by Suzie Doscher, Executive Coach and Life Coach for Personal Development, Self-Help Author

How can companies best support their employees during these difficult and challenging covid related times?.
Working from home has added some extra issues to deal with.
​
Individuals benefit from support dealing with:
  • Time Management
  • Focus
  • Motivation
  • Communication style
  • Creating ways to take time out for self-care such as eating well, exercising, short walks to get some fresh air, rest and recreation etc.
  • and more...
  • Personal development allows you to 'grow into your skin' and become the best version of yourself so you can handle difficult moments with greater ease.
  • Personal Development and Coaching are essential for success in the workplace as well in your private life.
  • With a healthy set of soft skills, life becomes easier and more balanced.
  • You are not alone, we work as a team.
  • Imagine being in an environment you know is confidential, discreet, trusted and safe. 
  • You will be able to voice your thoughts and find solutions for problems that are realistic.

4 Really Small Things That Say a Lot about You

2/1/2021

Hint: It’s not what you say.

by Leah Njoki

Ever been asked to say a few things about yourself? Perhaps you said you’re a good communicator, attentive to details, or a team player. The point being, we all define ourselves in a certain way.

Here’s the paradox, though; It’s not what you say that is an accurate representation of who you are, but rather what you show yourself to be. That’s how people judge you. They respond to the image you project. As such, it’s critical to focus on what you do rather than what you say.

If you want to sell yourself to the world in an authentic way, focus on these four really small things because they say a lot about you. This way, you’re guaranteed to make a lasting impression and command respect from people.

Reimagining Organizational Culture in a Remote Workplace

28/10/2020

 
Picture
When employees are celebrated, appreciated, and guided by a positive workplace culture, everyone wins.

By Karen Bridbord, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist and Organizational Consultant

​
When I wrote about the inflection of workplace culture back in May, I was expecting the pandemic to be a distant memory by now. Remember when we all thought it was going to last three weeks? Yet today, six months into the most significant global health crisis of our lifetime, we find ourselves still grappling with uncertainty.

Instead of creating new rituals to uplift and ground us as we find ourselves, as I recommended in the beginning of the pandemic, we now must find a way to sustain ourselves. We’re collectively exhausted. This pandemic is a marathon, not a sprint, and we need to act accordingly. This includes adjusting our company values and how they’re operationalized in our organizational cultures.

Basic Facts About Emotions - Feelings Motivate

16/10/2020

 
Picture
as seen on one of Robert Gordon's slides:

One of the basic facts about emotion - Feelings motivate

 
  • Fear motivates protection
  • Anger motivates attack
  • Joy motivates connection
  • Disgust motivates rejection
  • Trust motivates stepping forward
  • Sorrow motivates withdrawing
  • Surprise motivates stopping to assess
  • Anticipation motivates looking forward

There are myriad combinations of these expressed in thousands of words for feelings.
 
One of the basic facts about business life:  Meetings are… suboptimal
 
We have a lot of (probably WAY too many) fairly useless meetings.  They don’t GO anywhere, people leave having heard, but not feeling heard.  The leave with ideas but not meaning.
 
Put the two facts together:  
  • In your next meeting, how do you want people to feel?
 
If you consider that every meeting is an opportunity give a gift of emotion — emotion that will create some value for the person, the team, the organization — what gift will you give?

When You Judge Someone It is a Bad Reflection on You, Not the Person Being Judged

Quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer
by Suzie Doscher, Executive Coach and Life Coaching focusing on Personal Development, Self-Help Author: Balance - A Practical Handbook for Life's Difficult Moments

​Coaching your team? 
Add this skill to your coaching style – being non-judgmental.
​There is an abundance of articles on being a coach to your people. I enjoy reading the quality information provided by the Harvard Business Review.  
The desire to increase, enhance or maintain the quality of work, and in some cases even the quality of life at work, is evident.

The article in the HBR: Most Managers Don’t Know How to Coach. But They Can Learn, offers wonderful insights on what coaching is all about and aims to achieve.
Your responsibilities include leading, motivating, inspiring and with your coaching you hope to further their growth, development and enhance their skills.

Stop Wasting Good Energy by Reacting - Change Your Reactions to Constructive Actions

13/8/2020

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it” - Charles R. Swindoll
​Learning how to respond to a situation rather than just reacting to it brings huge rewards. Needless to say, it is one of those behaviour changes that is easier said than done. However it can be achieved.

Responding rather than reacting means you will have taken time to consider the situation and which response and consequent outcome best suits you. 
 
The difference between reacting and responding:
  • To respond means you are able to influence your emotions in the moment when something has triggered them. You are able to stop yourself from saying or doing something you might regret. 
  • You stop yourself long enough until your emotions have settled down and you can think clearly.
 
To react means you are not able to influence your emotions and you act emotionally rather than from a place of clarity.
 
What you can gain by stopping knee-jerk reactions is a sense of strength, achievement, power to 
influence, calmness, plus an increase in your self-esteem. The rewards will be felt not only in your private life, but also at work.

Breaking the Nasty Habit of Self-Sabotage

Self-sabotage: Find yourself facing the same brick wall over and over again?
by Suzie Doscher

Feel like you keep facing the same uphill struggle? 

Sometimes you create your own problems with your thoughts and beliefs. It is these particular thoughts that hold you back, keep you stuck and consequently limit you. In my coaching practice, as well as my own personal experience, I have witnessed how a self-sabotage routine can be created with these thoughts and beliefs. If you find that you keep coming back to the same type of situation again and again, it is well worth exploring if, in fact, you are running a self-sabotage routine.
 
To break this self-sabotage cycle, you will need to first determine what this limiting thought or belief is. Once you have figured that out (by yourself, with the help of a friend/boss or qualified coach), consider the information below to help yourself make a lasting change. 
 
The best approach is to replace whatever you are thinking is with a thought that is more positive. For example: 
  • "I am not sure how to..." can turn into, "I will find the time to work out how to do this."
  • "I do not have the time," turns into, "If I had the time, this is what I would do."

6 Brilliant Things People With Emotional Intelligence Do Under Pressure

2/8/2020

Emotional intelligence is now one of ten critical job skills required for workers to thrive by 2020.

By Marcel Schwantes at Inc.

In 2016, the World Economic Forum released its fascinating Future of Jobs Report, where they asked chief human resources officers from global companies what they saw as the top 10 job skills required for workers to thrive by 2020.
One skill projected for success in 2020 that didn’t even crack the top 10 list in 2015 was — you guessed it — emotional intelligence.

According to many experts in the field, emotional intelligence has become an important predictor of job success for nearly two decades, even surpassing technical ability.
In one noteworthy CareerBuilder survey of more than 2,600 U.S. hiring managers and human resources professionals, it was found that “fifty-nine percent of employers would not hire someone who has a high IQ but low [emotional intelligence].”

In fact, 75 percent of survey respondents said they’re more likely to promote someone with high emotional intelligence over someone with high IQ.
Companies are placing a high value on workers with emotional intelligence for several reasons. In my own studies and observations over the years as a leadership coach, here are six that really stand out...
