Temporary State or True Transformation

February 20, 2023

Transformation Defined

According to one dicitionary definition, transformation means a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance.
Transformation can come about for example, through deliberate means or through more forced means as a result of stagnation.
When it comes to leadership transformation, you can find a plethera of articles stating best practices and processes for transformation. However, in the end, here’s what I discovered:

There is less than expected return on investment.
The change is typically not sustainable.
The transformational experience is challenging.
There is no real measurable change.

For over 25 years, I’ve been working in the transformational arena and have finally found the missing link required for true and sustainable transformation.

New Year Evolution or Resolution?

January 4, 2023

Whether you’re making new year resolutions or goals, I believe the more important consideration is how are YOU becoming new in the process?

Consider this last year.

How did YOU become NEW in 2022? How are you planning on becoming NEW this year?

This complex world in which we find ourselves is rapidly becoming new. New as evolving into something very different than we’ve ever known. So new in fact, that many are finding it difficult to handle the intensifying daily complexities . Burnout, overhwhelm, and frustration are more the norm. It is often that we become new in the face of trauma. And this trauma, is often designed to evolve us because prior to that we weren’t budging.

Whether it’s loosing a job, or a partner or how about your home? In the face of these traumas, how do you continue to not just carry on but carry on and thrive?
What tools do you have? What are you accessing from within yourself to know which tools will even provide the best outcomes?

What Baseline Are You Leading From?

September 1, 2022

Did you know that according to Arbinger Institute, the brain defaults to focusing on what’s wrong 80% of the time?

This default results in a great deal of energy focused toward what we don’t want on the part of leaders and their teams. In turn, your baseline for leadership can quickly become frustration.

Here are some of the costs to an organization as a result:

Low productivity impacting project timelines.
The need to continually redo work leading to burnout and a sense of defeatism.
Higher turnover and sick days.

Because many people are unaware of this important distinction, frustration is more the baseline in leadership and in life rather than empowerment.

What needs to change?

When we begin to understand the evolution of our brain, we find that this default is a result of our often over developed survivor brain and the untapped technology of our newer brain, sometimes referred to as our ‘executive brain’.

And know this, our newer brain is literally our ticket to more organically achieving our dreams and aspirations with less force, stress and frustration.

And just like any breakthrough information, having the wisdom and experience of a coach or teacher to initially lead the way is vital because when we don’t, the brain defaults to focusing on what’s wrong and in that we experience more of what we don’t want.

Are you a Leader or a Boss?

January 31, 2022

Moving from power over to power with.

If you consider yourself a conscious & courageous leader, then you likely know this time is calling us to weigh in on the often insidious and unconscious behavior that I refer to as “leadership bypassing”.

Leadership bypassing is a tendency to use leadership programs, terms, or concepts in order to avoid any real change for self, teams and beyond.

Below are 9 leadership bypassing behaviors that I have identified in my coaching practice and certainly have been guilty of myself in the past.

I invite you to review and consider them. Then, courageously acknowledge them and take committed action.

You can also choose to bypass them, justify them or deny them. Doing some of these, some of the time, provides great opportunity to choose to do none of these, all of the time.
