5 Ways to Boost Your Resilience at Work

Since the pace and intensity of contemporary work culture are not likely to change, it’s more important than ever to build resilience skills to effectively navigate your worklife. While working as a CEO I’ve seen over and over again that the most resilient individuals aren’t the ones that don’t fail, but rather the ones that fail, learn and thrive1 because of it.

Resilience is built by attitudes, behaviors and social supports that can be adopted and cultivated by anyone. Factors that lead to resilience include optimism and the ability to stay balanced and manage difficult emotions. To build resilience skills at work it’s important to understand and manage some of the factors that cause us to feel so stressed at work. Being hyperconnected and responsive to work anytime, anywhere, can be extremely onerous.

The current and rising levels of stress in the workplace should be cause for concern, as there is a direct and adverse relationship between negative stress, wellness and productivity. Stress that causes us to experience difficulty or unhealthy strain is a major cause for concern as it directly and adversely affects personal and business success. Here are some tips on how to develop resilience and stay motivated:

Exercise mindfulness – Turn your attention to mental training practices associated with mindfulness to improve your judgment accuracy and problem solving, job performance and cognitive flexibility.

Compartmentalize your cognitive load – Create dedicated times in the day to do specific work-related activities and not others.

Take detachment2 breaks – Step away from work for even a few minutes to reset energy and attention. Balancing work activity can promote greater energy, mental clarity, creativity and focus.

Develop mental agility – Decenter stress: step back, reflect, shift perspectives, create options and choose wisely.

Cultivate compassion – Create positive work relationships, increase cooperation and collaboration, happiness and well-being to decrease stress.

Agroflorestas se espalham pelo país: cultivo sem desmatamento

À primeira vista, pode parecer uma mata crescendo sem interferência humana, tal a quantidade de árvores. Mas, caminhando pela área, o visitante identifica a grande variedade de alimentos brotando de arbustos e das próprias árvores. Limoeiros, açaizeiros, mangueiras, pés de acerola, cajueiros, bananeiras, laranjeiras e muito mais. Nada está ali por acaso. Trata-se de uma agrofloresta, também chamada de sistema agroflorestal (SAF). Os SAFs são áreas em que espécies com propriedades bem diferentes são plantadas misturadas — não raro, em meio à vegetação nativa.

“Quando me falaram, achei que era coisa de maluco. Plantar sem desmatar a floresta? Vai semear como?” — conta a agricultora Marlene Assunção, de 52 anos, dona de uma propriedade no interior do RJ. — “Hoje eu entendo. As coisas vão estar aqui para nossos netos. É menos egoísta.”

Os SAFs vêm ganhando relevância no país como uma alternativa que alia a produção de alimentos, necessária num mundo de população crescente (seremos 8,5 bilhões de Homo sapiens em 2030, segundo estimativas da ONU) que precisa manter os recursos naturais e, assim, frear as mudanças climáticas. A técnica preconiza que a agricultura pode se beneficiar, e muito, de áreas intensamente arborizadas. .

Minority ethnic Britons face ‘shocking’ job discrimination

Haroon Siddique

A study by experts based at the Centre for Social Investigation at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, found applicants from minority ethnic backgrounds had to send 80% more applications to get a positive response from an employer than a white person of British origin.

A linked study by the same researchers, comparing their results with similar field experiments dating back to 1969, found discrimination against black Britons and those of south Asian origin – particularly Pakistanis – unchanged over almost 50 years.

The research, part of a larger cross-national project funded by the European Union and shared exclusively with the Guardian before its official launch, prompted concerns that race relations legislation had failed.

It echoes findings published as part of the Guardian’s Bias in Britain series that people from minority ethnic backgrounds face discrimination when seeking a room to rent. In a snapshot survey of online flatshare ads the Guardian found that an applicant called Muhammad was significantly less likely to receive a positive response than an applicant called David.

Prof Anthony Heath, co-author and emeritus fellow of Nuffield College, said: “The absence of any real decline in discrimination against black British and people of Pakistani background is a disturbing finding, which calls into question the effectiveness of previous policies. Ethnic inequality remains a burning injustice and there needs to be a radical rethink about how to tackle it.”

Dr Zubaida Haque, the deputy director of the race equality thinktank Runnymede, described thefindings as shocking. They demonstrated that “it’s not just covert racism or unconscious bias that we need to worry about; it’s overt and conscious racism, where applicants are getting shortlisted on the basis of their ethnicity and/or name”, she said.

“It’s clear that race relations legislation is not sufficient to hold employers to account. There are no real consequences for employers of racially discriminating in subtle ways, but for BME* applicants or employees it means higher unemployment, lower wages, poorer conditions and less security in work and life.”

Em 2017, a missão Voyager sagrou-se como a mais longeva missão ainda em operação. Quando foram lançadas as espaçonaves Voyager 1 e Voyager 2, respectivamente em 5 de setembro e 20 de agosto de 1977, tinham o objetivo de explorar os limites do sistema solar.

A Voyager 1, uma espaçonave relativamente leve, com massa aproximada de 700 kg, foi lançada no momento em que os quatro planetas gasosos do sistema Solar estavam alinhados, fato que ocorre a cada 175 anos. Esse fato foi importante para que a missão fosse bem-sucedida, uma vez que a intenção era utilizar o campo gravitacional desses planetas para “estilingar” (impulsionar) a trajetória da viagem.

Cada nave continha em seu interior um disco de 12 polegadas feito de cobre e revestido de ouro. Os discos contêm dados selecionados com o intuito de mostrar a diversidade da vida no planeta Terra. Um grupo de pesquisadores liderados pelo astrônomo Carl Sagan (1934–1996) selecionou 117 imagens, variados sons da Natureza, músicas e saudações de diferentes culturas em 54 idiomas.

Em 2017, a Voyager 1 encontrava-se a aproximadamente 21 bilhões de quilômetros de distância da Terra, cerca de 140 UA (unidades astronômicas), ou seja, 140 vezes a distância média da Terra ao Sol. Em sua trajetória, contribuiu com muitas descobertas e diversos estudos, desde vulcões ativos fora da Terra até o estudo dos raios cósmicos e dos ventos solares (partículas carregadas emitidas ao espaço oriundas de explosões solares). Junto com a Voyager 2, descobriu que o campo magnético interestelar provoca uma assimetria na bolha formada pelo vento solar (a heliosfera).

A NASA estima que as baterias de Plutônio, destinadas a manter um sistema de aproximadamente 300 watts em funcionamento, devam durar ainda mais 10 anos. Esse tempo será precioso para a coleta de mais dados transmitidos pelas espaçonaves, dados esses que são recebidos após 12 a 14 horas da emissão do sinal à recepção deste na Terra.

Em homenagem aos 40 anos da missão, a NASA divulgou diversas informações, imagens, dados e curiosidades em sua página na internet:
