These illuminating bite-sized articles explore the idea that delivering quality coaching requires coaches to address their development holistically and put the 'Personal' into Professional Development (CPPD). Julia Carden PhD, PCC, FCIPD and Dr Elizabeth Crosses' research highlighted that "the route to deep client connection, which enables coaches to work at a level of insight and change, comes from the work on self and self-awareness", asking us to consider how learning and development choices might enhance how we are being rather than what we are doing as a coach. They offer the following questions as points of reflection when planning your CPPD:  + What is the purpose of my development (for me, my clients and the systems we live and work in)?  + What is the difference I want to make? + What am I curious about? + What does my soul need? + What is my body telling me that I need to pay attention to? #selfcompassion #selfreflection #selfconnection #selfawareness #coachdevelopment #bestpractice #coachingsupervision

It’s always interesting what comes out of the Listening Partnerships with Rebecca Daniel (ICF PCC, EMCC Snr Practitioner, ESIA) and Sarah Bramall PCC, Senior Prac EMCC, and last week was no different. I posted recently about aligning my services and pricing with my values, but realised I missed out a big one: comfort! Comfort is a massive deal for me - not just in business, but in life. I’m all about pyjama days, fluffy slippers, and prioritising comfort over fashion (though I’m sure I could have both if I dedicated some time to it). I’ve dealt with eczema for years, and leaving clinical nursing where I was often dehydrated, constantly handwashing, and eating erratically, did wonders for my skin. But since the birth of my kids, I’ve developed psoriasis, and that brings a whole new level of discomfort. I’ve thrown emollients, steroids, vitamins and all sorts of weird and wonderful things at it over the past six years and it has been frustrating. But last Friday was the final straw: I realised I needed to change something significantly when showering made me cry. I was in so much pain and I needed to take back some control. I made a drastic decision and decided to reset. I decided to cut out some of the things reported to be linked to flare-ups: caffeine, added sugar, and alcohol. Just for a week. It was harder than I expected. I don’t drink much alcohol, but cutting out 3–4 cups of sweet coffee a day hit me like a tonne of bricks: headaches, muscle pain, exhaustion. My body screamed for caffeine, and I felt ridiculous. How did I let myself get so dependent on something that my body rebelled without it? I’d be lying if I said I don’t feel a bit embarrassed! Here’s the thing though – as you all probably guessed, my psoriasis improved drastically in just five days. So now I need to work out my priorities: keep up the caffeine or slowly reintroduce it and see what happens? I’ll work it out, but what struck me was that constant cycle of frustration and discomfort led me to just keep adding things to my body and lifestyle in a hope that the combination would make things better; sometimes all we need is to just go back to basics. My body craved comfort, fought back when I removed what I thought was comforting it, but is now healing and feeling so much better. What tells you you’re missing something vital? How do you reset to focus on getting to the source of the problem? ________________________________________ 👋 I’m Kat, and I’m here to help.

Why psychological safety matters     Diversity within teams brings myriad benefits to companies - that has been demonstrated consistently by research over time.   Teams of people from varied backgrounds and life experiences are better at identifying problems and generating innovative solutions than those without such variety. They bring a wider range of thinking, perspectives and experiences to a project, challenge or problem. This can come with its own unique challenges. The more diverse a team, the more important it is for each to listen, exercise patience and empathy so they can better understand and accept each other.   Which is why psychological safety matters so much. When people feel safe to express their thoughts and take risks within a team, they tend to collaborate openly and produce more creative work - important for long-term success in an every changing world.    Is there an open and psychologically safe work culture where you work? If your answer to this question is no, or you’re unsure, let’s talk. #psychologicalsafety #wellbeing #leadership #teams

The Institute of Directors (IoD) recently posted about workplace stress and burnout, it's quite an interesting article, you might want to take a look. It's more commonplace than you might think and 'just 51% of participants agreed that their organisation addressed the potential impacts of stress and burnout'. I'm now offering Wellbeing 1st Responder training through Wellbeing With Cari. This is true neuroscience-based ability to increase your organisational health - quite amazing really. Think of it as a precursor to mental health first aid - reducing potential impact on organisational efficiency and productivity.

Our most recent Winning Edge Mindset - Mancroft International Mindset Blog focuses on the importance of the nature of your self-talk. Ultimately, it plays a huge role in determining who you are. It's that little voice in your head which will either hold you back, or propel you forward. Do you ever give any conscious thought as to what the narrative is that you perpetuate about yourself- to you and to others? Maybe you do but if you don't, maybe it's worth paying attention to it. #winningedgemindset #mindsetmatters #selftalk #selfimage #mindsetreset

How to determine whether team coaching is right for your team at the minute: 1. Have you noticed a lack of trust between your team members? 2. Has communication within the team broken down? 3. Is the team struggling to meet the goals and objectives set by the organisation? 4. Has productivity within the team reduced? 5. Is your team currently working well together to achieve goals and objectives? If your answer is YES, to at least 3 of the above statements, you must join this program OR write to [email protected] to set up a discovery call. Hardy Alexander, PCC-ICF TRIUNE GLOBAL

How will the discipline, tools and approaches of #changemanagement evolve in the era of #ai? It’s a good question and one that doesn’t have easy and obvious answers. Paul Gibbons, FRSA will share his view on this and other subjects in this online event which promises to be both interesting and informative. I was involved in an AI event yesterday at the House of Lords where the impact of digitalisation and artificial intelligence on the energy industry was explored. Perhaps the dominant theme that emerged was that the key to deployment of the technology was people, leadership and culture. This won’t be a huge surprise to the change management community- it was ever thus with new technologies. But what are the special challenges posed by AI solutions? And how does AI offer to help in making effective change happen. I’ll share some of my thoughts on this separately along with an article I have written with Shelley Copsey, CEO of #fyld on how AI can make a difference to some of the emerging workforce issues in the sector.

What do you want to be doing in 10 years’ time? This is a short clip of me linking the Concept-of-Self to client practice in coaching. Specifically, I give an example of how Stability-of-Self might show up. This is about psychological continuity, or more easily understood as "sameness" like a thread that ensures over time (the same "me"). I see this a lot with my clients in scenarios such as making a big decision, breaking from social pressures or expectations, reinvention, long term goals and many more. The example I give of low Stability-of-Self relates to self-as-process or a construction. A bit like product development (Minimum Viable Product), where gathering data with short experiments, to iterate and pivot: a more emergent way of being. What you do is who you become. So, the big single purpose or "why" in life may not connect with how they understand the self, they don't already have a future self to speak from. Instead, Minimum Viable Purpose may work better or the next why, what, step, experiment or experience. We can all do with understanding our Concept-of-Self and be more open-minded about how others understand themselves. Especially important for coaches, but also for managers and teams. At a basic level that career question in interviews "what do you want to be doing in 10 years' time" is geared towards high Stability-of-Selfers. A better question might be "how do you approach your personal and professional growth and what does that say about you and your career"? This includes a range of ways to be and become.
