"Scott, I thought I was an open-minded leader, but turns out I struggle to see things from another’s perspective.”    I've heard this countless times in my coaching career.   If this sounds like you, imagine this scenario:   You're in a meeting, and an enthusiastic employee presents a fresh, innovative idea.    Instead of feeling excited, you feel a knot in your stomach.    Your mind races:   What if it fails?    How risky is it?    You start building resistance, and before you know it, you're shutting down the idea.   This is resistance to change, a common hurdle many leaders face.    It's not always bad, but in today's fast-paced world, clinging to the status quo can hold you and your business back.   If you find yourself stuck in this cycle while your team is brimming with new perspectives, it's a blind spot that needs addressing.   Sound like you? You know what to do.   I’m Scott, a leadership coach, and I specialize in helping leaders like you overcome these challenges.   Together, we can transform you into a more courageous, adaptable leader ready to embrace change.    I have three spots left. If you're serious about becoming the leader your employees will love, hit me up in the DMs with "READY.” --------------------------------- I'm Scott Harrison don't forget to follow me.

Want a High-Performing Powerhouse Team? Don't make the same mistake as so many doooo!!!!! You can learn "HOW" to coach! 'YES"... there is a difference between knowing "how to" and "THINKING" you know... Here’s a surprising fact: while 83% of leaders believe they’re coaching their employees, only 24% of employees actually feel they receive effective coaching. That’s a massive disconnect, and it’s costing you in missed goals, disengagement, and underdeveloped talent. The truth is, most leaders are missing the mark because they lack the tools and mindset to coach for real impact. It’s time to bridge that gap. Did you know there is an Academy that will help you learn how to be an Action Based Leader Coach? I’m talking like a coach - who will know how to engage their team and get Action and Accountability flowing in the right direction. These coaches are equipped with the skills to lead with passion and purpose from their values. Don’t let your team be part of the 76% missing out on effective coaching.

How closely do you pay attention to your achievements? Lately, I’ve been reviewing a few things in my business - and I’ve had a pleasant surprise. It turns out, 72% of people who have taken a coaching package with me have gone on to be promoted, expanded their team or found a new job or career - within 6 months of coaching. 72%!! 💫 The other 28% have either gone on to start their own business or have found more fulfilment and greater balance in their existing role, and happily decided to stay where they are. 🙌 People I have worked with say they have improved their wellbeing, worked through imposter syndrome and burnout, and have developed a more confident leadership style. They have mastered overwhelm and become clearer, calmer leaders. Coaching is a personal experience and a lot depends on what you as the client want to achieve, but looking back and collectively reflecting on all my amazing clients have done - feels immense. ✨ When I set out as a coach, it was because I want to help other people find their way of working - to value their strengths, not the number of hours spent at a desk, and avoid burning out like I did. I want to help organisations grow leaders and teams that can thrive and flourish - because there is a better way to work, and sometimes we need help to find it. It feels amazing to look back and see that I am doing just that. 🤩 ==================== Hi, I’m Jude, a Leadership and Team coach accredited by the International Coaching Federation. If you’d like to support your leaders and teams to find a better way to work, DM me and let’s talk about how I can help. #leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamDevelopment #LeadershipCoaching #TeamCoaching #ThriveAtWork #CalmLeadership

A leader's title is like a shaman's title - you cannot self-proclaim yourself as a leader; it is a title that others give you based on your actions, behaviors, and the way you inspire and influence others. Conscious leadership is about humility, selflessness, and serving others, rather than seeking validation or power. Leadership is a lifelong journey that starts with being a good manager first. It's a process. There are many tours and detours on the journey, with failures and crisis that are such a great source of growth. In my humble experience, there are four areas worth exploring in your journeys towards conscious leadership: ⭐ It all starts with self-awareness. And that means diving in, practicing deep self-inquiry, facing your repetitive patterns, blind spots, inner demons, traumas even. That is hard, It takes time. You need to do the self-inquiry work, there is no other way around it. ⭐ Get a personal advisory board. Have a close network of 2 to 4 professionals you highly respect and trust, the key people you can consult regularly and pay for advice. They need to be outside the organization you work for. I suggest coaches, mentors, leaders, experts, artists, creatives, etc. Have an eclectic mix of people, who are related and not related to your industry, and who can provide you different perspectives and angles. ⭐ Trust the journey. You are going to make mistakes, forget about perfectionism, don't compare yourself to others. COMPARE=DESPAIR ⭐ Forget about your self and your little "i". Leading is about serving others and empowering people... Last but not least. I cannot emphasize enough that training, coaching, and mentorship are key on this journey to live and lead more consciously. #Leadership #SelfAwareness #Service #consciousleadership #leadingwithoutego #nextgenleaders Leave a comment. Let's dive in and join forces to lead that conversation about conscious leadership. What is conscious leadership for you? What are the road blocks? How are you doing it?

You need to reflect… BLAH BLAH BLAH 🙄 ??? Aren't you tired of this advice as a leader? ??? Aren’t you too busy to just mumble about the past? ??? Aren’t you already growing through the challenges you tackle? I bet you are! The best way to develop as a leader is through *** EXPERIENCE *** ❗ However, an experience only becomes an asset through reflection. Perhaps you feel reluctant to reflect, because: > you feel uncertain about how to reflect > you don’t fully understand the value of it > you don’t know exactly what you should reflect upon > it’s difficult to step off the treadmill of daily busyness There is a solution for all these obstacles: *** HIRE A COACH *** When you hire a coach: ✔ they'll guide you to learnings ✔ they’ll walk you through the process ✔ they’ll provide a clear structure for reflection ✔ you’ll learn to reflect and learn from reflection ✔ you’ll actually turn your experiences into an asset ✔ you’ll have scheduled appointments in your calendar ✔ you’ll work through different situations and relationships ✔ you’ll have a regular opportunity to step outside the whirlwind So, keep on gathering experience to develop your capabilities. And hire a coach to turn these experiences into an asset. ----------------- 📌 I’m a holistic leadership coach and I’ll help leaders become the person everyone wants to work with.

#NarrativeCoaching #LeadershipFromHeart #FromMindtoHeartStoryTelling When a quick lunch can refresh mind and open the whole new dynamic approach of leadership with my beloved mentor, idol and inspirer - Leadership Coach Mai Lam NGUYEN-CONAN And here are some lessons I have grasped quickly from her method to be a better friend, better colleague, better lead,… and eventually better human being 1. Action toward anything is the reflection of how u perceive them: the way u treat others is the way u think, define and call them as! See people with the eye of “love” then the actions follow! If a group of people does not get on well, it s not anyone the problem but need to see problem as a distinct problem to treat! —> Eliminate bias and threat 2. Story telling is the key in leadership and coaching: creat a safe zone to share and talk is a great starting point to know the issue deeply, neutrally for next steps of a right solution! 3. Limitation of yours does not defined by anyone else playbook. You have all material to reflect proactively. Lets balance between collective learning from others and ourselves’ material of life we gained! The sense of self as important and big will inspire u to go further! Hope the method of Narrative Coaching can be spread out even further, especially for anyone in management roles as “Human is the most valuable asset of all”

Are you coachable? Many of the characteristics listed under being coachable align with what a daring leader should be. Brene Brown, the author of "Dare to Lead", expresses the importance of being vulnerable and authentic. Some of the characteristics that stood out for me were: - Candid vs. Defensive - Hard Worker vs. Lacks Effort - Committed vs. Interested I have noticed the above a great deal when coaching senior-level managers. Most of them are defensive, they don't want to put in the effort to work on themselves and this "experiment" is interesting. It requires a mindset change to be open to self-change and development. I always recommend to give yourself three months of coaching and then decide if you are benefiting or not. People assume change will occur after a few sessions. After a few sessions, you will learn how to approach issues and situations differently, but your habits are still intact. Self-development requires a habit change. From my experience of coaching/training over 4,500 professionals, I can tell you, YOU CAN CHANGE! It's possible! I witnessed it and it was the most amazing experience. Some of the people that I have coached and helped progress went from: - Senior Counsel to Partner and from Partner to an Equity Partner 💪 - Senior Financial Research Analyst to VP of Financial Research 🤓 #coaching #coachingskills #leadershipcoaching #daringleadership #softskills #interpersonalskills #leadership #managingpeople #vulnerability #authenticity #hardwork #habitchange #transformation #changemanagement #growthmindest #emotionalintelligence

🌟 My Coaching Isn’t for Everyone. 🌟 I don’t follow a cookie-cutter approach, and I don’t offer quick fixes. I don’t do online courses. My clients are here for deep transformation—both professionally and personally. True transformation isn’t easy. It demands a willingness to embrace discomfort and sit with it. 🌟 I’ve Sat in Your Chair. 🌟 I’m not an exiting founder or former consultant turned coach who professes to have all the answers. As a former C-suite and senior executive, I know firsthand the pressure that comes with leadership. Worrying about the numbers, managing people, reporting to the board—it’s nerve-wracking. And often, it can feel isolating, like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to do it alone. My coaching provides a unique perspective because I’ve been there. I understand the challenges of leadership in today’s volatile workplace, and I’m here to guide you through them. I create a coaching experience for leaders who are ready to go deep, transform themselves, and break out of the mold. *************************************** I’m Ron Garfield. I coach leaders and my coaching is not for everyone. Our work disrupts your status quo, encourages and provokes discomfort and evokes transformation. My own personal discomfort and transformation led me out of over 30 years of executive leadership roles to where I am now. I help leaders and their organizations transform and change through a willingness to embrace discomfort. #leadership #coaching #transformation #positiveintelligence #mentalfitness #predictiveindex #coactive #team #highperformingteams

Coaches Over Heroes: The Power of Empowerment in Leadership Too often in leadership, we feel the urge to jump in and save the day. But sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is step back, guide, and give others the tools to solve their own challenges. This weekend, I was reminded of this during a soccer game when a player had an anxiety attack. After assessing and understanding the situation, I asked if she’d prefer me to just sit with her or if she wanted help. She chose help, so we walked to the sideline, where I guided her through some grounding and breathing exercises. In the second half, she went back into the game, even scored a goal. After the match, she gave me a high five, and her parents thanked me. This experience highlights an important leadership lesson: being a coach over a hero. In moments of distress, it's easy to jump in and try to fix everything. But true leadership isn’t about rushing in to save the day—it's about giving people the tools to regain control and move forward. By allowing her to choose, I gave her the power to decide how she wanted to handle the situation, restoring her confidence in the process. Leadership is often about supporting others in a way that empowers them, not solving problems for them. It’s about guiding and helping people develop resilience, so when they face challenges, they know they can handle it—and in the end, that’s how real growth and success happen. #leadership

What sets the best leaders apart? They ask their team the right questions. Effective coaching develops future leaders and enhances team performance. Many leaders think they doing it when they are actually bossing or telling. Rather, coaching involves guiding people in the right direction without giving them the answers. The result is a supportive, motivated, and accountable culture. 📚 Michael Bungay Stanier’s “The Coaching Habit” revolves around 7 powerful questions to help coach your team. They are: 1) "What's on your mind?" 2) "And what else?" 3) "What's the real challenge here for you?" 4) "What do you want?" 5) "How can I help?" 6) "If you're saying yes to this, what are you saying no to?" 7) "What was most useful for you?" Use these questions to unlock your team's potential and guide them in the right direction. (I highly recommend “The Coaching Habit”. It's one of my personal favorites.) In all: The point is not to become a coach. It's to become a coach-like human. Don't rush to give advice. Stay curious. Great leaders don’t manage people. They develop other leaders. === 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺?
