Coaches take on many roles in their quest to help teams and organizations build a productive and brilliant culture. Enabling a peaceful working environment helps lay the groundwork for a future that everyone wants to be part of.
We expect more from our leaders thanks to citizen and stakeholder capitalism.
Together, let’s discover how your company is doing and work out where you need to go - and how to get there.
LEADERSHIP DOESN’T KNOW NORMAL
Citizen and stakeholder capitalism have changed what we expect from leaders – for good.
We are bombarded with strategic business, societal and environmental challenges that no longer relate to the way we used to do things.
You need and want a coach who can help solve many of the pressing issues that have the potential to stall progress, or sabotage a project’s success.
So the coaching playbook has evolved too.
It requires focus and a plan to marry leadership and an organization’s operating system to help both adapt internally alongside external societal and environmental shifts.
We may be advanced technologically, but our thought processes and ability to act fast often remain firmly planted in yesteryear.
We can work together in a number of ways, but whatever happens, as your coach I will work with you tirelessly to help support, respond to and predict the systems that might sabotage your success. As societal, economic and human behavioural noise and ever-changing environmental newsflashes and evolving regulations combine to make the business landscape harder and more challenging, you need someone who will have your back.
Leadership doesn’t know normal.
Leadership may strive for normalcy or predictability, but when outside forces upset the direction of a company, the leader and their team must understand the reality and adapt. Resilient teams don’t just happen – they go through issue upon issue. They understand the collective goal and collaborate to innovate – or sometimes learn to plain ol’ ride out a crisis.
The “Great Resignation” proved that, as did “Quiet Quitting”. The new recession and economic challenges are here. Carbon neutral goals are upon us. There is a way to move forward with what you have and what you aspire to grow into as an organization. What’s next requires extra leadership intelligence across business, societal and environmental forces.
Alongside award-winning business coaching associates, I work with leaders in start-up mode, loonshot inventors, digital world-builders and billion-dollar entertainment and pharmaceutical companies to help them all navigate and succeed in a new, never-seen-before era.
