🟠 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀. ➡️ 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 In my journey of growth and leadership, stepping into the shoes of a mediator has enriched me with profound insights: 1. Listening with different intention - the art of deep listening, sifting through to what matters, and grasping the heart of what's unsaid – for the sake of complete understanding (and not for objecting or convincing). 2. Belief in possibilities - an unwavering belief that in nearly all conflicts, solutions are within our grasp, reminding us that even in the minority of cases where answers seem elusive, there's always a path to peace. 3. Power of owning emotions – noticing and accepting our emotions, and rising above our immediate reactions, is the key to take control over the conversation and steer it towards mutually beneficial solution. 4. Elevating understanding - recognizing that true reconciliation requires us to see and respect the needs and perspectives of others. 5. Embracing forgiveness - the understanding that constructive conversations are rooted in forgiveness, a liberation from the grip of our emotions. 6. Seeing beyond - Acknowledging that forgiveness connects deeply with our ability to see the good in others and accept our shared human imperfections.

"Crikey Deansy! This has been a bit different." When Robbie Deans first started out, he thought coaching was all about imparting knowledge. This approach has a ceiling: “You're limited by what you know. And what you really need to know is what they know.” How can you find out what your team knows? Ask questions. Fast forward: Robbie’s having a one-on-one session with Norm Maxwell. Having just finished reading the book ‘First, Break all the Rules’, and with a framework from the book, Robbie decided to ask Norm questions. “It just engaged Normie. He started offering and we created a connection at a level of thinking that we'd never had previously.” “In fact, he stood up at the end and he said, ‘Crikey, Deansy! This has been a bit different.’” “And I knew — straight away — I'd actually made a connection that was more powerful than before. Because I was seeking more from him as opposed to just telling… and that's the way.” “Ultimately, all outcomes are produced through the people who are at the coalface. And that's one of the most important things for a coach to understand, that actually when you let go is when you start to move.” --- Want more like this?

"You're limited by what you know. And what you really need to know is what they know." Wow, I love this! Letting go of control, taking the ego out of it, and the need to be the one with all the answers. Robbie Deans highlights that effective coaching involves asking questions to understand what the team knows, acknowledging the importance of their knowledge. This approach fosters deeper connections and engagement, leading to improved team performance. Coaches can unlock greater potential and outcomes by seeking more from team members and letting go of control, thereby appreciating each team member's unique ability to contribute and provide input. As a leader or coach, do you take the time to ask questions? Are the questions you're asking 'good' questions? How do you know if your questions are 'good' questions?

“With so much conditioning or “shoulds” put upon us, uncovering our calling can feel elusive. So ask yourself: Where have I felt deeply connected to my true calling? Commit to answering this same question for 20 minutes a day for 30 days. This “brainwriting” method will help you to peel back the layers, get under the stories, and uncover themes. After a month, reread your answers and you’ll begin to notice the pattern of themes! – Camille Preston, AIM Leadership, LLC“ Read “Have you found your true calling in life yet?“ by Zain Jaffer on Medium: https://lnkd.in/eMyhSAgS

Highly recommended NEW book. Just out TODAY! This book by Jeff Wetzler, which I anticipate will be widely and well received in business and nonprofit circles, challenges dominant white culture norms in ways that offer those of us who work in power/privilege and shared interest frameworks an onramp to leadership learning. Without saying it's offering ways out of inherited European, white, male leadership norms, that's precisely what I see it as a tool for. By challenging dominant white culture's norms around hierarchical, top-down, know-it-all-ISM, ASK makes a compelling case for humility and curiosity in organizational leaders. I envision using this book's lessons and strategies with leadership to explore the dynamics of organizational hierarchy before layering in the dynamics of social identity. Finally, full disclosure: This book came to my attention through my daughter Emily Irving who is a research and writing assistant on the project. Here’s what she has to say. “My hope is that this book can tip the scales just a little more towards curiosity, empathy, and connection and away from fear, apathy, and division.” To buy the book: https://amzn.to/49iixhR To learn more about the project, visit www.AskApproach.com #conversationskill #leadershipskill #humanskill

I just finished reading "Leading to Succeed" by Wagner Denuzzo, LCSW (He/Him/His) and was struck by its relevance to the challenges we all face in our professional journeys. The book provides invaluable insights on the complexities of today's workplace. Chapter 4, in particular, captured my attention as Wagner dives into the intricacies of Distributed Power for Distributed Teams. His emphasis on the crucial role future leaders play as translators, guiding teams to align with dynamic strategies by understanding environmental influences, is spot on! 👏 I'm excited to gain even more wisdom during our live discussion next Thursday. Wagner's perspectives are invaluable, and I can't wait to delve deeper into the topics he's explored. Join me by following the link in the thread below. See you there! 🚀 #LeadingToSucceed #ProfessionalDevelopment #LeadershipInsights #TeamAlignment #DynamicStrategies #FutureLeadership #AceUp

The most underrated TED Talk: "The Power of Vulnerability" by Brené Brown Here are 3 lessons I learned from watching it: Lesson #1: Embrace vulnerability to build genuine connections. Most people believe showing strength and perfection is the path to building meaningful relationships. But this talk taught me to focus on: 🌟 Embracing imperfections 💬 Being open about your struggles 🤝 Connecting through authenticity Once you internalize this, everything changes. Lesson #2: Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity, and change. I used to believe that vulnerability was a sign of weakness. In this talk, Brené Brown told a story about how her research on vulnerability led her to a personal breakdown, which she called a spiritual awakening. She realized that vulnerability is the key to living a wholehearted life. A fantastic insight. Lesson #3: Courage and vulnerability go hand in hand. This lesson helped me take the first step to personal and professional growth. Here's how I did it: 💡 Admitting when I don't have all the answers 🙋 Asking for help when needed 📣 Encouraging others to share their stories Give this a try for yourself. ___ Give this a repost ♻️ to help others & follow me at Anesh Jagtiani for more. I share valuable tools and actionable advice to help you navigate the complexities of modern leadership and emotional intelligence every Saturday in my newsletter.

Who's making these rules anyways? Just yesterday, while discussing goals with a new client, I asked if she wanted to envision how to lead her teams and manage her workload after becoming a mom. In a hushed voice, she asked, "Is that allowed...here?" Hell yes, it's allowed—and it's super relevant! By the way, she's next in line to become the first female partner in her firm. Life doesn’t fit neatly into silos, and we shouldn’t expect it to. Stop asking for permission to be a complete human with relationships and challenges. Becoming Resilient Means: 1) Facing Challenges Head-On: Embrace the tough times and learn to navigate through them. 2) Identifying Your Goals and Values: Understand what truly matters to you and create systems that support your vision. 3) Building a Support System: Surround yourself with people and resources that uplift and guide you. When life gets chaotic, your professional performance doesn’t have to suffer. Having a coach can be the difference between getting knocked down or getting knocked out of the game. If you’re curious about how coaching can support your journey, DM me and let's see what you're capable of :) #Leadership #WomenInBusiness #Resilience

Does popular television personality Rachel Maddow have charisma? Or is she just a loud mouth with a huge platform?

The Coaches Bookclub is savouring Oscar Trimboli and how to listen. We will be diving deeper with him in person in a few weeks. Listening is so prescious. A parent hearing a child.
