At Mygrow, we’re all about developing the skills that make the workweek better. But on a Friday afternoon? Sometimes the best "development" is a meeting that miraculously becomes an email. ☕️✨

Wishing our entire community a strong finish to the week and a restful weekend ahead. Take some time to recharge! You’ve earned it!

"People won’t remember what you said, but they’ll remember how you made them feel."

This really hit home for Deon White, IST Head at the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation Through his journey with Mygrow, Deon started looking at genuine positivity as a currency.

Using the Giving Praise technique, he’s ditched the empty flattery and replaced it with sincere praise, describing it as "dishing out candy" every morning. Whether it’s a heartfelt compliment or his new habit of walking the entire office floor to greet everyone personally before sitting down, the shift has been amazing. People are literally lighting up and going out of their way to connect with him.

It’s a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t just about the work; it’s about the energy you bring into the room.

How are you spending your "positivity currency" today?

Tshwarelo Sikwane’s secret to self-improvement? Showing up. She hit a 139-day streak, (Which is SERIOUSLY impressive...) took a hit when "life happened," and is now back at it. Why? Because daily consistency beats a one-day workshop every single time.

Real growth happens when you decide to change yourself for the better, one day at a time. ✨

Performance is 100% about how we connect with each other. 🤝

Mbali Mphande from the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation shares why Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is the ultimate performance booster:

Foundation of success: High performance is impossible without solid communication.

The safety net: When empathy is part of the culture, colleagues reach out to support you if you "drop the ball".

Productive feedback: EQ changes how we give and receive feedback, making the outcomes more positive.

Self-awareness: It helps us understand how our specific behaviours and reactions impact the rest of the team.

When we prioritise empathy and collaboration, the results take care of themselves. 🚀

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. 🎨
- Scott Adams

When I saw this quote this morning, it made me realise how harsh I can be to myself, especially when I make mistakes. That's the great thing about the tool of Emotional intelligence. It isn’t about being perfect, it’s about how we treat ourselves when we aren't.

In any relationship, especially the one you have with yourself, self-compassion is so important. High EQ means recognising that a "mistake" isn't a character flaw; it’s just a part of the process.

When we stop being our own harshest critics, we experiment without the fear of "getting it wrong," we regulate our emotions when things go off-script and recognise which stumbles are actually breakthroughs in disguise.

Give yourself a bit of grace today. You can’t curate a life you love if you’re too busy judging the rough drafts.

How are you being kind to your "mistakes" this week? ✨

"I don't think that's possible."

Ever felt that way about a KPI? Ryan Rutgers, the Head of Talent at Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, definitely did.

His team was already sitting at 77% engagement. In the HR world, that’s a "pat-on-the-back" score, comfortably above the national and global benchmarks. So, when he was handed a new target of 80%, he was understandably sceptical.

They had already tried so many interventions. How do you squeeze more engagement out of a team that’s already doing "great"?

Fast forward to the end of the year: They hit it. 🚀

When Ryan looked back at what actually made the difference, what moved the needle when everything else had plateaued, one thing stood out:

"Mygrow was definitely a key component of that."

It turns out that when you stop treating "engagement" as a metric to be managed and start treating "emotions" as a skill to be built, the ceiling disappears. Who knew! 😊 (Just kidding. We already had the scoop 😜)

Huge kudos to the team at the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation for proving that even "great" can be bettered!

We would love to chat about the positive effect Mygrow could have on your teams performance!
