Helping Organisations Thrive with Julian Roberts

Today I am interviewing Wendy Born who is a engaging facilitator, coach, speaker and author.   We explored the whole area of creating great leaders, with an approach of using the principles of parenting in the workplace. This is not about having parent-child relationships at work, as these are not helpful but using aspects like role modeling - being aware that as a leader you are always on show and being observed for the alignment of what you say and what you do.   Wendy has written a book o this called 'Raising Leaders: Using the principles of parenting at work to become a great leader and create great leaders'. The book is available on Amazon.   Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da0lmzUxG54   Connect with Wendy: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leadershipspecialist/ Website: http://www.wendyborn.com.au/ Email: wendy@wendyborn.com.au   If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.   As we end 2020 and look forward to 2021 it is important to take stock before we move on with purpose.   Use the holiday period to do the following, I call it the 3 R's.   1. Reflect - an important part of life it to reflect on life and use the insights as learnings, along with processing life. Find a place where you reflect the best, this could be outside in the woods.   2. Recharge - take time to recharge your batteries, spend time with friends and yourself, think am I an extrovert or introvert i.e. where do you get your energy from, people or yourself.   3. Realign - realign with your purpose and why, so often we drift away, so get back to it, this will give you focus along with motivation.   Have a wonderful holiday season, and wishing you a prosperous 2021.   Thanks for listening.     If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.   Perspectives! Perspective is just a point of view. If we realise that it is only that, a point of view, it will really help us in our quest to understand others better. It may appear as the truth, but really it is only true to ourselves. So if we are to become effective and engaging leaders, we need to fully understand others and their point of view, this does not mean we have to agree, but get a fully picture of what might be the truth. So before you jump to conclusions on someone’s action/motive, I would pause and try to gain a few different perspectives/options to gain a fuller understanding. Often I use a NLP technique with my coaching clients called Perceptual Positioning, it is a vey effective way to gain different perspectives on a situation, especially in a conflict one.

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.   Firstly, what is a thriving mode?   Thriving is living and thinking abundantly. Thriving is joyful and infectious. Thriving is having plenty of energy and inspiration.   So how to do we switch to a thriving mode? Here are some ways that will help you do that. Commit that you will choose to find the good in every circumstance, no matter the circumstance, there are always possibilities - Remember failure is just feedback on your journey! Fill your life with POSITIVITY not negativity – some ways to do that: Remind yourself of your purpose and Why, and keep focused on it. This remains the same despite your circumstances. Practice gratitude as this elicits a positive state as it releases dopamine and serotonin, two neurotransmitters that are responsible for our feel-good emotions. Celebrate success no matter how small. Do this on a personal level and on an individual level but also do it on a team level. Look for achievements on a daily and weekly basis.   If you want support in helping your organisation thrive, do get in contact with me: https://www.julianrobertsconsulting.com/
