\u201dSurround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.\u201d<\/em>
\u2014 Oprah Winfrey<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your environment influences you more than you think.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The environment is about much more than just a physical space. It includes the people you surround yourself with, the tools you have access to, the systems you operate within, and even the invisible norms that shape your everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Pyramid of Change, this is the lowest level \u2013 the foundation that impacts all other parts.<\/strong>It\u2019s the part that\u2019s easiest to change, yet it\u2019s often the one we underestimate. Just like a seed needs the right soil, sunlight, and water to grow, you and I need the right conditions in our environment to develop and flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 What does your environment look like? Does it strengthen you or limit you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Your environment shapes your leadership.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a manager and leader, you are daily influenced by your work environment, the people you collaborate with, and the structures in place. The question is:
\u2705 Does your environment give you energy, or does it drain you?
\u2705 Do you and your colleagues inspire each other to grow?
\u2705 Do you support each other when the going gets tough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the pandemic broke out, I had an important realization \u2013 my social network where I live was very limited. For many years, my job had involved a lot of travel, which meant that when I was finally home, I prioritized rest and family. I had friends all over the world, but few I could meet for a spontaneous coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It became a wake-up call. I chose to actively change my environment.<\/strong> by reconnecting with my congregation and getting involved there. Today, I\u2019m one of two chairpersons in our parish leadership \u2013 a role that has given me new perspectives and a place where I get to share different stages of life with others. It\u2019s an environment where I both give and receive support, and where I\u2019m constantly challenged to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 What can you change in your environment to grow?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Vem lyfter dig \u2013 och vem lyfter du?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If I were to choose a single factor that has been crucial to my development, it would be the people in my environment. Those who believed in me before I believed in myself.<\/strong> Mentors, colleagues, and friends who have shown me new perspectives, pushed me to be braver, and helped me navigate through challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same way, I\u2019ve become more aware of how I influence others<\/strong>.
\ud83d\udc49 How can I lift someone up today?
\ud83d\udc49 How can I be a better mentor, colleague, or friend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our environment is not static \u2013 it\u2019s shaped by us, and we can actively choose to create a space where more people dare to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What can you do today?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by reflecting:
\ud83d\udcad Which people in your life are you grateful for?<\/strong>
\ud83d\udcad Who lifts you to the next level?<\/strong>
\ud83d\udcad Which person do you lift \u2013 and how can you do it even more?<\/strong>
\ud83d\udcad What networks are you a part of? Do they give you energy?<\/strong>
\ud83d\udcad What do you need in your environment to move forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel that your environment isn\u2019t helping you move forward \u2013 dare to change it. It could be about seeking new contexts, reaching out to a mentor, building new relationships, or creating an environment where both you and others can grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf31 You are an important part of someone\u2019s environment. By being clear about your values and acting on them, you create a positive impact on the people around you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcac Feel free to share in the comments \u2013 what change in your environment has had the greatest impact on you?<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
