The Monday Mindset
The first of Stephen R. Covey’s 7 Habits is “Be Proactive.” This is a habit of personal responsibility. The ultimate goal is to move toward the highly effective paradigm, “I am free to choose and am ultimately responsible for my happiness.” Watch this video on Carrying Your Own Weather.

Office Connection
Did you know we have about 250 employees across our family of companies? Chances are you aren’t familiar with many people outside of your immediate team.
In the employee directory on iSolved, find someone in a different location (or company!) from you. Shoot them a Teams message. Ask them a few questions about themselves. Here are some ideas:
- hat’s your favorite series or show?
- How long have you been in your position at work?
- What is your favorite thing about your job?
- Do you have any pets?
- What’s the last book you read?
Let’s connect to our coworkers. You never know what experience and wisdom they can share.

Good/Bad/On My Brain
Activity: To wrap up the month, we’re going to do a GBOMB as a team!
Each of us will share something:
- Good – The highlight of your month.
- Bad – A challenge or something that didn’t go as planned.
- On My Brain – Something that’s on your brain that you may want to talk over with your team.
This is a great way to reflect on our successes, recognize challenges, and share what’s on our minds. It’s also a fun way to connect and learn more about what’s been going on for everyone!
Let’s Share
Take a few minutes to think about your GBOMB, then let’s go around the group to share. Don’t forget to submit your wins to the Hedgehog Herald!
