Taking time for YOU!
My clients often tell me that one of the added benefits of having coaching with me, that they hadn't considered before they started, is that their hour long session can often be the only time in a busy week that they feel able to step back and truly focus 100% on themselves. Hand on heart, how often could you say that you allow yourself to do that?

Play Catch with Communication
An associate and I facilitated a dialogue session for the Delta Chamber of Commerce on the attraction and retention of employees in the workplace. The dialogue session uncovered five areas that influence employees in the workplace. They are: • Communication • Attitude • Flexibility • Opportunity to Learn • Fun This series of five articles will focus on each of the five areas from the dialogue session. Let’s begin with communication. Communication, in particular interpersonal communication, is the foundation for creating excellent organizations and great places to work.

Give Great Sample Sessions that Grow your Business
One of the best ways to build your practice is to offer sample sessions. Most people have never worked with a coach, and a sample session can be a powerful process that introduces them to you and your coaching practice. Here are some tips that will create a meaningful and profitable session for you both.

Master Your Game: Designing an Effective Meeting Agenda
An agenda planning session should occur prior to every meeting. Just as an architect wouldn't dream of showing up at a construction site without a well-thought out design, facilitators need to create their own blueprints for each session. Meetings can be a waste of time and energy if no one is prepared and participants are forced to make decisions without adequate information. Last month, we discussed meeting management styles. This month, we discuss the effective agenda. Use The Agenda As A Strategic Tool

Whada ya rates?
Please train your people in how to make proper, well intentioned business/sales phone calls - it's not difficult. A half day session in the ‘how to' will get you started, followed by some pithy little sessions with your team on a regular basis to share what's working well, etc. I know I sound like June Dally-Watkins (famous deportment teacher) but as the saying goes ‘You never get a second chance to make a good first impression'. Good manners, grace, and courtesy go a long way.

Many organizations focus attention on conducting the strategic planning session and developing a plan, but don't allocate sufficient time to prepare for the planning retreat. Taking time to adequately prepare for a strategic planning session can help the actual event to run much more smoothly and efficiently, resulting in greater productivity. This article provides a checklist of items to consider in preparing for your next strategic planning retreat.

The Use of a Cultural Inventory in Global Leadership Training

What is your focus on? (and How it Affects Your Confidence and Faith In Yourself)
I have a confession to make. I'm going to lay it out there so that you can learn from my misperception. I recently had a 1:1 private session with my own coach. As with my own client's, my coach had me fill out my progress form before the session. I took my time with it and felt confident about clarifying my current situation and writing out my next 3 month goals.

Sales Coaching for Business Growth
Good coaching changes behaviour. But how do you generate awareness, get them to take responsibility for their actions or lack of action, and lead the person to motivate themselves and want to change? The coaching session should be a monthly session unless they require more support, and each session should have homework allocated. Once the person demonstrates they are taking action in the form of their homework, you know the coaching is effective.
