Managers are cracking - and more training won't help. Globally we are experiencing an increasingly unsettled employer-employee relationship with employees feeling disempowered and sceptical due to consinuous change. Shockingly - only 8% of people are feeling confident about their employer's plan to actively manage change. This is from the latest Gartner trends report. Link in the comments. We live in a world that is increasingly characterised by rapid changes, and it's not going to go away anytime soon. Skills are certainly important, but more important than ever is addressing the whole person. Work and careers are changing, and one of the trends we are going to start seeing more of is adaptive career path planning. This is about facilitating career growth by aligning business needs with employee’s larger goals, interests, and skills that enable employees to expand. And how do we do that? Simple. We give our people the freedom and the resources to figure out exactly WHO THEY ARE, and then we use that to align with our strategic goals. Not the other way around!

If you're in South Africa, did you also notice a shift in the energy on Monday? Like the collective mood of the entire country was suddenly more tolerant, more patient, more generous. Totally attributed to the the Bok's World Cup victory on the weekend of course, but here's what I find interesting: This shift in mood was brought about by our elation at our victory. And the elation led to a deeper sense of purpose - this is what showed up across society on Monday. So if we can achieve this united sense of purpose as a country, surely it is replicable as a team? Our sense of purpose is what brings us together, and makes us work towards and celebrate a common goal. That sense of purpose is unleashed through changing the underlying emotion. Starting with elation, subsiding into happiness, and sustaining through joy. Elation and happiness are emotions that result from external stimuli, and they subside. But if we use that to access inner joy, then we can sustain a sense of purpose much longer. On a macro level, I'm not sure the nation will sustain a deeper sense of meaning. But on a micro level, you CAN sustain this deeper sense of meaning if you curate the emotions on an individual level. Happy people are more tolerant and more generous as we witnessed on Monday. This extends to better decision-making, better relationships, and continues rippling out into society. Doesn't this sound like a better way of working for you? For your team? Enter the Joy Journey! Available as 1:1 coaching, keynote, or facilitation, this program has been designed to shift emotions sustainably, leading to culture shifts.

Want to hear a new spin on "purpose"? From the minute we are born, we initiate a process of desire and growth. Babies have pretty simple desires and they make it known when these desires are not met. When the desire is met, they grow. Purpose achieved. So why do we complicate this as we grow? We have desires, but we stifle them. And because we don't reach out for that which we desire, we don't grow. And when we don't grow, we feel like life has no meaning. No PURPOSE. So let's simplify things shall we? What do you desire? - A promotion? - To start a business? - A better career? - To achieve your sales targets? - Greater confidence? Step 1: Acknowledge that desire. Step 2: Act like a baby - make it known, and reach out for it. Stop squishing it! Step 3: Embrace the growth journey Step 4: Repeat. That is purpose. Simple. I can help you find purpose by helping you figure out what you desire and how to get it. Message me. Let's plan! #chansadavice = LETS DO THIS!

A few weeks ago someone booked a CV Coaching call with me, and I confess I wasn't too excited about it. Her current CV was beyond bland and there was nothing on there that gave me any indication of hidden value adds that I could maybe extract. I have just gone through her first draft and I am BLOWN AWAY! It's like two different people! This is a CV that's going to open doors for her. Here's what I taught her that brought about such a radical transformation: ⭐ include a strong sentiment displaying who she is ⭐ shift from duties to outcomes ⭐ create a narrative that shows clearly what her next step is ⭐ include volunteering and leadership roles Simple changes, radical transformation! Have you looked at your CV lately? Is it selling you? If not - do something about it! #chansadvice = LETS DO THIS! #IAM – Inspire | Articulate | Master #IdentityInformsInsight —————————— 🦋 I am Chantelle – I believe Identity informs Insight 💡 I help people get more YES’s in their career by embracing their truest identity. ⛔ If what you’re doing isn’t working, you need to change both mindset and strategy! 📢 I also offer speaking and training on Identity as a precursor to building high performance cultures.
