I love the Doing Well cards!
I find the tactile nature of the cards really engaging. It's a powerful tool that helps the team support each other.

Integrating cards into our Emergency Operations Centre
I like that they are physical cards, I can take them and step away from a computer. Looking through the Doing Well cards I could see helpful tools and solutions that resonated with me and my team.

Short and to the point
They’re short and to the point - just what’s needed when there’s so much going on and you don’t have energy or time in your life.

Really important
One leader was notorious with his team for working Sundays and being at it extremely early on a Monday morning, so his team would start the week with a heap of emails from him sent at all hours. After the masterclass he had the realization that this wasn’t sustainable or helpful to role model for his team and part of the plan he made in the session was to reclaim his Sundays and start at a reasonable time on Monday mornings. The following Monday he arrived at work to an email from his team asking, “Are you still alive?” They’d noticed a change. And so he was able to share some of what he learned. It’s really important for our managers to be able to sustain their leadership, especially with peak season coming, and for them to be able to role model this to their people – really important.

Really useful
So, one of my leaders who looks after a small site wasn’t at all keen initially. But the turn round came a week later when one of his staff came and said to him, you need to speak to “A” because he is looking a bit down. So, the leader got “A” into the office and had a talk with him. After listening for a while, the leader got the ‘Doing Well’ cards out and started thumbing through them. They used the cards to develop a plan. The leader later said to me, I’ve had to eat humble pie, what I learnt I’ve been able to put to really good use for “A” and others in my team.

Using them for myself and my family.
I really enjoyed the training and have been using the Doing Well cards for both myself and my family. This was especially useful for my son who was getting into a bit of a bad head space with his work. We focused on bringing back the important stuff, what makes you smile, what can I get lost in, what makes me feel alive, what have I let go of lately that I enjoy. This is one of the cards that really resonated for me as well, so I am working on freeing up more time on the weekend to do the thing that I enjoy, driving my V8’s, walking along the beach etc.” Another card I am working on is “When eating focus on it.” It’s become a real bad habit, especially when travelling, to be reading emails, yammer posts etc when eating a meal. It’s going to take a bit of work to kick this habit but one I’m going after. I also enjoyed the Leading in Disaster Recovery: A Companion through the Chaos - I shared it with my team before the decision was made to complete the workshops.
