🌟 The Power of the Circle in Team work 🌟 In our team programs and in team buildings, we often find ourselves gathering in a circle. This ancient practice, passed down from our ancestors, holds profound significance. 🌀 🔄 Unity and Equality: The circle symbolizes equality, where no one is above or below. Each voice is equally important, fostering an environment of unity and respect. In a circle, we see each other’s faces, creating a connection that transcends hierarchies. 🌍 Connection to Our Roots: Our ancestors gathered around campfires, sharing stories, wisdom, and experiences. This tradition of communal gathering in a circle nurtured a sense of belonging and community, vital for survival and growth. Today, we honor this heritage by embracing the circle in our team-building exercises. 💡 Collective Wisdom: In a circle, ideas flow freely. Each participant contributes, and collective wisdom emerges. This collaborative approach leads to innovative solutions and a stronger team dynamic. It's a reminder that together, we are greater than the sum of our parts. 🤝 Strengthening Bonds: Sharing space in a circle builds trust and understanding. It breaks down barriers, allowing us to appreciate the diverse strengths and perspectives within our team. This bond strengthens our unity, making us more resilient and cohesive. As we embrace this timeless practice, let's remember the wisdom of our ancestors. By working in a circle, we create a powerful foundation for growth, collaboration, and success. 🌟 A pleasure working with Social Action of the Town Hall of El Prat. People that serve to help people to move forward or deal with all what they are going through. Amazing energy! Thank you for letting us be part of the convention and recharge, relax, laugh, learn and grow together. #TeamBuilding #AncestralWisdom #CircleOfTrust #UnityInDiversity #CollectiveWisdom #StrengthInUnity #Community #TeamSpirit

Last week, we led inspiring conversations aimed at celebrating our differences and promoting understanding through our new framework for active allyship, BRAVER. In true BRAVER style, we caught up with our  Chief People and Communications Officer, Syreeta Brown, Chartered FCIPD, to reflect and discuss the concept of allyship – the idea that we are at our best when we actively support, advocate and uplift one another.  Allyship is not a one-time effort; it's a mindset, a daily practice, and a commitment to creating a fair and equitable environment for all. It’s important to remember… 🤝 Inclusion is a team effort | True inclusion requires the collective efforts of each and every one of us. It's about ensuring that no one feels left out, unheard, or unseen  ❤️ Empathy and understanding | It's about putting ourselves in others' shoes, listening to their stories, and appreciating their unique perspectives.   🫶 Advocacy and action | Look for ways that you can each be an advocate for those who need support.  👂 Continuous learning | Active listening allows you to hear people's other vulnerabilities, it's a wonderful thing when you take time to get to know people.  🎉 Celebrate differences | Our diversity is our strength. Let's celebrate the richness of our varied backgrounds, experiences, and talents. #VirginMoney  #BRAVER  #AlifeMoreVirgin

Reflecting on Diversity and Strengths In our journeys, both personal and professional, it's vital to remember the wise words of Stuart Duncan: "Nobody thinks less of the penguin because it cannot fly. It's simply a different kind of bird. Different. Not less." This quote is a powerful reminder that our unique abilities and differences are not shortcomings, but rather distinctions that set us apart. The penguin, a creature incapable of flight, excels in ways that other birds cannot, thriving in environments they dare not enter. As we navigate the diverse landscapes of our workplaces and communities, let's not undervalue ourselves or others based on what we cannot do. Instead, let's celebrate the varied talents each person brings to the table. Embrace diversity, encourage inclusivity, and empower every individual to share their unique contributions. Let's strive to see the unique strengths in everyone, much like we admire the penguin for its prowess in the water, not its inability to soar through the skies. #DiversityAndInclusion #StrengthsBased #Empowerment #InspirationalQuotes

Happy Holi, everyone! For me, Holi has always been a symbol of inclusivity, and I believe it's the simple steps that we often overlook. This Holi let’s practice inclusivity in the most simple ways, personally and professionally: Personally: >> Listen: Hear people out, genuinely try to connect with them. >> Include: Invite everyone to join in, just like inviting friends to a game. >> Respect: Treat others nicely, just like you want to be treated. >> Learn: Find out about different cultures, and learn to value different perspectives. >> Speak Up: If someone's left out, step in and help, like being a friendly guide. Professionally: >> Collaborate: Work together as a team, like players in a sports match. A great team can do wonders and creating one is the key!! >> Acknowledge: Recognize everyone's efforts, like giving a high-five. >> Encourage: Support others to share their ideas, like cheering on a teammate. >> Lead: Show others how it's done, like being the captain of a ship. Let’s not only be focused on planning! Talking about inclusivity is one thing, but practicing it in our daily lives is where the real difference is made and change has to start with us :) #Inclusivity #Unity #SocialGood #HappyHoli
