Your top performers aren't leaving the job, they're escaping the surveillance.

Stop trying to:

• Be a part of every task.
• Get frequent updates.

Instead, just focus on valuing their thinking, process, and growth.

The results will follow.

I write about purpose-driven work profiles for remote team integration. 600+ hours of deep human flourishing & positive psychology study in the last 2 years.

Here’s a simple framework for using positive psychology in remote teams: 
 
• Reframe the definition of a challenge. 
• Celebrate every single win possible. 
• Collect meaning narratives. 
• Apply collective strengths. 
• Regularly check in.

The benefits of multimedia in remote team bios: 
 
• Videos/photos add relatability. 
• Visuals convey personality and context. 
• Interactive elements engage. 
 
More than introductions, they're tools for building connections.

Understanding your teammates’ #1 self-care routines is transformational.

Here's how it can help:

• Shows value beyond work.
• Opens up well-being discussions.
• Inspires healthy practices in others.
• Collective self-care leads to success.
• Personal shares deepen connections.

“Keep it professional”

It's a misguided and misunderstood phrase.

Don't buy into it, do this instead:

• Share specific work successes and personal milestones.
• Describe relatable experiences, not just formal updates.
• Blend talks of tasks with unique individual passions.

Enhance team unity and connection.

Human > transactional.

3 Essential Elements Of An Internal Profile That Help Your New Team Know What They're Getting (And How To Take Advantage Of Your Full Potential)

3 Essential Elements Of An Internal Profile

Stay proactive with team dynamics.

Try using pulse measurements of the virtuous mean.

Science says start with these:

• Zest
• Hope
• Curiosity
• Gratitude

Ask your team to start and end each day by rating these virtues.

Unlock early insights and timely interventions for a thriving team.

Even minor team tension can be counterproductive.

Break the ice for innovation’s sake.

Here are 3 things to keep in mind:

• Address team tension openly.
• Respect any and all disagreements.
• Reframe conflict as a creative process.

Every resolved conflict iteration is a step towards something potentially groundbreaking.

Innovation dies in silence.



#conflictresolution #teamwork #leadership #productivity #creativity

Recognize the whole person...

…not just the role.

Tune into your team's fundamentals:

• Eating and nutritional protocols.
• Activity and movement.
• Quality of sleep.

The details are unnecessary for understanding how these can change who “shows up" to work that week.



#energy #fundamentals #leadership #management #employeeengagement

A thriving remote team doesn't just happen.

Encourage a culture of rapid recognition.

Here are some quick wins:

• Daily thank you notes.
• Weekly virtual awards.
• Milestone celebrations.
• Empower peer recognition.
• Acknowledgment in meetings.

Create these rituals of praise and witness the morale shift.

Leaders must filter what “comes down from the top.”

I failed at this on more than one occasion.

Here's my reframe...

The amount of push I was getting from above was heavy.

As a new manager, I chose to go with the flow.

My team paid the price of my decision:

• Task switching
• Confusion
• Stress

Thankfully, they said something to me about it.

~

Now I look at what comes down from the top through a new lens:

Will what I’m about to pass along offer more…

• Focus
• Clarity
• Confidence?

If the answer is “no,” I re-think if, when, or how I convey the information.

~

We’re already overwhelmed by the amount of information we’re exposed to on a daily basis.

There’s no need to add to it.

~

Here’s 1 easy thing you can do right now:

Don’t send your next “FYSA” email to your team.

(Especially if the email has “FYSA” embedded several times in the chain already.)

Every day, we experience transformational moments.

Each one is relatable to someone around us.

They go by different names:

• Matthew Dicks calls it a 5-second moment.
• Kindra Hall calls it the explosion.
• Rich Litvin calls it the 1 insight.

To bond more with your team, identify yours...

…then share it.

Repeat.

Uniting a team requires vulnerability.

Limiting beliefs can get in the way.

Here’s how sharing one can help instead:

• It humanizes your team interactions.
• It inspires collective growth and resilience.
• Personal challenges foster supportive bonds.

My coach helped me identify and reframe one of biggest limiting beliefs:

“I am enough.”

Now it carries me forward.

Building genuine team connections starts with authenticity.

Working closely with executives, I've seen these missteps often:

• Over-polishing the credentials.
• Ignoring personal interests.
• All work, no play.

Keep it real.

Keep it human.



#connection #leadership #vulnerability #authenticity #relationshipintelligence

Empowerment starts with a belief.

A belief in their potential.

Show them by:

1/ Designating time specific to discussions around goals and development. (Engage)

2/ Seek tailored opportunities for their genuine interests; job-related and not. (Encourage)

3/ Celebrate milestones and accomplishments to reinforce the learning culture. (Expand)



#leadership #professionalgrowth #personaldevelopment #engagement

These things don't matter…

• Town Hall recognition
• Time off award
• Money

…when all your employee wants is for you to see and acknowledge something he/she did really well this week.



#praise #recognition #leadership #employeeengagement #management

Why is trust such a factor in employee engagement, morale, and overall job satisfaction?

It should be second nature for leaders to establish trust among their teams:

1/ Share personal or professional narratives often, most helpful when relevant to the task.

2/ Be more curious when they come to you for anything. Questions; not advice.

3/ Consistently do what you say you will do.

Simple: share stories, stay curious, and deliver on your promises.

Some people like to chat it up before “getting to business.”

Others barely say good morning.

Here are 4 communication preferences to consider:

• High Context vs Low Context
• Direct vs Indirect
• Formal vs Informal
• Written vs Oral

Know how to get what you need.

Remote teamwork thrives on psychology...

…not technology.

Here are 3 things to keep in mind:

• Poor communication creates confusion.
• Ignoring team diversity undermines resilience.
• Disregarding work-life balance leads to burnout.

What are you doing to understand your team holistically?
