The Third Space®

How to improve work life balance and be more agile in your behaviour by leveraging the transitional space in your day.

We spend our day rapidly moving between different environments and interactions. All too often we take the mood and mindset of the previous interaction into the next one. We might have a frustrating meeting and it affects how we behave in the next one, or we go through a crisis, and it derails our day, or we take a bad day home with us. Clearly, this has a negative impact on our performance.

Dr Adam will explore a three-step process to effectively transition between the different interactions, tasks and contexts that make up our lives, in a way where we leave the previous interaction behind and bring the right mindset to what we are transitioning into, so we can perform at our best.

We will also talk about how we transition from work to home in a way where we can disconnect from the day and be at our best for our home life.

Research Outcomes

In a number of organisations the content presented for this topic has led to:

• 43% improvement in the mood in the home, practicing The Third Space® on the commute between work and home

• 91% increase in Boundary strength (the ability to not let the previous interaction have a negative impact on the next interaction)
