Alexander Meyer auf der Heyde

What have I been up to recently you ask? Well, only a full on revamp of my coaching approach, a new business endeavour and book in the pipeline! For now, coaching: Welcome to my world of life purpose and clarity coaching! My name is Nadine Ekiya Abeng, and I will be your guide on this transformative journey. You might be wondering, ‘What exactly is life purpose and clarity coaching?’ Well, let me paint a picture for you by introducing you to the two types of clients I typically work with Navigators and Seekers. First, meet the Navigators. These individuals already have a vision for their lives. They’ve delved into books, consumed content, and have a clear understanding of their life purpose. They know the why behind their actions, and they even know how they will benefit them. Yet, despite this clarity, they struggle with consistency. They find themselves hitting roadblocks, sabotaging their progress, and losing momentum. This is where I, as your coach, come in. I illuminate the areas of your life—awareness, behaviour, thoughts, emotions—where you may be stumbling. Together, we identify the blockers and devise strategies to overcome them. Navigators often see quick results, typically within a month or six weeks, as they are already well into their journey. Now, let’s turn our attention to the Seekers. These individuals are typically yearning for something more in their lives, yet they haven’t quite pinpointed what that something is. They’re still in the phase of exploration—reading, researching, and seeking answers. My role with Seekers is to help them unravel their desires, craft a vision, and identify their values. Together, we align their actions with these values, creating a roadmap for their journey. But the work doesn’t stop there. I ensure that they stay on track, finding consistency and traction in their actions. Given the depth of exploration involved, working with Seekers typically spans 8 to 12 weeks. Whether you see yourself as a Navigator or a Seeker, my goal remains the same: to help you overcome unconscious barriers and unlock your full potential. If you’re ready to dive in headfirst, get in touch. And if you’re still exploring, take your time, relax, and soak in the content across my platforms. Either way, I’m excited to connect with you, build a relationship, and support you on your journey. So, enjoy your time here, and remember, I’m always just a message away.

My colleagues at IMD, Brenda Steinberg and Michael Watkins, published an important piece in Harvard Business Review. It is often not easy to return to the organization after a leadership program and realize that colleagues have not had the same experience and reflections. Here are a few helpful steps for a successful "reentry": 1. Anticipate reactions 2. Recognize others' contributions 3. Embrace the opportunity 4. Communicate your intentions. 5. Pace yourself. 6. Build a support network. 7. Stay the course. #leadership #execed #career #learning

Returning from a memorable European Mentoring Summit, I've had two weeks of reflection and gained fresh insights about #socialmentoring. I have - engaged in conversations with numerous individuals dedicated to supporting others. - shared our perspectives about #mentors' skills during a workshop * facilitated with Dominique Cancellieri-Decroze, Brigitte RICHE and Diane Brément. - observed #NGOs actively seeking ways to enhance mentoring impact at local and national levels. - heard commitments from public policy makers and corporate leaders. - concluded there is a palpable willingness among us to learn from academics, practitioners, and other NGOs. I'm optimistic that these collective efforts will foster the growth of mentoring. However, a question remains: How can the diverse landscape of NGOs benefit from shared learning while tailoring insights to their unique situations and ecosystems? As #consulting and #training partners, our goal is to innovate with efficient yet customised solutions. We aim to leverage technology and human interaction to empower mentors to fulfil their roles effectively. Let's explore how we can make this happen. * outcomes of the workshop can be downloaded from this post document #ems2024 Fiona Soler Harroche Matthieu Kusiak Cap mentorat Catherine THIBAUX Jennifer Petrela Paméla Rubini Christophe SIMOES Aurélie Deherve Ericka Cogne Jermaine Myrie Cecile Pierrat Schiever Elisabeth Verniers Grace Gowdy Constance de Bremond d'Ars Nicolas Desachy Therese Onderdenwijngaard Jean Rhodes

I think it's important for every trainer to be able to explain how a training is structured and what is its goal. 🤓 In this video, I took a few minutes to explain what Group Coaching for a team is, what the topics for a group coaching session in corporate could look like, and why this is important for a company's wellbeing strategy.

Digitization and digitalization are constantly mixed up. Even the spelling corrector at LinkedIn doesn't recognize the difference, as it tells me that "digitalization" is spelled wrong. But the two are fundamentally different things. Digitization is the technical step of changing analogue information into digital information - using zeros and ones to code the information. Digitalization is the organizational step of changing manual processes into digital processes - using IT software and hardware to transform processes. If we don't even get our terminology clear, then clear thinking becomes very difficult. So, let's start differentiating these two very different changes. #strategicleadership #organizationalleadership #digitalization #digitalstrategy #digitization

📣 Why to think about cultural differences? 📣 How do cultural differences enrich our lives? 📍 Why to ask questions and learn what colleagues from different cultures think? 📍 Why do great leaders take Intercultural Leadership Trainings and support their teams with Intercultural Communication Workshops? Don't take for granted you have understood what your colleagues mean. We always miss something as we use our own cultures and biases to interprete. #automotive #sales #projectmanagement #marketing

🔝🔝To me, it's fascinating to read or watch accomplished professionals talking 🎤 about their craft. From such confessions (books, written articles, or TV shows) I can extract useful things even if I'm not active in the same field as the speaker. 🥇 Well, one of the most interesting interviews I've read in recent years was the one given by a brilliant actor for The Talks website. In this interview, the real subjects are not just acting, cinema or theater but also #vocation, #perseverance, #HR and your everyday job. 👇👀 So, Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. Christoph Waltz!

The secret to organizational change? Start with the human in the mirror. In the exciting world of innovation and entrepreneurship, we often want to drive organizational change. Yet, even the most profound business transformations begin with a simple step: introspection 🔄 With SwissLEAP , I am helping our clients navigate challenges of corporate innovation, intrapreneurship, and impactful entrepreneurship. Here are some essential ingredients: 💡Start with Self-reflection: before pushing for change, look inward. Understanding your motivations and biases is crucial. It is the foundation for genuine transformation. To lead others, you need to lead yourself first, and be the change you seek. 💡Empathize and Engage: evolution doesn't happen in isolation. Engaging with team members, partners and stakeholders, understanding their perspectives, and empathizing with their challenges are key to fostering a collaborative environment. 💡Build, Measure, Learn: this lean startup mantra guides me. By focusing on rapid experimentation, measuring outcomes, and learning from each step, you can adapt and evolve with focus and flexibility - as a person, as much as a team or organization. 💡Measure What Matters: integrating/adding innovation metrics to traditional KPIs is a game-changer. It isn't just about revenue or customer numbers - you lack both in the early stages of an innovation - it is about learning velocity, increasing effectiveness of experiments and evidence of sustainable value creation. 💡Create Psychological Safety: for innovation to thrive, creating an environment where everyone feels safe to share ideas, take risks and learn from failure, is essential. This starts at the top. These principles are about cultivating a learning-enabled culture of innovation and intrapreneurship within organizations. That journey is as much about oneself as about the organization. What's your take on driving organizational change? Have you found introspection and leading by example to be effective? #InnovationLeadership #PersonalDevelopment #OrganizationalChange #LeanStartup
