In this video, I want to talk to you about leadership effectiveness. Many leaders do not know what their exact role is and that is the key thing to find out.

In this video, I want to talk to you about your hybrid working environment. In the new hybrid workplace, we have no deviation from our environment. Every day feels the same. We get up, we dress up, we have meetings, we answer emails, we end the day, and it’s a repeat and recycle the next day. So, what do we do? How can we change that? Watch this video for some tips on how to change your daily workplace environment and make it more stimulating.

In this video, I want to talk to you about feedback. Imagine feedback being a gift, a present that you are receiving, and some gifts that you receive are nicely wrapped and they have a bow around them, while others aren't. But is it really about the outside wrapping that's important or is it about the content? So, feedback is the content. It might not always be wrapped very nicely and it might not always have a bow around it, but it's about the content, which is the intent of the feedback. It is important to provide feedback, so I would like to leave you with some tips on how to provide feedback, especially  in this hybrid world we now find ourselves in. What kind of feedback to you consider invaluable?

In this video, I want to talk to you about, do you manage your energy, or do you manage your time? Two totally different concepts, but I don't know how often you allow your energy to actually impact and influence your level of performance and productivity. Do you look at your task list in the morning or the meetings that you all have scheduled and does that dictate your day, regardless of what your energy level is like? Think of situations where your energy levels have been low. What changes can you make to ensure that you are productive with your energy, so that the time spent doesn't need to be managed.

Manage your energy, not your time

In this video, I want to talk to you about leadership questions. One regular question I am being asked is what questions should I be asking my team? Because these are not normal meetings or check-in sessions, where you are focusing in on operational items, tasks, or processes. You are actually focusing on the being part, how is that individual feeling right now. What questions are important to you as either a leader or employee?

In this video, I want to talk to you about some myths surrounding coaching. One of the myths around coaching is that it is aimed for employees who are going through performance reviews or are difficult employees, as they are often classified. They are not going to coaching as the last resort to help them before they are asked to leave. And coaching is not about fixing a person, because as coaches, we regard every individual as holistic and wholesome as they are. It is about growing and developing people. What kind of coaching appeals to you?

In this video, I want to talk to you about the concept of leavism. Leavism is where employees take leave, but actually work during their leave time. So, they use their annual leave or their working days to catch up with what they haven't completed. Doesn't sound right, does it? Something's not right with this model, but the concern for me is that it's on the increase and it's happening more and more, which will have a severe knock-on effect on mental health and well-being. So how do we reduce leavism within an organization?

In this video, I want to talk to you about the rise of the imposter syndrome in leadership.
What is happening right now is that the workspace and work environment is moving exceptionally fast. Companies are growing and leaders are being promoted very fast, often before they are ready. And if we put our hands to our heart, we all have the imposter syndrome somewhere. We all are scared that we are not going to have the answer to something that is presented to us, but that doesn't make us less effective as a leader. What can we do to help those who suffer from the imposter syndrome?
