HOW TO COPE WITH UNCERTAINTY?
"Uncertainty is the worst of all torments." (Alexandre Dumas)
Defined as "the state or condition in which something is not known with precision", uncertainty is part of our lives. Yet its harmful effects on the human psyche were demonstrated in a 2020 study*. Uncertainty :
- activates the action inhibition system to conserve resources and energy.
- impacte les fonctions exécutives et les processus cognitifs de haut niveau,
- increases anxiety and decreases optimism.
The greater the uncertainty, the more difficult it will be for each individual to self-regulate. Creating psychological safety means enabling everyone to feel better armed in the face of uncertainty: understood, heard, respected, supported and reassured.
In this context, 4 levers can be activated at the individual level:
- invest in your positive psychological capital,
- focus your attention on the present moment,
- communicating and sharing ideas,
- adopt a growth and learning mindset.

THINKING "OUT OF THE BOX
"Of all the schools of patience and lucidity, creation is the most effective." (Albert Camus)
Artists are all too familiar with the encounter with the blank page and the acceptance of a creative process that is neither linear nor predictable. To create is to seek, to grope, to advance, to return, to give birth to the obvious, and then to construct its realization.
Facing a new paradox or challenge?
Accept to enter into a creative process.
Search through with no clear plan, give yourself permission to imagine, to make mistakes, to try again.
Think "out of the box" and push the limits!
