, thriving workforce are strongly affected by the nature of the teams people are part of. A lot of business-critical decisions are made in teams, and that means that people across and outside of the company are very likely to be impacted by the decisions that are made in those teams whether theyre humming along or, frankly, hate the sigh...t of each other. The people you choose, their individual strengths, clarity around the companys core purpose and how it connects to them (and therefore how committed they feel) these are all critical factors that science tells us profoundly affect the success or failure of a team, and its ability to achieve objectives". The single most important factor in developing and fostering a thriving team? Trust, deep trust". Penny Nesbitt, January 2018
