  • Transformational leadership: diary optimisation for peak performance

    Transformational leadership: diary optimisation for peak performance
    2025/08/10
    This may be the shortest podcast in our journey exploring transformational leadership. However, it may have the longest shelf life.

    The diary grooming process is an ultra-short (five minute) process of reviewing your day as a transformational leader. It is a process of finding the areas of your leadership that are going well and accentuating them, along with the areas that are not going well and reducing or eliminating them. It's all about optimisation, it's about getting your 'flywheel of life' turning as efficiently as possible and maintaing it at peak health.

    Diary grooming/optimisation is similar to dressing for work every day. You remove the clothes worn to bed, shower, and put on clean clothes appropriate for the day ahead. Then stepping forward for your bright new day envigerated...

  • Transformational Leadership: purification of limiting beliefs and behaviours

    Transformational Leadership: purification of limiting beliefs and behaviours
    2025/08/03
    The 'compliment' to praising is purification - its purpose is to help us identify areas that are negatively impacting performance while building our credibility as leaders. Purification is about removing obstacles and barriers to higher performance, both for the leader as well as for your Team and colleagues.

    Transformational leaders isolate one or two harmful beliefs or behaviours and work to eliminate or remove them.

    Leadership: Praising with sincerity, timeliness and specificity
    2025/07/27
    Praise will act as a catalyst for even higher levels of success when three praise aspects are present. Stakeholders know if a leader is paying attention to what they’re doing and sincere praise creates a positive feedback loop in which what gets noticed and rewarded gets magnified.

    The three aspects are:
    1. sincerity
    2. timeliness and
    3. specificity

  • Transforming Leadership: Unlocking Potential

    Transforming Leadership: Unlocking Potential
    2025/07/20
    Praise helps people feel valued, heard, and appreciated. People who feel valued, heard, and appreciated work with more passion, experiment, take risks, and grow at rates far greater than those who don’t.

    In every organisation there are pockets of workers/coleagues potential lying dormant. When you ask these people if they could do more the resounding answer is yes.

    What’s fascinating is that when you ask people why they don’t accomplish more or what they are capable of accomplishing the number one answer is because they choose not to. They could if they wanted to, they just choose not to. The ability to do more but choosing not to is a massive drain on performance. Let's explore how we can unlock their potential....

  • Transforming Leadership: Praising Principle - living in fear

    Transforming Leadership: Praising Principle - living in fear
    2025/07/13
    Far too many of us live in fear when it comes to our business lives. For some of us, it’s financial fear. For others, it’s emotional. No matter the source or type of fear, fear has a debilitating effect on personal and professional growth over extended periods of time. Fear can be a catalyst for action, but accelerated progress can never be made beneath the shadow of a fearful mindset.

    The best way to fight fear is to identify what causes it. If you can determine the cause of fear, you can redirect it and make it less frightening for you and your team. Working with executives as a coach I have discovered eight types of fear that are most common to executives:
    1. Fear of holding people accountable.
    2. Fear of making mistakes.
    3. Fear of leaving a job that sucks the energy out of you.
    4. Fear of not being seen as smart and successful.
    5. Fear of upsetting your boss or senior leaders.
    6. Fear of turning away from current successes in order to have even greater success.
    7. Fear of investing in one’s self.
    8. Fear of making decisions.

  • Powerful Communications: active listening

    Powerful Communications: active listening
    2025/06/29
    It has been said that the eyes are the window into the soul. If true, the ears are the doorway to the heart. It is by our ears we listen to what’s important to someone.

    We not only hear the words they are using, but hear the tone of voice, inflection, and can distinguish between the emotions expressed and listen for what is hoped for moving forward. Our ears afford us the ability to do so, but all too frequently we don’t take the time to fully hear what's being said.

    Let's see, hear and feel waht we can do about that...
