Moodometer Poster
Referenced in Chapter 2
Mood is contagious — especially yours.
This visual tool helps you and your team recognise when you’re
in the Green, Amber or Red Zone and take appropriate action. Print it. Put it on the wall. Use it in meetings. Start conversations that matter.
You’re invited to manage mood — not just time.
Resource Card
Self-Care Scorecard & Weekly Planner
Referenced in Chapter 6
This allows you to rate yourself on 5 factors for Vitality, Intimacy, and Prosperity, and will provide some insight on what may be your mood vampires.
The weekly planner is designed to be filled in on Sunday to ensure you have a balanced week ahead. Remember, when you decide ‘when and where’ you are going to do these activities, it increases the probability it will happen by 300%
CREW CARE TOOLS
Crew Care Scorecard and Action Planner
Referenced in Chapter 10
This allows you to rate yourself on 5 factors across three pillars, caring about belonging, psychological safety and growing together, and will show you which pillar is quietly limiting your team’s trust and performance. The five-step action loop is designed to be worked through with your team, not alone, turning your lowest score into a shared 30-day plan. Remember, closing the loop by reviewing progress together is what actually builds trust over time.
Psychological Safety
Referenced in Chapter 9
While self-care builds individual resilience, crew care focuses on the health of the team.
Many workplace stresses don’t come from the work itself but from how teams communicate, collaborate and support one another. When leaders actively shape a culture of trust, psychological safety and open communication, teams become more resilient, engaged and productive.
These resources are designed to help you strengthen team dynamics, identify potential stressors early and create an environment where people feel safe to speak up and support one another.
RED ZONE CARE TOOLS
When a colleague is struggling, leaders often want to help but are unsure what to do. These resources provide practical guidance to support someone experiencing mental health challenges.
Resource Card
ICARE Poster
Referenced in Chapter 11
This poster of the ICARE framework provides a simple and practical way to identify and support someone who is struggling.
Resource Card
Mental Health Savvy GP
Referenced in Chapter 11
