As a “Simple Noter” you will often have read my work pointed at shifting life and work emphasis. This week I have been in dialogue with clients on potential culture and performance changing projects that are demanding more and more from them. How do you ensure you can maintain or increase acceleration? Fear not - youre not alone!
The potential of your leadership power exists whether you work alone or managing a team of hundreds. The world’s most successful leaders and the leaders for whom you may have worked and experienced the strongest urge to follow, will be followers of something greater than them. What is you passion? What do you and your leadership stand for?
One of the greatest skills I have been taught during my coach learning and observed in people I have met who have immense impact is their ability to practice ‘Responding’ in place of ‘Reacting’.
Your reaction habits may be deeply ingrained and habitual. Read more to find out how you can respond better rather than react.
I always spend significant time at the close of an event leading delegates on their commitments. Those who have attended events with me will recognise the mantra - nothing changes until something changes! In my coaching too I do what I can to encourage and support clients in forming, validating, enlivening and following through on commitments.
But commitments are curious things that are often left unresolved however, your impact, your growth, the positive change that you deeply desire is contingent on the quality of the commitments you form and successfully follow through.
Your best-self shows up without annoyance. Your ability to tap into your intuition, your well of creativity, your propensity to grow, enhance your impact and move in the direction of your desires and goals occurs smoothly and rapidly in the absence of annoyance.
Learn how you can awaken yourself to your triggers and make a change?
Has your organisation become addicted to meetings? Could now be the time for you and your colleagues to look again at your meeting culture and make the change? Nothing changes until something changes!
What is your relationship to impossible?
Are you unconsciously accepting your current situation, restricting and deleting thoughts of what could be? Have you created a habit of ending aspirational thinking as soon as it reaches what you judge to be impossible? What aspects of hope and desire have you not visited for a while? Now might be time to visit them again.
What are you immediately driven to think, say or do? Over time you will have become used to your way of thinking, your instinctive responses have developed. I often notice that we can exercise choice more purposefully and more often. We are either evolving or repeating. Your choice-muscle could be rejuvenated by exercise and strengthening.
