How are you influencing your team/organisational climate?

Hubby and I recently joined where we run 5km every Saturday morning at 7am with a group of over 100 people.

We have done a few races in the past, so we wanted to add this to our training program.

Running has become part of our life because we value fitness and long-term health.

Races and fun runs provide a structure to our week/year and they force us to keep going.

They also clarify norms when we show up at the starting line, having a chat with fellow runners and make sure to look out for each other in the race.

Those runs also build cohesiveness in our marriage and with family and friends who are also into running.

And finally, those races help us to promote the standards of excellence we want to see in our lives.

To find out how this links into your leadership life check out my updated blog post on the topic:

I have noticed quite a few of these templates around this time of the year, but most of them had too many steps for my liking.

So here's my version for end of year reflections. I kept it quite simple, four steps only.

Three categories to review 2021 and one list of hopes and dreams for 2022.

I have given each category a page in my journal and will add to them over the next few days.

What I have written down already shows that there is so much to be thankful for in such a ?! year and that there are quite a few things I have learned this year...a few random ones which made me laugh (I might share them at some point).

It has also helped me to write down the things I have been feeling sad/disappointed/hurt about as I took time to reflect.

So far, my list of hopes and dreams is rather short, but they confirm what is truly important to me right now.

I am not one for new years resolutions as such, and I haven't set specific goals just yet, but listening to my heart's desires about the new year has been really encouraging.

I hope this inspires you to look back, let go of the old and embrace the new year.

See you in the new year! 😊

Who do you learn from?

I have been very grateful for these amazing business owners at BCRG Narellan who I have been networking with for the past 2 years.

Here are three of my highlights of what I have learned from this group:

1. Keep showing up and aim to be in business for the long haul (or really anything you start). Most of these guys have been in business for 10, 20 and even over 30 years. Business is hard work and most business owners I talk to wanted to give up at some point. But once you start building something stick with it and make it work. (I've got a long way to go, but I'm excited to see it unfold over the years.)

2. Surround yourself with people that grow and challenge you. I have watched some of these business owners learn from others and transform their businesses to stay relevant and successful in their industry.

3. Make a difference in the community. You might think most businesses are in it for the money. And yes, that is part of the reason people start businesses. And also yes, there are tax and promotional benefits when you donate money, but I truly believe many business owners actually want to make a difference and give back to the community.

I've been loving getting to know the business community in the Macarthur region in the southwest of Sydney and look forward to meeting the locals in my new neighbourhood around Ballina NSW.

"....If we fail to recognize that who we are on the inside informs every aspect of our leadership, we will do damage to ourselves and to those we lead.”

Maybe you can take some time over the holidays to reflect on you have been becoming this year and if that aligns with who you want to be.

Leaders, what are your priorities?

My husband is my first priority.

If you are passionate about your work it is so easy to neglect those we love the most and give them our leftovers of energy.

I recently heard a quote by Carey Nieuwhof on his amazing leadership podcast:

"Winning at work and losing at home equals losing."

One of my clients told me after a few sessions about communication, emotional intelligence and conflict management how she had applied some of these strategies in her marriage. How good is that?!

I was reminded this week about how passionate I am about seeing marriages and families stay together and fight through the tough stuff together.

If you want some life coaching in this area, let me know. I am not a counsellor but have got some great tools to work on those interpersonal skills to become better communicators in your marriage.

I N T E G R I T Y
..is one of the most important traits of a leader. (I would even say of a human as it is one of my core values.)

If our behavior does not match our words we will still have impact, but certainly not the impact we wanted.

Over time, people will find out what is really important to us.

Do you want to be known for WANTING to make a difference or for MAKING a difference?

It is one thing to say what is important to us and another to actually do it.

This lockdown (here in NSW, Australia since the end of June 2021) might have brought out the 'real me'.

So let me ask you one of my favorite questions:

What kind of leader do you want to be?

To me, excellence is giving your best, achieving the best results within given conditions.

Excellence is not perfection. What a relief, right?

As a recovering perfectionist, I have to constantly work on my expectations of myself and of those around me.

This is so crucial in leadership.

I have high standards for myself when it comes to discipline and performance.

But if those standards are irrational or unachievable for myself or the people I lead, it might cause more damage than anything.

The last thing anyone wants is to feel like a failure.

I have learned over the years in life and leadership that expecting high standards comes with a cost not everyone is willing to pay.

In the following blog post, I share how to promote excellence in three steps.

https://beyondlsc.com/en_AU/beyond-leadership-coaching-blog/how-to-promote-excellence/

I want to highlight the second point about realistic expectations today as it is so important that we avoid pushing ourselves or our people towards something that we cannot achieve.

I would love to hear some examples of realistic expectations you have in your current season!

I love individual coaching sessions with my clients!

This is Michelle. I met her last year during my time in Germany and I started coaching her in November.

Michelle is a regional area manager for a fashion production company while also having various leadership roles in her local church.

We started meeting weekly via Zoom to go through my BEYOND Leadership Coaching program. Since August we now meet 2-3 times per month for mentoring and occasional coaching.

Besides the set program I offer, each week we would also discuss current matters Michelle deals with in her role.

Having individual coaching sessions allows you to get my full attention and leadership insights I have collected over man years.

The best thing about those coaching sessions for me is that my main job as a coach is to ask the right questions so you can discover the gold that is already within you.
