Many of you will know that I am already Chairman of Inspiring Workplaces because I am passionate about its Purpose of helping organisations to succeed by putting their people first. I'm delighted to announce that I am now Principal Consultant in the new Inspiring Workplaces Consulting arm. https://lnkd.in/gH5g7-wt   My specific goal as Principal Consultant is to help businesses find solutions to their biggest people-related problems by using our new PeopleFirst Matrix diagnostic. Much like BCG's Growth Share Matrix helps companies decide how to prioritize their different businesses, our PeopleFirst Matrix helps business leaders prioritise where to invest in their people.    Smart leaders know that if they put the people first they will achieve sustainable success and outperform companies who do not. But they are bombarded with a myriad of things to do from wellness programmes to technology platforms. Using our diagnostic pinpoints exactly where to prioritise action. It will save huge amounts of wasted time, effort and money by enabling organisations to identify exactly where to focus their effort.   Send me a message if you'd like to unlock the true potential of your business. #PeopleFirst #prioritisation #employeeengagement #belief #belong #inspiringleaders

Ever pondered the reasons behind the failure of certain change initiatives? It's frequently the aspect concerning human behaviour that tends to be disregarded. Vanessa Auditore's latest publication extensively explores the comprehension of fear, the management of resistance, and the cultivation of resilience. By arming yourself with the necessary tools for implementing successful change, you are better equipped to navigate the complexities of organisational transformation. Understanding the psychological barriers that can impede progress, such as fear of the unknown or resistance to change, is crucial in steering initiatives towards favorable outcomes. Auditore's insights shed light on the importance of addressing these human factors in any change management strategy. By honing your skills in these areas, you can enhance your effectiveness as a leader and positively impact the trajectory of your business. #OrganisationalChange #EmployeeEngagement #AdaptabilitySkills.

Vulnerability is so key in leadership for leaders to reflect and acknowledge what it is that makes them great at what they do and also be open to opportunities to be better and do things differently. Self reflection is the start of the journey and 3 other things leaders can do to embrace their vulnerability include; 💫 Sharing their personal stories 💫 Embracing emotional conversations 💫 Fostering a feedback culture If you'd like to know more about how leaders can embrace these and what more they can do to embrace their vulnerability and build greater connections, then do get in contact. Also, if you’re looking for a speaker to talk to your leaders more about why vulnerability is crucial in leadership - please get in contact to discuss! 😊 Sian

Is your business, conscience, conscious or maybe neither? Jill Taylor's articles are thought proving and great for the possibility in, and for, business. In this article, I love how she goes deeply into the use of the word 'conscious' to describe what are essentially conscientious businesses. What do you think about the difference between conscience and conscious in the business world?

Our latest paper out with Dr Joe Dispenza – “Let's keep calm and breathe”—A mindfulness meditation program in school and its effects on children's behavior and emotional awareness: An Australian pilot study This study aimed to understand how mindfulness meditation affects young people by examining its impact on self-regulation, happiness, emotional awareness, and school performance among two groups of school children. A 10-week mindfulness program was conducted by a meditation expert for 552 children aged 4–8 (Group 1) and 287 children aged 9–11 (Group 2). Results for the 4–8 years group (Group 1) showed meditation predicted an increase in happiness (R2 = .003, p < .001) and self-reported school performance (R2 = .005, p < .001) and a decrease in emotional (R2 = .017, p < .001) and behavioral difficulties (R2 = .009, p < .001); however, the effect sizes were small. In the 9–11 years group (Group 2), meditation predicted an increase in emotional awareness (R2 = .02, p < .001), and a decrease in emotional (R2 = .014, p < .001) and behavioral difficulties (R2 = .009, p < .001) as measured by scores from baseline to postintervention. For Group 2, there was no significant change in happiness over the 10 weeks. The findings support incorporating mindfulness meditation in schools, noting significant enhancements in self-regulation with just 5 min of daily practice. Practitioner Points -Daily meditation of just 5 min for 4–8-year-olds predicted an increase in happiness, self-reported school performance, and a decrease in emotional and behavioral difficulties. -Daily meditation of just 5 min in 9–11-year-olds predicted an increase in emotional awareness, and a decrease in emotional and behavioral difficulties, but no change in happiness. -Daily meditation of just 5 min over 10 weeks enhanced self-regulation in primary school children.

The evidence supporting the impact of Emotional Intelligence (EI) training and coaching is substantial, here are some results achieved from a program with a client. I began by conducting a Genos 180 Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment before the program commenced. This was followed by a 12-hour, in-person, facilitated training and 4.5 hours of one-on-one coaching per participant over a span of 5 months. Participants were also given their Feedback Report, a Development Tips workbook, and expert-led debrief and action planning methodologies to help them leverage their strengths and address development opportunities. After completing the program, the participants retook the Genos 180 Emotional Intelligence Leadership Assessment. The results showed an improvement in their scores, with an average total improvement of +8, from a score of 75% at the beginning to 83% after the program. The improvements in specific areas were as follows:  - Self Awareness +11 - Awareness of Others +4 - Authenticity +11 - Emotional Reasoning +7 - Self-Management +6 - Inspiring Performance +8 Leadership is essentially about facilitating high performance and motivating others to act effectively and efficiently. Emotional intelligence is a crucial attribute that helps leaders fulfil this function. Message or email me to learn how you can improve emotionally intelligent leadership skills at your workplace.
