It’s an inside job.. As a member of the TEDx Omaha leadership team and serving as stage host, I have the honor of working with and inviting speakers to the “stage” to deliver their “idea worth spreading”. As a keynote speaker myself, I get the same honor of inviting the audience to discover their unique ingredients to WIN with themselves, WIN with others and WIN at the work they do. It’s all an inside job, we ask TEDx speakers to search within themselves to pull out the best part of the idea they want to share. I ask audiences of leaders to search within themselves to to build their self awareness, ignite their true talents and nurture relationships. This post is an invitation to you to consider how you can find WINs in your world. Share how you are winning within. Follow for weekly WIN insights.

How would you handle this situation? 🤔 As women of color executives in higher education, we often find ourselves navigating complex team dynamics without a manual to guide us. Conflict management is critical, especially when communication breaks down, or resources are limited. Imagine this scenario: Your team is working on a major grant proposal with a tight deadline. Two key members, Dr. Johnson and Professor Smith, are struggling with repeated misunderstandings due to poor communication. Dr. Johnson feels Professor Smith isn’t providing enough detail in her progress updates on the proposal; she feels left in the dark. Professor Smith thinks Dr. Johnson is micromanaging her and not trusting her academic expertise. The tension is starting to affect the entire team’s morale and productivity. So the question is, how would you handle this situation to ensure effective communication and maintain team morale? 👇🏾 Share your strategies and experiences in the comments! Let’s learn from each other and build a toolkit for navigating these challenges together. #EducationalLeadership #HigherEducationLeadership #FemaleLeadership #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipSkills

Looking forward to ICF San Diego Chapter's event today with the author of How to Work With Almost Anyone, 📚 Michael Bungay Stanier! Relationships are a vital part of EVERY aspect of our lives: social, familial, cultural, organizational, corporational... the list goes on. It's inevitable that your relationships will affect your outcomes - so why do we so readily leave it up to fate to maintain the invisible between us? We have to pay attention to the invisible space within ourselves, and between self and others - this space determines whether magic or tragic happens! I am excited to learn something new and dive deeper into WHY this falls wayside for so many and HOW we can practice better habits that prioritize the wellbeing of relationships. #keeplearning #growthmindset Let me know if you're a fellow ICF member and planning to attend! #EmployeeWellbeing #EmployeeEngagement #ICFSanDiego #InternationalCoachingFederation #ExecutiveCoach #OrganizationalTransformation #OrganizationalCulture #LeadershipDevelopment #RelationshipManagement #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #EQ #Communication #ExecutiveCoaching

When a project stalls, keeping your team motivated requires a mix of clear communication, empathy, and strategic pivoting. Recognize and celebrate small wins or progress, however minor, to maintain morale. It's important to have strategies ready for when those projects go south. #projectmanager #projectmanagement #agile #scrum

What's in your leadership Library? Not your kindle or your nook or on your podcast line up. What printed books are in your possession that help you with leadership? Tomorrow I start leading an annual LeaderShip Cohort for terrific ongoing client partner Oregon Resource Association. In fact, this is the 5th annual Cohort ~ and here are 6 observational thoughts. 1. When you focus on the people in the room, not those who aren't, everyone has a better experience. The size of audience has little to do with possible action and impact. Those present at the present 🎁 and deserve full focus. 2. Experimenting with format variables is highly likely and helpful - i.e. number of sessions, format, length, space. We started with 3 sessions, then 3 again, then 4, then 6 - and this year it's 5. Partially to celebrate the 5th year of the series. The registered students will tell you what's working vocally and behaviorally. 3. Be willing to add a group and perhaps a 2nd session. We added a 2nd cohort group [max 30 per group] the very first year due to enthusiastic response! Same day, 2 different times, everybody in. That may have also boosted further registration. 4. Have a focused area of growth and be sure to build sessions ecosystemically. A theme is another way of stating this: what's the purpose of the gathering for growth? Having a theme jump starts the connection within the group, since the purpose is aligned from the start. Ours is LeaderShip, and this year I've chosen 5 books to utilize for the 5 classes. 5. Enjoy the organic nature of adjustment as you progress. In every class there are revelations! Respond to those and use them to enhance the future classes. Reference them so that people know they're being heard and their contribution is fuel for the group. If you teach online and in person series, what lessons and observations have you found lightbulby? Please share them below. Stoked for the new series (with some returnees) to begin tomorrow! And there's still time to register if you wish to join us - the link is in the comments below. Connection & LeaderShip. Industry agnostic, fun, interactive, online, good humans. Huge thanks to ORA's Training Coordinator, pro Kimberly Mintrone 🙏🏼 #connection #leadership #professionaldevelopment

Having a protocol for decision making is critical to the health of your company. Clearly articulate who is making the final decision and how it will be made. Autonomous – The leader makes the decision independently but may seek information and consult with others beforehand. Consultative – The leader includes others in the decision-making process, but retains the authority to make the final decision. Joint – The decision is made by consensus. Delegative – The decision is delegated to an individual or group. https://lnkd.in/grBGT9A5 #StephaniesCoaching #LeadershipCoaching #LeadershipSkills

Absolutely loved discussing the future of work on "The Next 100 Days" podcast: "If you're a smart person with talent and skills, you don't have to sit in the same seat for 40 hours a week, make your TPS reports and go on with your life. You can actually apply that expertise to 2, 3, 4, 5 different companies serving as a fractional sales executive, helping to raise their revenue, build out their sales teams, identify where there might be holes in the funnel or friction in the sales process to oftentimes save time for the founder and the CEO." The future of work is evolving, and opportunities for talented professionals to make a broader impact are expanding. Embrace flexibility, diversify your experience, and drive growth across multiple organizations. Your skills are valuable, and there's a world of possibilities beyond the traditional 9-5. #FutureOfWork #FractionalExecutive #SalesLeadership #CareerGrowth #RemoteWork #BusinessStrategy #TheNext100Days #PodcastGuest

One of the content areas I found most intriguing during my coach supervision certification program a few years ago was #TransactionalAnalysis and PAC - (the Parent - Adult - Child) relationship triad. This fascinating concept continues to support my work, as evidenced by a recent conversation I had with a leader I was coaching and he stated "I feel like I am running a day care". As author Jennifer Jordan highlights, "if you’re worried that your organization might be caught in a parent-child dynamic, consider these six major indicators: 1. An unwillingness to be vulnerable at the top ~ leaders rarely disclose their own failures and hard-won lessons, and a culture develops where mistakes are swept under the rug 2. A lack of trust from the top down ~ a perception of lack of competence and needing to be told what to do and how to do it 3. An unwillingness to appropriately empower individuals ~ power stays at the top, and those people below don’t get the appropriate and necessary chances for development 4. An unwillingness to try something new, for fear of disappointing leaders or incurring punishment ~ can't they tell the parent how to run the household 5. The need to cover up mistakes ~ people feel little psychological safety to share mistakes, both standard and exceptional 6. An unwillingness to pull the plug ~ Leaders pile initiative on top of initiative, without a willingness to let any one of them go or to identify or communicate strategic priorities" #PAC #leadership #cultureleadership #selfawareness #micromanager #empowerment #conflict #teamdynamics https://lnkd.in/gG-hAtda
