Fixing your weaknesses instead of building on your strengths is a bad idea. Trying to fix others' weaknesses instead of building on their strengths is just as bad. Yet people, schools and companies are still teaching and pursuing this strategy as if it leads to success. It doesn't. Performance matters. David Rendall and I talk about this, and a bunch of other fun stuff, on The Imperfectionist Podcast this week--check it out anywhere you listen!

In this conversation, I asked David Horsager, "Which comes first, trust or conflict?" In this episode of The Compassionate Accountability podcast you can hear his answer, and our conversation about the relationship between trust and conflict. It's an important topic because it informs where teams should focus their energy to ultimately get the results they want. Patrick Lencioni's Five Functions of a Team model says trust comes first. In my book, Conflict Without Casualties, I suggest that the purpose of conflict is to create. Mr. Lencioni, what's your perspective on this? How about others?

Check out Booklife's Professional Review of Positional Authority Ain't Leadership!! "This straight-talking, tool-packed, at times proudly impolitic handbook from behavioral scientist Gavoni (author of The 5 Scientific Laws of Life & Leadership) explores leadership as both art and science, offering practical steps, conceptual frameworks, and tools like the Performance Diagnostic Checklist, crafted for anyone wishing to improve their leadership skills. Gavoni makes the case that true leadership goes past “positional authority” and even tangible measures like exceeding sales goals or wins vs. losses. Instead, he sees it as measured by the impact those who lead have on the hearts and minds of those who look to them to be roused to that elusive next level. With a nod towards behavioral-analyst pioneer B. F. Skinner, Gavoni notes that when faced with a leadership conundrum, there are three basic courses of action: accept the status quo, try to change it, or walk away. It’s the second option that provides the impetus for the book. Gavoni persuasively describes effective leadership as “a dance of balance and precision, akin to traversing a high wire.” Leaders, he argues, should positively contribute to the greater good, with each decision and action nurturing a “culture of trust, collaboration, and collective excellence. With clarity, evidence, and more rigor than many titles in the genre, Gavoni lays out practical steps leaders can take to achieve that goal: understanding one’s limitations while finding ways to surpass them, setting reasonable goals, managing boundaries, keeping communication open, giving credit, remaining unselfish, and maintaining behavior accountability, including for those at the top. Gavoni also advocates for “quick wins” that set a positive tone while encouraging momentum and cohesiveness, and establishing clear paths to victory to improve the chance for group success and set the stage for meeting greater goals. For all the striking, research-backed insights, Gavoni’s tone bounces from serious to crass—he’s fond of the capped, half-censored term “A$$ CLOWNS”—which may put off some readers. A glossary, checklists, and a heartfelt epilogue all add to the book’s value and utility. Takeaway: Persuasive, pragmatic guide to encouraging, effective leadership. https://lnkd.in/ews3HAVQ

“Coaching is not therapy but can be therapeutic.” ―Thomas Leonard Mental health is pervasive. It touches every aspect of every life, and physicians are not immune to that. Therapy and coaching provide support, guidance, and a safe space for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery. Investing in our personal growth and mental well-being empowers us to overcome challenges, cultivate self-awareness, and lead more fulfilling lives. In this episode of Doctors Living Deliberately, Dr. Arpita Gupta DePalma, MD, FAAP, TIPC and I talk with Dr. Priya Wagle about how coaching and therapy share common ground, can intersect in their approach, and how each can be incredibly beneficial.

Here are a few questions commonly asked by team coaches that may be brought to our monthly team coaching consultation calls. What to do when: 🔎 A potential client asks for team building yet you suspect another team development modality, such as team coaching, would be of more use. 🔎 There’s a conflict within the team that needs to be addressed during the team coaching. 🔎 You want to measure the effectiveness of the team coaching process. So, what to do?   With the complexity of team coaching, any and all questions and curiosities are welcome in these monthly conversations. Our next one is coming up on Tuesday, June 18th >> https://lnkd.in/gRPwHPbE

We are in a time of significant #shift. There are many of us wanting to connect more deeply to our #spirituallineage and #roots or having the desire to identify and heal blocks. I love doing #guidedvisualizations for this purpose. So I offer a 1.5 hour one-on-one guided visualization where you have the opportunity to connect deeply with yourself or with your #guides for any of the following purposes: * To access your #Innerpower and discover ways to live into it more fully. * To access your hidden or forgotten #talents and #gifts. * To meet a past and/or #futureself for guidance, messages or gifts. * To meet your #spiritguides, #poweranimals, #ancestors and ask them for guidance, messages or gifts. The Process This is not me relaying information to you. This is a #collaborativeprocess where I provide structure through the #visualization, you tune into what is emerging for you and we have conversations to stay tuned into what is true in the moment. You walk away with a greater sense of #empowerment, #healing and #connection. Reach out if you want to take part in this process. More details, fees and a link to register for an appointment are in the link. #energywork #EnergyHealing #SpiritualJourney https://lnkd.in/eKQqUNGD

This book isn't what you'd expect but on #Juneteenth it's very appropriate. Here's a little about the book: A bit of humor goes a long way in helping people buy into tough concepts and this book proves that! Would the world be better if we were all alike? Revealing the downsides of the diversity that most people try to ignore (yes, you read that title correctly... we're talking about the downsides of diversity) provides the reader with an honest, no holds barred discussion about diversity that most people try to avoid. If we’re honest, we all know that #diversity, #equity, #inclusion, #access, and social justice have become buzz words these days and like many industry buzz words, not everyone agrees on their meaning or value. Here's what some people had to say about it. “I must admit, as a DEI Executive, the title and premise of this book left me more than a little concerned but having read it cover to cover I must admit…I get it and I agree. Christy managed to take a very sensitive and complex issue and break it down where everyone can understand. I highly recommend sharing this with your entire team so you can have a full and complete diversity discussion.” Brandi Riggins, PHR, CCDP “I’ve known and worked with Christy for years and I must admit, I didn’t see this book coming. I knew her to be a passionate diversity professional but after reading this book from cover to cover I can honestly say, she helped me understand the pros and cons of diversity in a new way. I will absolutely use this information to help transform my organization!” Shavonne L. Dargan https://lnkd.in/gS-BAraZ

As coaches, we often want to help our clients as much as possible. But what happens when we cross the line from guiding to suggesting, advising, or even motivating? These actions, though well-intentioned, can diminish a client’s autonomy and hinder their growth. Instead, consider the power of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) in your coaching practice. By understanding and respecting the diverse cultural backgrounds of your clients, you can create an environment where they feel truly seen and heard. This approach empowers clients to tap into their own resources, making the solutions they find more meaningful and sustainable. Want to explore how cultural intelligence can elevate your coaching practice? Our mentor coaching program, starting this September, will dive deep into these principles. We only have a few spots left—let’s connect to see how this program can support your journey. Let’s chat! #culturalintelligence #culturebias #mentorcoaching
