Emotional Intelligence can be defined as having:
I believe your Personal Power is intact when you: by Bill Gentry, Director, Leadership Insights & Analytics and Senior Research Scientist A professional getting promoted into his or her first formal leadership position in an organization is one of the biggest and most difficult transitions for any leader. Far too often, the leader and the organization take for granted just how difficult that transition is. The numbers prove it: No wonder 50% of managers in organizations are ineffective. Their ineffectiveness may be the result of not realizing what they are getting themselves into when it comes to leading others, not being supported in their new leadership role, and not being given the opportunity for training and development early enough in their careers as leaders. Think of the time and money that has to be spent on replacing these ineffective leaders—not to mention dealing with the low morale and disengagement of employees working under these ineffective leaders. by Suzie Doscher
In the past it was always 'there is life, and then there is work'. Somehow in recent decades it seems they can be so intertwined that you ‘live to work’ rather than the other way around and ‘work to have a life’. The term ‘Work-Life Balance’ seems to be all over the place now and usually closely related to preventing 'Burnout’. As a professional coach focusing on personal development I have been lucky to work with many Millennials. (Apparently these younger generations X & Y, are now all mixed together and make up ‘Generation Stress’!) What I have learned from these young, motivated and focused young individuals is: Not only is it important to them to achieve their goals yet work/life balance HAS to be in the mix. A good life means quality of life both at home and at work. This is what they strive for and frequently the goal in our coaching. Work-Life Balance An Essential Ingredient to Success My younger clients are inspiring and fun to work with. I value being by their side supporting and witnessing their growth as they strive to reach professional goals and enjoy their life at the same time.

Instead of focusing on classic New Year's Resolutions:
How about looking at 2018 as being the year of moving forward and making the kind of changes that stick forever? Change your thinking in order to invest your time and energy to grow and develop yourself. Have a major impact on your home life as well as your professional life, no matter what your position: boss, leader or team member with some personal development. Many of your desired 'resolutions' will be resolved with this approach. In fact, with time all of the habits you wish to change will be replaced with habits that leave you calm, satisfied, fulfilled, stimulated, energized and healthy. You will feel better, look better and be a better person. You can 'grow into your skin' - be the person you know you are. ...Click 'read more' Good advice from Laura Berman Fortgang
I have no tax advice for you. Nothing you should do to your lawn before the next season hits. Nor do I have anything to say about your frequent flier miles or doctor visits and insurance deductibles. I DO however, have three must-do’s that will help you walk into a new year with more energy, peace, and hope. REPAIR a Relationship Nobody is perfect. Maybe there is someone you are on the outs with or someone who is holding a grudge against you. There is no better time than the present to address it. Think of the possibilities of a new year without the stress or aggravation of this energy drain. Perhaps there is such a relationship, but a heart to heart is just not possible. In that case, forgiveness is the only option. Whether you can speak to the person about it or not, work on forgiving what they did to you. If they are mad about something you did, forgive them for withholding their friendship, love, or approval of you. People behave within the limits of their own growth and experience. Forgive and move on. Do it for yourself, not for them. Click 'Read More' to find out what the other two are.. by Gordon Tredgold published on Inc.com
Executive coaching was not something I ever saw myself either signing up for, as I was always of the impression that only poor performers or under performers needed coaching and I never saw myself in that category. That all changed around ten years ago when DHL decided that coaching was going to be a key part of their leadership development. To be honest, I wasn't convinced that this was going to be of much benefit because at the time I was leading a $100m It program, and the coach assigned to me had never led a small project, let alone a large complex international change program, But this turned out to be one of the pivotal moments in my career, one that instrumental in helping me move from Director level to Senior Vice President. Since then I have always looked to work with a coach, have sought our former coaches whenever I have been in need, and have now moved into the Executive coaching space myself as I can clearly see the benefits that it can bring. Here are five things that I got from coaching which helped me in my career. ...Click 'Read More' below By Lisa Maulhardt
In the beginning, when a leader steps into a new role, everything’s possible. Good leaders take on new challenges in their careers with optimism and enthusiasm, paying close attention to how they show up as individuals. Great leaders do even more. They know that they also need to push for greatness at every level: in their duo relationships, with their teams, and for their customers and company—especially when they want to have an impact in a new job. Here are seven moves leaders can make as they’re starting a new chapter. (And if you haven’t already, read up on what leaders can do before their first day as well.) ... |
