Equipping Your People for Success
Success in business is all about equipping your team to achieve excellence in their work.

Developing Outstanding Employees
If your workplace environment is 'just a job' then you need to change the environment. If there is no change in environment there will definitely be no change in behaviour!

Execution - The Power of Getting Things Done.
The biggest frustration in life is - all talk and no action. We are all goal setting machines and like to know we are making progress. Maximum progress is directly proportional little to no frustration
Good to be Great
It seems like the market has shifted in a positive direction people in business have energy about moving forward. The media have also maintained their consistent 'doom and gloom' outlook, but now it relates to concerns about increasing interest rates! So it must be a good time to grow! Having said that there are a number of lessons to be learnt from recent times in what works and causes sustainability - and what will likely not last.
Inspiring Generation Y
A different approach will get a much better result!
Building Character - Move up when the pressure is on
Whilst it seems that the current financial situation was in some ways inevitable, it has created a fervour among the press somewhat like seagulls around a discarded packet of chips on the beach! We've heard the term 'bad news sells' and have proven the point repeatedly over the last few months. The challenge this creates within organisations is that it causes 'politics' and infighting because of uncertainty. Peoples' performance will suffer and decisions become clouded by personal needs rather than benefiting organisational goals and direction.

Laser Like Focus
Teams that are aligned are happy and perform at a consistently higher level
Leaders Build TRUST
The primary role of a leader is to build an extraordinary team. And extraordinary teams sre built upon a high level of trust.

Leadership in Business and Personal Growth
With leadership in business and n life comes accountability and the need for integrity. Leadership is more a way of life than a title. With accepting the resonsibility of leadership comes the positive impact [ot otherwise] that your decisions will have upon your people
Maintianing Good Organisational Health
6 years on and the business of coaching is a constant learning curve. There is an endless supply of variables which makes what we do always interesting, challenging and never dull.

Managing and Maintaining Performance
The art of building and maintaining teams and managing and maintaining performance is exactly that - an art! For some it is impossible, others a mystery, and yet for some it is second nature!

Managing Change
Managing Change is all about organisational development. Change itself is simple - people adapting to change can be complex and frought with frustration.

Permission to Succeed
Our people know how to 'maintain' but are often never taught to win. Create maximum performance by creating an environment whereby high performance is the standard
Purpose is the Starting Point of Success
Establish you purpose - Individuals, businesses and organisations with a clear sense of purpose experience significant growth and success
Succession and Leaving a Legacy
Succession is always a challenge in business - it needs to become a planned process of continuity. It's a bit like carrying a serviceable spare tyre in your car. You never planed to have a flat tyre but you did plan to get there regardless!

The Art of Relationships within Organisations
Building relatinships with the [right] people in organisations is vital to success. Leadership and friendship do indeed go hand in hand.

The Art of Strategic Thinking
When it comes to thinking, planning, and acting strategically, few companies actually succeed! Having said that these companies can still run well, maintain, grow, and be present in the marketplace. But these companies will never be great! They will never be extraordinary places to work, nor will they be outstanding companies to do business with.
The Power of Influence
There are numbers of signs in the market right now that for many indicate that 2010 will be much improved on 2009! What this means is that the 'headlights' of new opportunities will be back on again and it is business as usual.

The Power of Prioritising
As we reflect back on 2009, it was a year of change and uncertainty. Many organisations could be compared to a sporting team under pressure. When the market is going their way then everything is working and confidence is high. However when the pressure is on the weaknesses become very apparent and the cracks starts to appear.

What Running a Business is all about
What does it take to get a business actually working for you? The management of more than just a business is the management of time and what happens in that time. It is also simply a matter of changing beliefs.

Six Conversations for Team Success - What To Talk About
Having intelligent and productive conversations helps teams and individuals recognise their strengths and weaknesses, knowns and unknowns, facts and assumptions.  A structure or agenda for the conversations helps keep discussions focussed and purposeful. The really important conversations, those that are vital to survival and sustained success are about the outside world - where the customers, suppliers, investors, stakeholders, sponsors, partners and supporters live.

Master Your Game: High Performance Teams Self-Assessment
Last month, I talked about the difference between groups and teams. (See September newsletter.) I also discussed the many benefits of teams. For another important reason for improving your teams, look no further than the bottom line. When a team does not perform its task, the opportunity costs are great. Poor team results, missed deadlines, members not committed to the outcome, stress and frustration, unproductive hours - these are some consequences of poor-performing teams. How much are these worth to you? The good news is, with professional coaching, it is possible to convert your groups into teams. Furthermore, you can boost your team's level of performance from good to great. High performance teams mean mutual commitment that leads to innovative outcomes and measurable positive results.

Improving Business Performance by Creating High Performance Teams
As a manager, executive or business owner your top priority today is exceeding company goals. You can't do it yourself, so the best way to exceed your goals is to have what we call "High Performance Teams" working for you.
4 Common Denominators of High Performing Teams
There are four common denominators of high performing teams. When these elements are present, teams are almost guaranteed to be efficient and rewarding for the members. The elements are: Common goals, Trust, Good Leadership, and a Good Charter. If your team has these four elements, chances are you are enjoying the benefits of working on a high performance team.

Tips to Improve Team Culture
The culture of a team governs its effectiveness. Most teams have a culture that allows adequate performance despite many unfortunate outbreaks of tension and sometimes childish behavior. It is unfortunate that more teams do not experience the exhilaration of working in a supportive culture that produces excellent results. The methods of building teams into high performing units are well documented, but most teams do not go through the rigor required to get to that level. This paper blends well known processes with horse sense born of experience that will allow any team to perform better.

Creating Emotionally Intelligent Teams
Teams are the most common business unit for high performance. Although the word gets used loosely and not always appropriately, there is universal acceptance that teams create opportunities for high performance results. A team's performance includes both individual results and collective work products, yielding sums greater than its parts. True teamwork promotes individual and collective performance. Effective teams value listening and communicating, sharing work responsibilities, provide support and can make work more social and enjoyable. Members are supportive of one another and recognize the interests and achievements of each other. When they are working the way they should, they are incredibly effective in achieving high performance results.
Hello, Is Anybody Out There? Facilitating High Impact Virtual Meetings
OnPoint’s global research study on virtual collaboration identified the factors that differentiate high performing virtual teams, or a success profile of “what good looks like”. One important differentiator was effective virtual meeting management, such that top performing teams have high-quality virtual meetings (v-meetings) and lower performing teams struggle with this.
Matching Team Types and Focus
Managers' growing understanding of the power of a team-based organization has created an explosion of teams. We're now seeing a profusion of high-involvement teams, high-performance teams, corrective action teams, service and quality improvement teams, project teams, task forces, steering councils, process management and improvement teams, problem solving teams, cross-functional teams, departmental teams, work teams, regional or branch teams, self-directed and self-managed teams, semi-autonomous teams...to name just a few.

Coaching Training Part 3: The 3 Elements of Sales Coaching
To perform at the highest level, a sales manager cannot merely be great manager who drives processes, but never captures the hearts of employees. Likewise, even the best leaders who can effectively collaborate with those on their teams, but never pushes them into the high growth mode of complexity, will not be able to maximize results. It is only when sales coaches are able to effectively manage processes, lead collaboratively, and coach their teams into complexity that they will truly be able to enter the high performance zone.
