This year I decided I wanted two things: 1. To publish a book 2. To open and close a conference with reflection activities My book will be published on 10/7/2025. This Friday 11/1/2024 I’m opening and closing the SOLD OUT ATD Sacramento conference. Both took doing something I’m learning to do: 1. Asking for help 2. Offering what I want to do to others (since apparently they can’t read my mind) So, yes, I’m kind of proud of myself. But I’d also like to offer my experience as encouragement. What do you need to ask for? And what help do you need? I’d love to support you.

"#Leadership and #followership suggests we see the same thing in different ways. Communication is necessary to reach a shared understanding. " Highly recommend Ruth's Substack "Follow and Lead" for insightful and actionable articles like this one! https://lnkd.in/gEGREWKu

What if we could match the high level of work inputs channeled into DEI efforts with an equally high level of equitable outcomes? In my new article for HR.com, I outline the six stages of developing cultural competence and explain how both individuals and organizations can implement this transformational approach to: 1. Shift their unconscious Filters 2. Operate from the higher stage of development DEI work requires 3. Create lasting change 🔗 https://hubs.la/Q02Cd9-S0 #SpeedOfBias #CulturalCompetence #DEI

What's in your leadership Library? Not your kindle or your nook or on your podcast line up. What printed books are in your possession that help you with leadership? Tomorrow I start leading an annual LeaderShip Cohort for terrific ongoing client partner Oregon Resource Association. In fact, this is the 5th annual Cohort ~ and here are 6 observational thoughts. 1. When you focus on the people in the room, not those who aren't, everyone has a better experience. The size of audience has little to do with possible action and impact. Those present at the present 🎁 and deserve full focus. 2. Experimenting with format variables is highly likely and helpful - i.e. number of sessions, format, length, space. We started with 3 sessions, then 3 again, then 4, then 6 - and this year it's 5. Partially to celebrate the 5th year of the series. The registered students will tell you what's working vocally and behaviorally. 3. Be willing to add a group and perhaps a 2nd session. We added a 2nd cohort group [max 30 per group] the very first year due to enthusiastic response! Same day, 2 different times, everybody in. That may have also boosted further registration. 4. Have a focused area of growth and be sure to build sessions ecosystemically. A theme is another way of stating this: what's the purpose of the gathering for growth? Having a theme jump starts the connection within the group, since the purpose is aligned from the start. Ours is LeaderShip, and this year I've chosen 5 books to utilize for the 5 classes. 5. Enjoy the organic nature of adjustment as you progress. In every class there are revelations! Respond to those and use them to enhance the future classes. Reference them so that people know they're being heard and their contribution is fuel for the group. If you teach online and in person series, what lessons and observations have you found lightbulby? Please share them below. Stoked for the new series (with some returnees) to begin tomorrow! And there's still time to register if you wish to join us - the link is in the comments below. Connection & LeaderShip. Industry agnostic, fun, interactive, online, good humans. Huge thanks to ORA's Training Coordinator, pro Kimberly Mintrone 🙏🏼 #connection #leadership #professionaldevelopment

In Jan 2024 Erica Goos and Mădălina Rădulescu paired up to offer monthly Group Coaching SuperVision in collaboration with ICF Washington State (ICFWA) chapter. Inga Bielińska, MCC, ESIA, EIA, ITCA, ACTC, MA and myself joined them a month after that (thank you Erica and Madalina for including us). #Coaching #Supervision is a safe space for #reflective #learning. One of the important needs for SuperVision that I have personally felt is of self-care and restoration of energy. Working with clients can be emotionally draining, mentally fatiguing. Most of the time we may not even recognise this or if we do, not give it any importance. I feel it is important to replenish ourselves as coaches so we can best serve our clients and their eco systems. If you have had similar experiences, do come and join us and find out for yourself the possibilities of coaching supervision, this month on Tuesday, 25th June, 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM Pacific Time Zone. You can use this link to register: https://lnkd.in/gm-mdGJR

Looking forward to ICF San Diego Chapter's event today with the author of How to Work With Almost Anyone, 📚 Michael Bungay Stanier! Relationships are a vital part of EVERY aspect of our lives: social, familial, cultural, organizational, corporational... the list goes on. It's inevitable that your relationships will affect your outcomes - so why do we so readily leave it up to fate to maintain the invisible between us? We have to pay attention to the invisible space within ourselves, and between self and others - this space determines whether magic or tragic happens! I am excited to learn something new and dive deeper into WHY this falls wayside for so many and HOW we can practice better habits that prioritize the wellbeing of relationships. #keeplearning #growthmindset Let me know if you're a fellow ICF member and planning to attend! #EmployeeWellbeing #EmployeeEngagement #ICFSanDiego #InternationalCoachingFederation #ExecutiveCoach #OrganizationalTransformation #OrganizationalCulture #LeadershipDevelopment #RelationshipManagement #EmotionalIntelligence #EI #EQ #Communication #ExecutiveCoaching

I recently had the pleasure of joining Carol Hamilton on her podcast, Mission Impact, where we talked about my passion for developing new first-time leaders and the challenges they face - including delegating. What gets in the way of you delegating? Share below in the comments. 👇🏽 #leadershipcoaching #leadershipcoach #coaching #delegating #burnout

We limit these public sessions to just 16 participants so we can ensure great interaction through all of the lessons, while making sure there's plenty of opportunity for networking. About half of the seats in this final session in 2024 are spoken for so be sure to reserve a spot if an #emergingleader on your team would benefit from access to proven tools that drive #returnoninvestment #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipculture #communication

I recommend this HBR article to those interested in advancing women to leadership roles in their organizations. One caution, however - not all interventions focused on building negotiation skills recommend that women should adopt the traditional "male" model of using power to force solutions. Au contraire, the best negotiation skills training instead encourages women (and men!) to consider a more strategic approach. Successful negotiation outcomes are a result of effective planning as well as a clear understanding of the traps that can undermine success and what to do to avoid them. This is the way women can embrace their negotiation power!
