Insighter Spotlight….Michael Baker: Leadership Development Consultant

18.11.2020

I caught up with Michael, ahead of our event this week and asked him about life in lockdown.

During the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns…
Have you learnt anything about yourself

That I can survive without the normal madness of life, that a calmer life was wonderful. That I have great friends and family.

What has surprised you – in a positive way.

How much food I can eat!!! I have loved watching people, including myself, discover all sorts of new ways of doing things.

Things to keep post-Covid –

My daily gratitude log/ journal. Really helped me to keep positive

Tips for not getting zoom fatigue…

Regular breaks, proper breaks where I go and get some air.

How can people best ‘manage’ whilst adapting to remote working?

Remember the importance of talking to others and using zoom as a communications tool, not just a meeting tool.

Michael will be a featured speaker at our online event this Thursday.  His topic, Getting the best out of Hybrid Teams-
Developing the skills that managers will need to get the best from people during the Covid crisis and beyond,  will give us lots to think and talk about.
