Genuine Authenticity and Vulnerability

March 25, 2019 by Diana Leave a Comment

Human connectedness, a fundamental need for connection with others. The Human Connectedness Group states: “Our interactions and relationships with other people form a network that supports us, makes our lives meaningful, and ultimately enables us to survive.”1 As a leader, this is the attribute that engages people and draws them to you. This requires embracing […]

Over the next few weeks, we’ll take a look at a variety of […]

Following the last few blogs on Creating Cultures of Trust, I think about an overlooked aspect of the trust dynamic—our openness to courageously offer honest feedback and receive feedback as a gift that helps us to be the best versions of ourselves. With the strengths package that I was given I feel compelled, at times, […]

My coaching practice focuses on ‘who you are as a leader’ vs ‘what you do as a leader’. There are many talented consultants, workshops and webcasts that are completely focused on ‘what you do as a leader’ – focused on the bottom line. In my 16 years of coaching leaders I’ve found that, while you […]

4 Steps to Facing Reality: Your Aha! Moment

February 1, 2013 by Diana Leave a Comment

It’s tough to face reality. We don’t always like it, so we often distort it. We delude ourselves by finding ways to see ourselves as heroes. When you’re mired in a difficult situation, ask yourself whether you want to be “right” or open to finding a breakthrough solution. Instead of being defensive and asserting your […]

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.
