Celebrate Women's History Month with us on March 12, 2024 at Minneapolis Marriott West for the first-ever Associations North SheMoves conference, where Tammy Krings, Conversations That Matter will lead a breakout workshop on authentic leadership for experienced association professionals. Register today! https://lnkd.in/gGpb4Jih. Authentic leadership is powerful. Check out this data: 🔶 Only 18% of individuals trust business leaders to tell the truth. 🔶 Uninspiring leaders only drive 23% engagement within their teams. 🔶 Close to 50% of managers do not trust their own leaders to do the right thing. 🔶 Where authenticity is encouraged, employee production increases by 20% If it’s so clear that authentic leadership is what we all want and need, why is it so hard to get it? At The Conversations That Matter, we believe that core values drive our behaviors. In fact, most adult’s values are pretty set and don’t change easily. In addition to our core values, we each interact with the world around us in our own ways. The trick is that our interaction with the ‘outside’ is a moving target. Depending on a whole bunch of circumstances, including but not limited to environment, location, others influencing the situation, sleep, health, past situations, and so many more, we might act and react differently based on the truth we are experiencing. In The Inside-Out Approach to Leadership, we start by really knowing ourselves. In every situation where we want to show up as an authentic leader, we must factor in things that influence our behaviors beyond our core values. Sometimes this can be done on-the-fly, but most of the time, it requires intentionality. During this 45-minute workshop we will act as your guide as you pause and go inward to define how you want to lead by becoming an intentional, authentic leader. In this workshop, you will: 🔶 explore your personal values and how they do or don’t align with your Leadership Values 🔶 define how what being an Authentic Leader looks like for you – your intentions, your behaviors and your commitments 🔶 create your action plan for being an Authentic Leader using The Conversations That Matter model for Courageous Leadership #SheMoves24 #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenshistorymonth

Do you find yourself struggling to articulate your point, only to think of everything you wished you would have said about three hours AFTER being put on the spot? It's a common experience, and one that tends to affect us all! As we ascend into leadership roles and engage with higher-level executives or more significant clients, the window of time for effective communication shortens, and the stakes rise to make a clear impact in the moment. This underscores the critical importance of mastering the skill of communicating your point of view clearly and confidently, especially when under pressure. At TLRdynamics, we recognise the unique challenges that women often encounter in the workplace compared to men. That's why our Resilient Women Leaders programme is designed to provide women with the essential leadership tools and language needed to navigate through these challenges. By participating in this programme, you'll gain the confidence to be who you are and do what you do best, all while effectively communicating your perspective in high-stakes situations. We delve into the challenges that women often encounter in the workplace compared to men, particularly focusing on navigating through the existing bias barriers. Our discussion encompasses the key elements of the Resilient Leaders Elements framework: clarity of direction, awareness, leadership presence and resilient decision making. The ultimate goal is to cultivate authentic leadership because, beyond mere skill or an archetypal leadership style, it is authenticity that truly empowers you as a leader. Join us next week on our latest programme as we uncover the essential elements of effective leadership, and how embracing authenticity can pave the way for impactful and fulfilling leadership experiences.

🌟 Elevating Women's Voices in Leadership 🌟 With Dr. Carol Gill and Isabel Metz, I've embarked on a research project to delve deep into women’s leadership identity. Over the past few weeks, I have been interviewing over 30 alumni from the Melbourne Business School Women in Leadership Programs. We're uncovering the essence of what makes a leader truly great. These discussions have been nothing short of inspiring, filling me with hope for the future of leadership. Here are some high-level themes that have emerged: 🤖 "Humans not robots" - The hallmark of exceptional leadership is the balance between empathy and accountability. It starts with self-awareness: acknowledging one's mistakes, owning them, and sharing lessons learned for future betterment. This principle extends to how we lead teams and individuals, fostering an environment where empathy and accountability coexist. 🎧 Sensemaking and Active Listening - The ability to deeply understand people and situations, and to distill and communicate the essence of what is important, is crucial. There's wisdom in the idea that if you can't summarise your message in 10 words or less, you're not ready to share it. Great leaders are adept at making complex information accessible and meaningful to everyone. 💗 Growth Mindset - A leader's capacity to see potential in others before they see it in themselves and to empower them to grow is transformative. Embracing a growth mindset—for themselves, others, and the organisation—is about moving beyond mistakes and failures to focus on development and progress. ⬆ Clarity of Purpose - Inspiring leadership goes beyond motivation through fear; it's about connecting people to a shared purpose. This purpose isn't dictated but developed collectively, creating a strong sense of commitment and direction. 🚀 A Call to Action Investing in women's leadership development is not just beneficial; it's essential for cultivating great leadership. I urge leaders this week of International Women's Day to engage with their stakeholders in defining what great leadership means to them. Use these insights as a springboard for self-reflection and growth. By investing in women and leadership development, we're investing in a brighter, more inclusive future for all. #LeadershipDevelopment #WomenInLeadership #GrowthMindset #EmpathyInLeadership #PurposeDrivenLeadership #FutureOfLeadership

As we have watched the Democratic National Convention unfold here in Chicago, I have been struck by the palpable energy and the major shift in our leadership landscape. The DNC is more than just a political event—it is a powerful and hopeful reflection of a much fuller spectrum of leadership, where diverse voices and perspectives matter. We are in the midst of a profound transformation in leadership. The days of one-size-fits-all, top-down leadership are fading. It looks, sounds, and feels like we are embracing a model of leadership that values inclusivity, authenticity, and the unique strengths that each leader brings to the table. This shift is more than just a trend; it's a necessary evolution that empowers us all to show up as our true selves, fostering environments where collaboration, innovation, and possibilities can thrive. If you are reading this and open to thinking in this way, I invite you to check out my upcoming book, **LEADERSHIP TYPES: A Barrier-Breaking Approach to Transform the Leadership Landscape**. As we navigate these challenging times, the need for leaders who can authentically connect, inspire, and drive meaningful change has never been more apparent. This book seeks to empower readers to identify and harness their unique leadership strengths, ensuring that we are not only effective but also impactful in our roles. Visit leadershiptypes.com to learn more. The excitement around the DNC reminds us that leadership is not just about holding a title—it's about making an impact, inspiring change, and driving progress. It challenges all of us to step into our leadership roles with authenticity, to lead with purpose, and to embrace the tension that comes with breaking the mold. As we move forward, let’s take this inspiration from the DNC and channel it into our own leadership journeys. Let’s commit to leading with the courage to be different, the vision to be expansive, and the heart to empower those around us. **Leadership is evolving. The time to evolve with it is now.** 💪 #Leadership #DNC #AuthenticLeadership #LeadershipTypes #SpectrumOfLeadershipEmpowerment #Inclusion #LeadershipDevelopment #Empowerment

Leadership plays a pivotal role in driving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within an organization. However, a significant challenge many companies face is the lack of diversity and inclusive mindsets in their leadership teams. When leadership does not reflect the diverse tapestry of its workforce, it can lead to a disconnect in understanding and addressing DEI issues effectively. The Powell Consulting Group recognizes that inclusive leadership is key to unlocking the full potential of DEI initiatives. Our approach focuses on empowering leaders at all levels to understand and embrace DEI principles. Through our customized training and workshops, we equip leaders with the tools and knowledge to foster an inclusive environment where every employee feels valued and heard. Our programs are not just about awareness; they’re about action. We help leaders develop the skills to manage diverse teams, address unconscious bias, and lead with empathy and understanding. By transforming leadership perspectives and practices, we lay the foundation for a more diverse and inclusive workplace. Embracing DEI at the leadership level is just the start. Join us in our next post as we explore how The Powell Consulting Group addresses systemic challenges to create lasting change in your organization. https://lnkd.in/gJTiZXu7 . . . #DEI #InclusionMatters #DiversityandInclusion #EquityNow #RepresentationMatters #BiasAwareness #Belonging

Excited to share that GLOW facilitated its 33rd batch of a #leadership program for a leading automotive company. We had a fantastic cohort of 35 participants, including 5 inspiring women. The program emphasized the importance of #selfawareness as the foundation for building #inclusive leadership. Throughout the sessions, we underscored the significance of deep listening as a fundamental aspect of effective #communication, fostering an environment where every voice is heard and valued. Dialogue emerged as a central theme, with meaningful conversations explored as catalysts for innovation and for building bridges across functions. The program also highlighted the importance of #conflictresolution, acknowledging that well-managed disagreements contribute to the development of stronger collaborative relationships. The GLOWING (pun intended!) feedback from our engaged participants speaks volumes. The overall program was perceived as interactive and eye-opening, with participants expressing appreciation for the fun yet insightful approach to skill development and self-awareness. Key feedback highlights include: •A very interactive and enjoyable learning experience. • The program was well-organized and overall commendable. • Engaging role-plays and creative elements kept the team actively involved. As we continue to invest in our Emerging Leaders, we are dedicated to cultivating a culture of inclusive leadership. We take pride in witnessing the team actively participate and benefit from this initiative. Looking forward to furthering our commitment to growth and inclusivity.

In our journey towards becoming Anti-Racist Leaders, how are we harnessing the power of empathy and active listening to drive change? 🔄 This week, we're exploring these critical tools in building more inclusive and understanding professional environments. 🌍 Empathy in leadership goes beyond mere understanding; it's about genuinely connecting with the experiences and challenges faced by Black individuals and communities. It demands from us, especially in leadership roles, a commitment to hear without bias and to learn from these narratives. This approach not only fosters a culture of inclusivity but also lays the groundwork for dismantling systemic inequities that persist in our workplaces. 🛠️ For those of us in leadership and coaching roles, the challenge is to model this behavior. Start by facilitating conversations that elevate diverse voices and experiences. One actionable step is to dedicate a portion of your coaching sessions or team meetings to discuss and reflect on inclusion, making a conscious effort to listen more than you speak. As we continue to learn and grow as allies, let's take deliberate steps to ensure our leadership embodies the principles of empathy and active listening. What actions will you commit to this week to cultivate an environment that champions equity and inclusion? Your insights are invaluable. 🌟 #LeadersForChange #EmpatheticLeadership #InclusiveExcellence #ActiveListeningLeads #BlackHistoryMonth2024

Holding Those We Lead Accountable and Having Difficult Conversations. As leaders, one crucial skill we must master is the ability to lead diverse teams effectively. It's natural to gravitate towards engaging, committed, and high-performing individuals. However, true leadership is demonstrated when we can navigate the complexities of leading those who may not fit this mould. An effective leader is someone who can lead even those who are not easy to lead. The ones who ask difficult questions and are resistant to our leadership. This includes individuals we don’t have natural affinity to because they are not like us, as well as high performers who lack interpersonal skills and disrupt team dynamics. For those prone to people-pleasing, managing underperforming employees or navigating conflicts can be especially challenging. It may trigger deep-seated fears and childhood wounds associated with conflict and confrontation. However, these moments provide opportunities for growth, healing, and learning. To lead a high-performing team that produces effective results, we must confront our need to please others and our fear of conflict head-on. It's through these difficult conversations and experiences that we can cultivate resilience, strengthen our leadership skills, and foster a culture of accountability and growth within our teams. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
