Leadership doesn't have to come with a specific title. Imagine what becomes possible when all team members within an organization demonstrate leadership capabilities. #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders

Today is #WorldValuesDay. So what is important to you? Being clear on that can help you navigate life's challenges in a more clear-headed manner. One way to become clearer is to ask yourself "at the end of my life (or project) looking back, what would seem important? How would my older wiser self wished I had handled the situation? #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders

Our mind doesn’t always serve us well. One of my favourite ways of quieting the negative chatter in my mind is to do mindful eating: I focus all my attention on the physical sense of taste. Feeling the crunch in my toast. Really tasting the flavours. This is what we call in Positive Intelligence a PQ rep: focusing on a physical sense for at least 10 seconds. It could be taste or any of the other senses. This also energizes the part of your brain that DOES serve you. So that you can handle your challenges with ease and flow. #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders

The theme of #WorldMentalHealthDay is “mental health at work”. Taking care of your own mental health is a key message from the WHO (World Health Organization). It is the equivalent of putting on the airplane oxygen mask on yourself first before you can assist others. As a leader, it is important to check in with yourself: on a scale of 1-10, how good is YOUR mental health? Not sure? Start by being aware of your mood and feelings. Are you calm and centered OR anxious and stressed out? Then ask: what could make it one point better? #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders

Today is World Smile Day - a time to remind ourselves of the importance of spreading happiness, kindness and positivity through simple acts. A smile: such a simple thing and yet can be so powerful. So today, simply... smile! Not only will it help elevate your mood, but for the person it is directed to, it can have a powerful impact. You never know what might be happening in that person's life at that very moment. A simple smile (from a family member, a friend or even a stranger) can change the course of their day. #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders

In Positive Intelligence, the Hyper-Vigilant knows a lot about worrying. Stuck in worry mode? Ask yourself where it fits on the "vigilance" grid: a) What is the likelihood that "it" (the thing I'm worrying about) will happen? b) How much control do I have? Then focus on what falls in HIGH likelihood and HIGH control. While it might sound easier said than done to let go of the rest, the mere action of taking a pause to consider where it fits can provide some clarity and bring you to a state of more ease and flow. There are other techniques which you can combine with the above, but it's a good first step. #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders

This doesn't mean you now have to become a professional certified coach. It means you need to be "coach-like" in your approach as a leader. Thank you for the great list Ali Riza Kucuk. One item I would add: Inspire those around you. #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders

My focus as a leadership coach committed to empowering emerging women leaders to unleash their potential and drive meaningful impact in their organization, is to help build a strong pipeline. While there has been gains across the pipeline from 2015 to 2024 - for example women at the C-Suite level increased 12% - lower levels do not have the same kind of gains. An increased focus here is needed. I'm thrilled about the gains made... but there is still a ways to go. How is YOUR pipeline looking? #leadershipdevelopment #coaching #emergingwomenleaders
