From Chaos to Calm 🌊
Everyday conversations often make the biggest difference. Leadership Coach, @wishfishcoach tells us what conversations can help managers foster calm and focus in busy times within their teams. You don’t need to fix everything; creating space and listening with curiosity allows others to think and feel valued.
Here are some ways you can check in with your team to make sure they feel supported:
1. Checking In: How Are You Arriving?
Use these questions to open conversations gently and humanly.
• “How are you arriving today — what’s got most of your headspace right now?”
• “On a scale of calm to stretched, where are you today?”
• “What would help today feel a little lighter?”
2. Reducing Overwhelm & Noise
Help your team member narrow focus and reduce pressure.
• “What feels most noisy or distracting for you at the moment?”
• “What’s the one thing that would make the biggest difference this week?”
• “What can safely wait, pause or be simplified right now?”
3. Creating Support & Clarity
Shift from assumption to understanding.
• “What support would be most useful from me right now?”
• “Where do you feel clear — and where do you feel stuck?”
• “What do you need more of… or less of?”
4. Grounding & Energy
Reconnect people with what helps them work well.
• “When you’re at your best here, what’s usually in place?”
• “What helps you reset when things feel full-on?”
• “What’s one thing you can do this week to protect your energy?”
5. Closing with Calm & Confidence
End conversations with reassurance and momentum.
• “What’s one small win we should notice before we finish?”
• “What would ‘good enough’ look like for now?”
• “What would help you leave this conversation feeling clearer or calmer?”

At PPL PRS we ensure businesses who use commercial music are correctly licensed through TheMusicLicence. Folk/Punk band, @skinnylister is one of the thousands of artists that receive their royalties every year as a result of businesses having TheMusicLicence.
The licence fees we collect go back to @ppl_uk and @prsformusic who then distribute royalties to the music creators they represent, like Skinny Lister. To businesses that have purchased TheMusicLicence, they said:
"When venues, shops, cafés and other businesses have TheMusicLicence, it means the music they’re playing is actually supporting the people who create it."
*Data supplied by PPL and PRS for Music, representative of annual reports and statements for 2024. PPL figures cover public performance and dubbing royalties. PRS for Music figures cover public performance royalties.
