Episode 1: #DetoxfromWork Irene and I get in a conversation about your burning question at work. In a work environment characterised by a lack of transparency and management by fear, how do you navigate your workplace while keeping your values intact? 🤔 Like peeling an onion, there are many layers and levels to this situation. Our reflection goes from the individual, team, organisation, to community levels of response-ability. From self-reflection, creating psychological safety and plotting an organisational strategy with empathy, we share perspectives and hands-on tools you can take home with you. Comments? Reflections? More burning questions? We invite you to join in on the conversation below!👇👇👇 #leadership #toxicworkplace #corporatewellness #workplacewellness

The last video of this series on Validation is on ‘Imposter syndrome & ego’ I’m sure most of you have experienced similar instances like I have of self-doubt, questioning your abilities or thinking that our skills and opinions are superior/inferior than the others. There are plenty of characteristics that influence these behaviors, but it is possible for us to keep ourselves in check by practicing self-awareness. Watch this video to learn more about how we experience these instances and what can be done to overcome them.

“Be consistent about being yourself..”- Sudhanya Mallick The pressure with regards to social media appearances and constant need to feel validated is a common feeling among most of us social media users. Here’s our take on how to deal with this, along with some great insights from Sudhanya.

In the past few years, I've observed a lot about myself in terms of my actions and reactions towards people and situations in life. ​ There have been many topics which have pushed me to introspect my behaviour, experiences and focus on what is most important to me for my self- development. We all experience situations which make us feel helpless, lost, confused, excited, ecstatic...... Have you ever reflected on these situations? This conversation with Sudhanya is one in which we speak candidly about the topic of 'Validation', in the areas of job-seeking, social media and other life situations. We talk about experiences and the steps taken to overcome some of the difficulties along the way. ​ I have begun to practice 'reflection' and 'self-awareness' more nowadays, and this has only made me feel grateful for each and everything that I have in life. I'm still learning how to prioritise things in my life, give back to society, stay positive and motivated and follow my passion. Thank you Sudhanya for sharing some wonderful insights on how to deal with some of the challenges I have faced and still do. ​ What does 'Validation' mean to you? Stay tuned for more! https://www.yellowandnew.com/collaboration-october-2020-1
