Where individuals and organizations align.

Your Circle Centered Moment:

Leading around self-regulation and resilience starts with you. What are you doing to cultivate BE’ing practices into your leadership and management tool-box? How can you invite others around you and on your team to step into leadership around this? Shared leadership IS the new way. Simply asking “what would be helpful for us to pause and center before we dive into this agenda?” is a powerful contribution and will also empower others to ask for this when they need it.
 

Circle Centered Moment

Breathe deeply. Return to your body, your chest where your breath resides- where your song lives. Touch your heart with your awareness. What unique truth is singing there for you today? How will you honor this guidance and encourage others to do the same. This simple resilience practice IS leadership and the only way to share it is to practice singing your own song first.

Simple Coaching Components Improve Durability of Profession Development Training in Organizations

Recent research indicates that training alone may not create the broad-based and sustainable change and development organizations are seeking. In response to this data, many organizations are exploring options for integrating coaching in their organizations to support development of strategically targeted professionals. Doug Riddle of the Center for Creative Leadership states in the recently published Handbook of Coaching in Organizations that there are essentially 7 key elements to integrating coaching in an organization from a systems-design perspective: executive coaching, mentoring, peer coaching, HR coaching, manager-as-coach and skillful use of goal tracking and reminder systems to support the participating professionals.
How are you supporting the durability of your training efforts? Coaching components are a great way to make sure you get the most for your training buck while also creating additional leadership development opportunities for the professionals involved.
