24.01.2022 FAILURES? Failure, mistakes, mishaps - they're all a form of feedback to help us onto the path of improvement, growth and development. Did you know that when you are developing a new skill that the point of frustration is an indicator that you are about to have a BREAKTHROUGH. #connectedleader #connectedteam #culturetransformation #betterteams #betterleaders #integrityiseverything #leadbravely #valuesinaction #purposecentred #valuesdriven #cleariskind #whoyouareishowyoulead

24.01.2022 Happy Friday....I went to a workshop yesterday about perfectionism...

23.01.2022 Does the thought of giving feedback to your team members fill you with anxiety and dread? In the last few months I have been supporting leaders and managers in their performance management and annual performance appraisal process, and the question I get asked most is how did you get confident giving feedback to your staff? They would tell me about times when they’ve had to talk to a member of their team about poor performance at work, and always about how much they drea...ded it. They would tell me about how much time they spent worrying about what they were going to say, how they were going to say itand even if they would actually say what needed to be said. And then, on the other side, you have the employee who is dreading it just as much! They’re worried about getting a bad rap, some nasty little surprise, or wondering if they’ve done enough, if their work performance was good enough. It doesn’t make for a very positive experience, does it? In my latest blog I give tips on how to give feedback to team members with confidence. You can read it here: https://newskyconsulting.com.au/giving-feedback-to-team-me/ #teamwork #feedback #CEO #SmallBusiness #leadership #employeeengagement

23.01.2022 Success is a funny thing....it can mean so many different things to different people. As a leader, I think its fundamentally important to be successful in the way that Maya Angelou describes.... This definition of success is anchored in self leadership, that sense of self beyond ego. What do you think?

23.01.2022 EMPATHY - is a top priority with your people. Right now, you need to practice social not emotional - distancing. Amid the ever-changing chaos, your team deserves an empathetic leader who deeply understands what individual people are going through. Making the right managerial and executive decisions are challenging enough during good times and even harder amid a global pandemic. https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/349575

20.01.2022 Its Friyay - and this guy just makes me smile!

18.01.2022 There's less than 9 weeks till Christmas - there I said it! Sorry! But I can't help it, because now is the time of year that your people start to f-a-d-e....ESPECIALLY after the year we're all having! Now is the time to really look at the energy of the people in your team...ask questions..AND start thinking about how you want them to walk into 2021. Have you thought about giving dedicated time and space to get together and set the scene for the new year? ... Get in touch with me to find out how to wrap up this bizarre, gut wrenching, exhausting year, and get your team ready to embrace 2021.

17.01.2022 Had great fun presenting at BNI Accelerate - Ipswich today, sharing with them my all time favourite profiling tool for individuals, teams and organisations! I wonder what profile they all thought they might be?

17.01.2022 A big part of being a great leader is the ability to give AND receive feedback, and make no mistake, it is a SKILL.

15.01.2022 Mask? No problem - still got my sparkle on! And yes, There’s a smile on my dial Julie Cross

15.01.2022 Did you know that everything begins with a thought, which grows into an idea....and the LAST PLACE it shows up is in the PHYSICAL realm. That's why what you THINK becomes your reality. It's a powerful concept, and reminds us to be conscious of our thinking always. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #businessleaders #businessleader #businessleadership #womenleaders #womenleadership #leadershiptips #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinessowner

13.01.2022 Disconnection in the workplace leads to disinterest. The customer feels this lack of interest and genuine care; they start to seek alternate brands, services and products that they know, like and can trust. It is the role of leaders to create organisations that do what they say they do, that what happens internally is true to the message and brand we present externally, and where the customer experience meets the promise.... Whilst the current state of employee engagement is considerably low based on global studies, there are steps Leaders and business owners can take to remedy, avoid and turn around disengagement. Here is one of them #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #businessleaders #businessleader #businessleadership #womenleaders #womenleadership #leadershiptips #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinessowner

11.01.2022 Feedback, asking and telling, is how we reduce our blind spots - that which is unknown to us, but known to others. We all have them, blindspots. I wonder what yours is? Do you know? #connectedleader #connectedteam #culturetransformation #betterteams #betterleaders #integrityiseverything #leadbravely #valuesinaction #purposecentred #valuesdriven #cleariskind #whoyouareishowyoulead

08.01.2022 Are you considering redundancies for any of your staff due to the impact of COVID? Then you might want to take a few minutes to read this article. COVID has not resulted in changes to how redundancies are required to be implemented under employment law. ... Before you take that leap, make sure you have: - CONSULTED with your people - Be CLEAR that the employee's role is no longer required to be performed by anyone because of operational requirements of the business - DUE PROCESS is followed in accordance with your employees AWARD/AGREEMENT and treatment is FAIR - not harsh, unjust or unreasonable. - DOCUMENT and record the process taken. Don't get caught "unawares".... https://www.hrmonline.com.au//covid-law-unfair-dismissals/

07.01.2022 So the question begs.... what is your dream life? We're quick to imagine holidays, luxury, dream locations, and all sorts of things that we currently, maybe, don't already have. I think the life of our dreams is much more than this. I believe living the life of our dreams is more about living a life of meaning. Of what's important to you. Of making a difference - to someone, something. Relevance. Significance. Impact. Call it what you will....... It's that inner knowing and peace that comes with contribution, connection, trust and confidence. What is your dream life? #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #businessleaders #businessleader #businessleadership #womenleaders #womenleadership #leadershiptips #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinessowner

07.01.2022 I am so freaking proud and excited for my friend Kathy Rees on the release of her first book COURAGEOUS AUDITING - beyond compliance. Kathy's contribution and influence in the disability sector and in the lives of people with disabilities is phenomenal, and she has been my mentor and friend for well over twenty years. She herself is courageous, and this book is beyond a boring tick and flick, like we think of audits, to getting to the heart of making real change that matter...s for people with disabilities. Its an insightful, reflective and thought-provoking read for both emerging and established quality system Auditors. Kathy challenges you to think beyond compliance to the space of VALUE and challenges auditors to evolve and step up. And I just love her! Its already available on Amazon, and you can pre-order a hard copy from her website www.onlyaboutquality.com.au And now, we're off to pop the cork on some champagne!!! https://www.amazon.com.au/Courageous-Auditing//ref=sr_1_1

05.01.2022 Some lovely words from my super talented website developer, and some equally lovely words ABOUT my website developers fabulous services that I wrote !

05.01.2022 COVID'S EFFECCT ON WORKPLACE CULTURE. It might not be what you think it is. AHRI’s COVID-19’s impact on culture report said COVID-19 has forced their organisation to see, think, feel, plan and act differently. Things like values and purpose are fairing well, and even though employees feel their leaders are well equipped to handle the crises, what they need more of is compassion and empathy. This means demonstrating vulnerability and transparency.... So my question to you as Leader is, how are showing compassion with your people during these times, and what difference has it made to the human experience as well as organisational performance? https://www.hrmonline.com.au//covid-19s-impact-workplace/

05.01.2022 Confidence. We all want it. Do you know, truly know, and understand the value you bring just simply by being you? Do you know where you provide the greatest value? When you do its easier to feel confident, and to step into your natural talent, your natural leadership style. And you can recognise the value in others too, then more readily support them to be their best.... The conscious, whole hearted, brave leader understands their personal value. #leadership #smallbusinessowner #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipquotes #leadershipcoach #leadershipcoaching #womenleaders #womenleadership #leadershiptips

05.01.2022 HOW TO RUN A VIRTUAL MEETING Virtual meetings don’t have to be seen as a waste of time. In fact, they can be more valuable than traditional face-to-face meetings. Beyond the fact that they’re inexpensive ways to get people together think: no travel costs and readily available technology they’re also great opportunities to build engagement, trust and candor among teams. https://hbr.org/2015/03/how-to-run-a-great-virtual-meeting... #connectedleader #connectedteam #culturetransformation #betterteams #betterleaders #integrityiseverything #leadbravely #valuesinaction #purposecentred #valuesdriven #cleariskind #whoyouareishowyoulead
