Send us a textI think we have it wrong when it comes to developing leaders within our organizations. If leaders make up let's say 15% of the organization and we have 85% of the organization who needs to receive that leadership we need to cultivate the mindset and the reception of that 85% so the 15% can be heard and accepted.  People go through high school and college never attending classes on how to seek and accept feedback thoughtfully and professionally. People go through high school and college never attending classes and what it means to be a fantastic teammate once they reach the workplace. We inherit people who for eight to 10 years have no idea of what it's like to accept feedback or what it's like to be great teammate within a workplace organization. This ultimately creates discord within the workplace often leading to leadership challenges that I daresay are quite unnecessary. What if we taught employees how to accept and seek feedback on their own terms? What if we taught employees how to accept feedback openly and honestly even when they disagree with the feedback? What if we taught employees the value of not only accepting but also learning how to provide coaching as a skill set? These three attributes would lead to greater workplace engagement and talent developmentWelcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a textThe triangle of coaching is a very simple concept yet there are some unique attributes of each stage we encourage organizations to adopt. One of the most fundamental mistakes I think organizations make is we spend so much money on a top-down approach specifically teaching leaders how to lead their employees. When you think about a traditional organization of let's say 100 or 1000 people typically about 80% of the people are employees or individual contributors. This is where the opportunity really exists for organizations to also build a bottom-up approach.Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

Send us a textFeedback is a very tough subject for people. It is our contention here at Progress Coaching people dismiss or accept feedback based on their agreement germane to the feedback. What most people don't understand is feedback is not a literal thing yet it is also morphed in perception. When somebody provides an employee feedback such as you are coming off negative and the employees first responses no I'm not. They are taking it literally when in fact the leader is providing an opportunity to alter perception which obviously leads to greater collaboration and teamwork for the employee.Get Info on Our Feedback Progression Training Program Where We Teach How to Seek & Receive Feedback Professionally as Well As How to Deliver Feedback Professionally So Its Accepted.

The first 90 to 180 days of every new manager's position will be met with resistance, lack of support, and certainly excitement by becoming a new manager.

Send us a textThere are so many views on feedback and how people should perceive feedback. I saw a post that created different viewpoints from feedback as a gift to other viewpoints where people felt feedback was not a gift. I think the one thing that we often miss when it comes to feedback is that feedback is a choice to provide, and it is also a choice to accept. First, let us talk about the value of providing feedback. I go back over 38 years ago to my manager Martha Sheffield at IBM during a college internship where I was ready to quit my job cause I was really lost in terms of what I was doing and she said something to me that I'll never forget that really illustrated the value of feedback: She said “why do you think I provide you this feedback? I provide you this feedback because I am willing to take my time to tell you things that most people will never take the time to tell you so you have an opportunity to improve, and that choice will always be yours”. after she had shared that with me, I asked her what she called that, and she said coaching. That was the day I decided to go into coaching in the workplace as a 21-year-old college student and I owe her a debt of gratitude for that decision. When providing feedback language is critical. Leaders must possess language and conversational skills that allow people to accept feedback willingly, openly, and professionally. Look at the two statements below and ask yourself which set of feedback would you be more willing to listen to number one or #2: 1.       John, I need to provide you some constructive feedback in the areas of...2.       John, we have an awesome opportunity to raise your game in a specific area that will allow you to reach your goals specific to...The second example illustrates tying feedback to what motivates a person not merely what we think motivates a person. When we use the words constructive or feedback it typically will prompt emotional reaction. Replace the words feedback with the word’s opportunity, perspective, or insight.Checkout Our Program Feedback Progressions: Click HereWelcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.

If some is tired going up a flight of stairs we typically say lets stop and rest concerned for the person. In reality the person needs to workout more so those stairs are not as difficult. We have to create counter measures to fatigue!Welcome to Coaching Conversations We have created a NEW and Innovative line of books called Workplace Coaching Books.
