🌟 Thursday Thoughts: Embracing Growth and Opportunities 🌟 As we approach the end of another productive week, I am reminded of the power of continuous learning and the opportunities that come with embracing growth. Whether it’s through taking on new challenges, building strong networks, or simply reflecting on our progress, every step forward counts. Today, I encourage everyone to: 1️⃣ Seize opportunities – even the smallest steps can lead to big outcomes. 2️⃣ Stay curious – growth comes from learning, questioning, and exploring new ideas. 3️⃣ Support each other – collaboration and mentorship are keys to collective success. Let’s finish the week strong and continue making impactful strides towards our personal and professional goals. 💪💼 #ThursdayThoughts #GrowthMindset #Opportunities #Leadership #ContinuousLearning

Most of us tend to talk about "Coaching & Mentoring" as though the two words have the same meaning. Luckily, Claude J. Werder has an elegant way of illuminating all of the nuances we often skip over when talking about what it means to "coach" and what it means to "mentor." And what it means to *be* coached or mentored. A few takeaways: ✨ Claude noted, "Coaching is the most personal type of learning you can have." ✨ Words matter. There is a huge difference between coaching for development as a person and/or professional, and "coaching" for punitive or corrective action. We often use the term "coaching" in a negative light. ✨ Mentorship has a different objective than coaching. Coaching objectives are often set by the coach and/or organization. Objectives for mentoring are typically set by the mentee. A crucial difference. ✨ We always assume the best coaches come from within. But that's not scalable for many organizations, and it lacks the third-party objectivity that an external resource may provide. ✨ For coaching or mentoring to be valuable, it requires active participation from *both* parties. If the mentee is disengaged, or if there is a misalignment in desired outcomes, your mentoring efforts may be ineffective. 🔮 Also loved Claude's prediction. But no spoilers here, have a listen! P.S. I can't finish this post without mentioning my favorite soundbite: "It wouldn't be a podcast episode if somebody didn't mention AI. So congratulations . . . " 😂 It's the world we live in now, folks.

Our People Activation strategy is founded on the belief that effective coaching and mentoring is what’s needed to support every individual to be their best in the workplace 💯It’s even more true for the younger generations–especially Gen Z. With every answer at their fingertips and their parents hovering over them at every turn, to unlock success in the workplace they need to be shown how to initiate and take responsibility for their own learning, which is often about asking better questions more than it is seeking someone who can give them the answer. #business #success #genz #leadership #employeemanagement #strategy #nextgen #nextgeneration #nextgenleaders #successtip #keynotespeaker

I love curating transformational group experiences that leave participants feeling empowered and connected. Recently, a participant in one of my group coaching sessions shared this feedback: “Working with Ghita was an absolute pleasure. Ghita's organization skills are impeccable; she provided a clear roadmap of what to expect and consistently delivered on her promises. The combination of group sharing, content review, and small group discussions created a well-rounded learning experience.” If your organization or team is looking to build trust, enhance leadership skills, and cultivate engaging group dynamics through transformative coaching and facilitation, let's connect! #GroupCoaching #Facilitation #Transformation #LeadershipDevelopment #Testimonial
