EXECUTIVE RESILIENCE

Mentor-Coach Conversation | Lead others through trust and manage self through resilience. Resilience requires adaptiveness. Above all, it requires being kind to yourself while caring for the wellbeing of others.

CALMING DOUBT AND SELF-CRITICISM

Mentor-Coach Conversation | For many, certain questions of doubt keep recurring. Will they be good enough? Will they be found out? Will the next role or assignment be the one that brings them undone? Here are some solutions.

EXECUTIVES NEED TO STAY RELEVANT

Mentor-Coach Conversation | How do you make sure you are better prepared for the next level? Without the ability to leverage change into a source of advantage, individual and technical skills are all but temporal. A lack of future relevancy is a key career risk for executives.

ADVANCING WOMEN IS NOT RISKY BUSINESS

Mentor-Coach Conversation | Advancing women at Australian corporates should not be risky business. Yet, despite a strong business case for female representation, the data shows that for Australia’s biggest public companies giving women seats at the executive table is still proving a challenge for decision-makers.

TRUST: A LEADERSHIP ROADMAP

Mentor-Coach Conversation | While it is important not to be naive, a lack of mutual trust derails a business. Sustainable trust is an ongoing process that relies on maturity, perspective, empowerment, engagement, ethical behaviour and respectful relationships.

CONFLICT, EMPATHY AND OPPORTUNITY

Mentor-Coach Conversation | Unaddressed conflict takes on a life of its own, with sides emerging, focus diverted, wrong fights battled and the pushing of competitive bias. In high-trust cultures, people may debate rigorously, but they commit to the best overall future. Constructing the right degree of tension is the challenge.
