Coaching Helps Fight Fatigue

Many leaders continue to struggle with the thought of having coaching or even conversations virtually. The challenge is we must change our mindset their coaching is not something that is geographic quite frankly coaching virtually at times can have tremendous advantages. Virtual work is NOT the cause of fatigue, rather how we handle working virtually is our opportunity to fight fatigue.

Magnetic Coaching: Part One

Magnetic Coaching: Part One   When you think about the effects of a magnet, it really has two effects. It either pulls things in or it repels them or pushes them away. Aren't people the same way? Think about a person that you met, that you were introduced to by a friend. Didn't you have an immediate impression of like, or dislike of that person? Now let us add some further context with a little bit of humor. Would it not be funny if somebody said, “so what did you think of my friend, Bob? ...

The Game of Coaching: Part Two

The game of coaching has changed. For so many years our major objection when collaborating with clients was organizations and their leaders saying they do not have time to coach. Here's The funny thing about that notion is coaching has really gravitated from it would be nice to do to now, we must do it. The caveat is that the game has changed.   Let us take a basketball game. If a team is down by twenty points and they are playing a zone defense a good coach would adjust and then go to a m...

Coaching is a Game ... The Playing Field & Players Have Changed! Have You?

When we think about sports and we think about playing fields and players and leaders of teams couple things come to mind. If a coach were to go into a huddle during a game and look up at the scoreboard and say everybody we are down by 20 points but let's just keep doing the same thing what would the players think? Would they even wanna continue to play? Would they maybe even wanna switch teams? So think about the pandemic and how much our playing field has changed. We now have different play...

WOW ... Today's Employee Has Changed ... How Leadership Coaching Can Help

Today's employee has dramatically changed and we as leadership coaches must change with those changes. People are quitting without having their next job as well as people are quitting jobs for more money not thinking about long term decisions that are affected by such decisions. The pandemic has caused people to look at themselves and their careers dramatically differently. I would say a few years ago if we had a friend who was quitting a job without their next job in place, we would say the...

There Is NO Buy-In To Coaching !!! That Notion is Crap!

I still hear from leaders this notion of buy in when it comes to coaching. Let me be very straightforward and candid- that's a load of BS! Let's look at this logically. If a manager does not have time to coach how the heck do they create more time when they need to interview and review resumes when someone leaves their organization? Coaching is a form of communication and leaders will typically communicate with their employees daily if not hourly so why not leverage something powerfully such...

What A Winter Blizzard Taught Me About People

Yesterday I drove in the middle of the winter Blizzard coming back from up north Wisconsin. Needless to say the weather was terrible and there were white out conditions and if you have never driven in such weather it can be extremely dangerous. One of the most interesting things that I noticed was a long single line behind me and in front of me. The left lane was open but not plowed so I thought it was very interesting that everybody conformed to the single line. I thought to myself the only...
