🌟 Join me at EXCELerate2024 Conference for a crucial discussion on April 25th from 3:00-4:30pm! 🌟 As we navigate the complexities of modern life, the intersections between our professional and personal spheres become increasingly apparent. That's why I'm thrilled to moderate the upcoming session: "Parallel Paralysis in the Boardroom & the Bedroom: Overcoming the 2 Biggest Barriers to the Successful Pursuit of our Passions​." Our esteemed speakers, Dr. Carolin Klein and Shahana Alibhai, will delve into the parallels between the challenges women face in male-dominated workplaces and those encountered in shame-dominated cultural narratives around sex. From navigating societal expectations to managing stress, shame, and anxiety, we'll explore how these factors impact not only our careers but also our intimate relationships and overall well-being. This session isn't just about identifying barriers; it's about empowering ourselves to overcome them. Together, we'll uncover strategies for breaking free from parallel paralysis and embracing fulfillment in both the boardroom and the bedroom. Don't miss out on this transformative conversation! Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 25th, and join us at EXCELerate2024 Conference in person or virtually. Haven't registered yet?

The "right to disconnect" movement is gaining traction globally, with Australia joining France, Italy, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Portugal and the Canadian province of Ontario in passing legislation to empower employees to switch off outside of working hours. But is legally banning after-hours communications the solution? Or is there a better way to change a work culture where employees are expected to be available and responsive around the clock? #organization #leadership #companyculture #workplace #disconnect #righttodisconnect #managementbyexample #worklifebalance

Great short read about creating the psychological safety in teams to have honest and meaningful conversations. An interesting thought: start with permission to lead and facilitate the dialogue…

⭐️The Power of Saying NO 🚫✨ “What you tolerate, you worry about.” Do you ever find yourself saying “yes” to everything at work (or life in general), only to feel overwhelmed and stretched too thin? 🤯 How many times we find ourselves struggling to prioritize tasks while keeping our energy levels and quality of deliverables high?! Everything seems urgent and important, with deadlines looming. Plus, in the case of my team, we love what we do and often get carried away brainstorming fun ideas. 😅 Seeing our struggle last week, we took a moment during the weekly meeting to recalibrate. We reminded ourselves of the importance of setting boundaries and shared a powerful TED Talk on the topic. Practical Tips: 🌟 Have your priorities well defined and stick to them. Knowing what matters most helps you make informed decisions. 🚫 Don’t feel bad if you need to say no, delegate, or negotiate a deliverable. It’s about managing your workload effectively. 🔍 Evaluate your commitments: Regularly assess what and who you are tolerating in your life. 💪 Own your decisions: Stand by your choices and prioritize your well-being. ❗ Remember: “What you tolerate, you worry about.” ❗ By saying no, we create space for what truly matters. And here’s the link to the video that inspired us last week: • TED Talk: https://lnkd.in/eh3KqEU8 How do you handle overwhelming tasks and prioritize your workload? Share your thoughts below! 👇 My team Dara Flores and Adriana Forino would love to hear your experience. #SelfImprovement #WorkLifeBalance #Productivity #Leadership #Prioritization

Top 5 tips for embracing a change Change is constant - be it #strategy, #transformation, #organisational or #waysofworking. Here are my top 5 habits I regularly practice: ♾️ Adaptability unlocks all: See the opportunity in the #change. Embrace the as yet unknown and be open to exploring the opportunities. 🪞 Really reflect: Be radically honest as you connect in on your #interests and #skills, where you have most enjoyed your work if it is changing and what cultures you thrive in. What does the mirror tell you? 🔬 Get under the microscope: Explore the often unseen…. your aspirations, #motivations and #values. What’s wriggling about that you can’t see at eye level? What if you focused here? 🐝 Be with your people: Transitions can range from exhilarating to challenging. Connect with your tribe of #mentors, #friends and #peers. Both their advice and encouragement makes a difference. 💉Take your own medicine: If you have the privilege of supporting others, such as being a mentor, a #manager or a #leader, listen to the advice you give or have given to others. It is so often what you could also tell yourself. Good luck on your journey! #leadershiphabits

Difficult conversations can be challenging, triggering strong emotions and potentially escalating into unpredictable or unsafe situations as tensions mount. Mishandling these discussions can harm work relationships and leave individuals feeling uncertain. Recognizing and regulating emotions is crucial in determining the perceived difficulty of situations. By shifting mindset to believing in one's ability to navigate tough conversations, individuals can enhance their capacity to listen empathetically and convey challenging information with finesse and diplomacy. 😊

In 1963, Rosenthal and Jacobson conducted a study at an elementary school south of San Francisco. They administered IQ tests to students and randomly labeled some of them as “academic bloomers” to their teachers, despite there being no correlation between the IQ results and the academic bloomer designation. By the end of the year, the students who were labeled as having higher IQs achieved better results. This study illustrates the Pygmalion effect; a phenomenon where people perform better when greater expectations are placed on them. Unconsciously, teachers may have provided the supposed academic bloomers with more personal interactions, extensive feedback, and more approval. What teachers did unconsciously with students they believed were gifted, coaches do consciously with their clients. It’s not just about demonstrating supportive behavior; it starts with the belief that our coachees have talent, potential, and resources. This mindset drives supportive and empathetic behavior, making a significant difference. This perspective is important to me as a mother, a manager, a trainer, and a coach. While these roles involve different settings, they all share the common goal of helping others thrive and believing in their inherent capabilities. In April 2024, I earned my certification in the ICF-certified ROOT coaching program from Coaching Square Switzerland. The training included group sessions, individual coaching, supervision, peer group exercises, and a very interesting integration work. While all coaching programs cover the basics of questioning, listening, and structure, this program introduced me to a lot of tools from different methodologies that can unlock situations or provide deeper insights. I am grateful to my fellow participants; learning is not as effective without the social part of it! Thanks to the trainers Carole Warlop, Sebastien Vaneberg, Nadja Birbaumer, Joëlle Monard Prost, for sharing your expertise, your feedback, and helping us thrive! #coaching, #growthmindset

Are any other business leaders concerned about the talk of deporting all undocumented workers. In 2021 there were 7.8MM such workers. While this has probably grown let's simply assume this number. IF we were to deport these workers, it would almost double the number of current open jobs, including adding a number of necessary but undesirable jobs into the mix. Employers would face fierce wage pressure, the least desirable jobs would suffer shortages and inflation would reignite. Business leaders need to tell their elected representatives to stop with the sound bites and come up with a realistic immigration policy that attracts needed younger workers and keeps the 7.8MM we have now here.
