Elevate Your Leadership with Space Crafting

By |September 2nd, 2023|Categories: Uncategorized|

What does "leadership space" mean, and why should you care? Well, in my three decades as a leader and 20+ years as an executive coach, I’ve seen that we’re always in a leadership space relative to others. How you show up in that space affects how your members collaborate, innovate, and thrive. So you should be aware of three distinct dimensions of this space – taking, holding, and shaping. [...]

Do you have an update to share with your boss or a committee. How about an idea to run by a colleague or peer. And are you hoping that your updates and ideas land better and stick better? Well, I’ve seen these conversations break down and plunge deep into the pit of confusion. And I’ve seen conscious leaders successfully climb atop the hill of compelling attention. The pit of confusion [...]

How to say “I’m Sorry”

By |May 31st, 2021|Categories: Uncategorized|

I, like you, judge myself by my intent. Period. But you, like everyone else, you judge me by my impact. So even when I’m well intended, I can be hurtful or upsetting. It’s just inevitable that I’m gonna upset someone, you’ll upset someone, we all upset someone. And because we’re prone to upset and offend someone we’re in relationship with, we’ve collectively invented THE APOLOGY – "I’m sorry!" Since [...]

Culture Never Sleeps

We’ll never have to wonder if one leader can affect culture. Just six days after inauguration, the culture of the White House is different. This is a leadership perspective; I’m not baiting any political debate. Culture change is visible. And you too, the leader in your space, are affecting the culture around you, whether or not you’re paying attention to it. And I’m encouraging you to pay attention. Culture never [...]

Fear is Normal! So is Courage!

By |April 7th, 2020|Categories: Uncategorized|

FEAR is an appropriate response right now. Fear is our reaction to threat, and we are threatened in ways we can’t control. Fear sharpens the senses, cuts noise away from signal, and provides a boost of energy for action. Unless you’re sedated, feeling fear is normal. And feel it you must. I’ll come back to that. Panic, over worrying, deep anxiety, incessant fretting, though, is unnecessary. Panic is a selfish impulse [...]

Deliberate Practice and the Power of Elearning

What is deliberate practice? Do you recall learning to ride a bike? At first, you wobbled and fell and wanted to quit.

I first learned to ride with training wheels attached to the rear wheel, and as my confidence and competence grew, the wheels came off. Fortunately, my dad believed [...]

We’re hardly shocked anymore when we discover that a star baseball player DID take steroids. We’re disappointed, but not shocked.

While executive and leadership coaching share many features with the coaching that managers provide for their employees, there is at least one critical difference.
