https://lnkd.in/gVWAyj82 "I often will share the advice that my aunt always gave me as a child, you never give feedback on something that somebody can't change in five seconds. So it's this idea that when you look at leadership and look at feedback models—there are countless models; my partner and I counted over 23 different models for how to give feedback. At the core of it, what's important is that you give somebody advice or feedback or feed forward what they can do better in the future. People can't change the past. So as soon as you start questioning or telling somebody how they could do something better in the past, that kind triggers the defensiveness. So how can you say, 'Going forward, let's look at doing this even better by doing this'? And one great model is: 'What worked well... even better if...'"

Infuse empathy, intuition, and authenticity into your leadership style! Great important decisions are being made on stage by leaders everywhere, but are leaders connecting to their heart and their humanity before they embark on those important discussions? Gerardo Segat shares the transformative power of connecting people back to their humanity. https://lnkd.in/ghExd5NP #Intuition #Leader #BusinessOwner #Podcast #Humanity #Authenticity

How often does intuition drive your decisions? I see it as the voice of our own inner human being. We all are gifted with it to help us navigate complexity, uncertainty. Some times when we are walking a path that does not belong to us. We hear that voice and we take action. We rarely come back to notice its features. Louder? Recurring? Triggering factor? Scenario? Leading to? Behind them lies an opportunity for meaningful improvement, for clarity, when our own inner human being does not need to speak-up at us. I recently had a chat about that with Mission Facilitators International for their The Business of Intuition podcast. The link is in their shared post. Enjoy! #leadership #outashumans

Feedback! Oh we dread it or do we? We asked some of our colleagues at Affinity Space about their take on feedback. Here is what they said... - “I’ve learned that feedback should be timely. Giving it soon after an event makes it relevant and actionable. Waiting too long can dilute the message.” - “For me, it’s all about balance. I always try to mix positive feedback with constructive criticism. It helps people feel valued while still encouraging growth.” - “Being specific is key! Instead of saying ‘good job,’ I’ll point out exactly what was done well. It helps reinforce those behaviours for the future.” At Affinity Space, we value open communication and so do our clients. Here are some interesting resources to start applying it today! 🔸 A Model -> SBI Feedback model by The Center for Creative Leadership 🔸 A Podcast - > The Art of Giving Feedback, HBR On Leadership 🔸 A Book -> Thanks for the Feedback by Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen.

What does it mean to be an authentic leader?    Are there ways of being that are authentic? Or is it just an excuse for some pretty bad behaviour under the guise of "that's just me, I say it like I see it?"   That’s what I’m exploring in today’s episode.    It’s a new season of the Advanced Executive Leadership Podcast. And I’m excited with what we’ve in store for you over the coming weeks and months. We’re back to a rolling fortnightly cadence, so if you haven’t done so already, please hit subscribe so we’ll be in your podcast feed. #authenticity #leadership #executive

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in leadership, it’s that emotional intelligence changes everything. Hitting targets or managing tasks are important, but connecting with people on a deeper level is much more. When you understand your own emotions and take the time to empathize with your team, something powerful happens. You create a space where people feel safe, valued, and heard. And that’s when they start showing up as their best selves. I’ve seen it firsthand, teams that feel supported in this way are more engaged, more innovative, and, ultimately, more successful. I talk about that on this podcast, When Intuition Becomes Clarity. In the episode, I share my thoughts on how emotional intelligence impacts leadership and transforms entire organizations. I’d love for you to check it out and see how these ideas can apply to your own leadership journey. Let me know what resonates with you after listening. It’s a topic close to my heart, and I believe it’s the key to leading with authenticity and purpose. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/d33rAaN3 #OutAsHumans #EmotionalIntelligence #Authentic #Leadership

Now on podcast ! Leadership and the Value of Appreciation Leaders inspire. Leaders motivate. Quite possibly the simplest and most powerful way to achieve both of these is the appreciation shown genuinely to individuals and the team by the leader. Research continues to show that 98% of people so they perform at their best when they’re given encouragement. Encouragement is appreciation. It might be a simple “Thank you”. A manager will say “but he was just doing his job. “ A leader will say “I just overheard what you said to the customer. You did that really well. Another happy customer.” And because leadership is everyone’s business, colleagues and co-workers can have the same effect when they show appreciation. Showing genuine appreciation doesn’t require a brass band and a fanfare. It can be a simple as “Well done “. It can be a short handwritten note. When individuals and teams are given genuine and meaningful appreciation, they WANT to perform better. Quite simply - because the appreciation they received touched their heart. Parents who show appreciation to their children will positively impact on the behavior of the child. Research has shown consistently that people who are in a committed relationship who show appreciation to their partner with a simple “thank you” have a stronger relationship than those who assume that appreciation is not needed. As a leader, no, you are not too important to show appreciation to those you are leading at whatever level they are at. Leaders do it often and with meaning. Leaders are genuine in their appreciation. Those who hear this appreciation know it comes from the heart - and it touches theirs. 98% of people can’t all be wrong.
