Leading with Heart 🧡- The Power of Genuine Connection. Let me share something I’ve learned during the 30 years of my career - the heart of any successful business lies in its people. The key to unlocking their potential is genuine connection.🔗 It’s easy to get caught up in targets, deadlines, and the day-to-day grind. I’ve been there - so focused on the work that I missed the simple but powerful act of connecting with my team. Although, when I started taking the time to check in, to ask “How are you really doing?” and to show I valued them beyond their output, everything shifted. Morale improved, trust grew, and the team felt more engaged and committed. It’s not rocket science, but it is intentional. Here’s the thing - when employees feel seen and supported, they give their best. That’s when businesses thrive.🚀 If you’re serious about growth, connection isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential. It’s the foundation for trust, communication, and a culture where people can excel.⭐️ So, my advice is to start small. A simple conversation, a genuine thank-you, or even just listening can make all the difference. Leaders who connect create teams that thrive 🙌 and that’s where real success begins.📈 How do you stay connected with your team❓ Let’s share ideas 👇🏼and build a genuine connection within our teams. Remember, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care." Have an amazing day!😊 #Businessleaders #Managers #Womeninleadership #Ceos #Founders #Humanresources #Modernleadership #Empathy #Positiveleaders

The Pygmalion Effect on Business Have you ever considered how expectations can shape outcomes in the business world? Enter the Pygmalion Effect, a fascinating phenomenon where elevated expectations lead to improved performance. This psychological concept holds immense potential for businesses striving for excellence. In a corporate setting, the Pygmalion Effect manifests when leaders demonstrate unwavering belief in their team members' capabilities. By setting the bar high and providing the necessary support and resources, leaders can propel their teams to surpass expectations and achieve remarkable results. Picture a workplace where every individual is encouraged to reach their full potential, where challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth, and where success is not just a goal but a collective mindset. This is the essence of the Pygmalion Effect in action, shaping a culture of empowerment, positivity, and continuous improvement. By leveraging the principles of the Pygmalion Effect, organizations can cultivate a dynamic environment where motivation thrives, creativity flourishes, and productivity soars. It's about fostering a sense of belonging, instilling confidence, and inspiring greatness in every team member. As leaders, embracing the Pygmalion Effect is not just about raising the bar; it's about creating a ripple effect of success that permeates throughout the entire organization. It's about nurturing a culture where aspirations are met with unwavering support, where challenges are viewed as stepping stones to achievement, and where each individual is empowered to shine. So, as you embark on your business journey, remember the profound impact of the Pygmalion Effect. Set high expectations, foster a culture of belief and support, and watch as your team rises to exceed even the loftiest of goals. #PygmalionEffect #BusinessTransformation #SuccessMindset #PygmalionEffect #BusinessExcellence #LeadershipImpact #HighExpectations #TeamEmpowerment #SuccessMindset #CorporateCulture #PerformanceBoost #BelieveInYourTeam #BusinessTransformation

Leadership feels more manageable when you don't feel depleted and tied to tactics and requests with no end in sight! Centering as a leader requires: ⭐Experiencing moments that BUILD energy; ⭐Gaining perspective on what all the tactics add up to; ⭐Challenging ways of thinking to realize you have more (and OTHER!) alternatives than you thought; ⭐Being supported with insights that are not just your own. It's not the technical parts of leadership you are missing. In fact, these are the things that you've got; sometimes not everyone gets to see these parts of you though!!! The inhibitors?!⬇️ 🌊It's the experiences that you don't encounter on a given week. 🌊It's the prompts that your on-the-move brain doesn't have time to explore. 🌊It's the lack of generative idea sharing to further engage your mind + heart. 🌊It's the absence of pure time; a pause button; a chance to catch up to your thinking! I got a call to support a 75-person session called a "reset" for leaders internally in a company today. #howironic ! They need all of what I have shared here (and some). I want you to be bold and ask for this for you, too. Women, CLAIM YOUR SPOT. 1-day to be in the driver seat of your own life + career - with no one else to tend to and no one to perform for. A true RESET so you can do what you do best, FULL SEND. 10 more days till RESET ticket price goes up! #retreat #leadership #womeninleadership #oneday

One of the unique abilities of the human person is their ability... ⤵️ ✨ ** To dream ** ✨ The capacity to imagine something in the future and endeavor to bring it life. 😬 Unfortunately, most people abandon this powerful capability as they embrace their role as a “responsible adult.” This abandonment of personal dreams profoundly impacts how people show up in life and at work. When a person is less engaged in their life, they are typically less engaged in the workplace, too. It’s a lose-lose proposition. 😎 Fortunately, today’s people-first leaders don’t need to settle for type of reality. Regardless of the business you’re in, you should also be in a secondary business – the dream business. Why? → The people who are most engaged in the workplace believe their personal future will be greater than their past. →Their dreams hold the key to getting there. →Their dreams are a compass to becoming their best version. Today's world requires a new type of leadership. Ready to be in the dream business? It's the ultimate WIN - WIN. And I can help you! Onward ✌️ P.S. Try it for yourself via a FREE 21-Day Dream Challenge. We start April 1st... see my profile or the comments below for an enrollment link. #thedreammanager #dreammanager #employeeexperience #ex #employeeengagement ——— I’m on a mission to help 100,000 people DREAM ✨ again, more, or bigger. Business leaders inspired by 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧 book & concepts look to me as their go-to partner in launching a program for their people.

What is the ultimate answer for effective, successful and impactful business? Awareness. Can you imagine what is possible when leaders and teams are empowered to be more aware of who they really are? This is something I am deeply passionate about and sit with daily. - Improved collaboration - More effective decision making - Less conflict and politics - Increased wellbeing - Improve balance - Greater job satisfaction - Higher team morale - Shared vision and accountability What does it require? A genuine care and focus towards helping individuals in organisations expand their consciousness, overcome their limiting beliefs and discover their true nature. You cannot fear the future when you know who you are. You cannot judge or aim to over-power others when you know who you are. You cannot make decisions from greed and pride when you know who you are. You cannot want anything less then the best for team members when you know who you are. At times it may sound like a mighty task, but it is happening and conscious leaders are shaping completely new ways of doing business in the world. If this all sounds strange, but something deeper is sparking interest, I encourage you to reach out. Awakening to our true nature is a revolution in busines and life. #consciousleadership #business #success #team #transformation #peace #wellbeing #impact #theheartofbusiness

I believe… In the Power of Beliefs. The foundation of our actions is rooted in the beliefs we hold. These core beliefs shape our decisions, influence our strategies, and ultimately drive our behavior and results. Beliefs act as the compass that guides our behavior, setting the direction for our business. They transform vision into action, and aspirations into achievements. As leaders, it’s vital to regularly reflect on and reassess our beliefs. For example, when we believe in: Innovation, we prioritize research, development, and creativity. 🧭 Diversity, we actively foster an inclusive workplace culture and recruit diverse talent. 🧭 Teamwork, we cultivate a culture of collaboration and support. 🧭 Community engagement, we support philanthropy, volunteering programs, and partnerships with local organizations. 🧭 Employee development, we invest in ongoing training and prioritize continuous learning. 🧭 Customer-centricity, we continuously strive to exceed expectations and deliver value. 🧭 Transparency, we foster open communication and ethical practices 💡 What core beliefs are driving your business today? Do they empower your teams? Are they driving your organization toward success? Is it possible your beliefs are limiting? Please share your insights 💭. #Leadership
