People come to me with all sorts of problems and goals. But the common desire is for joy, freedom, fulfilment. The work we do in coaching can feel difficult at times, but the foundation is not complicated: do more of what makes you happy. It doesn't have to be big stuff. Small steps, small activities, little joys here and there - they add up to making you feel more content within yourself, more compassionate to yourself, like yourself and your own company a bit more. So that your happiness depends less on others, and more on what you create from inside. This is a very helpful start, with lots of little ideas you can start on right away:

When I received my PCC credentials in the year 2021 from ICF (International Coaching Federation - US) I had no clue my mindset and approach was about to experience a magical moment !!! It's been years of practice that took me to realise - "The Less is More" 😊 In the dynamic world of coaching, the notion of "doing less" may initially seem counterintuitive. After all, isn't coaching about providing guidance, strategies, and tools to help clients achieve their goals? While these elements certainly play a crucial role, the essence of effective coaching often lies in simplicity rather than complexity. At its core, coaching is about facilitating growth, clarity, and transformation in individuals. This process is not achieved by bombarding clients with a multitude of techniques or overwhelming them with information. Instead, it is about creating a space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and aspirations in a focused and meaningful way. The art of doing less in coaching is not about being passive or inactive. It is about being intentional, focused, and purposeful in every interaction with clients. By embracing simplicity, coaches can create powerful experiences that empower clients to uncover their potential, achieve their goals, and lead fulfilling lives. Hence based on my experience, I have created a group/ community for all those coaches who are new to this magical world and all the aspiring coaches who want to explore this magical world. The vision behind creating this group is to cultivate a vibrant community where coaches of all backgrounds and specialties come together to grow, learn, and innovate. I aim to foster a supportive environment where members can share knowledge, exchange ideas, and mentor one another to elevate their coaching practices.

What's the difference between "kind" and "wicked" learning environments and why is it important understand in business and leadership? RIP Robin Hogarth (July 1942 - April 2024) who introduced the concept of "kind" and "wicked" learning environments to differentiate the contexts in which people acquire knowledge and skills. In 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, like chess, mathematics, and sports like golf, the rules are clear, feedback is immediate and accurate, and the same actions consistently lead to the same outcomes. This predictability allows for learning and mastery through practice and repetition (and is where much of the academic and popsci literature on mastery focuses). 𝗪𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 on the other hand, include business, leadership, and investing, are characterized by ambiguity, delayed or misleading feedback, and ever-changing conditions. Actions do not always produce consistent results, making it difficult to learn the correct lessons. Whilst there is, of course, crossover and multi-disciplinary lessons to be learned, it's in wicked learning environments that analogies like 'CEO's as elite athletes' start to break down. Such leaders have to navigate uncertainty and adapt to new and unpredictable challenges continually in a different way to their athletic counterparts. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘆𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗶𝗶𝗻𝗴 The distinction between kind and wicked learning environments underscores the complexity of decision-making and the importance of context in the learning process. Hogarth's insights helped explain why some skills are easier to develop and transfer than others and highlight the unique challenges faced by professionals operating in dynamic and uncertain fields. I was sorry to read about Robin's death, at 81 years of age, as I've been drawing heavily on his work in my Accelerating Executive Mastery Series (link in the comments). Thank you Robin for your lifetime of work 🙏

What habits and rituals support your #wellbeing? During the seminar that Dr. MacGregor had last week for the Coaching Summit while he spoke about wellbeing and wellness, he also touched briefly the difference between rituals and habits, 3 weeks ago Michael Bungay Stanier talked about this at length. Habit is something that you do mindless, ritual is something that you do mindful. So here is my morning, what started a year ago as a ritual now it turned into a habit, I realised during my reflexive practice: Drinking my coffee while I enjoy the sunrise and something green. Then it follows a ritual 15 to 20 minutes at least of reading, listening a podcast or a workshop, while I take notes. After that I take a look at my planner to start officially the day. I do this even in vacation or days off. This is topic that I will also address during the weekly PwC #Mindfulness Thursday to increase awareness of what we do mindful and what we do mindless - what about you? what choices do you make?

This video is for leaders who coach, managers who empower and professional coaches on the ICF road to mastery. Reaching PCC and MCC: 4 Easy Methods for Coaches, Leaders Who Coach, and Managers If you're on the ICF Credential path to ACC, PCC, or MCC 🌟 (congrats, that's a massive commitment to your skills and career). Here are four easy methods I've identified that can elevate your coaching a notch or two. Even if you're not ICF credentialed, these are still very useful. Having spent years marking ICF Performance Evaluations (since 2013), my team and I found patterns and trends, which the video explains. Yes, you still need to apply yourself to the ICF Core Competencies, get mentoring and get proper Level 1 and Level 2 education, but my video focuses on a handful of methods that tend to make a big impact across all the Competencies. I'm here to help. 🌳 #ICF #ICFCoaches #CoachSkills #MCC #PCC

I am so excited to facilitate this workshop on Self-Compassion as part of the Enrichment series of Institute of Positive Psychology Coaching with Petra Walker, Chartered Coaching Psychologist, AFBPsS, and Meriflor Toneatto, MSc. MCC, CAPPC!! There are many different ways being more Self-Compassionate can help our mental well-being, here are just a few of the ways it can be experienced: ♥️On a personal level Self-Compassion helped me to deal with the, sometimes overwhelming, grief of losing a loved one. 🧩 My MSc research on how Self-Compassion is linked to Self-Regulation, Grit and Delay of Gratification helped me to understand the mechanics of habit change and procrastination and basically, why we self-sabotage. My clients profit from this knowledge as it helps them to change by leveraging the power of Self-Compassion in the process. 🎖Self-Compassion is one of the key drivers of resilience and although sometimes experienced as something soft, there is an incredible element of toughness and perseverance that comes with Self-Compassion, related to the Finnish concept of Sisu. Sisu means the ability to tap into strengths beyond one's pre-conceived resources in the face of adversity. A skill that every leader should learn! Looking forward to discussing the above and many more examples of the power of Self-Compassion and how we can integrate this to leadership coaching in my workshop on June 5th!

The focus was on "Measuring Success: Evidence-Based Coaching with Psychometrics." Andrew delved into Ezra's approach towards systemic and measurable behavioral change for leaders, while Saba shed light on the significance of using the 360 leadership tool. Jean, drawing from her vast HR & OD experience, shared valuable insights from her experience on the use of various psychometric assessment tools. Andrew assisted us in establishing a framework for utilizing the assessment tool to bridge gaps for leaders and executives, guiding them from their current positions to their desired destinations. Saba's thought-provoking query prompted us to ponder on the purpose behind utilizing psychometric tools. How can we empower leaders to leverage these insights in meaningful dialogues, fostering growth and aligning with organizational objectives? Jean's wisdom resonated with the importance of using psychometric tools judiciously to avoid constraining individuals. It's crucial to unlock their potential and facilitate self-realization. As coaches, our role extends to bridging conversations with coachees through effective utilization of coaching tools. Providing a safe space for self-reflection and expanding perspectives is paramount for individuals to realize their full potential. Welcome thoughts … "How do you see psychometrics shaping the future of leadership development and coaching in your industry?" Also special credit to amazing co-partner Han Ee L. in creating impactful session. Grateful our ambassador Steven Koh and IAL AEN team for your selfless support in our SIG Coaching sessions. #LeadershipDevelopment #Coaching #SelfReflection #Psychometrics #PersonalGrowth

🔄 Changes, expectations, troubling thoughts and fears about the future generate negative stress and impact our mental and emotional health. 🌟 Whether it’s adolescents facing final exams or executives, our workshops repeatedly show that no one is spared from negative stress. Delivering peak performance, working under time pressure, and maintaining emotional control in conflict situations is easier said than done. However, mental strength can be developed when we consider body and mind as one: aligning body and mind is the essence of martial arts and some elements of training can be well integrated into everyday life. While the body becomes stronger and fitter through effort, the brain also benefits from positive stress towards: – Thinking clearly 💡 – Being more resilient 💪 – Increasing performance 📈 - Releasing stress and anxiety ☯️ Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eVde76h2

Maintaining wellbeing in our complex world, in our VUCA world is not always easy. The usual approach is to say be more resilient, putting all the stress on the person to be strong all the time. It’s just not possible, and people who feel stressed judge themselves. In the keynote I delivered last week at the Passionate About Practice symposium, I spoke about an antifragile approach, where people consider the types of rest they need to restore themselves and a way to process the stressor so they can learn to deal better with it next time. Anti-fragile means to accept stress as normal and to use time to process it to be stronger after it. We also need each other, and relationships are essential to be anti-fragile. One thing I heard they liked was the research around naming their feelings, getting honest about them, and then putting their hand on their heart to give themselves the compassion to sit with the feelings and give themselves the gift of understanding of how hard it is. #passionateaboutpractice
