During the height of the pandemic, we wondered if organizations were able to maintain trust, and if so, how they were doing that. Our research study to answer those questions was published this week in TIP. The short answer? Organizations that were offering more psychologically healthy practices and programs saw increases in org trust, more people using those programs, and better outcomes for both employees and employers. We think these findings can help organizations address how to handle the next big crisis or major change. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g8Jj6pPM

We all experience career milestones representing "firsts" or specific moments we are proud of. I had one yesterday. Last year I was offered the opportunity to author an updated version of Jeff Hiatt's book "ADKAR: A Model for Change in Business, Government and Our Community" (c) 2006. The new book, "The ADKAR Advantage: Your New Lens for Successful Change" (c) 2024, was uploaded yesterday to Prosci's commercial printer and to Amazon. It will be available for purchase in April. This new book includes additional research that validates the promise of ADKAR, application examples and success stories that demonstrate the proof of ADKAR, and the latest recommendations and guidance that advance the practice of applying ADKAR. If you are new to ADKAR or already an ADKAR enthusiast, there is something for you in this book. I hope you will check it out and be inspired, just as I was when I was first introduced to the Prosci ADKAR Model in 2006, to apply this simple yet powerful model to achieve the change outcomes you seek in your personal and professional life. The book is organized into three parts: Part 1: How One Person Makes a Change Part 2: How Groups of People Make a Change Part 3: How Organizations Become Better at Change You can learn more and sign up to be notified when the book is available here: https://lnkd.in/gehgpyaS Meanwhile, I'd love to hear your ADKAR stories or share a milestone in your career that you are proud of! #adkar #theadkaradvantage #prosci #changemanagement

🌟 Leadership Matters: A Tale of Two Approaches to Change 🌟 Change is inevitable in healthcare, especially in mental health, where we constantly strive to improve patient outcomes and clinician well-being. But how we lead through change can make all the difference. Scenario: Your organization rolls out a new mental health workflow requiring significant shifts in therapist work habits. Here's how two leaders approach the challenge: 🚩 New Leader ➡️ Sends a department-wide email outlining the changes as communicated by top leadership. ➡️ Emphasizes the strict deadline. ➡️ Provides a rigid step-by-step plan for implementation. The result? Therapists feel overwhelmed, undervalued, and resistant to the change. ✅ Seasoned Leader ✔️ Takes time to understand the why behind the change—highlighting potential benefits for patients and therapists. ✔️ Meets with team leads to explain the new workflow, ensuring clarity. ✔️ Empowers team leads to tailor the message and facilitate discussions with their teams. ✔️ Encourages open dialogue, validates concerns, and collaboratively solves problems. ✔️ Builds flexibility into the transition, respecting deadlines while accommodating unique team dynamics. ✔️ Sends a follow-up email to acknowledge short-term challenges, set a hopeful tone, and express gratitude for everyone's effort. The result? Teams feel heard, supported, and motivated to embrace the change. A willingness to endure short term adjustment for long term benefits. 🗾 How do you approach change in your organization? Let’s share strategies and insights to grow as leaders together! #EngageEmpowerInspire #LeadershipDevelopment #ChangeManagement #MentalHealthLeadership #OrganizationalDevelopment #HealthCare #OrganizationalDevelopment Image Credit: Culturro

'We model the world only for many of us to mistake our model for the world.' Jazz Rasool, 1994 Sarah Short in her post and through the comments of Dr Ruby Campbell MAICD, MScCoachPsych, MBA(Exec), PhD(Sc) attention is draw to respect how coaching governance is promoted. In the comments for Sarah's post, the role of science, especially mind-body science, was emphasised. For coaching to become a credible profession it needs to be founded on credible scientific evidence as well as aligned human coaching lived experience and models of education that are not solely western centred or sourced. Science doesn't care which coaching body you belong to or whether you are a coach, advisor, therapist or consultant. It has laws, some of which empirically have been shown to be inviolable and unbreakable like the First Law of Thermodynamics, The Law of Conservation of Energy. The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted from one form to another. The First Law is used to categorise 'the performance of cyclic conversion systems'. My own cyclic Coaching Enhanced Technology/Coaching Enhanced Technology, CET-TEC, practice is based on this fundamental law of science, on the cyclic management of energy conversion, which don't just apply to the material world but functions equally for our psyche and inner world when using the right frameworks. The Perennial Coaching Frameworks (PCF's) I work with, many of which come from non-western cultures and through methods that are thousands of years old, existed long before any governing body was set up with their set of competencies to curate some professional structure to coaching. Don't get in a fuss about which body you belong to, focus on the body of experience and evidence of sciences and methodologies that work whether we believe in them or not.

Not a term we hear a lot, but the implications of this theory for learning experience design are very practical. “Subsumption” is the process by which new information is integrated into an existing cognitive structure or knowledge framework (Ausubel, 1963). Being able to distinguish when to apply Derivative Subsumption versus Correlative Subsumption is key to creating effective learning experiences. In general, to reinforce concepts that learners have already mastered, we should leverage Derivative Subsumption by using familiar scenarios and examples. Whereas Correlative Subsumption should be used to present specific examples that expand or refine prior knowledge, introducing new updates or advanced ideas. Whether it’s scenario-based learning or real-world case studies, here are definitions, opportunities (when to use), and core design guidelines to help you strategically reinforce or refine knowledge. How are you applying subsumption theory in your learning solutions? #InstructionalDesign #training #cognitiveload #neuroscience #instructionaldesign #instructionaldesigners #elearning #elearningdesign #talentdevelopment #education #learning

The power of coaching! statistics show that coaching enhance leadership development, engagement and increase employees commitment. If you are looking to improve your skills and achieve great things make sure to work with a coach; someone that you trust, feel comfortable to speak too and who understands your needs and take you through a transformational journey.

For those on the ICF accreditation pathway, or those wanting to flex and grow their coaching muscles, I run 10 hour mentor coaching programs several times a year. 🕵️‍♀️ They comprise 3 x monthly group sessions, and 2 x 90 minute individual sessions with me. All in service of reviewing coaching, either live or recorded, and learning from it. 🎥 The course also includes a video course guiding you through the accreditation process. ✅ There is a 100% success rate from coaches going through the program for their ICF ACC credential so far. 🤩 Most importantly these groups are a warm, welcoming place to reconnect to the skills, qualities and good practices of an effective executive coach. A place to stretch yourself, and observe and discuss live coaching. And a place to match your unique identity as a coach to the ICF competency framework. January's group sessions are: January 10th, 2-430pm February 7th, 2-430pm March 7th, 2-4pm (via Zoom, UK timezone) 'There has not been one session I’ve been in where I haven’t learnt something more that I could do. Or a tweak of a word. Or a pause or a silence. It is so valuable to be able to experiment, to try without judgement and without fear'.
