I'm just preparing our new module on Deepening Partnership - which has brought me back to two wonderful podcast episodes that make me do deeper thinking about listening and partnership. From what they say - and how they say it: Thank you Kathryn Mannix and Oscar Trimboli for deepening my learning https://lnkd.in/eY2V3dry https://lnkd.in/gKmygqtJ #thehumanbehindthecoach #simplifyingcoaching

Dear #CEO, Some #CEOs put their gifted and most powerful ideas in a can; cover the can with a lid and sit on the can. Why? Because they are unsure if the idea will fly. Yet, they know if ever there was innovation, they are sitting on it. Ideas are Thoughts. That hidden, invisible, unseen realm is where my expertise is. It is the place the many do not go, many meaning 99.9% of leaders while the ones who go there are so few - 0.1% or less. Listen up, dear #CEO, the standards required of leaders like you are not found on the surface; they are not common and mostly unseen. If you must lead you cannot see so-called competitors; you cannot lower the QUALITY of work by hiding it behind "quantity." Anyone can create quantity. Only the Exceptional, the Fearless, the ones with Audacity - the cheek to step up, step out and ACT - they are the ones who change the world - no, scratch that ... they are the ONES who TRANSFORM the world, one person, one organisation, one company at a time. Look, if you are doing what everyone else is doing, you are LEAVING GOLD on the ground of your mind, going only as deep as zinc, cobalt, and other precious stones EXCEPT the most precious of them - GOLD. In addition, realise a GOLDMIND is not in the few but in those who dare to THINK at SUPREME levels. Dear #CEO, you can. The economy of nations is transformed by the ones who MINE FOR THE GOLD ON THEIR MINDS. If you are committed to: + putting your cards on the table with me + telling me what you want to achieve + the timeline for achievement + willing to have a conversation about it + happy to obtain strategies to achieve your goals from me for free Then... please CLICK the link below and fill out the application form for a free consultation, although this is not guaranteed as certain criteria need to be met, like... + you have clients already + you are able to acquire clients and still do + your revenue is $5M-$10M per annum + and more You will receive a call within 48 hours of receiving your application. PS: It is the invisible and intangible that create the visible and the tangible. I would love to partner with you to make this your reality in short order. Why I am doing this? Because I hope you will hire me ONLY IF you are satisfied with my work. Otherwise, you can have the information I share and use to your hearts content.

Last week I was invited to attend a webinar hosted by Maureen Ideozu, aka Belbin Nigeria. What a fantastic 60 minutes discussing how Belbin can be used to help teams work better. We also heard from a Belbin Accredited practitioner who had been using Belbin with his clients. He used the quote: "Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships." -Michael Jordan And, as a true Resource Investigator, I will be using it in the future! If anyone has any other quotes they use when talking about the importance of collaboration, teamwork and performance, please share!

In today's changing world, leadership isn't just about guiding others; it's about nurturing yourself too. Regenerative leadership is an approach that focuses on both the outer elements of the organisation (such as healthy growth, resilience, products and services, innovation and sustainability), and the inner growth of the leader/ team-member. One great benefit of regenerative leadership is that the leader’s wellbeing is front and centre (and seen as vital to the health of the whole). Therefore, caring for your own needs is not seen as selfish, but as part of the reciprocal flow of health and life. Here are a few ways that shifting to regenerative leadership benefits you and your organisation: 1. Enhanced Resilience: This means not only bouncing back from setbacks but also growing stronger through challenges, fostering a mindset that creatively responds to change. 2. Sustainable Energy: Traditional leadership can often lead to burnout. Regenerative leadership emphasises balance, ensuring leaders maintain their energy levels and avoid exhaustion. This approach promotes long-term vitality and momentum. 3. Deeper Connection: Regenerative leadership encourages a deeper connection with oneself, others, and the Biosphere (Living Earth). This holistic view enhances emotional intelligence, empathy, and the ability to build meaningful relationships. 4. Innovative Thinking: By integrating regenerative practices, we tap into different ways of creative and innovative thinking. This mindset fosters creativity and the ability to see opportunities where others see obstacles, driving healthy growth, and ‘composting’ what needs to be let go. 5. Personal Fulfilment: At its core, regenerative leadership aligns personal values with professional actions. This alignment leads to a profound sense of purpose and fulfilment, making leadership not just a role but a deeply rewarding journey, where you become a ‘whole’ person rather than simply the part that shows up for work. 6. Positive Ripple Effect: Leaders who practice regenerative leadership inspire and empower their teams, creating a positive ripple effect. This not only enhances team performance but also contributes to a thriving organisational culture. 7. A Leadership of Authenticity and Caring: Moving away from the need to compartmentalise caring for the earth and for other people, to a way of doing business that values a healthy Earth and healthy People as a vital part of future success. If you’re hearing about regenerative leadership for the first time you’re bound to have some questions, so myself and JK (Jennie-Kate) McQuinn offering a FREE workshop and webinar: Tuesday 11 June 2024 6pm – 7.30pm WORKSHOP Wednesday 12 June 12.30pm – 2.00pm WEBINAR You can find out more and reserve your place here: https://lnkd.in/ef9dHS_c #RegenerativeLeadership #leadership #SustainableLeadership #Resilience #Innovation #LeadershipDevelopment #HolisticLeadership #Sustainability

CHANGE FOR BETTER OR WORSE For some participants, attending the Leading Through Change (LTC) programme can be very challenging – they just cannot abide change in any form. Maybe it’s because it signifies coming out of their comfort zone and whatever it is, it’s going to be bad – and bad experiences of change can linger a lifetime. Coping with change affects us all to some degree and we may find ourselves using words like, ‘unnecessary’ or ‘too expensive’ to signify our lack of enthusiasm. But, as leaders of teams, we are the ones who have responsibility for achieving change and in many cases probably initiating it in the first place. So, how do we get the team on our side when major changes are about to be introduced? The principles are really quite straightforward – it’s the way we do it that counts! Understand the needs fully yourself –then brief the team, including the ’what it is‘ and ‘why it is’ of the strategic decision and the ‘benefits’ for everyone. Now, the important bit, discuss how ‘we’ are going to achieve it and the tactics needed to create a plan. This is the chance to talk through any concerns but firmly and with direction. Finally, work through the changes and encourage the team to accept that change is a regular part of every working day. Handling these types of everyday situations are crucially important parts of good leadership and leading a team through change is certainly a key event. P.S. The most stoney faced participant who attended the LTC begrudgingly, hardly said a word in day one but her team encouraged her throughout and at the end she tearfully said “I really enjoyed that”. Miracles do take a little longer!

Believe……. At the #SyncTheCityNorwich keynote 2023, I delved into a powerful theme: belief. It’s not just about believing in yourself; it’s about embodying your vision, your story, and inspiring others to believe in you too. Belief is the secret ingredient that drives innovation, creates exceptional products, and fuels personal growth. So, I ask you: - Do you believe in yourself? - Do you stand behind your words? - Are you confident in your journey? - Do you truly believe in your product or service? #Belief #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Storytelling #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #Inspiration #Startups AskStephen

The latest edition of the Business Barometer report highlighted that many organisations do not have the strategic planning and training in place to address skills gaps.

KINGDOM COACHING Kingdom Coaching is the most recent niche within Javelin Success and something I’ve been thinking of for a while. It’s a particular type of coaching and mentoring programme aimed at supporting and encouraging Christians in the workplace. The coaching process is intentionally designed to affect people at the heart and mind level, but which actually makes a difference to the way we live and do life and work. Effective coaching is about actively listening and asking good questions. Jesus was the Master Questioner. And He often answered questions with a question. If Jesus had only told people what to do, they would just be getting more teaching. But by asking specific and appropriate questions, He allowed them to discover the answers they needed. In coaching others I don’t tell people what to do, but the questions and the space and time given in the sessions to reflect on the important matters of the heart, helps the individual to process and work out how they can live out their faith in practice. Biblical mentoring can also be a part of the programme. This is more directive and supportive when the individual needs more guidance in their Biblical knowledge or where the person wants to implement that knowledge in a practical way. If you would like to know more about Kingdom Coaching, feel free to contact me at [email protected] or complete this form https://lnkd.in/eUAM4Dge

What do you need to consider when onboarding a new VA? 🎯 Firstly, clarity on your business vision and mission is key. Just like a pilot needs to know their destination, you must have a clear understanding of where your business is headed. This guides your actions, priorities, and decisions, making the journey smoother for both you and your ideal clients. 💼 Secondly, ensure your VA understands your business culture inside and out. From personality to branding, conveying your business's vibe ensures seamless integration and alignment with your vision. ⏰ Lastly, invest time upfront in building a strong foundation with your VA. Spending at least an hour a day initially fosters understanding, trust, and alignment—ultimately leading to fruitful collaboration and shared success. 🌟 Remember, supporting your VA's personal and professional growth is not just fulfilling—it's the essence of leadership. 💫❤️ Got questions? Drop them below! or book a chat here: https://lnkd.in/grbRPfUP Wishing you all a day filled with love and joy. 💕 #VirtualAssistant #BusinessGrowth #outsourcing #hireava #virtualassistantservices #businesscoachesau #virtualassistantaustralia
