Without feedback we will not grow. The same is true for our businesses—if we do not have effective feedback loops, we'll never find the optimal way. Imagine an athlete without a stopwatch—their training would lack the critical insights needed to refine their performance. Feedback mechanisms are not just tools, they are the very foundation of improvement—enabling individuals and businesses to analyze their performance closely and make impactful changes. Not only this, but the frequency and timeliness of feedback are crucial. Consider the track star who trains tirelessly, day after day, only to receive their performance data a month later. Delayed feedback is almost as good as no feedback at all. If you want your family enterprise and business to be resilient and thrive, incorporating effective feedback mechanisms is the key to unlocking potential and achieving optimal performance. Listen to us discuss all this and more in episode 11 of the podcast titled, 'Feedback and improvement', today: https://lnkd.in/gthYhAyJ https://lnkd.in/gb-Ha-Qr

While listening to a podcast, I recently got one “aha moment” when I heard the phrase: 👉 Measure in hundreds 👈 Three words that beautifully condense the idea that great outcomes are usually the result of countless iterations, experiments, small victories, and setbacks. Discipline, consistency, focus, and continuous learning are the backbone of success. —------ 🔔 If you like my posts, follow me for more! ✏ Take a look at my blog and subscribe (link in bio) 😎 Need a coach or mentor?

Welcome back to my Success is Never Accidental Podcast. In this podcast, I have the privilege of interviewing some highly successful people, including celebrities, entrepreneurs, global speakers, academics, and coaches from all walks of life. We will explore what success means to them, their strategies for success, the disciplines that keep them on track when the going gets tough, and the actions they have had to take to be the best in their field. We will discover the humility of highly successful people and how motivated they are to give back and add value. I am honoured to have our second podcast with Brigitta Hoeferle PCC Master Trainer an extremely talented facilitator and trainer who creates inclusive learning environments that foster personal growth and team success. Brigitta said that in order to succeed we need to be both focused and determined and when times are tough, still follow through- regardless of other distractions   ‘I said I would do it, so I’ll do it ‘   Brigitta gives sound advice about the challenges of delegation, including:   The importance of being specific and precise about what it is we want done and how we want it done, and within what time frame. The realisation that in order to delegate effectively, we need to be able to break things down into steps and we need to understand the steps ourselves, before we can teach them to someone else.

How do coaching skills help leaders? When should leaders drop the coach persona? Who should learn to coach? Those were a few questions I reflected on in Jean Balfour MCC’s podcast. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: 1️⃣ How does coaching skills help leaders? In my case, I benefited the most from: - Shifting from “telling what I think”, to → “listening to what my team thinks”. I stopped finding solutions and giving answers. Instead, I became curious and empowered the team to find their way. - Fostering a growth mindset. My conviction that “everyone can transform if/when they choose to” was strengthened. As a result, I invested in team development, instead of replacing individuals. - Asking more open-ended questions. I quit the 'Why' queries that took me on wild goose chases. I started asking the 'What' and 'How' questions, sparking exploration and progress within my team. - Managing upwards and sideways, with curiosity. I transitioned from "status update" type conversations to "curiosity to drive business growth". Whether it be my CEO, other CxOs, or the Board, this approach altered our relationship. It focused our attention on what mattered to everyone, and not just me. 2️⃣ When not to coach? Coaching is a skill set in a leader's toolbox. But we cannot and should not use it all the time. Sometimes my team needed direction, or they were in crisis mode and needed a hand. Sometimes they needed a loud wake up call. While coaching may have worked in those situations, it was not the best tool for the situation 3️⃣ Who should learn to coach and when? The short answer is, all people leaders should learn to coach, and they should do it now. It is one of the best investments I ever made. And while there are many great schools to choose from, I recommend Bailey Balfour Coach Certification wholeheartedly P.S.

For too many people, performance reviews feel like a box-checking exercise. That's because they're focused on managing performance, not motivating performance, says Tami Rosen, Chief People Officer at Pagaya. In this podcast episode, Tami challenges the traditional notion of 'learning' and its application in the workplace. Learning isn't just acquiring new knowledge, she says—it's applying that knowledge, too. Tami emphasizes that organizations need to focus on creating learning cultures, and that means getting rid of the outdated performance-review process. Listen to the full episode to discover how ditching performance reviews and prioritizing learning in your organization can foster a culture of continuous growth and development. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g5PnN5Rs

Can you train your mind while you train your body? 🧠 According to a recent article on The Podcast, 29% of people manage to learn while they work out. Well, we all love a podcast, don't we? People listen to educational podcasts while on their commute or out for a walk, so why not at the gym? Do you/would you listen to an educational course while working out? 🚲 We're not entirely convinced. What happens if we get distracted and injure ourselves? Or miss a useful piece of information? On the flip side, shouldn't every opportunity to learn to be taken? What are YOUR thoughts on this? 💙 #learninganddevelopment #runningandthinking #exercise #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #growth #learning
