If creativity would be an Olympic discipline, this Belgian athlete would definitely go for Gold: Using ChatGPT as support to qualify for the Olympics 😅 ... Sometimes you come across inspiring stories about people's careers or milestones... Yesterday, Belgian John Heymans, professional runner participating in the Olympics, drew my attention because of his attitude and mindset...and creative use of ChatGPT 🌟.   Around the age of 18, John realized he wouldn't reach the top in hockey 🏒 (his own words 😉), so he shifted his focus to running, specializing in the 5K. After completing his studies in bio-engineering 🧬, John made a pretty bold decision (and this is just 2 years ago!). He decided to pursue his Olympic dream in professional athletics. The press headlines capture attention: "With the Help of ChatGPT, Qualifying for the Olympics" 🥇!  Besides dedicating himself entirely to his athletic performance, he got smart about his path to the Olympics. Using ChatGPT, he generated Python code  to determine which races would give him the best shot at qualifying. And it worked (in a way a small side note because his dedication to training obsessively is clearly the number 1 reason 🙂 )! Yesterday, as John ran the semi-finals, it was clear how much he was enjoying himself. Rarely do you see someone enjoy a 5K semi-final like he did, waving to his family (during the race!!) with pure joy on his face 😊👋.   Loved the interview afterwards during which he was superpassionate and authentic, but also very realistic, as he said "Everyone is limited by their genetics. I do not have the genes to reach a medal level. But I do perform at the maximum of my level, and that is the only thing I can expect. I am going to experience the most beautiful moment of my life running the finals." 🌟✨ #positivity #performance #AI #chatgpt #coaching #innovation #personaldevelopment #johnheymans #sports #Olympics #talent #creativity #entrepreneurship Photo Credits: AP

What a huge difference. I experienced such a big difference with giving workshops in the past 4 days. I think that the environment also has a big impact on people. This green environment on the picture is stimulating, positive, good for people. A closed, windowless room does the opposite to people. Did you experience that too? #teambuilding #workshop #training #coaching #leadership 😀

🚀 Do you know the Real ROI on Fractional HR? 🚀 Hiring specialized #fractionalHR executives is a big investment for an SME. Yet the costs often obscure the immense value created by someone able to grab the gears of the organisation and ramp it up. 🤝 Take talent acquisition. As organizations scale, excessive time to fill vacant roles and manager frustration collapse strategic growth plans. What’s the expense of stalled product launches or losing competitive edge in your market? 🅾 Likewise, unchecked attrition bleeding top performers saps teams’ productivity. What’s the hard dollar amount here? 🧓 A fractional recruiting leader catalyzes transformation. Veteran know-how amplifies sourcing capability overnight. DEI innovations fortify pipelines with strength in diversity. Time-to-fill and offer decline rates plunge as candidates eagerly join. 💷 An independent compensation specialism architecting refreshed levelling ignites employee retention and referrals. Cumbersome annual review administration transforms into agile, continuous performance management coaching. Salary benchmarking validates internal pay equity. #CEOs. The real expense is not the fractional rate. It’s opportunity costs from running with the status quo. That status quo remains the place of the mid-market permanent hire, with all its sunken cost, relative expertise and in-built redundancy at times when demands ebbs. Consider what fractional expertise makes possible to achieve, expand, and excel. Plot the cascading revenue gains and cost avoidance instead of focusing on the rate as a cost. All of this crystallizes #fractionalHR's value. Their strategic impact eclipses temporary costs, even when the allure of that permanent contract at a market rate feels like the comfortable place to be. See the forest, not just the trees. Choose #fractionalHR. If you want to know more, then download the C-Suite guide below 👇 👇 👇 https://lnkd.in/eKm6mW6J

🏆 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 – 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞! 💼💥 To start with, I would like to thank one of the most brilliant people I've had the luck to come across, Thibaut André, for sharing this with me. In Simon Sinek’s powerful talk, he makes a compelling distinction between what’s at stake in business 💰 and what’s at stake on the battlefield ⚔️. While lives are on the line in the latter, Sinek argues that the essence of cohesive teamwork 🤝, trust 🤲, and commitment 🔥 is just as essential in the corporate world 🌐. Business may not be life-or-death, but the "battles" we face—especially in times of crisis 🚨 or intense project management 📊—hinge on trust and the willingness to support each other fully. A pivotal takeaway for me was the 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐱 📈. This tool categorizes team members along two axes—trust and performance. High-performing, low-trust individuals may meet targets 🎯, but they undermine team cohesion, fostering a culture of self-interest 🤷. In contrast, even average performers who are high in trust become invaluable to the team 💪, elevating overall morale and resilience. This principle resonates deeply when managing crises or complex programs where a tight-knit, trusting team can mean the difference between success and failure 💼➡️🏆. Sinek's emphasis on 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 💥 struck a chord with my own experience. True commitment can’t be superficial or transactional; it's about taking risks 🎲 and being fully invested. When employees feel they have a stake—not just in their KPIs 📊, but in the very outcomes they’re working toward—trust flourishes 🌱. People become more accountable 🧩, more supportive 💬, and better equipped to overcome challenges 🚀. Reflecting on Sinek's insights, I see that the real measure of success in business isn't only in achieving results 🏁 but in 𝐟𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 isn’t just a value but an everyday practice 💯. It’s in these high-trust environments that companies see sustainable success, especially under pressure 🔝. #CorporateFinance #Leadership #TrustMatrix #TeamCohesion #SkinInTheGame #CrisisManagement #ProjectExecution #HighPerformance #BusinessLeadership https://lnkd.in/eKNQyY9t

AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP FOR YOUNG TALENTS - CIENT'S SUCCES STORY “The atmosphere during the conversations was very open and confidential. There was a positive approach to difficult personal issues, where you were guided to find solutions yourself. Daphne listens very well and attentively. By asking the right questions and leaving silences, she ensures that you look for the answer yourself, even though this can sometimes be confronting. I would definitely recommend the coaching service. Daphne triggers you to dig deeper into your own personality in order to arrive at solid answers to questions. She uses a combination of exercises and personal questions for this. Ultimately, you remain in the lead during the sessions and determine the direction you want to go.“ – Pepijn Gregorowitsch #seayourvaluecoaching #personalgrowth #youngtalent #authenticleadershipforyoungtalents #leadwithimpact #myleadershipjourney #futureleaders #leadershipmindset #youngleaders #nextgenleaders #leadershipjourney #leadershipdevelopment #empoweryourself #authenticleadership #leadershipskills #careerdevelopment #professionalgrowth #emotionalintelligence #growthmindset #leadershipcoaching #inclusiveleadership #empathyinleadership

#LearningNudges Recently there has been a lot of conversation about stress at work and mental health. Just like everyone else, I also feel stress and wanted solutions for my mentees and myself. Here is a #Tedtalk that helped me. Step 1. Identify your stress Step 2. Create a Customized Resiliency Kit. Yes that’s the key, we all run to popular solutions like yoga and meditation…nothing wrong in that. But they might not always work to manage a toxic or insecure manager at office. Research, seek inputs from #mentors and create something that works for you. Step 3. Practice, Practice, Practice Steps 4. Share your kit and help others create their Customised Stress Resilience Kit. #CustomisedStressResilienceKit #StressManagement #MentalHealth SHRM India #ZIG Abhijit Bhaduri @sangeetarai

Eat this, Arnout Van den Bossche ! :-) One of the key benefits of executive coaching is its blah blah unlock high-potential executives’ hidden talents and capabilities by providing a safe and supportive environment. Regular blah blah coaching sessions encourage executives to think outside the box, challenge their assumptions, and identify innovative solutions to complex problems. As a result, they blah blah become more resilient and adaptable leaders, capable of leading their organizations through change and uncertainty... #realitybeatscomedy

OUTSIDERS: They see what others overlook. 👀 𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 Interim Managers used to be PERMANENT Employees. During their 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 projects, some of them feel like OUTSIDERS. 🤔 Because in their 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 jobs, they often felt a sense of Belonging, like part of a big 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 Family. But now, as Interim Managers, they 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 feel Disconnected or have a sense that they 𝗱𝗼 𝗡𝗢𝗧 belong anywhere. 🌟 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆; 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.🌟 You have gained a 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 ADVANTAGE that NO Permanent Employee will 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 have. An Interim Manager steps in with: 👉 NO strings Attached. 👉 No loyalty to “how it’s 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 been done.” 👉 No ties to 𝗼𝗹𝗱 habits. 👉 Just FRESH EYES and a BOLD perspective. 💼 It 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 happens that a 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 team can be stuck in its 𝗼𝗹𝗱 ways for years, and leadership STRUGGLES to break the cycle. Interim Managers are 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 to Spot what others CAN NOT see. The POWER of being an outsider means: 💠 You’re NOT tied down by routine. You SEE things differently. 💠 You bring CLARITY to decisions that politics often cloud. 💠 You have a WEALTH of experience that goes beyond the industry walls. 🌍 An outsider isn’t a threat—it’s the SECRET to real, 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 Change. Next time someone calls you “just an Outsider,” wear it with PRIDE. That’s what makes you the TRUE Change Professional. 💪🏼❤️ #Interim #Project #ProcessImprovement #freelance #Generalmanager

Human interaction seems to be slowly disappearing in #business. More and more people prefer to "send an email" instead of calling their customers or suppliers. In return, customers don't do anything different either: very often they disappear without even negotiating the offer or the #partnership proposal. 👀 "Sending an email" does not help much when direct human interaction is necessary. An email helps when you send documents or offers. But then, you need a clear, direct discussion regarding the information sent. My conclusion: as we move forward, the capacity for human interaction between organizations decreases, both in terms of volume AND quality. Question is: what to do next ❓ #AndreiVuta #StructureandClarity #Linkedin #communication #sales

Dear People Pro When in uncertain times or in a crisis, people turn to business leaders for guidance and direction. How can we, as Leaders, best serve our teams, in a VUCA world? How do we chart the way forward and adapt our leadership to meet the moment, when the only certainty seems to be more uncertainty? At Belbin, we have seen many teams through highs and lows. Here are our five tips for effective leadership in a crisis: 1. Authenticity is key An authentic leader is committed to learning about and understanding their contribution to the whole, and is actively engaged in deploying their strengths and managing their shortcomings in service of the team, even as those requirements are changing. 2. Be prepared to become many different leaders. Whilst this may seem to conflict with the advice above, it’s crucial to realise that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ in team leadership. Each team member requires a tailored response from their leader, which may demand an array of leadership skills. 3. Foster psychological safety. As a leader, model honesty and transparency. Recognising mistakes are part of progress won’t provoke blame. This will ensure that problems are addressed quickly and not allowed to compromise outcomes. 4. Don’t try to go it alone. Leadership shouldn’t be restricted to the organisational chart. Collective leadership boosts engagement and encourages others to take greater responsibility for outcomes. Celebrate the diverse forms of leadership in teams. 5. Learn when to trust your instincts – and when to question them. It can be difficult to accept that we cannot plan for every eventuality and that we won’t always get it right. Admit that the destination is unknown and the journey may involve many twists and turns. Well, knowing 'what to do' is NOT knowing 'how to do it'! This is where BELBIN comes in!
