This was a huge success, and has now been run well a few times! Thanks to all who attended! The feedback received has overwhelmingly requested to know more about influential communication. So guess what happens next... Yep the next workshop will be exactly that subject. Who's up for some of that? Understand the code that people use Have a higher impact with your messages and language Find out more about how we communicate consciously and unconsciously Engage your stakeholders on a whole new level Find out more about your own communication style and those around you Words matter, and so do people, so lets all work on communication together Likes please to test the appetite and I'll post an update once it's planned in with a date. Remember, you cannot, not communicate (yes you read that right) so communication with impact and have a positive influence.

7 Leadership Styles: Where do you see other leaders fit in or where do they see you fit in as a leader? Assess and adapt the suitable style that will positively impact your team and add value to your organization. #ValuedLeadership #PositiveImpact

This is vitally important. Research, including some of our own, shows that management skills are key to unlocking the productivity and sustainability challenges we face, but there is a shortfall in this area. With an economy dominated by small firms, with limited time and capacity to devote to developing these, the problem is even more acute. We know that firms with strong managerial skills tend to be more innovative, and also create high quality jobs with good working conditions, all of which are key economic policy objectives.

Work is not meant to be easy. Developing leadership skills of those you work with take calculated steps and assignment of tasks. Being a leader is a choice. Facilitating Leadership is a challenge we all should cherish.

I am reposting this not because I agree with it. Yes, it is funny, BUT it is also tragic in more than one ways. Consultants too often look down on clients. BUT, if like in the video, the client cannot see the basics, it is also true that the "consultant" in this video is also oblivious to the client's needs. Yes, some clients do have a naïve approach to some topics; one thing comes to mind is naïve patenting strategies. A good consultant MUST focus and articulate the clients true needs, explain his perspective, and plan according to these needs. Consultants frequently face the dilemma "stick to the brief, i.e. give them exactly what they ask for so that they are happy and you have smooth sailing, vs. seeking true needs and making sure that those are understood and served". Ethics must come before profit, and consultants must approach clients with humility. Clients do have a huge amount of tacit knowledge, even if they may have difficulty articulating it. Part of the responsibility of a professional is to be articulate and to help others be articulate. Simple communication, without jargon, is key to surfacing hidden assumptions and understanding true needs.

For all of us in the business of coaching/training and developing potential in others, it is enormously gratifying and motivating to know when we have made a positive difference. 👌 #developtraining #highperformingteams #neuroleadership
