Coaching

In a recent Minute with Maxwell message, John defined a coach as “…someone who can come  alongside of you and can correct you without criticizing you in a way that is negative in your life.  A coach is a word that means ‘come alongside’.  Come alongside and share together, teach, listen and lead.”  My coaching involves the ability to understand you: to live where you live, think how you think, and understand your perspective.  From this benchmark, I will place another perspective on top of yours stretching and growing you to gently see a different way.  As a certified John Maxwell coach, I can see what you are going through and things you are going to go through. Coaching is foreseeing, paving the way, coming alongside and adding value to you.

  • What are you doing to invest in yourself?
  • What are you doing to invest in others?

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”
Albert Einstein

Group – small setting onsite or via webinar and video technology

When I am working in a group setting, although it’s not singular in nature, having the entire group’s input in thinking magnifies the richness of the discussions and results in developing solutions that are above and beyond what any individual can create.  The cohesive bond that is formed empowers each person to develop the leader within and shine in a safe environment that nurtures the group as a whole. It is an experience unlike any other and follows the same premise as an academic think tank.

The goal of coaching is the goal of good management – to make the most of an organization’s valuable resources.
Harvard Business Review

Between 25% to 40% of Fortune 500 companies use executive coaches.

Leaders are more powerful role models when they learn than when they teach.

Your leadership characteristics are the sum of your personality, habits, behaviours and attitude

Here we identify the most important leadership characteristics and how you can develop your leadership character.

When we started using the game of golf as our classroom to develop leadership we noticed a similarity between the way people play golf, and their leadership characteristics.

Originally, we created nicknames for our participants as an easy means of communication between us trainers. The nicknames not only stuck, it spurred me to delve in and research. What I found was that there were 9 major styles of golfer that corresponded with their leadership nature. For example, the golf “Conqueror” – the guy (and it was usually a guy) who smacks the ball as a far as possible and uses the biggest baddest club in the bag… well, he was just like that as a leader.

We identified nine different character types and with a little imagination created the “9 Character’s of Leadership.

Nine Leadership Characters

Take our free quiz and find out your leadership characteristics now There are nine main ‘styles’ of leadership – the 9 Characters.

By ‘style’, I do not mean to refer to an individual’s personality or their innate character as though this were true. I am, instead, referring to the way in which you perform at your best and most naturally – which may represent your true personality – best to ask your spouse or a close friend who knows you in many other situations as well. This is your character paradigm.

We’ll consider each of the characters or styles in turn, pointing out the dominant leadership characteristics displayed and consider a few well known business leaders who fit each style. Your job is to identify your own style amongst these nine – finding the one which most accurately matches your approach to leadership.

This isn’t about choosing the style you think that you ‘should’ have, or would like to have. This is about understanding where you are now, and knowing that if you lead in this style, it will be the most comfortable. Later you can consider how to compensate for the weaknesses in your leadership.

Your leadership charcater is the combination of your technical competency (how well you do the leadership Skills) and your leadership advantage (have developed the Leadership Qualities).

The Clumsy Leader – where we all start

The Clumsy Leader is where we all start !

Am I a clumsy leader?

Everyone is a clumsy leader at first and there is no shame in being here. In fact some leaders stay here their entire lives and still manage to succeed.

We all start at the bottom left corner! Low technical aptitude, and low attitude or leadership advantage.

I hear often about “natural born leaders” – usually from the same people who believe that leadership cannot be developed (and when I dig deeper, I find that these same people are not ‘natural born leaders’ and cannot be bothered to put in the effort to actually develop their leadership thus, leadership is ‘natural’ becomes the excuse.)

Let me put my stake in the ground here.

No-one is a born leader!
