Send us a textEvery organization needs a hero. Now, I'm not going to disclose the companies, but right now we're working with three different companies where each organization is lucky enough to have a hero. Now, a hero is somebody that is willing to speak up, talk to upper level management, represent the views of the people. Now, with that being said, I even cringe saying what I just shared with you. See, I think everybody should go to the source. I think where we have a lack of trust in the workplace is when people tell other people and they don't tell the people that are the most important. The people that they're complaining about are the people that they need to work more effectively with the source. See, heroes are willing to listen. Heroes will take things on on top of their own job duties. Heroes will do that for the betterment of the organization, not themselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If this episode intrigues you check out our Coaching Career Conversation Course: Click Here and this comes with Free Access to our 2023 Coaching Summit in Orlando Florida next Year: Click here for more information here is a short informational webinar: 2023 Summit Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a text Recently, I've talked to two different companies. One, a financial services firm, and another one in the manufacturing sector. Both were telling me of potential pending layoffs. Change is coming. Now I'm gonna do something that's gonna be perceived, at least initially, to be a little bit insensitive. Now, what are employees gonna do? Are employees actually gonna come and say, What can I do to help you? I know the company's in trouble, or the company needs extra effort. See what's been happening the last couple years is we've gotta figure out ways to make sure our employees are happy. We gotta give them flex scheduling, and I'm not against any of those things yet. I also go back to an article I wrote a few years ago. What if we abolished payroll and employees invoiced for their time? And somebody said, Wow, that would really drive work ethic. See, I'm afraid we've worked around employees, their issues. I'm gonna say it, stress, anxiety, mental health, all important things. Yet we've also had a certain percentage of the industry and population say, Well, I'm feeling a little stressed. And they kind of grab ahold of that as a tool to not work as hard as potentially as they could. Now, my little company here, we don't have that choice. We have to work hard. Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a text At Progress Coaching, we do not get involved in interviewing work or interviewing skills or anything like that. The one thing I would share with all of you more than anything is that when we're hiring people, I think we have to change what we do. I think we have to really, really get people to be transparent with the themselves. I hear all too often, especially, and I'm gonna say it from the younger generation. I don't think the older generation does it as much. I think we all can do this is as we tend to take a job as a stepping stone yet. You don't say that in the interview, right? You don't say, well, I'm gonna be here about six to 12 months, and then I'm gonna move on and I'm gonna take the training that you gave me and I'm going to take it to another company. Most people don't do that right yet. I think the employer today should ask some very pointed questions and I think it can help organizations reestablish their workplace culture.  Checkout Our 12 Conversations Every Leader Should Be Able to Have Course: https://progress-coaching-academy.thinkific.com/courses/12-conversations-every-leader-must-be-able-to-have(Sign up and get 90 Day Free Trial in Our Coaching PODS Community: $600 Value) Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a textThe process is flawed! We interview and people provide answers to get the job. They (the applicants) never once say"Just so you know my crappy attitude shows up at 90 days and I start undermining people. At 6 months I lose my motivation and will want more money so please get prepared. Last, do not bother me with extra work because the Quite Quitting thing sounds pretty good and I will displaying that at about 9 months."                                                  PLEASE TELL ME You Are Laughing?Let's get back to the Fundamentals: If you are hired to do a job and you get paid ... DO THE JOB!Employees are NOT hired to demonstrate a negative attitude ... SO STOP ACTING THAT WAY! Let's get back to doing a good job, going above & beyond the call of duty, and helping teammates out when needed with a positive demeanor .. WOW THAT SOUNDS REFRESHING!When employees interview and say they are helpful and great teammates ... ACT LIKE IT!If you (employee) are feeling undervalued or not challenged schedule a time with your boss and ask for feedback and REALLY LISTEN! It does not mean you need to agree yet its better than never talking to them and sharing your hardships with teammates who cannot really help you!Look this has probably come off cynical to some and I am okay with that. Leaders and organizations ARE NOT in charge of employee's careers. They provide opportunities but at the end of the day its up to the employee so why do we put so much on the leader?Checkout our Newsletter Article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/quiet-quitting-some-bullshit-tim-hagen/Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a textCorporate America needs to reestablish the great employee. Corporate America to a certain extent cannot continue to appease and placate employees. Now let me explain. 41% of employees today are actually leaving due to a lack of career development. Over 80 to 85% of employees, lack self-awareness. Today's talent shortage is leading companies to create benefits and flexible workspaces and higher salaries and signing bonuses, yet what they're not doing is establishing workplace expectations. Let me explain further - when somebody is onboarded at a company, think about that. Onboarding typically is specific to the job expectations and duties and justifiably. I think a missing piece is behavioral expectations, sitting down with a candidate and say, look, if we hire you in the first year, we are probably not going to have conversations around career advancement. Here's why it's gonna take you 12 months to fully get used to our culture, your job, and your work.

Send us a text Recently, I was collaborating with a client and the client was expressing some frustration with an employee. During our conversation he stated he was very frustrated by what the employee was doing. He began to share two or three situations where the employee was doing things incorrectly and I said at its foundation, what do you think the employee needs to improve? He immediately said attitude and teamwork. I then asked a question, how are you currently coaching to those two areas? His response was very interesting. He stated to me, this is what he is doing right now. I challenged his thought premise by saying, you are reacting to a situation versus proactively cultivating a positive attitude and sense of teamwork. He said, what do you mean? I said, you are mentioning situations and you are responding as if you are almost triggered by these events. He said, I think I am triggered by these events. I then shared, I am wondering if you are reacting to the situations and coaching to the situation, and it is causing the defensiveness even further with your employee? My client immediately thought to himself, this is interesting because that is exactly what is happening. I said, how are you having conversations around attitude and teamwork outside of situations? He said, what is the difference? I said, the difference is you are coaching to a situation. You are reacting to something that's occurred so somebody is probably feeling put on the spot or is in a very defensive mode, almost defending what they did right or wrong in their mind and I'm wondering if that's coming at the expense of a really good, authentic, thoughtful, proactive conversation that could occur to develop a positive attitude in teamwork. He said, how can I go about doing that? I said, well, first, have conversations on a regular basis that focus on those two areas. Number two have learning projects such as having this employee come in every single week with something that they did positive above and beyond the call of duty that exemplified a positive attitude in teamwork. Now you are creating positive situations and cultivating the experience and behaviors that the employee needs to adopt.  I think a critical component we all need to be aware of is that we tend to be very triggered by what we see wrong or what we want to correct. Then we call it coaching. I would call that Situational Reaction.  We have to be very proactive and focused outside of situations so our coaching stands on its own versus supporting a corrective action that can really be masked or perceived as beingWelcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a textQuiet Quitting is not a new concept. Maybe it's a different name and a different label yet, we've had quiet quitting for decades. We need to get back to the fundamentals of employment. If you are hired to do a job, you should be hired to do that job to the best of your ability. There is not a job description in the world that encourages people to not try or to gossip or to be negative in the workplace. Yet, Sadly, that seems to be the case in many organizations. Think about the great studies done by the Gallup organization or less than one third of employees today are truly engaged with the rest either being neutrally or actively disengaged, meaning possessing negative tendencies. We need to get back to the basics. If you are hired to do a job, your first objective is to do that job to the best of your ability not to stop short, not to do things that slight the company, but to do the best job you possibly can.  Now, what can leaders do? They can sit down and find out from every one of their employees, what they're motivated by,  what their goals are, and if we can bridge those motivators, those goals, with the expectations of the job, we will have a productive workforce. Let me give you an example. If you have somebody who has a goal of starting their own company and let's say they work for a leader who can't provide that opportunity yet, knowing that in a very trusting, worthwhile environment positions, that leader can have an exchange of value. The exchange of value is maybe they get him a magazine subscription to entrepreneur or gets them a book on entrepreneurship while asking them to maintain the highest level of commitment to their job. What happens is when we don't know what motivates somebody is, the job becomes the place to where we try to motivate yet, if that is not the motivation, if that is not the person's ideal destination, guess what happens their mind wanders? Does their mind wander positively or does it wander negatively? It typically wanders negatively. Quiet Quitting happens every single day. It is my contention that we need to teach people in the onboarding process of the highest expectations behaviorally and NOT merely the duties “of the job”.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------                    Get More Info on Our Employee Difference Training Program:                                             https://form.jotform.com/222493527581158------------------Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.
