Making the transformation to becoming a Mindful Leader is a journey that is different for every individual and organisation. We all come with different backgrounds, diverse attributes, different learning styles and our approach is customised to your organization’s unique competencies and learning preferences.
Our approach includes a strong emphasis on involvement of stakeholders (your team, your boss, your boss’s boss, your customers, your peers inside and outside the organisation), implementation of change and follow-through to measure your growth. In the end, the only thing that counts is your leadership growth.
Our coaching approach incorporates mindfulness tools, listening skills and empathetic awareness that not only allow you to better interact with your team but to enable you to have better insights into your own motivation, capabilities and behavior.
Our goal is to build the right competencies within you and within the people in your organization to more rapidly, more cost effectively develop your organization’s capabilities using the talent that you already have in place. Our approach cultivates internal, self-actualized, sustainable change through continuous action until it is inculcated within each leader as second nature.
Over more sessions and meetings than we care to count, we’ve always come back to the same conclusion: Mindful leaders create incredibly high-performance teams and individuals. Mindful leadership is a way to strengthen and cultivate four competencies of leadership; execution excellence, clarity, creativity and compassion. All mindful leaders are high on these 4 competencies and they are always:
- authentic, building trust and integrity;
- presently aware of themselves and their impact on others;
- able to sustain effectiveness as leaders;
- compassionate on themselves and others.
So, we’ve begun, one session, one workshop, and one client at a time to help create the leadership that builds high performing teams within a sustained growing organization.
Leadership Development – Leaders are lonely at the top and real feedback for change is rare. We partner with leaders in their journey of discovery and support them with sustainable change through our genuine feedback.
Management Coaching – We partner with new managers and their teams on their transformation journey. Our focus is on building fundamental management principles and their application, areas of communication, performance management and team development.
Competency Assessment – Your competency is assessed using the Marshall Goldsmith® leadership competency framework, in conjunction with tools like 360 and MBTI, to identify development needs.
