25.01.2022 This weeks Power Coaching Question: I hope this finds you rested after a blessed Easter weekend celebrating the risen Christ. Last week I posed a question I hope you ask yourself and your people each week: WHAT IS GOING REALLY WELL FOR ME AT THE MOMENT? Encourage your people to share their responses and really celebrate their achievements each week.... THIS WEEK I offer you a great question to stimulate your thinking and that of your teams, and help you identify specific issues that are possible stressors...especially in these interesting times: WHAT IS KEEPING YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT??? Read on to see the strategy unfold.

25.01.2022 Over the next few weeks I am posting a series of discussion topics based on the PURPOSE to RESULTS Spectrum. When I am working with a client, and because coaching is focused on future outcomes, conversations invariably focus on one of the key areas in this spectrum. PURPOSE Ever wondered about the importance of PURPOSE or what it actually is? So often we move through life without actually sitting down and deeply considering Purpose related questions:... Why am I here? Why am I doing what I am doing? Where am I going in my work/life/faith? Am I fulfilling my purpose in life or is there something greater I am meant to be doing? Am I making the most of the time I have been given? Am I fully exercising the gifts I was created with? Why was I created the way I was? Shana Shutte (Focus on the Family) shares a great story and thoughts in her article DISCOVERING YOUR GOD-GIVEN PURPOSE. It is well worth a read at... https://www.focusonthefamily.com//discovering-your-god-gi/ There is a direct relationship between our defined sense of Purpose and the Results we are achieving. If you feel there is more you could, should or want to be achieving in your work, relationships, faith, sport or any other area of your life, a good coach can help you drill down through the Purpose to Results spectrum and achieve even more amazing things. Give me a call and lets begin the conversation about your Purpose. Be the person you were created to be!

13.01.2022 YOULL NEVER AMOUNT TO MUCH????? My Year 9 Science teacher said to me, "Young Edwards, you might as well leave school at the end of Year 9 and get an apprenticeship because you will never amount to much!" Eventually I finished Year 12, got through Uni easily and ended up teaching for 25+ years, was school Principal and Head of Primary, presented at conferences and helped other schools implement programs to improve their teaching, learning and extension opportunities. I always... wanted to go back and talk to him about his comments, but never did. Instead, I used them to motivate me to be a better teacher and to understand children and learning more fully. The longer I worked with children and adults in schools, the more I came up against issues caused by the Competence Learning Matrix, Cycle or Ladder, and it often brought back memories of my struggles in Year 9. As a school Principal I very quickly discovered that ignoring where my people were, in this matrix, with respect to any form of change or project, was to my detriment. For the next 2 weeks I want to focus on the matrix and the lessons we can learn around it...whether we are leaders, parents, husbands, wives, athletes, etc. Read on and let us learn together.

11.01.2022 So, Purpose!! In Book One of Aristotles Ethics, he considers the most vexing question we, as humans face: What is the purpose of life? He argues that everything has purpose or a goal, and concludes the purpose of human life is Eudaimonia - a construct of the common good, happiness, honour, virtue, excellence, rational action according to virtue, wisdom, pleasure from virtuous acts, wellbeing etc. My belief is simple compared to Aristotles. Of course that may have somethi...ng to do with our respective levels of intellect or the amount of time we have to sit around pondering great things! I like to think it is the latter. For me, Purpose emanates from my belief in God as the creator and my heavenly Father who deeply concerns Himself with all that I do. If my purpose is "To serve, honour and worship God in all things" it stands to reason that how I lead, communicate, make decisions, coach etc, will all have that Purpose as their foundation stone. When I work as part of a team, does my Purpose correlate with each other persons? If it does...great. But if it does not, how will my values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours correlate? They wont! And herein lies the root cause of much conflict in any team, relationship and organisation. Teams of any size need a shared Purpose to be at their most productive.

08.01.2022 This week I am all EARS. Check out this great conversation started model. Have you ever struggled to start a conversation with one of your team, especially around where they are at, how they are achieving, where they need to grow, what their goals might look like? These are tough conversations to enter. When we start talking performance, achievement, growth or improvement, most people can become a touch defensive. It depends a lot on your organisational culture and history b...ut even then, it is one of those reactions most of us have when we are under the proverbial microscope. When I did my coaching studies one of the great models we studied and practiced was one of the shortest. I have used it 100s of times and found it a great way to begin sessions with clients from those in executive leadership to people wanting to get fit. Below is the model, The EARS Model, which we studied at The Open Door Coaching Group. Notice the characteristics: Start with the positives, focus in on those and elicit plenty of details. Get people talking about what is going well, and how and why so they fully understand then reproduce the positives. People NEED TO KNOW what, how and why they are doing well. Help them reflect on how the positives have improved performance. I always ask people to rate how happy/proud/pleased they are with how far they have come, out of 10, in different areas they have identified above. Tap into their emotions and get them reflecting on what learning they have achieved. Go back to their self-rating. What could they do to raise that rating higher? Keep focus on their achievements, no matter how small. How can the individual build on their strengths and achievements to step into less comfortable areas? Ensure they take the time to share and celebrate their growth. As a leader you always have the right to bring something into this conversation! I use questions, normally ones that came up in the self-rating area, and never start with a Why?. o You said you were really happy with X. How are you going implementing Y? How would you rate yourself on that area? See more

06.01.2022 If you ever needed to see a HPT and clear purpose in action, stand where I am right now and marvel. What an incredibly well oiled machine. Super professional, incredibly calm, proficient and polite beyond all measure. Just travelled to the RBWH with a friend who is quite unwell. From the ambos onward I just marvel at how well their ER teams function. Well done public hospital staff and ambulance teams.

01.01.2022 Hi team. Sorry for the long period of silence. I have actually been busy coaching, studying, teaching, and learning the vagaries of home renovation. If you are part of the Leadership Solutions Coaching Power Coaching email group you would have been enjoying our weekly coaching, organisational culture and communication tips. Each week I want to challenge you with a POWER coaching question or topic. It will stimulate your thinking, get you self-reflecting and keep you moving f...orward towards your goals. I ask them to myself and the clients I work with. They never fail to bring greater clarity, purpose and productivity to your journey. I can assure you, you will find them informative, thought provoking and well worth implementing in your workplace with your people. Here is #1

01.01.2022 Hello all. Thanks to all those who read and shared the previous post about High Performing Teams (HPTs). Here is the second one, focusing on the first step to building a HPT or any good relationship: the vital concept of common purpose. I hope you find it thought provoking. Looking forward to your responses. Love you to like it and share it. God bless. Peter.
