It's here!!! I am so excited to finally make this program public. The LMI team has worked tirelessly on this because we know that it is needed now more than ever. Statistics show the following trends of the need for this program: •Managers account for 70% of employee engagement variance •1 out of every 2 employees has left a job due to a manager •Those who receive daily feedback from manager are 3x more likely to be engaged than those who do once a year •Meaningful feedback provided to employees leads to 3.5x more engagement on average •42% of employees report having the opportunity to provide any feedback to their manager •60% of managers say they are NOT expert at developing employees and helping them •60% of managers think they are doing a good job of recognizing their team’s work but only 35% of employees share the same sentiment •Only 20% of employees say they receive feedback weekly, compared with 50% of managers reporting they deliver it weekly •Leaders are 56% more likely to experience extensive disruptive change in their organization than individual contributors •Managers are more likely than non-managers to be disengaged at work, burn out, and look for a new job •Those who trust their managers were 4.5x more likely to be engaged and 62% less likely to feel burnt out at work •High-performing companies are 5.2x more likely to invest in development coaching and 10.3x more likely to train and incentivize their managers to be coaches Development Coaching in Businesses provides the following results: •1.4x more likely to exceed financial targets •2x more likely to delight customers •3.2x more likely to be a place where employees grow, develop, and unleash their full potential •6x more likely to build skills needed for career growth •3.2x more likely to engage and retain employees •3x more likely to adapt well to change •2x more likely to innovate effectively If you want to better coach and empower your team members, then this is for you.

Feedback is a gift! I am a fan of embracing the mindset that constructive criticism is critiquing with the intention of building on something good. And as my friend Dr. Nicole Whitehead, Ed.D, MBA, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CDE says, if feedback is handed to you on a stinky garbage can lid, resist the urge to snap back. Check out my insights and more in this Lessons in Leaderships playlist with Carrie Phillips, Ed.D. on the Enrollify Network! https://lnkd.in/eZDW6eMC

As a leader, the impact you leave behind is as important as the goals you achieve. Legacy building is about creating a sustainable influence that goes beyond the position you hold, and leaves your mark on the organization long after you’ve moved on.

Generic self-development coaching is hardly comparable to Emotional Intelligence executive coaching for leadership or physician burnout. For executive coaching services procured by organizations like Loudoun County, the payee (coaching firm) typically proposes pricing structures and rates, which the contracting organization negotiates and agrees upon. Specifically, the RFP requires the coaching firm to provide the cost to administer 360 leadership assessments for around 100 leaders. Cost for group assessment interpretation sessions for groups of up to 20 leaders Hourly rate for individual coaching services. The organization will be billed for any other expenses. This indicates that while the coaching firm proposes pricing, the contracting organization has the final say in determining reasonable rates for the required services. The results do not explicitly differentiate between life coaching for personal development and executive/leadership coaching. However, it is sensible to expect pricing structures to differ based on the coaching objectives, target audience, and specific services provided. Organizations would likely negotiate appropriate rates commensurate with the value and complexity of the coaching engagement. In summary, while the payee (coaching firm) can propose pricing, the contracting organization ultimately determines reasonable rates for the coaching services based on their requirements and budget constraints. In contrast, generic coaching for personal development is unlikely to produce the level of income that is typical for niche coaching for leadership, burnout or disruptive behavior.

Leveraging the Mentorship Factor for Effective Book Writing Dr. Michael Koku, November 2024 Author’s Forum. The Mentorship Ripple Effect: A Legacy of Growth Mentorship is more than guidance—it's a catalyst for transformation. By gaining wisdom and support from a mentor, you become empowered to inspire others. In book writing, this ripple effect turns your words into a legacy, impacting countless lives. The MENTORSHIP Advantage Using the sticky acronym MENTORSHIP, mentorship becomes a powerful tool for crafting your book: *M = Motivation: Mentors ignite the spark that pushes you beyond writer’s block and self-doubt, fueling your passion and purpose. *E = Expanded Perspectives: Mentors help you see through diverse lenses, enriching your narrative with depth and empathy. *N = Networking Opportunities: Mentors connect you with agents, editors, and publishers, opening doors you can’t alone. T = Transfer [Wisdom Transfer]: Mentors share proven strategies and insights, equipping you with tools to excel. *O = Observation: By observing mentors, you learn how to emulate their storytelling and publishing success. *R = Relationship: Trust and mutual respect create a safe space for growth and creative exploration. *S = Support: Mentors guide you through challenges, offering structure, clarity, and resilience. *H = Honest Feedback: Constructive critique polishes your work, elevating it to excellence. *I = Inspiration: Mentors fuel bold dreams and help you find your unique voice. *P = Personal Growth: Mentorship accelerates both your writing skills and professional confidence. Mentors: Architects of Success Mentors are your book’s architects, helping lay its foundation and shaping it into a masterpiece. As Shawn Hitchcock says, “A mentor empowers a person to see a possible future and believe it can be achieved.” Charting the Course with a Mentor Think of your mentor as your navigator, guiding you through the uncharted waters of book writing. As Denzel Washington noted, “Show me a successful individual, and I’ll show you someone with real positive influences.” With mentorship, your journey transforms from daunting to inspiring, with every step bringing you closer to success. Mentorship in book writing doesn’t just produce books; it builds legacies. #mentorship #bookwriting #mentorshipfactor #lampglobalcommunity
