Chairmen's RoundTable’s Post

🛠️ Coaching is not always the solution if your team doesn't believe in your processes and projects. Last week, I had a fascinating conversation with a leadership coach about her recent experience with a green energy startup. The company had hired her for leadership and communication coaching, and after a series of interviews, it became apparent that the team was primarily composed of financial advocates and lawyers. While they have started bringing in engineers, they still don't see themselves as a development company. They primarily make money from acquisitions, which is causing friction and frustration within the team. Through our discussion, it became clear that what this company needs isn't just leadership coaching. Here’s what they truly need: 1️⃣ Belief in Their Mission: The team needs to fully understand and believe in what they are doing and why. They should be able to share this belief with others, so they feel proud at the end of the day. Don't let your team wonder about what they are here to do. 2️⃣ Belief in Their Projects: They need to genuinely believe in the projects they undertake. Many green energy projects look good on paper but fail from the get-go. Participating in opportunity framing before the project gets sanction can make a significant difference. Don't let your team wonder if your projects will succeed. 3️⃣ Belief in Their Vision: Even as a startup, the company needs clarity on the problems they aim to solve and how they plan to do it. This clarity is essential for coherent progress. Don't let your team wonder where they are going. 4️⃣ Belief That Their Voice Matters: Team members need to be actively involved in decision-making processes. Sharing what works and what doesn’t can foster a more collaborative and productive environment. Here the coaching can help. Don't let your team wonder if their contributions are valued. When the above three points are in place the leadership coaching be truly effective. Otherwise, you might spend a lot of money without making any real difference. How do you ensure your team believes in the mission, projects, vision, and their own voice within your organization? Would love to hear your experiences. #Leadership #Coaching #Startup #GreenEnergy #TeamDevelopment #CompanyVision #EffectiveLeadership #facilitation #projects #wilsonbiz #iwona273 #opportunityframing #strategicplanning

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my journey has been witnessing the growth of others. I truly believe that success isn’t just measured by personal milestones; it’s about the impact we make on those around us. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding, mentoring, and supporting individuals and businesses to achieve their potential, and that experience has been invaluable to my own growth. Every conversation, every mentorship session, and every opportunity to share knowledge has been a two-way street. As I help others tackle their challenges, I find myself learning just as much from them. It’s this cycle of growth—built on collaboration and mutual support—that fuels my passion for what I do. If you’re an entrepreneur, a business leader, or someone navigating new challenges, I’m here to lend a hand. Let’s work together to unlock new possibilities and reach heights we couldn’t achieve alone. Because when we help others rise, we rise together. #Mentorship #GrowthJourney #HelpingOthers #BrianBrown #BusinessLeadership #EmpoweringSuccess #TogetherWeGrow

Earlier this year, HUM4NS was crowned the South West Education and Training Start-Up of the Year at the StartUp Awards, and today, we’re excited to head to Ideas Fest to find out if we’ll be recognized as the UK’s best! No matter the outcome, we’re honored to be in the running alongside some inspiring business owners and nominees. It’s always a privilege to connect with forward-thinking leaders, and we look forward to building more partnerships that drive growth and success for the businesses we support. Education and training are the cornerstone of all successful businesses, yet too often, we see organisations focus on developing skills that last moments instead of attributes that last a lifetime! We’ve also noticed varying understanding of what personal and professional development truly means. Just to clarify… Sending your employees or business leaders on a half-day course once a year won’t cut it when it comes to fostering real growth and transformation. Neither will providing a list of free online courses to complete in their own time… At HUM4NS, our approach focuses on long-term, sustainable habit change that fundamentally enhances performance, mindset, belief systems and behaviors. We’ve had an absolute ball working with businesses to develop leadership that transforms not just individuals, but entire teams and we’re excited to continue this journey with even more incredible organisations! If you or someone you know is looking to develop their leaders or employee's we'd love you to let them know about HUM4NS and how we support others to become happier, healthier, smarter and kinder in life and business 🤲 Until then... What's the most pointless course a company ever sent you to attend? What's the strangest interpretation of 'professional development' you've ever witnessed in a job? What's the longest you've gone in a role without having a formal professional development conversation with your leader/line manager? #behum4nkind #LeadershipDevelopment #StartUpAwards #IdeasFest #BusinessGrowth #LeadershipMindset #mindset #TeamDevelopment #leaders #business #coaching

Leadership and Management training skills🚀 Recently, I had the pleasure of guiding entrepreneurs on their leadership and team management skills. And you know what? They were truly on board.✈️ 🎈For the 1st edition of the #AceleraStartups program, we facilitated open spaces for conversations and support in their entrepreneurial journey, focusing inward on personal growth and relationships among them. 📍We chose to anchor our discussion within the framework of Inner Development Goals (IDGs) as we explored the pivotal role of purpose in driving our leadership forward, while also delving into the nuances of emotions and interpersonal dynamics essential for effective leadership. 🫀 This framework allows us to navigate the realm of leadership with a focus on positive impact, collaboration, and the greater good. It's all about taking tangible steps to shape our lives and build purposeful businesses that make a difference. 👨🚀 What’s next? The #entrepreneurs are gearing up to flaunt their leadership prowess! With the action plan we crafted together, they're more armed and ready than ever. Let's cheer them on as they rock it out!👏 ⭐ Grateful to collaborate on this occasion with Virginia Bailón, a partner in crime since 2 years, and ready to make new collaborations in the future.

Entrepreneurial Mindset and Entrepreneurial Skills - what’s meant by that? The topic came up again recently in one of our workshops: We need to think entrepreneurially! Colleagues should be more entrepreneurial. And then everyone nodded their heads and said: “Yes, that makes sense”. But what does that actually mean in everyday life? And how do I become an “entrepreneur”? After all, this is where three very highly chunked, undefined nouns come together: Skills, Mindset, Entrepreneur. In our organizations we first should clarify what we actually expect from each other... Let's ask our own Digital Leader Program MyGPT version: An entrepreneurial mindset describes the ability to think and act entrepreneurially. Individuals with this mindset tend to be proactive, creative and risk-taking. They see opportunities in challenges and strive for continuous improvement and innovation. Core elements of the entrepreneurial mindset: ●         Proactivity: Employees are encouraged to take initiative and work independently. This means that they do not wait for tasks to be assigned to them, but identify and implement solutions and potential for improvement themselves. ●         Creativity and innovation: A key to success in today's business world is the ability to develop new and innovative solutions. Employees should be encouraged to think creatively and share their ideas. ●         Willingness to take risks: Entrepreneurial thinking also includes the willingness to take calculated risks and view mistakes as … 👇READ MORE  https://lnkd.in/eUMKhXJs Are you a leadership beginner or have you just landed in a new leadership position?

Do you track your results each year? If you aren't, you are probably leaving money on the table. I practice everything that I coach my clients on, with my own success.  And through what we do at Newborn Evolution, I started by tripling my own 6 six figure income in a very short time period. So we know it works. Other successes that our clients (both private and organizational) have achieved through working with me, include: • Private client - helped to increase annual revenue by hundreds of thousands of dollars, by creating multiple sources of income • Small Business - increased annual revenue by 40% (bringing in an additional $400K) • International business client -  contributed to the overall growth of the company by 70% growth in net income in 4 months • We helped grow a small business 17.5% in one quarter during the pandemic With this comes also, shifts in mindsets, more confidence, shedding of “imposter syndrome” and much more. With all of this in mind, I decided to reopen my Private 1:1 Executive Coaching program for career-minded professionals and entrepreneurs. This program is designed to help clarify your vision, connect you to your authentic career purpose, and create a year-long strategy to propel your leadership forward. Together, we’ll work on building a mindset that fosters resilience, innovation, and sustainable success.  If you’re interested in learning more, you can explore the program, “Ignite your Leadership Mindset: Electrify your Career with Purpose, Vision and Proven Strategies” (link in comments) You can also see some of our achievements there (awards and certifications we’ve attained).

Grinding thoughts at the “War Room” today! In the dynamic landscape of entrepreneurship, every moment holds potential for growth or stagnation. From meticulously planning strategic initiatives to executing daily operations, every decision and action is intertwined with the ticking of the clock. Time is a precious resource that cannot be replenished. It's the difference between seizing opportunities and watching them slip away. Effective time management isn't merely about checking tasks off a list; it's about aligning priorities, optimizing workflows, and maximizing productivity. Entrepreneurs who master the art of time management gain a competitive edge. They understand the importance of allocating resources wisely, delegating tasks efficiently, and staying focused on long-term goals amidst the distractions of the day-to-day. They recognize that every minute spent frivolously is a minute lost in the pursuit of success. Moreover, effective time management cultivates a culture of accountability and discipline within an organization. When leaders prioritize time, they set an example for their team, fostering a work environment where productivity flourishes, deadlines are met, and goals are achieved. — This post was brought to you by: Jason Miller, AKA: Jason “The Bull” Miller, Founder/CEO and Senior Global Managing Partner of the Strategic Advisor Board #StrategicAdvicorBoard #businessstrategies #businesssuccess #leadership

LEARNING! For coaches, leaders, pioneers, facilitators, and those who believe independent thinking is necessary to face obscurantism, and mismanagement, and who are passionate about helping people flourish... I am delighted to run the next #ThinkingPartnership course online on 22, 23 August and 20 September (with plenty of breaks). Years ago, being in the learning seat in this same course, I...   - Experienced psychological *boldness* - Discovered what generative attention really means - Felt the joy of uninterrupted thinking - Learned to embody behaviours that generate insights and give birth to action - Understood what it meant to drop the “power-over” - Had significant breakthroughs in very little time - Connected deeply with people, to a level I hadn't experienced. (<--- and that is life-changing!) - Solved a few questions I had dragged for years in the process (Bonus!)   Importantly, I got how the practice of the Thinking Partnership fosters a culture of trust, courage, imagination and co-creation.    If.only.you.let.go.   WHY wouldn't you start such a process?   Come along if you can, we'll have a whale of a time!
