You can’t learn to swim just by reading about swimming, you also need to do the practice: Using change to become stronger & more valuable, antifragile Self leadership in times of change https://wp.me/p67DJJ-1zW/

I’ve got a swimming race in 3 months. If I win I get 15k. I’ve never done this before. Here’s my plan of preparation: ~ Wait for the date of the swimming race ~ Dive into the water ~ Hope I do alright Then……..!! I’ll hire a swimming coach! I mean, a swimming coach will be useful once I get into deep water right? Ok…. Let me be blunt….. OF COURSE I’m making this story up! But this IS the reality for so many Leaders. ~ They wait until they get promoted. ~ They wait till they actually “need” it Meanwhile They’re already in the role - now trying to navigate their way through situations which require a completely new set of skills. Forget the SWOT analysis for now. Do you have the skills to: ~ Avoid burnout ~ Manage conflict ~ Present to the SLT ~ Stay calm in a crisis ~ Hold better boundaries ~ Motivate underperforming staff ~ Manage difficult team dynamics ~ Know how to deal with toxic behaviour ~ Whilst remaining inspirational to your team. So what’s my point here? If you want promotion….. Have some swimming lessons before you dive in and start the race. Ps) I thought it was quite fitting to use an old photo of me wrestling with my wetsuit before heading for winter cold water swim 🏊♀️ #confidence #coach #leadership #leadershipdevelopment

I observed something interesting (and heartening) at my daughter's swimming lesson this week. She was able to do a swimming technique independently for the first time. As soon as she did it, her swimming instructors rushed to high-five her. Soon after, the instructors high-fived each other. You could see the joy in their faces at the moment, and their brief celebration showed how much they were happy for my daughter doing well. It wasn't just that instance. Leading up this moment, they patiently persisted and encouraged my daughter to push herself and improve step by step. I could see that they were committed to her doing well. The swimming lesson wasn't just a task/job for them, it was to help their students (not just my daughter, by the way) learn and thrive in the water. This was a great example of leadership in action. Where the leaders are committed to their people's success, which means a lot to them. They celebrate with them once they get there and then help them focus on the next step. The activity then becomes so much meaningful for everyone involved. I know my daughter has started enjoying her swimming lessons since she started at this swim school. I have no doubt that this is due to the care, support and encouragement of her instructors. Isn't that what leaders in workplaces should do as well? As they care, support and encourage their people, work becomes so much more enjoyable and meaningful.

“Keep going! Keep going! Almost vacation!” These were Tes Schoutens' thoughts during her Olympic bronze-medal swimming race🥉. What she said during the interview after the race struck me. “I am most proud of how I was able to do this out of enjoyment,” she shared. Tes talked about how, over the last two years, she had been able to feel joy and have fun while swimming. Before that, she found it horrible, mostly because of the nerves. I heard more athletes mention joy as a big driver for their success during the Paris Olympics, and I thought it was such a good reminder. Yes, with hard work and discipline, most people can push through. Sometimes you need to, and for a period of time, it's manageable. But in the long term, I believe having fun and enjoying what you do is really important to sustain high-level performance. It’s one of the many reasons why I decided to start my own business and find my way back to JOY. It’s also very contagious; if you’re a leader and love what you do, this is the energy your team will feel. I’m curious to hear from you—do you ever reflect on what brings you joy in your work? Is this still part of what you do on a daily basis? If you’re ready to bring back some of that joy in your work, send me a message, and let’s talk!✉️ #Olympics #joy #coaching #leadership

Randomly saw this quote while surfing the internet for the past 30 mins! This quote strongly highlights that time is among our most precious resources ⏳, and our choices in managing it can influence our success 💡. In our personal and professional development, managing our day allows us to concentrate on what is genuinely important 🌟, enhancing our productivity and mindset 📈. Rather than allowing outside influences to control our timetable, we should focus on✅, strategize 📝, and act 🚀 to reach our objectives 🎯. Although I’m neither a perfectionist nor a saint 🙃, this quote prompted me to ponder: 'What am I currently doing?' 🤔 Let’s begin today with intention and ensure each moment is valuable! ⏰ #JimRohn #Inspiration #Leadership #Efficiency #TimeOrganization

I'm starting to love Anger I always loved that shot of adrenaline that anger gives me. That powerful kick that shoots me up to the stars. But I never liked the consequences much. Now, the last time I got angry, I felt all that energy in motion, and I said: I'm surfing this wave. And that’s how I achieved something I have kept trying for the last 6 years, in one week. What have you gained from anger? #Leadership #LeasershipDevelopment #Coaching
