Fortunately, I have some funny and creative short exercises you can do once a week to keep continuous self-improvement an organic part of your life. They only take about 15 minutes from your life a week, so you can give them a try.
Be regular: select one for every week. Bolder ones can try more of them on the same week 😉 Don’t forget to comment your experience, and share this article with your colleagues!
1. Board of Truth
Put a whiteboard on a wall where most of your team members run into it at least once a day. Write your name on it, and: “You did this well this week” – “You could do this better this week”. Ask your colleagues to write short feedback on the board during the week (can be anonym). Take a photo of the board every Friday, erase it and spend 15 minutes to learn from the feedback. Watch as team morale increases.
2. Intentionally the Opposite
Do one thing during the week differently than you would’ve done automatically. When you make a quick, instinctive decision, stop yourself and change your decision, trying a different path. Spend 15 minutes for lessons learned.
3. Totem Anything of the Week
Pick an animal / object / superhero etc. for your week on Monday. Write down the first 3 features that come into your mind about it, select one and do something like that each day of the week. Be that thing as a leader for a week. Spend 15 minutes on Friday to answer: “What have I learned?”

What They Didn’t Tell You About Listening
Most people think about themselves as having good communication skills, even though communicating efficiently is not an easy task. The reason behind this bias in self-assessment is often a false assumption shared with many people that communicating efficiently equals to communicating a lot. But the truth is that communication does not start with talking. It starts with listening.
And the really good communicators are those who can do both at the same time.
