Leadership Coaching: Always “On”. There are rising concerns regarding our flexible working culture leading to the ‘always on’. This brings the expectation that employees should always be available… this behaviour in turn leading to burnout. If you are a leader then this will not be unfamiliar to you. If you are a good leader you […]
Leadership Coaching: Procrastination arises in many forms. One form of procrastination is “busyness”. Have you ever noticed just how easy it is to tackle small jobs … only to discover that you have completely ignored ( skimmed over, gone into denial about, put off …!), the big thing that’s staring you in the face? The […]
Leadership coaching: What Next? What if you know you are a leader but you don’t know where to put yourself next? You’ve led projects. you’ve lead teams. You’ve led change. You’ve enabled stuff to happen out in the world & you’ve seen the results … What next? What’s your next challenge? Its time to find out […]
Leadership Coaching: Firsts. There is a Jungian belief that we have all we will ever need around us. And, that we can only access when we are ready. If you are new to a leadership role then you might be asking questions about your suitability for this role? What makes us ready to access all these […]
Leadership Coaching: Risk. What stops us taking risks? It’s our brain. Is this always useful? No! Yes, it keeps us safe, but it also arrests our development. I have clients that have brains that enable them to decide to do one thing late at night and by the next morning, they have managed to rationalise themselves right […]
Leadership Coaching: Responsible Workaholic. Does this phrase resonate at all with you? If I told you I was writing this on a Bank Holiday, you’d know it resonates with me too…This personality type comes from Karlah’s Process Model. It’s really useful to know your personality type as it can enable you to make some informed […]
Leadership Coaching: Redundancy. Once you have been in a leadership role, in my (not so), humble opinion, there is no point playing small in your applications or interviews. People will totally feel your power whether you voice it or not. Most of our communication is non-verbal. A good percentage is not even gestural. That means […]
Leadership Coaching: DIY: If you don’t like how others are doing it then maybe it’s time to lead things yourself? I’m not advocating walking up and pushing your CEO aside. I’m not sure how well that would really go down in reality. What I am noticing is that if you consistently see better, more effective […]
Leadership Coaching: Perspective. Take a step back. Honestly, it’s so easy to be right at the coal face, doing the fire-fighting and immersed in the everydayness of a team or project, it’s very easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. Time to step away. Get off-site, get away from any kind of work for […]
Leadership Coaching: Heart-filled work. I was re-reminded of the importance of ‘heart-filled work in leadership and business by a client today. In he strode, a Glaswegian, a five and a half foot tall. A multi-disciplinary thinker, with barrels of energy. Not only did he bring a personality and a half, but also a heart that has […]
