Neon Leadership

Making good decisions can feel tricky at the best of times. Doing it at pace and under pressure is a whole other ballgame.     It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and start paying attention to the wrong things. The situation appears to get worse and it can be the start of a downward spiral.    Getting clarity on what you can control and what cannot ensures you focus your energy where you can actually make a difference.     Where are you focussing your energy?

How will you describe your Neon learning experience? == Cherish McNamara, College Manager at ETI - "BEST 90-minute training session I've ever attended! Our HR department brought in Charlie, from NEON to deliver Resilience Training to some of the management/leadership team at Electrotechnology Training Institute. (This included College of Electrical Training, Equip-Safe, Electrical Group Training and ETI). Charlie delivered the "Unshakable Resilience" course offered by NEON, tailored to ETI. This was NOT death by PPT, but more a mix between personal/individual resilience and how this translates to the work environment. EVERY SINGLE ATTENDEE walked away with practical tips and techniques for both personal and professional growth. It may have only been 90 minutes, but the content was relevant, personal/individual and had advice to take away, and felt as though it was aimed directly at you, individually. Charlie's delivery was calm, confident and everyone enjoyed his demeanor. Charlie has built this course off of his own experiences, and his passion is undeniable! I couldn't recommend NEON leadership and the "Unshakeable Resilience" course enough!!!!" == Due to the high levels of care and attention we give to each client, we can only work on 5 client projects at a time.

I am always amazed how few leaders have heard of this book when I mention it.    Dalio’s approach to decision making is world class and worth exploring.    Ray Dalio is the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the New York based hedge fund which has made more money for investors than any other in history.    They have done it by making countless high-pressure decisions and hitting the bullseye more times than most for over 40 years.    That kind of repeatable success doesn't happen by accident.    Dalio’s sometimes unconventional approach helped him and his team master decision making and gain a huge competitive advantage by: - Reducing the influence of cognitive bias on decisions  - Give more weight to data over “gut feel”  - Creating a culture in which it is ok to make mistakes and unacceptable not to learn from them  - Giving decision making power to the people with proven track records of being right – not just the highest ranking  - Applying radical truth and radical transparency    When you consider that even small improvements in decision making will compound over the course of your life and career, this is a hugely worthwhile skill to develop. 

For every person we train, we plant a tree. One-for-One.     With your help, we have planted over 2,000 Trees since our One-for-One tree planting began.    Our next goal is 10,000 trees by 2035.     Our One-for-One tree planting is just one of the reasons organisations choose to work with us, and it’s a project that gives our team huge amounts of pride.    Huge thanks to all of our clients who have shared this vision, and have contributed to its success.    🌱 How many trees could your next learning program plant? 

Most people assume that perspective is fixed, and meaning comes as part of the package deal.    Maintaining healthy perspective is a dynamic, ongoing process.    Great leaders understand that you can shift perspective. Meaning you get to give your experiences the meaning that serves you best. == This idea is taken from this week's Neon Pulse fortnightly newsletter.
