Career growth

Whether you want to boost your career within the organisation you are working or grow at your own business, you can use this session to enable this.
Writing about the “best possible selves” is the possibility of integrating life experiences, identifying the meaningful ones, and gaining a sense of control. Outcomes are that, compared to writing about other topics, the act of thinking and describing oneself as best as possible increases positive mood and decreases distress, even five months later.
— Lyubomirsky & Layous, 2013 and Ruini & Mortara, 2022. 
Writing about our “deepest thoughts and feelings” without paying too much attention to issues of form and grammar, significantly decreases the number of health centre visits and self-reported health problems in a group of workshop participants. 
— Hanauer (2022)
Participants in a expressive writing group reported significantly higher levels of increased self-understanding (self-awareness) value, and long-term positive effects of the writing exercise than participants in a control group who did not complete expressive writing exercises.
— Niles et.al., 2014.

Mona Momtazian

Hi there. I specialise in providing advisory to senior leaders and people practitioners on complex organisational change and transformation. I also design and develop learning experiences that support leaders to effectively lead change and build change resilience and endurance. I love to create environments that enable people to thrive, not just survive during times of uncertainty and ambiguity.

I have qualifications in human resource management, post graduate psychology, change management and coaching. I've got over twenty years of experience in the field of organisational development and am currently working on a Digital Transformation program and building employee digital literacy.

I've practiced mindfulness, yoga and journalling for years and believe in the power and science of reflection and other tools that support our critical thinking, self-awareness, management of stress and the ability to optimise our wellbeing and performance.
