I had an eye-opening conversation with Janet M. Harvey, a globally recognized leader in the coaching industry and author of From Tension to Transformation. With over 27 years of experience coaching executives across six continents, and now she is one of the coaches in our WhyLead Consultancy's middle management program, Thrive in the Middle. Janet shared profound insights on how embracing our judgments can lead us toward generative wholeness. *We explored questions like*: How can leaning into tension unlock your true leadership potential? Could your inner critic actually be your greatest ally? And how do we break free from limiting labels to become our most authentic selves? If you're curious about transforming discomfort into a catalyst for growth, you won't want to miss this episode! Here’s the link https://lnkd.in/dfDVuKYN

It has been a really long time since I last wrote a caption for something I posted or reposted in here but this is worth breaking the fast for: I was privileged to be among the first people to participate in this program and I have to say I reaped the fruits almost immediately after planting the seeds. The team behind it are amazing, knowledgeable, skilled, energetic and experienced facilitators with the most respected global industry professionals within their network who supported through the most insightful coaching sessions among other interventions. I had fun, a lot to reflect on, heart to hearts and a very clear way forward. I completed the program, convinced without any doubt that my growth really is beyond limits after the intense weeks of workshops. Thank you so much WhyLead Consultancy for your dedication in supporting personal and professional growth without forgetting my fellow cohort members and my colleagues for supporting me while going through this, especially Safarani Seushi. Your patience in learning about my experience and sharing insights kept it even more valuable and exciting. cc: Ben Owden https://lnkd.in/dMNnWtPs

To-do lists, smart goals, and resolution goals are not magical keys to a productive life. Productivity apps, to do lists or even smart goals are key to elevating your ability to get things done, but they are not the primary reasons. A huge chunk of being productive lies in other habits. Below we share what helps us as WhyLead be productive. But we’d like to hear about what makes you productive? Please share. Ben Owden

Dear Middle Manager, What if your fear didn’t hold you back? What if your voice was amplified across the organization? What if there was no hidden potential in your teams? What if there were no missed opportunities in your teams? What if there was no leadership confusion? What if there were no more silos but absolute unity? We all know the outcomes of this reality are immeasurable for both the leader and the organization. And we have a program to help middle managers get to this reality. Thrive in the Middle is a 12 week program calling on all middle managers to embrace their role as agents of growth, alignment, culture and change within their organizations. We believe if the Middle Manager thrives, everyone in the organization wins. Competing priorities become shared priorities, pressure becomes fuel, and questions unite-not divide.

Trust fuels engagement. When people trust where they are going, their engagement level is higher. When people trust who is taking them there, their engagement level is higher. When people trust who stands next to them, their engagement is higher. When people trust who sits in the room they can't be in just yet, their engagement level is higher. Trust fuels engagement. Middle managers need to have a strong currency of trust with direct reports, line managers, and peers. Enroll to Thrive in the Middle today.

We facilitated a Leadership retreat earlier this year before the launch of the second phase of NEST360. It was a delight to be part of the impactful work of NEST360. This second phase builds upon on the achievements of its first, focusing on scaling up newborn care and enhancing quality coverage of newborns in Sub-Saharan Africa. An estimate of 2.3 Million newborns die every year around the globe and African countries have the highest mortality rates. NEST360, has the groundbreaking mission to reduce newborn mortality rate and limit newborn death to no more than 12 per 1,000 lives by 2030. The WhyLead leaders facilitated an engaging and meaningful retreat with the NEST360 Leadership team in Tanzania, focusing on how giving and receiving feedback contributes to building cohesive teams.
