Big thank you to Imogen de Vries and Chloe Lowe from Psysoft today for their EQ-i Webinar. I love using this tool with clients and it becomes increasingly relevant as leaders have to navigate ongoing change, uncertainty and ambiguity in their roles. It strikes me that so many of the challenges we help leaders and teams with stem from under-developed emotional intelligence (and EQ is so much more than just Empathy). Leaders have often 'got where they are today' because of their technical skills and/or their high IQ. But increasingly we know that this is not enough to ⚡ build and lead high-performing (multi-generational) teams ⚡ keep people engaged (especially with huge amounts of change) ⚡ create a healthy, efficient, effective culture (especially with hybrid-working The EQ-i assessment (and the 360 version) are well-researched, valid, realiable and easy to understand tools to support leadership selection, development, succession planing, team dynamics The tool itself and a good quality coaching debrief helps leaders ✨ identify their strengths ✨ raise self-awareness of blind-spots ✨ assess readiness for promotion ✨ build teams with complementary strengths ✨ create meaningful development plans It was particularly helpful to get their expert insight into using it in the context of #neurodivergence, as our openness and understanding of the implications for leaders and their teams expands. #emotionalintelligence #psychometrics #performance #leadership

In a constantly changing world, it is impossible to predict all the challenges and opportunities that will arise during a project. This is why it is essential to adopt an agile approach, focusing on iteration and adaptation rather than rigid planning. This doesn't mean planning isn't important. Rather, adequate planning is essential to ensure that all team members understand the project's objectives and milestones. However, it is important not to fall into the trap of “over-planning” and focus on execution and iteration. I wrote an article on "overplanning" in change management: "From strategy to execution: Agility in change management". As you point out Shahrir Asri, it's important to start fast, fail fast, learn fast, and improve fast. This is how we can innovate and succeed in an ever-changing world. Ultimately, finding the balance between planning and execution is essential to success. By adopting an agile approach and focusing on iteration and adaptation, we can overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities that come our way. Thank you for sharing

When it comes to selecting #transformation professionals, recruiters value an individuals positive disposition and executive presence. If you’re in this space, consider whether your career tools, interview skills and demeanour allow your natural warmth, resilience and sense of humour to shine through. After all, who you are and how you are perceived is just as important as what your CV says you can do.

Something I'm really enjoying at the moment is supporting people who are putting together a coaching / training program and want to gather some data insights to help with their design. Running organisational research can be complex, but a well designed survey / structured interviews can help you to design a program that's well targeted to the workforce's needs. Not only that, but if you plan the process well, you can engage your staff from the very beginning so that they feel they are part of the initiative, rather than having an intervention 'done to' them. You can learn so much from this type of work - leaders and commissioners may have ideas about what topics need to be covered, but in all the organisational surveys I've worked on, we always discover blind spots, new ideas and hidden gems of information that can really help get to the root of a particular challenge, or unveil previously unrecognised opportunities. I can support in lots of different ways - from mentoring you to design the survey yourself, or full, done for you delivery (and everything in between!) If this sounds like something I could help you with, drop me a message, I'd love to chat!

My facilitation pictures are my favourite tool in my facilitation kit. They're a powerful tool for building greater engagement and understanding. I find them incredibly versatile, as they can be adapted to different contexts, including starting conversations, exploring ideas, clarifying concepts, providing feedback, reflecting on learning and debriefing activities. These are from my go-to set, although I have different sets depending on the purpose (coaching , storytelling, feedback etc.). In my workshop last week, we used them to illustrate the good qualities and behaviours of healthy and high-performing team cultures. Do you use facilitation pictures? How do you use them in your workshops? #facilitation #facilitationtools #faciliationpictures
