The Most Effective Method for Executive Coaching
| |
| The most effective method for executive coaching is appreciative coaching. Appreciative coaching is asset-based. It builds on the existing strengths of the individual creating a bold use of natural strengths which will produce a highly desirable future. It values the best of what is, looks at what might be, and aligns values, structures, and processes toward accomplishing the possibilities. |

HOW TO BECOME A GREAT LEADER AND COACH
| |
| Coaching by a leader may appear to be time consuming, but look at it as a smart investment. One of the beauties of coaching and cultivating high quality talent is that it creates the momentum required to take your organization from good to great because it plays off and exploits the natural and learned talents, strengths, and competencies of everyone involved. |

Business Coaching for Effective Leadship
| |
| While leadership is easy to explain, it’s not so easy to practice.
Leadership is about behaviour first, skills second.
Good leaders are followed chiefly because people trust and respect them. Leadership differs to management, which relies more on planning, organisational and communications skills. |

Leadership and Communication by Ology Coaching
| |
| Organisation structures have changed in the last few decades and I believe this has had a detrimental effect on the way organisations are managed and lead. A few decades ago organisations had many levels of management in their structures and people progressed through the ranks in incremental steps of authority learning management skills along the way. People learned to be managers by attending training courses and by observing and copying the behaviour of other managers in the structure. A percentage of these other managers would be displaying the behaviours and attitudes of leadership and so leadership could be observed and learnt. |

Selection and Leadership Development for Emotionally Intelligent Leaders
| |
| The ability to select, motivate, develop, engage and retain top people is critical to a company's success. If you want to build a company where people love to work you have to know how to hire and keep great people. Unfortunately, a poor hire can cost a company a great deal of money and cause undue distress and wasted time for everyone involved. Great companies and managers start with optimistic, change-resilient, and committed people whose values fit the workplace culture. Keeping great people involves creating a healthy work environment where people can use all their knowledge, creativity, and skills. Self-managed organizations create work environments where people can continuously learn and make decisions. |

Leadership Coaching to Discover Your Talents and Strengths: Strategies for Leadership Development
| |
| Most of us have a poor sense of our talents and strengths. Throughout our education and careers, there is a lot of attention paid to our weaknesses. We are acutely aware of our faults and deficits, our "opportunities for development," or whatever euphemism is popular for naming them. |
|
|
How to Get the Most Out of Executive Coaching
| |
| When used for the right reasons and with competent practitioners, executive coaching can provide significant and lasting benefits for both individuals and organizations. But like other innovations, coaching can become just another business fad. When not effective, it can cause harm to individuals and organizations and waste large amounts of money. |

Coaching Leaders to Change - Leadership Development to Optimize Potential
| |
| How do you convince leaders to change? How can you optimize their talents and potential? Which best practices in executive coaching programs produce lasting results that drive business performance?
Executive coaching offers a tremendous opportunity to leverage leadership talent and resources, both of which can steer an organization toward sustainable success. |

What Are You Waiting For?
| |
| It's hard to tell someone to go. I wish it did not matter, but it is. If you have a decent performance evaluation system, it can be less difficult. If you do not have one, you do some extra work for yourself and employees may justify their decision. But the work must be done. Our economy will continue to be weak for the near term. You want to strengthen your team and always as efficient as possible to be. The team should be on making the right decisions about the best that way. |

More lessons from MasterChef – Can you take the heat?
| |
| As the saying goes, “If you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen”. Once again MasterChef has served up some great life lessons. Last year I wrote about the great leadership, coaching and mentoring we can learn from MasterChef. Again Garry, George, Matt and the other guest chefs showed us how to excel in this area of leadership.
On this occasion, I want to comment on ‘Resilience’ and dealing with setbacks and challenges, and how MasterChef gave us a window into how people handle stress and demanding situations. The time pressures and increasingly difficult tasks set for the contestants showed us how well they were able to manage themselves under pressure and produce the goods. You could often see the demands of a given situation getting to a number of the contestants. It was unrelenting at times. |

Does Spirituality enhance the work environment?
| |
| Is there a place for spirituality in the work environment? And above all what exactly do we mean by spirituality? I have always felt a bit self-conscious about using the word myself and after researching those questions I would now define spirituality as being an expression of life enhancing values that are anchored somewhere in all human beings.
What is spirituality for you? Does it find expression in the way you work? |

Becoming a Trusted Advisor - How to Build Trust
| |
| Enlightened leaders today hire leadership consultants and executive coaches to help with their leadership development. However, increasingly a number of my clients now prefer me to help them in the role of trusted advisor rather than expert consultant.
This special partnership based on mutual respect and collaboration produces more sustainable results. The role of trusted advisor is open, transparent and fiercely client-centered. |

"If I'm a Self-Starter, Why Aren't You?" Those High in Initiative May Be Challenged as Coaches

| Self-starters rarely understand those who are not self-starters, and most individuals are not self-starters. This disconnect creates a barrier to understanding motivation and coaching effectiveness. Validated studies consistenly prove a reverse correlation between high initiative and versatile audience adaptation. With focus on principles herein, the bridge to transformation can be constructed and reinforced. |

You Have the Right to...Have Male Friends!

| Right #9
You Have the Right to...Have Male Friends!
For some of you this statement could be controversial so let me clarify. When you live your life with integrity - i.e., you have good personal ethics and you have developed a reputation of trust - then having male friends will not be seen as a threat to your existing relationship with your man.
Having friends of the opposite sex is important in many ways. In my seminars, when I talk on the topics of Leadership, Coaching, Team Building, Parenting, and Communication, I recognize the fact that men and women do all those things equally, but differently.
I take care that every seminar contains what men need to hear and what women need to hear...and they're different!
When I walk into a big networking event at a conference or a chamber of commerce, I see women talking and sitting |

How to Generate Personal Energy - Find a Faulty Story
| |
| To generate the energy you need to fulfill your greatest desires and goals, you must identify your faulty stories-the erroneous old chestnuts that you tell yourself over and over again. We rarely examine them or question their usefulness. We simply go about our workdays and lives, telling ourselves these familiar tales to convince ourselves that we're OK. |

Consistency results in success
| |
| Do you understand the success and results you can achieve by being consistent?
Understand that the sales rep who consistently makes one hour of cold calls on the phone, day in and day out will get some business. It is a fact of life. Even through most people give up, or worst, they think they are making cold calls by doing them when they feel like it. The rep who does it consistently will have success. Even if the rep has a terrible list, is not that good on the phone, does not know that much about the product/service. The fact of being consistent, will create success. |

Get on the right track with executive onboarding
| |
| Most organizations offer some level of orientation for new leaders. But without a well-defined plan for integrating the new leader, the risk of poor performance and failure is high. Executive onboarding has grown out of traditional orientation to provide a more comprehensive and systematic plan for helping executives transition into their new role. Onboarding reinforces conventional orientation and training programs with highly focused one-to-one leadership coaching, targeted skills development, and timely objective feedback. The goal is twofold: first, ensure that new executives find their footing quickly and avoid costly missteps; second, help them build effective alliances with their direct reports to ensure continuity and cooperation in achieving organizational goals. |

Selection Considerations for Leadership Development/Coaching
| |
| My research and that of others has found that leadership development and succession planning is by nature a long-term effort and it is far from being a risk-free activity. Additionally, like most things of importance, there’s more to it than meets the eye. Too often organizations jump into leadership development and succession programs without giving thought to key issues and the criteria to be used. |

Organizational Cultural Values to Consider
| |
| Every organization has a culture, the way things get done, how people react and how people are treated. Most organizations do not spend time truly creating a desired culture, but rather, leave its creation to chance. Oh there may be statements on the wall that were created at a one day off-site meeting, but sadly they remain just that...statements. This article provides insight into "values" which can be used to begin the process of truly creating the culture which will best serve your organization. |

Are you Reactive or Pro-active
| |
| Are you making things happen or are you watching things happen?
Are you taking control of your life or are you watching it go right by you?
These are the questions that we have to ask ourselves, this day and everyday.
I hope you all know what a pinball machine is.
I know it is old school but I still see them around in most arcades.
In a pinball machine you have a little silver ball that gets shot up into the machine.
It then gets bounced from one bumper to the next, it gets pushed.
Then it gets flipped from one side to the other, it goes crazy.
Just reacting to all that is happening to it.
And then finally just falling down into the hole, only to start the process all over again.
How about you?
Do you feel like that pinball?
Are you reactive or proactive? |

2. Are you holding back making decisions because you might be wrong?

How Leadership Training can make you a Better Business Manager
| |
| Leadership training is an activity that most companies and their executives constantly wait for. Who will turn down some executive coaching that could help entrepreneurs and executives handle their employees well, which in turn will help employees lift their abilities to the fullest and possibly yield a five-to-one return on investment (for every one dollar you spend in coaching, you get five dollars worth of output because of the increased employee motivation)? No matter how well an organization proceeds, there will always be issues that it will inevitably face and which can test executive morale and there will always be some problems between management and the employees which may take root from the personalities of the executives themselves. |
