Noradrenaline (also called norepinephrine) is a neurotransmitter which improves alertness, promotes vigilance, enhances formation and retrieval of memory, and focuses attention.
Levels of noradrenaline reduce as oestrogen levels reduce in the perimenopause and menopause. It is not a coincidence that memory problems, reduced ability to focus are common symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause when oestrogen levels are low.
Understanding & influencing courageous behaviour is an important part of leading change. If we don't feel courage, we won't try new things. @BillTreasurer helpfully describes "three buckets of courage":
1) TRY courage is the courage of first attempts, being wiling to experiment & try new things.
2) TRUST courage is about letting go of formulas that worked in the past, our preconceptions about how things should be & our need to control.
3) TELL courage is where people feel safe to express themselves authentically & fully.
It's our role as leaders to actively nurture the three courage buckets to create an environment where confidence & psychological safety prevail over fear. Powerful blog & sketchnote by @tnvora: https://t.co/2m9t5481m3, based on https://t.co/saA4DxaZAo

WooHoo! It’s #kindness day
Costs nothing. Means everything. A smile, a chat, an open door, make someone a cuppa, a compliment, a hug, hold a hand, let some into the traffic…
Go ahead punk, make someone’s day!

It's World Kindness Day.
You never really know what someone is going through. So be kind, check in, ask R U OK? and let them know you’re there for them.
Today, tomorrow and ANY day it’s needed.
