I attended the 2018 Minnesota ICF Awards honoring organizations and business that are integrating coaching into their culture. Each nominee spoke of the importance of focusing their development efforts on improving their organization’s culture in order to improve results. Aligning the right people with diverse strengths to problem solve and execute a plan is essential. […]

Who hasn’t dealt with a fear of failure in one’s life or career, at one time or another? In general, learning to manage your fear of failure is a process. We need to name it, claim it, and reframe it. Robert Kelsey, author of What’s Stopping You?: Why Smart People Don’t Always Reach Their Potential […]

I have spent the last several weeks talking about and looking at the function of teams. A team’s greatest success or failure often rests on the shoulders of you as their leader. Your understanding of who you are and how you show up with your team has the potential to greatly influence in how they […]

Many leaders I work with discover that, when they promoted to a new leadership opportunity, they have inherited a troubled team. And they are now expected to fix it – making the team functional. Frequently, their new team is not interested in being fixed or functioning any differently than do currently. To further complicate leadership […]

Throughout my years coaching leaders, purpose has been a constant thread. Leaders, like you, are looking to have greater impact through meaning and purpose in your work. Clarifying and articulating your purpose, your calling or your why seems elusive. It often feels difficult to identify on your own. While yearning to know what it is, […]

The Challenge in Measuring Employee Engagement

Is it fair or accurate to lump all employee engagement results together? I don’t think so. I look to the results of those organizations that track employee engagement after dedicating the resources to ensure change. As a Strengths Strategy Certified coach, I have experienced and have confidence in the strong employee engagement results that come […]

It takes courage to lead effectively. It requires a level of vulnerability that many of us are not comfortable with, yet it has become a necessity. By helping me fully claim where I am strong, using the Strengths Strategy model has led me to be more confident in naming, being open to and vulnerable in […]

During a call this morning with several Strength Strategy coaches we were discussing what makes the Strengths Strategy model so effective and unique. One coach said, “Strengths Intelligence is a universal language” and I thought, “That’s it!” For me, there is something about diving in deep with the Strengths Strategy model that is like coming […]

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.

Because nothing is sustainable if it doesn’t “increase profitability and your competitive advantage.”
