Design Thinking brings an innovative approach that will change the way HR teams work and deliver. It empowers HR to reimagine every aspect of work such as the physical environment and how people meet and collaborate. Therefore, workplace design is not just a real estate subject, but an important aspect of work for HR. Design thinking in workplaces could refer to a wide spectrum of conceptions, such as seeing work as an integral part of people’s life and aspiring to provide a certain lifestyle rather than a basic office. As a result, the end product could be inspiring and makes employee feel both comfortable and intrigued.

As humans, we are good at allowing negative thoughts and emotions deter us from moving towards things that matter to us. We rationalise, confront and challenge these thoughts and emotions in the hope to ‘unpick’ and ‘eliminate’ them. All of these become a constant struggle and we end up being stuck in a vicious cycle. To help us get unstuck, we need to allow ourselves to adopt a psychologically flexible mentality. Stop letting our mind dictate how we should think and feel, and create a psychological distance for reaching our goals through value-based actions.
In this presentation, you will learn tips and techniques to become psychologically flexible.
