Meetings are only as effective as the purpose and context behind them. Without clarity, it’s easy for conversations to drift off course. In our latest blog post, we discuss how setting a clear purpose and providing context ensures that meetings stay focused and productive. Take a moment to read and consider how purpose-driven meetings could make a difference in your work. #Meetings #Leadership #Communication https://hubs.ly/Q02R5P3n0

In her leadership book “Dare to Lead” Brené Brown shares a tool called Permission Slips. The idea of them is that it can help give us permission to think, say, and do what we need to take care of ourselves while we get on with the job. Brown uses them with her own team, she gets them to write out permission slips to themselves and others - so they can collaborate better, get the work done, and no longer worry about revealing vulnerabilities. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to be our brave authentic selves – to be brave and afraid at the same time; permission slips are a way to state our intention for how we want to behave (Brown) Permission slips are a useful ritual for teams, particularly before meetings or conversations that require vulnerability. Everyone on the team writes down and shares something that they intend to give themselves permission to do or feel in the meeting For example – “I give myself permission to collect my thoughts before speaking…or I give myself permission to tell others that I am feeling nervous” These aren’t promissory notes. These are intentions only, so there are no repercussions if you fail to deliver; however, they are useful for understanding where everyone in the room is coming from an what their intent is. One team member might be working on listening to understand, another might be focused on being present, rather than letting their mind obsess over an endless to-do list, another might want to listen more than they talk. Sharing permission slips is a great way to check-in with teammates, practice vulnerability, and build trust. “Being vulnerable gets the static out of the way and lets us do the job together, without worrying or hesitating,” Polzer. Vulnerability is hard, and it's scary, and it feels dangerous, but it's not as hard, scary or dangerous as getting to the end of our lives and having to ask ourselves, 'What if I would've shown up?' Show up, be seen, answer the call to courage...” B Brown Vulnerability is scary. Evolution tells us that vulnerability means we’re fragile—we’re defenceless against attacks. But vulnerability is not weakness or an invitation for people to walk all over us. Quite the opposite. It is powerful. It provides hope and quashes fears. It engenders trust. It builds bonds and cements relationships. It builds psychological safety, which provides the space for others to be vulnerable. The truth about vulnerability is that is not a weakness; it is a strength. People tend to think of vulnerability in a touchy-feely way, but that’s not what’s happening. It’s about sending a really clear signal that you have weaknesses, that you could use help. And if that behaviour becomes a model for others, then you can set the insecurities aside and get to work, start to trust each other and help each other (Polzer) What could you write on your permission slip today? What difference would it make? #vulnerability #leadership #permissionslip

It was exhilarating recording a #podcast on how #System Coaches can assist #organisations with today's #complex #challenges. Alongside #Leadership Coach and founder of #Leaderion, Indranil Das, ICF PCC, ORSCC we collaborated with Aman Verma at Intueri Consulting to share our thoughts and experiences. My invitation for #leaders to reflect on as we end the podcast are: 👉 What is working well in your organisation? 👉 What is not working so well? And: 👉 What are the benefits to keeping things as they are? 👉 What is the cost for the organisation and the members within it? And if the cost is greater than the benefits, it might be time to consider doing something different. Which is where #System #Coaches come in. I conclude the #podcast by sharing these famous words by Henry Ford: "If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always gotten". 🎧 Link to the podcast in first comment, or simply click the image below. Thank you Indranil Das, and the team at Intueri Consulting for making this happen. Here's to further future collaboration. 🔥 #Organisationalculture #Resilience #Leadership #SystemsCoaching #TeamCoaching #Coaching #IntueriTalk #Podcast

With the uncertainty about the economy these days, many leaders I'm speaking to feel nervous about the months ahead. In some cases, learning and development programs are experiencing budget freezes and cuts. If you are in the midst of uncertainty at your organization, check out FranklinCovey's guide, which explores how leaders can protect their programs and ensure their people get the support they need to thrive. https://lnkd.in/gjJ6T3Cj #budgetcuts #learninganddevelopment #protectyourbudget #CHRO #CLO #CPO #uncertainty
