For me these elements for connecting to clarity all have impacts in a work environment:

First way to connect to clarity – Conception

Generating ideas and collaborating for better outcomes are what spring to my mind for conception. So conception is not only connecting with my ideas, it is connecting with others to improve the end result.

Second way to connect to clarity – Care

For me consideration and empathy are key to feeling valued and connected in the workplace. Connecting is caring for your team. Being understood, heard and supported go a long way to building a cohesive, capable and contributing team.

Third way to connect to clarity – Culture

Diversity and acceptance build a team culture that expands shared knowledge. Teams that live and breath this approach will produce results that factor in more components for solutions than the ‘solo’ or ‘siloed’ approaches.

Fourth way to connect to clarity – Calm

Professionalism stems from a cool, calm approach. Although this is the ideal, it is not always easy to maintain. The workplace can offer many challenges. Accessing a state of calm, when required, is invaluable for me.

Clarity – Outcome of Connecting

Clarity is a combination of applying all these connecting elements. A clear vision leads to a clear focus. For me believing in my team and myself establishes a stable foundation for achieving my goals and targets.
