💡Unlocking the Power of Peer Coaching💡 Many leaders gravitate towards one-on-one coaching, but PEER COACHING—as highlighted by the Harvard Business Review—offers unique and powerful benefits. Done effectively, peer coaching fosters REAL-TIME LEARNING, DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES, and MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY among leaders at similar levels.🤝 I believe that many organizations can cultivate a culture of growth by embracing peer coaching programs. In these groups, leaders can practice new skills, receive candid feedback, and build deeper connections. The trust and psychological safety developed in peer coaching sessions push individuals out of their comfort zones, promoting growth far beyond traditional methods.📈 #LeadershipDevelopment #PeerCoaching #TeamGrowth #Leadership #Coaching #HarvardBusinessReview #Mentorship #PeerMentors

I was recently asked, What is the difference between coaching, and other modalities of leadership such as advising, training, teaching, mentoring... Here's how I'd respond. As a leader, how do you know when coaching is the right tool for the moment? Assume that it is and give it a try - SLOW down before you impart your wisdom! 1. Set and maintain a coaching presence 2. Listen with the intent to understand, not to reply 3. Offer options without attachment 4. Wait. Use the power of silence

Attending a conference on leadership will not make a leader out of you. It is a good first step, but you still have to develop an apprentice plan that includes hands on practice, #mentoring, #coaching, and #continuous_development.

In my professional journey from healthcare to life coaching, one lesson stands out: the value of seeking support. As professionals, acknowledging when we need help and taking steps to ask for it is crucial for growth and success. Let's foster a culture where asking for support is normalized, understanding that it's integral to our personal and professional development. #Leadership #ProfessionalGrowth #SupportNetworks

If you are thinking of boosting your leadership impact by incorporating the coaching approach into your arsenal of leadership skills, you are in great hands with Jeanine and Lassi. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

We love winning, and we intensely celebrate our victories... But the truth is, the most valuable and transformative lessons, both personally and professionally, come from our mistakes and failures. Never blame yourself, feel ashamed, or get frustrated with a mistake. Instead, celebrate the learning it brings. Making mistakes is part of the human experience, and it’s undoubtedly the best teacher for growth. As one of my favorite authors, John C. Maxwell, wisely said: "Sometimes you win, sometimes you LEARN." If you're looking to deepen your development in technical leadership and learn how to turn challenges into growth opportunities, I'm here to help. In my premium group mentoring/coaching program, "Empowerment for Technical Leaders", we work together to strengthen your skills and turn every experience into a new step toward success.

Past participants have told us how beneficial the Solution-Focused approach has had on their leadership and their coaching. A director and former participant shared: “This programme has introduced a whole new paradigm of solution-focused coaching, which is much more impactful. My colleagues and subordinates have noticed the differences in the coaching sessions, where there is much more introspection that helps guide their thinking in creating achievable steps leading to their developmental goals.” Learn more about the Solution-Focused approach. We dive deeper into this and our Coach Certification programme in our recent interview with Master Coach, Simon Lee.
