How can you regain control of this week?
Some weeks feel a little bit “straighter” and more focused. Projects are advancing, decisions made and implemented, meetings fruitful and constructive. And there are these others (many) weeks feeling disorganised, chaotic, with too many meetings back-to-back, not enough time to stop & think, decisions beeing postponed, interruptions beeing particularly frequent. In those weeks, you feel less in control and lacking impact.
It’s mid-week today, how does this week feel sofar? What can you do to ensure key priorities are adressed? To what do you need to say NO, to what do you need to express a stronger YES, so that Friday will feel like you’ve made a difference?
Where will you have the greatest impact?
Where do you spend most of your time in?
And what do you need to do to
– move out of your comfort zone?
– increase your comfort in the change zone? What is your support network?
EASTER BREAK, time for RENEWAL?
Easter is just around the corner, a time calling for RENEWAL. How will you make sure you get the Oxygen you need to rejuvenate yourself?
Make your meeting a safe and focused place
My understanding of my role as facilitator and executive coach is to support the leadership Teams I work with to have the conversations they wouldn’t have otherwise, starting by creating a safe place for them. This article gives you some tips on how you can do this when your facilitator /team coach isn’t there.
How do you think your next Leadership Team meeting would go if you also include the following questions:
– What do you think I need to know?
– Where are you struggling?
– What are you proud of?
Enjoy the safe place!
