In this picture these manufacturing team leads, supervisors and managers are putting their conflict resolution skills into action!

Vulnerability is a leadership superpower.   Leaders who embrace vulnerability don’t avoid tough conversations—they lean into them. This openness builds credibility and strengthens team dynamics, as seen in our work at MARVL Leadership. How do you handle difficult conversations with your team? What could vulnerability add to those discussions? #business #ceo #growth #vulerability #leadeership

In business, you’re constantly working with groups—whether it’s leading meetings, facilitating corporate discussions, or aligning teams toward shared goals. That’s why professional facilitation skills are invaluable when working with people. As a coach, I’ve found that facilitation and coaching complement each other perfectly, amplifying the impact of both approaches. Proud to share my latest certification in online workshop facilitation, further strengthening my ability to support teams and organizations effectively 👌

I have been thinking lately that business and quality are very similar phenomena when considering organizational improvement. Improving business and quality both require a holistic approach. Neither can be effectively addressed by focusing on just one part of the organization. They demand a comprehensive view that considers every aspect of the company. Both are complex challenges that require collaboration across teams and functions. The named accountability probably exists with both business and quality, but true change requires a network of people. Any thoughts or insights on this?
