Last week, our leaders embarked on another chapter of the LeadForward Programme, an 18-month leadership development journey. LeadForward aims to nurture leadership skills and act as one of the foundational blocks driving personal and professional growth. This chapter focused on enhancing our leaders’ mental agility, where our teams immersed themselves in real-world challenges, navigating high-pressure decision-making and trust-building exercises guided by four essential pillars: 1. The Power of Tactical 2. Bonding Framing and Fighting Cognitive Biases 3. Defining an Ethical Framework 4. Producing Creative Solutions Under Pressure This opportunity allowed our team members to bravely explore the psychology of high-stakes negotiations which contributed to pushing boundaries and unlocking their potential further, ultimately boosting their leadership capabilities. Our goal is clear: equip our leaders with the tools to lead with confidence, both individually and as one team. We expect the impact of this experience will create ripple effects across our entire Group, sparking more leadership excellence. A big thank you to Emma El-Karout, Dustin Woods, Ellen Schneider Cousin, and Zaur Shiraliyev for their dedication and vision in driving this transformative initiative. Their commitment to our leaders' growth is truly inspiring! To our LeadForward participants, we applaud your courage, resilience, and commitment to personal and professional growth. I look forward to the next milestone on the LeadForward program as we continue united in our pursuit of excellence and continuous growth. #Leadership #MentalAgility #LeadForward #WeAreChalhoub Chalhoub Group

Imagine if every team member had the chance to become a leader. Broadening leadership development creates fairness and fuels innovation. Many organisations focus on a select few, overlooking potential leaders. This missed opportunity narrows the organisation’s vision and limits growth. Recognising leadership potential across all levels can uncover hidden talents. Diversity in leadership leads to better decisions, innovation, and stronger connections with customers. Technology and mentorship are critical tools for expanding leadership development on a budget. Real-world learning opportunities must be integrated into daily roles to cultivate leadership skills. Opening up leadership development isn't just fair—it's a strategic move to ensure organisational success. When everyone has a shot at leadership, our businesses are more robust, innovative, and ready for the future. The role of a leader is to create more leaders. #Leadership #Innovation #Leader #Growth #Team #People

Updated Number 1! Recently, I’ve been conducting Leadership Coaching. As one of these engagements was wrapping up, I formulated these 7 Commitments for Womxn Leaders. Some of these ideas are old (actually, they’re ancient); some of them are newer. While the ordering is different from many I’ve seen, they reflect my firm beliefs around how and why womxn leaders lead, and how womxn leaders must take care of themselves to continue to lead. These commitments remind us that our true power is twofold: modeling how we want leadership to look and work and lifting others up - and keeping them lifted. I could write about this forever; however, I’ll save those observations for a blog post. Note what I chose for number 2. Not an accident. 1. Believe in our own power and leadership.- lead from who we are and wherever we find ourselves. 2. Take care of ourselves and help other exhausted and underrepresented people do the same. 3. Speak truth to power. 4. Be an Ally. 5. Serve as role models by being as transparent and vulnerable as possible - sharing our struggles and using our voices and power to point the way forward. 6. Recognize the unrecognized. Praise them whenever possible. Lift them up and help them stay lifted. 7. Elevate people who aren’t quite ready and ensure they are supported to reach their potential. If you’re ready to explore your leadership and level it up, message me. And, if you’re not quite ready? Message me anyway! #leadershipcoaching #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #careercoach #womenempoweringwomen #executivecoaching #executivecoachingforwomen #career #womensempowerment #neversettle #manifestallday #executivecoach #women #coaching 

Today I attended a fabulous multi-generational discussion panel by Salisbury's Women's Leadership Council (@wlcsby). I was struck by how many times the theme of having a supportive circle of friends came up as one of the main factors in how they stay grounded and encouraged. In leadership development, we often emphasize formal training, mentorship, and hands-on experience. But one crucial element that’s sometimes overlooked is the role of a strong circle of friends in shaping effective leadership skills. Trusted friends serve as sounding boards, offering honest feedback and helping us navigate challenges that refine our leadership approach. Great leaders don't exist in a vacuum; they are nurtured by the people around them. A supportive circle of friends can provide critical insights and fresh perspectives, challenge us to think bigger, and encourage us when we face setbacks. They help us reflect on our decisions, hold us accountable to our goals, and offer valuable advice in moments of uncertainty. As you work to hone your leadership abilities, remember that the people you surround yourself with matter. True friends can inspire you to grow, push your boundaries, and keep you grounded. They can help you see not just where you are, but where you're capable of going. Leadership development isn’t just about what you learn—it’s also about who you learn with. Invest in friendships that fuel your growth as a leader. #womeninleadership #poweroffriendship #leadership #friendship

🔶 Effective leadership and mentorship are the cornerstone of creating a successful and sustainable organization. A true leader not only focuses on achieving goals but also on developing and empowering their team members to reach their full potential. ▶ As Simon Sinek once said, "Leadership is not about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in your charge." This embodies the essence of effective leadership - caring for and nurturing your team to help them grow and succeed. 🔆 Mentorship plays a crucial role in this journey. By sharing knowledge, providing guidance, and offering support, mentors can inspire and shape the next generation of leaders. As we navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, fostering a culture of mentorship and leadership development is essential for organizational success. Let's commit to being leaders who lead with empathy, integrity, and vision. Let's be the mentors who uplift, guide, and inspire those around us. Together, we can create a positive and impactful environment where everyone thrives. ✌ #Leadership #Mentorship #Success #Empowerment #SimonSinek #Inspiration

Monday Mindset 🧠 Recently, I have been learning, unlearning and relearning a lot. During this time, I have been reminded of how emotional Intelligence is a necessity for leadership and healthy relationships. Emotionally intelligent individuals are not only aware of how they feel, they consider how they make others feel too. "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" Maya Angelou. When was the last time you thought about how you make others feel?...🤔 👋🏾👏🏼 We're The Like Me CIC - a Leadership Development Training organisation. 🦸🏾♀️We specialise in empowering female leaders to overcome obstacles, fulfil their potential and advance to become effective leaders who flourish. 📩 Send a message for more information about our Lunch & Learns which support this.
