Attitude is everything! I could have called this Intent is everything but I like the flying link in and we all want to fly high. How do you approach the day when you wake up in the morning? It's so easy to wake up tired, start thinking of what you have to do that day and think 'oh no, not another day!' Well, how you approach the day has a massive effect on how you handle the day and how you succeed that day. Our brains are amazing, but they can also be easily tricked. We create our feelings by our thoughts so the thinking at the beginning of the day can create how we feel that day. And how you feel is what helps you win or lose the day. I'm sure you've heard of using the Superman pose for when you need to have some self belief going into something. Meetings are the same. The attitude you have towards them affects how well they go. the intent makes a difference. Just as importantly, the purpose of the meeting is key. When you have a purpose for you meeting, you set an intent. This makes you feel more confident about the meeting which allows you to have the best attitude. You will then bring that attitude into the meeting which creates a much better environment. Wouldn't it be great if you could pivot from meetings to a more effective way of getting things done. How would that change your attitude? That's exactly what a workshop is. It brings purpose and engagement to meetings and works towards leaving with an action plan. A master facilitator can bring exactly this to you. How good would that be? #facilitator #attitude

Transitioning into a new space, whether physical or metaphorical, can be a subtle yet profound shift for participants in any session or workshop. This transition is not just about moving from one task to another; it's an opportunity to mentally prepare and connect with the upcoming experience. Facilitators play a crucial role in guiding this shift, using tools like one-word check-ins to help participants express their current state and set aside distractions, thereby fostering a more present and engaged mindset. These initial moments of connection are critical. They allow individuals to acknowledge their thoughts and feelings, creating a shared understanding that enhances collective focus. This practice not only benefits the participants by grounding them in the present but also offers insights to facilitators, enabling them to tailor the session more effectively to the group's energy and dynamics. Moreover, this process of connecting at the beginning of a session acts as a bridge, helping participants cross over from their diverse backgrounds and experiences into a unified effort towards the session's goals. It lays the foundation for a session where engagement is high, and contributions are meaningful, driven by a sense of shared purpose and understanding. How do you facilitate this transition in your sessions or workshops? Do you have any particular practices that help participants connect with the space, the content, and each other? Sharing your experiences can offer valuable insights to others striving to enhance their facilitation skills. #WorkshopFacilitation #MindfulMeetings #EngagementStrategies

How do you talk to yourself when you make mistakes, get things wrong, fail or do not get the outcomes you hoped for? Do you create an environment within yourself of fear, self-criticism and anxiety? And what do you think the results of that might be to your confidence, your relationships, your business and your life? What if you were to cultivate an environment within yourself of kindness, compassion, self-respect and empowerment when things did not go to plan? How might that impact how you felt about yourself, your clients and your business? This difference in impact from fear and empowerment is what we will be exploring when I’m in the hot seat on March 21st leading an interactive business networking session with Drive, The Collaborative Network where I’ll be talking about moving past harsh self-judgement and into kinder ways to be with yourself. The Session Come along to this interactive session and practice being kinder to yourself. You'll also have the opportunity to chat with fellow SME business owners, share your challenges and discuss how to apply what you’ve learned. The Details This Thursday 21st March 10am (GMT) Register here - https://lnkd.in/eA5hBnKU About Drive A unique online business community with support and collaboration at the heart of everything that happens within it.

I’ll be honest, I’ve worked in the energy sector on and off for two decades. And a lot of it is boring. 🥱 Vast structures that I’ve never been invited offshore to visit. Highly technical “stuff” that people discuss in detail. And a unique culture that comes from living and working in close quarters. I’ve learned a lot since my first boss at Wood Group Gordon Stirling drew diagrams to help me understand…. but I’ve never buzzed from excitement for the industry. Whether it’s in my comms career, or more recently, facilitating leadership training for a global renewables company (current count 530 people trained!), the buzz comes from the people. Humans are fascinating 🧐 My job as a facilitator is to find the wee seed in the forest of detail and to create a space to think about things differently. 🌱 That’s where my experience as a comms manager is useful- a natural curiosity to find the seed of the story, or how to seed a message to make it grow with the audience. (Hence our infinity logo. ♾️!) Whether it’s renewable energy, accountancy, software or enzymes… we never get bored of our clients as we’re powered by our curiosity to find out WHY…. Do you need a bit of help to find your why? Are you getting lost in the detail and want to find your seed? 🌱 Collaborative Communications (CoCo) CoCo Comms is Hannah Reynolds CoCo Coaching is me! (Thanks as always Thomas Lahnthaler - you always get me thinking, especially with my Monday morning coffee! ☕️) #development #facilitation #creativecomms #storytelling

Sometimes, facilitation is boring. And that’s ok. That would be a flat-out lie if I claim that I am never bored when I facilitate. In the beginning, I felt (secretly) bad about it. I tried hard to focus and somehow find excitement for what was happening before me. The thing is, this isn’t always possible. Sometimes, discussion are seemingly repetitive and things are moving slowly. Sometimes, things are predictable. Sometimes, the participants discuss internals, technicalities, and concepts that I have little or no relation to or interest in, and that’s not going to change because I try harder. It also costs energy, which I could instead save for other situations. The most common pitfall is, however, to think that nobody else does just because I don’t find what’s happened super exciting. Sometimes, that’s excactly what they need to get ready for the next step. Sometimes participants are super engaged and energetic when they get onto their turf. It’s only you who struggles to follow. There is a silver lining in this, as in almost everything. The art in such situations is to refocus and examine the dynamic and the information these situations provide about the participants and yourself. Get clarity on why you are bored and learn from what’s happening in the room rather than what’s being said. Like in any other job, I don’t need to be constantly super excited by what’s going on to be doing a good job. We cannot like everything that’s happening at any time. And that’s ok. Enjoy. #facilitationhacks #facilitationskills #facilitation #humandynamics

"Ever feel recharged after a great conversation?" I had one of those conversations that leaves you energized and inspired. 💡 It's amazing how a simple exchange of ideas can turn into a catalyst for growth, both personally and professionally. Alexandra Martinet hosted me at LinkedIn's office, and I love how the open layout with private corners, the workout floor with a gym, and the internal “kopitiam” create a warm and inclusive atmosphere. Alex and I are both pursuing Bailey Balfour Coach Certification program now. Aside from the fantastic office, we discussed challenges, shared insights, and brainstormed opportunities for #coaching. Here are 3 key takeaways for me: - Keep an Open Mind: Fresh viewpoints can spark creativity and lead to breakthrough ideas. - Stronger Connections: Genuine conversations, active listening and being present to build trust and foster deeper relationships. - Personal Growth: Learning from others’ experiences helps us grow and adapt in an ever-changing world. Never underestimate the impact of a meaningful conversation, both at work and personally. It’s not just about talking; it's about connecting, learning, and evolving together. Let's keep the dialogue going and continue to inspire each other! 💬✨ #Coaching #GrowthMindset #Professionaldevelopment #CareerDevelopment

Communication is a power to connect or disconnect in any situation. Learning how to authentically connect with another human being creates opportunities for exponential personal and professional growth. We have to work through that Awkward Zone of how and when, know how to #ShowUp and be present for someone, then follow up intentionally to foster that connection. This may feel daunting yet it is physiologically embedded to do this. Start today by choosing 3 people to reach out to and connect with. Maybe someone you keep meaning to talk to or someone you haven’t texted back and want to. Showing Up workshops focus on development of these skills for social intelligence and effective, meaningful connections. Dates still available for 2024! #leadershipdevelopment #workforce #connection #creatingcomfort #socialwork
