In a conversation with Jacinta Jiménez, vice president of coach innovation at BetterUp, she shares concepts from the first annual Inner Work Day that can help you become a better, more well-adjusted person to improve your life and career.
You can’t be your best self if you are consistently doing things that are self-harming. For instance, you may be a nice, helpful person and allow people to push the envelope, then when they start overreaching, you explode, ruining a work relationship. By practicing inner work, you can assess that you keep falling into this and other patterns that are not healthy nor help you with your work, career and homelife.
Before you can bring your best self to the office , you need to ensure that you are regularly monitoring yourself for signs of destructive behavior that end up hurting you and the people around you. This means you need to take good care of yourself. If you are self-regulating and focused on being the best version of yourself, people will notice. You’ll attract new and cool assignments at work, people will want to partner with you, recruiters will solicit you for jobs based upon your reputation and bosses will offer raises and promotions to keep you from leaving for another opportunity. Start contemplating what are your core values, and see if you are adhering to them.
There’s science behind why gratitude increases our well-being and improves our mood. Expressing what we’re grateful for counteracts our tendency to focus on the negative. Happiness researcher and BetterUp science board member Shawn Achor says that when we search for reasons to be grateful, we are training our brain to scan the world through a positive lens. Avoiding large groups and trying to stay safe, but also wanting to get out of the house or apartment, people have taken to walking.

How to Work with Someone Who Isn’t a Team PlayerDo you work with someone who isn’t a team player? This isn’t simply frustrating; it can affect your entire group’s performance. There are a few things you can do to try to encourage the person to think more about the team. Start by approaching your colleague with friendly questions, rather than accusations. You might ask: “What else is going on for you right now?” The roots of the person’s behavior may surprise you. It could be that they are dealing with a stressful situation at home that is leading to distraction at the office. Or they may be feeling work pressures that you are unaware of.
