Too much on your mind? Being pulled from pillar to post? It can look and feel a bit like chaos. When you’re leading a team, growing a business, looking after customers and clients, it can be very busy being all things to everyone. Except for the one person that matters the most. You. Because you’re […]
Follow Through or Follow Up
What do you do in order to ensure accountability across the business? Recently my soccer girls were practicing penalties and corner kicks. Each of them would line up and be super focused on taking the kick… however what the majority of them didn’t realise until we spoke about it was… it was all about the […]
Clearly Defined Job Descriptions
Each week prior to our game, I map out the positions on the pitch, specifically who is where and when. Then during training we talk zones, roles, skillset and requirements. Then each game it’s clear, visual and we talk again about zones, roles and strengths. When someone is doing a throw in, are they a […]
Measuring Growth & Improvement
At a recent school dinner the principal spoke about the numbers. Specifically the number of books the kids used to borrow from the library. They then did a rebuild, a re-arrangement, they relocated the books and created a whole new plan – all focused on getting the number of books borrowed to increase. It did […]
Activated or Stressed Out
Leadership is stressful. It’s intense. It’s not for the fainthearted, in more ways than one. In the past months, I’ve seen a very concerning and marked increase in coaching conversations with words like “overwhelmed, manic, flat to the floor, no end in sight, stressed out, can’t concentrate, not sleeping, petrol tank empty, burnt out, not […]
Coaching a High-Performing Team
The season has only just begun and we’ve won 3 out of 3 games. I’m the proudest coach on the planet and here’s why. It’s not because we have some amazing goal scorers… we’ve certainly missed a lot of opportunities. Not because everyone is amazing at passing and highly skilled football players. We have a […]
Overriding Negative Thoughts
Leadership is busy enough as it is without wasting valuable time either physical hours or brain space on replaying or rehashing conversations, giving ourselves a tough time or wishing/hoping that others would actually be able to mind-read and do what we want without us actually saying it! Or saying it and it goes pear-shaped, ending […]
What Role do you Play?
Chatting with a great leader the other day. Holds a senior executive role within a business. He’s passionate, amazing with people, great technical skills. However… here’s the big BUT coming. He is SO caught up in the day to day that he cannot step away and be strategic, plan or focus on the bigger picture. […]
On boarding New Team Members
Meet our newest team member. Yes cute, fluffy and a furball called Milo. Here’s a few reminders that really hit home, no matter what type of team member you’re welcoming on board. Are all the existing team members clear and in agreement on roles and responsibilities for onboarding and ongoing integration, training, management etc? Are […]
Is the Team Flying High?
Isn’t this picture amazing! It blows my mind. Have a think for a moment and ask yourself “Could our team do this?” Would you and the team have the trust, confidence, the skill and strength to do something like this? It’s a rare gift to find a team that could. In the teachings of Patrick […]
