Why Self-Awareness is the #1 Key to Training Success & Talent Development

Self-Awareness is the number one component for better learning, talent development, leadership acceptance, just to name a few. Without self-awareness people will not accept feedback. Without self-awareness people will not handle rejection openly and honestly. Without self-awareness people cannot be the ultimate teammates they have an opportunity to be. During this episode we're going to teach various strategies of how to build yourself awareness and where a lack of self-awareness actually comes from. If you're intrigued please check out our information on the Self-Awareness 5 a six month program in helping individuals explore and discover their true self-awareness.

Get Off Feedback Island

This episode teach is a unique concept called feedback island. It's a fundamental mistake most people make by simply providing feedback nothing more. Feedback alone can sting and if anything, be taken out of context certainly unfairly at times to the people providing the feedback; nevertheless, the key to providing feedback is to position the person receiving the feedback to take positive action based on the feedback.

It All Starts With Self-Awareness & Self-Regulation

Everything we do in terms of our ability to improve and receive coaching or mentoring or training starts with self-awareness. It's one's ability to truly look at themselves in the mirror and be honest with oneself. Second, everybody needs to improve self regulation their ability to not impulsively disrupt or interrupt and to truly stay in the moment and avoid imparting judgment on others. Think about every interaction we have with people whether it would be providing feedback or disappointing them when they did not get a promotion do people react calmly or emotionally? I think many people listen emotionally and when they hear something they don't like and I think we are all guilty of this we tend to react emotionally not logically or rationally.

The 2 Conversations Leaders Must Have in 2023

This episode details the two conversations every leader must have in 2023. The data out in the workplace clearly shows that the economy is going to be going through some major changes that are going to affect organizations. Companies such as Salesforce and Twitter are laying off people and the market in my estimation is going to be moving from a employee market or they have unlimited choices to a much tighter market. With that being said it provides organizations a wonderful opportunity to tighten the relationships and engagement inside their own walls by having conversations centered around two specific areas: motivation and career development. * Ask About Our Coaching PODS Community: https://form.jotform.com/213492627230149 If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Every Company Needs A Hero

Every 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  If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Challenging Times Create Opportunities

 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.  If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

What Type of Employee Are You?

 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)  If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Quiet Quitting: Some of it is Bullshit!

The 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/ If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Year One ... Coaching and Feedback Embedded into On-Boarding Increases Talent Retention

Corporate 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.

Coach to the Person and NOT the Situation

 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 being delivered as constructive feedback. Coaching is a very initiative-taking, thoughtful, strength-based, and question-based approach that drives positive change and the good things that our people do as well as those areas where they have opportunities to improve. If we are reacting to a situation, we will typically react to things that we see that are wrong and need to be corrected; therefore, the employee will be triggered typically to become defensive and be in a mode of, I hope I'm not in trouble and not really thoughtfully engage in the process to truly improving.  If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Quiet Quitting Has Been Around For Decades

Quiet 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--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This should include things that will not be tolerated such as gossiping at the water cooler, not putting in a good, full day's effort, learning to praise others, tec.  Let me share something with you that is gonna come off a little bit negative.

We talk about the people that we hire, and I cannot believe I'm going to share this publicly for every five people we've hired we have found at least three, if not four lie on their abilities, the work they completed, etc. We once had an employee who was so critical of my company that I found out 30 days later, she had not done one ounce of work as a salesperson, never sent an If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Open the "Self-Awareness" Door for Maximum Talent Development

I have said for almost 30 years that coaching is a two step process. First, you want people to look in the mirror. #2, you want people to take action on #1 yet very few people do number one arbitrarily on their own. That's why we need to coach our people to first establish a foundation of self-awareness which will lead to accelerated talent development. Self-awareness is difficult for people. Self-awareness causes people to look in the mirror and look at themselves. Let me save you the suspense you will have many employees who don't even own mirrors. The power of coaching and the specific use of questions will help open up that door to each and every one of your employees.

How to Have Coaching "Career Conversations" To Retain Talent from Leaving

 Career conversations are now a must more than any other time in our history. When we think about McKinsey's latest research showing 41% of people are actually leaving due to a lack of career development and advancement. Coaching career conversations is about coaching and developing talent for the present and future. We need to find out what people want to do, what motivates them, what they like, what they potentially dislike. We need to have these conversations proactively not reactively.We all know that we're busy and we have many things to do, yet often what comes at the expense of this is our conversations with our people. Think about a company with a 100 managers, all having proactive conversations, asking their employees what they like and dislike and helping them with their career development. Let's just assume they don't have great conversations, but they have the conversations nonetheless. This would still lead to greater talent development and retention versus doing nothing. Having coaching career conversations is about asking people what motivates them, finding their motivation, and helping them get to an ideal destination of their liking, not just simply what the boss or the organization wants or expects. Get The Rest of the Article Here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-ready-coaching-career-conversations-tim-hagen/?Get Info On Our Course: How to Have Career Coaching Conversations Successfully: click here Training Magazine World-Wide Leader in Training and Learning EducationDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Take The Emotional Baggage Out

 This post will also not be very popular but I'm OK with that. As an entrepreneur we embody a lot of different positions in terms of the work that we do. It is not for the faint of heart and it is certainly not meant for a certain group of people yet let me just say at times it is very very hard. I also think working in the corporate workplace and managing teams is also very very hard. As we talk about mental health and all of the challenges associated with employees today and those are very really issues, I think we also have to talk about our honest relationship with emotional baggage.Emotional baggage is when somebody brings their issues from home into the workplace and thrust them upon your shoulders whether with intention or not essentially stating you need to deal with this. It's funny because I've experienced this myself and I can also tell you when I talk to other people they have as well. When people bring in their personal issues into the workplace often looking for people to commiserate with, they are polluting the workplace. With that being said yes, we should be empathetic and find out what people are going through to see if we can help them. If they are not willing to help themselves let me make a bold statement: take the baggage and leave it curbside and move on.I share this story with great diplomacy and I can give you a story from almost every single company we've worked with similar to this. I had an employee years ago who complained about their job vigorously within the first 30 days. The following comment was made to me with a raised voice” you never have time for me”. What was funny about this comment was I had actually spent the first two weeks of this employee’s tenure every morning from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM training them. Yet, within 30 days in their minds, I had never given them a minute of my time.

Coaching People Full of Crap (said that nicely)

What I'm about to share is not going to be very popular. What I'm about to share is not going to be well received by everybody. The other day, I was talking to somebody that works at a manufacturing plant, and this person was a friend of a friend and the friend had asked me to speak to him and talk to him about his performance. I said, sure, but I said, I don't know the guy so I want to be very clear that I, I'm not going to challenge him as normally as I would. We sat down and we started to talk, and I asked how things were going and he immediately went on complaining about management. He had been at the company about six months now, again, this is not everybody, yet I want to provide a solution at the end. It’s called the co-authored conflict. I taught my guys when I coached volleyball how to do this, I teach this, for people when they do team development. When you co-author conflict, meaning how do we have conversations of conflict when it arises? As the conversation ensued, I started to take notes and I said, would you mind if I took some notes? He said, sure. And I asked him how things were going. I was up to nine things he was frustrated with. And I said, so is there anything else you'd like to add? He said, no. I said, okay. I said, would you mind if I state back to you what I heard? What I heard you say, non-emotionally, just factually are the following. I read back the nine items. He goes, yeah, I think you have it for the most part.  And I said, well, I'm going to state back something to you. I said, I asked you how things were going. You listed nine things that frustrated you, which you just confirmed. And he had this expression of, oh crap. I said, no. I said, I, I get, I get it. You don't know me. I said, we're just talking. And you've been here six months. I asked you how things were going. You didn't list one positive thing. So, I have two questions for you. Why are you here? And what have you done in the last 12 months to better yourself, professionally and personally? What have you done on your own to invest in you? So again, what have you done on your own to invest in you? And he couldn't answer that question. And I said, so you've been here for six months. You listed nine things. Why are you still here? And he said, well, you know, I, I, I don't know. I, you know, I was looking at a job and you know, I, a friend of mine suggested I work here. I said, so how do you think you've represented your friend who opened the door for you to get this job who asked me to speak with you? He said, well, probably not well. Well. I said, okay, well, this has been a great conversation. He was just shocked. He said, well, you didn't give me your opinion. And I said, yeah, I, I didn't want to give it to you. I didn't know if you're the type of person I'd want to give an opinion to. He said, why would you say that? I said, because I asked you how things were going you listed nine negative things. You've been here six months. You can't answer anything, anything in terms of what you've done in the last 12 months for yourself. So, I'm not so sure you're the best candidate to receive feedback. Again, he has this look of fear and uncomfortableness come over him. He said, no, I'd really be interested. I said, great. I said, could we do something? He said, sure. I said, when I give you my feedback, I don't want your response. He said, excuse me. I said, I just want you to digest it. I'll get back together with you. I'll spend time with you, If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Coaching Employees to Become Influential Leaders

One of the most valuable things we can do as leaders is to position people within our own teams to be what I call influential or internal leaders. Now, just for our own definition, internal leaders or influential leaders are those people who don't have the title yet can help you lead the team. Now, let me give you a really fundamental example. Years ago, I was working with a number of branch managers at one of our client sites at a credit union. And one of the managers said, geez, I've got 10 people. I really don't have time to coach all of them. I am scheduling time with them, but I know that I'm really fractured in terms of my time. And I said, well, do you have some people on your team that you really trust that are well respected by others that could really invest in your team as well?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Quick Interruption: Wanna Hear About Our 2023 Progress Coaching Summit? Get More info Here: https://form.jotform.com/221653310306039---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And she said, yeah, I've got two people. They're senior. They're great. They're upbeat. They don't really wanna move up in the organization. They don't want people management responsibility and I said, well, what about using them as influential coaches? She said, what do you mean? I said, well, influential coaching sometimes is more accepted than from somebody's boss because it's from a peer. It's someone who's in the trenches. It's somebody who's trusted. She said, yeah, I, I think that's great. And I said, okay, well, let's come up with a couple ideas. I said, what do you want your people to do? More of? She said, we have to ask more questions. We have to upsell and cross sell. It is a core function of what we do, cuz the more we upsell and cross sell, the more we, you know, bring business into not only the credit union, but the more we're allowed to service our, uh, customers. And I said, okay and what is the resistance? And she said, rejection people don't like to do it. I mean, you're talking to people about, you know, money and it's personal and you're kind of out in the open, it's uncomfortable. And it is. And I really love that she depicted it. So what we did is we worked with two leaders and we said, look, no constructive feedback for 90 days. None! Just when you see it, don't be overzealous. Don't overdo it. Don't be theatrical. Just acknowledge. Just acknowledge what somebody does really well when you witness it. When a member walks away, go up to someone and say, Tom, wow, you really ask some great questions. You really sounded confident. And I loved how you really listened to the member. Now we call these nudges. Yes a little corny and cliche. Those are nudges. So when you go up to somebody and say, wow, you ask great open ended questions. What are we really saying? Keep asking open ended questions. And then when we say you demonstrated active listening, really, really well. What are we really saying? Keep demonstrating active listening. And then when we have someone who might be lacking a little bit of confidence and you say, wow, Tom, you looked and you sounded more confident. What are we saying? Continue to be a little bit more confident.  Results? Sales went up over 30 % and the team progressed and the Branch Manage If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

That Poor Little Leaguer (Parent Feedback is Hard to Listen To)

I went to go get some food for my wife and I at a very popular place where a lot of baseball teams go after they play. What I witnessed at the counter was a father giving his son some feedback on the game that was just played. As I sat a couple seats away, I quietly listened, not letting them know I was listening. The father began to tell his son he could not make the mistakes he was making during the game. He was mentioning things like striking out or dropping fly balls, which are really physical errors, not mental errors. As I sat there and I listened uncomfortably, I realized not once did this dad tell his son, I'm proud of you or you're doing a great job. You're gonna get so much better. Trust your coaches. What I did hear was him depict inning by inning, the mistakes his son made. As I watched his son who just stared ahead and never made eye contact with his dad. As they sat parallel from each other at a counter, the kid was never smiling, never really seeming to enjoy the conversation. When the waitress came up and gave them their food to go and they got up to leave immediately. The son had a smile on his face. I think the smile came from the fact that the conversation was now over. What's going to happen to this kid if he continues to get feedback like that and he enters the workplace. What if his boss gives him really good feedback that's accurate, albeit constructive, will he listen? Or will he shut down much like what he was doing or at least appearing to do with his father?

Turn Your Leadership Training Upside Down!

What if we turned our leadership development program upside down? What if we looked at developing our organizational leadership skills and capacity from the bottom up, not from the top down? Let me explain. In the United States alone, we spend hundreds of millions of dollars every single year on top line management, middle management, down to frontline leadership to become better leaders. There is nothing wrong with that. Here's the challenge. We have a major percentage of our people that are typically individual contributors or employees. Typically there's about a ratio of one to seven, maybe one to 10 leader to a number of employees that a leader would be managing. Now, with that being said, here is the funny thing, every organization we've gone through and worked with, and every leader that we've talked to bring up the same things that they go through when they're trying to lead their employees.This does not mean they do a flawless job of leading their employees. What it means is there's an opportunity to look at this differently. Let me explain. Every company will say, well, have you ever worked in this industry? You know, our industry is really different. Every single industry, every single company from across industries bring up the same things: Feedback, attitude, motivation, teamwork, etc. Here's the funny thing. Think about high school. Think about college. You entered this thing called the workforce, the workplace after high school or college, maybe eight to 10 years later, or if you're right out of high school, four years, and you are thrust into this submissive position for lack of better description. You're now in front of someone called a boss as corny and as theatrical as this sounds. Think about that.Wanna Learn About How to Develop an Upside Down Leadership Approach: click here If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Conversations Affect The Workplace

First of all, realize one thing conversations are powerful! What we say and how we say it has a major impact whether fair or unfair.Let's look at how conversations can negatively affect the workplaceThe water cooler - gossip central.Come into to my office - uh oh what did I do wrong?So-and-so told me… - ahhh not going to the source always create issues.The emotional interpretation - people react emotionally versus rationally asking themselves what ca I learn when getting feedback.The Maniac response - my boss ALWAYS attacks me or they never give me a chance. Now let's look at how conversations can positively affect the workplaceFrom water cooler to coffee break - lets just chat and learn about one another to deepen our connection.Come into my office - you are doing a (specific) great job! Now the positive stuff can spread.So-and-so told me so I want to learn from you ... - connections learning from one another can spread connections and knowledge.The written communication - send a card praising and that message will last a long time.The self-actualized question - "what will you do successfully ... fill in the blank" and watch them react positively as the questions helps frame out their response and reaction.Also please Register for Our First Edition of Our NEW Publication The Talent Times: https://form.jotform.com/220913443091045 If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Coaching Conversations Do Not Need to be Difficult With A Little Planning & Preparation

Conversations are hard. The cool thing about what's happening in the training and development and talent world is that leaders and organizations are finally realizing coaching is not just something we'd like to do if we had time. It is now moved into an arena of, We Must Coach Our Employees. This requires leaders to have conversational ability, the ability to ask questions, to truly listen, to actively listen, and to cooperate in a process where somebody feels like somebody is invested in them. Now, this sounds easy on the surface yet it requires practice. Think about sales people, a longstanding profession for decades. Sales people have been taught how to ask open-ended questions. Yet, if you ask a customer, what's the one thing they dislike about sales people? They typically say they talk too much. Think about that decades of training and a whole industry, still battles what leaders now have to gravitate from. Coaching is asking questions of what people can or cannot do. Ultimately. leaders facilitate participating in scheduled sessions where skill and behavioral improvement is sought. This is not easy as conversations need to be open ended with active listening and not thinking about what we want to say while somebody is talking. This is much more difficult than people think. It's okay not to be a great conversationalist. It's not okay to not practice and work on this craft.Checkout Our New Digital Publication The Talent Times : Click here to get on the waiting list: https://form.jotform.com/220913443091045 If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Why Bartenders Make Great Coaches

Recently, I was conducting a workshop and one of my participants was an ex-bartender. She never hesitated to participate or offer her thoughts or converse with people or dare I say, role play. She's quick on her feet and really listens well during the workshop. I asked her where those skill sets came from. She said, I bartended for 15 years. As I thought about her response, I thought what a wonderful experience to be able to wait on people, not knowing what they're gonna say, not knowing what they're gonna do, not knowing what their behaviors are, not knowing if they have a jaded attitude or a positive mentality. You have to be on your feet ready to go or you know, you won't make tips. The same skillset is needed in leadership today. Having conversations fluently and thoughtfully, navigating waters of conflict and negative attitudes and coaching people who wanna be promoted, but yet are not ready, and coaching those people who are performing really well so they don't get complacent. All of these require foundational conversational skills. How does one go about developing such skills, practice, practice, practice! Bartenders, and wait staff, a special breed of people working their butts off, always on the spot, always on the stage, always having to be on, always having to have the ability to converse and create a great experience so they can earn money. These are the same attributes leaders have an opportunity to possess through practice and repetition.Get on Our mailing List for Our NEW Digital Publication: The Talent Times: https://form.jotform.com/220913443091045 If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Teach Employees To Receive Feedback on Their Terms

You often hear the concept that feedback is a gift, and it truly is yet we cannot use that approach as some reactive way to facilitate a positive relationship with feedback when so often it is perceived as negative. A positive cadence of feedback structured by the recipient is the secret sauce. There is such a simple concept called WIIFT, what is in it for them.Recently I was teaching this concept to a bunch of individual contributors at a client of ours. I said think about feedback as something that you need to structure and receive before somebody needs to provide you feedback. After making this statement people looked at me very puzzled. I said think about your childhood when you knew you were going to get in trouble, but you went and told your parents before they could even get angry about it. After this comment people started to nod. I said how many of you know what your strengths are and have those been validated by your manager? Everybody in the room started to shake their head. I then asked how many of you know areas where your manager feels you need to improve through some feedback you have received? All the people started to nod. Therein lies the problem.

We Have It Wrong! The Missing Piece in Leadership Development

I 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 development If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

The Workplace Triangle

The 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.

The Goal of Feedback Is ...

There 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 Here If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Coaching Helps Fight Fatigue

Many leaders continue to struggle with the thought of having coaching or even conversations virtually. The challenge is we must change our mindset their coaching is not something that is geographic quite frankly coaching virtually at times can have tremendous advantages. Virtual work is NOT the cause of fatigue, rather how we handle working virtually is our opportunity to fight fatigue.I was speaking with one of our clients that we directly coach, and she was sharing how much she hears the word fatigue and words speaking to a lack of motivation. As we were talking, she had shared her company was in a hybrid world and we both started to do some interesting math together. We started to add up the time savings associated with being in a hybrid world and here is what we produced:Three days a week typically equals about four hours of no driving time.We estimated a savings of about 2.5 hours a week of just bumping into people and having idle social conversation. I know this is valuable but just bear with me as we go through this.We estimated about one hour a week savings time associated by not being able to have impromptu meetingsIn total we estimated about six hours a week or 24 hours monthly of actual time savings associated with their hybrid world.We both embarked on a mission to ascertain if people even understood that this was occurring as well as if they did understand what they were doing to reinvest those time savings. The fatigue can certainly come from a variety of sources such as the following:Not interacting with teammates or connecting in person.People not reinvesting that time and staying in the moment thinking and feeling that fatigue as weird as that sounds people must realize if tired, they must do the opposite regarding an action that will energize them, and the same principle applies to fatigue.People have become very short-term thinkers specific to themselves such as how they are feeling or the impact of this new world and how it has affected them. Working in your home certainly has its advantages but you can also mentally feel like you never get away so then the opportunity to alter this is to get away.Here are five suggestions leaders can implement even in a virtual world to energize and fight the effects of fatigue:Start and end every meeting with a motivational video that has powerful music and a message that inspires and motivates.Illustrate current elements of change in the organization and how it is created success further fueling people's minds that change is a good thing.At the start of meetings ask people to share successes.During meetings ask people to share positive observations of teammates that were helpful and went above the call of duty. [people talking about one another positively seems small yet it creates multiple momentum streams.As crazy as this going to sound use the concept of motion creates emotion and get people moving during your meetings such as dancing or clapping or taking a 10-minute break and everybody takes a brisk walk.Now I know the cynics out there will look at some of these suggestions and say they are corny or weird or they would not be comfortable and that is OK my question remains the same what you are going to do as a successful leader to help people fight the effects of fatigue?

Magnetic Coaching: Part One

Magnetic Coaching: Part One When you think about the effects of a magnet, it really has two effects. It either pulls things in or it repels them or pushes them away. Aren't people the same way? Think about a person that you met, that you were introduced to by a friend. Didn't you have an immediate impression of like, or dislike of that person? Now let us add some further context with a little bit of humor. Would it not be funny if somebody said, “so what did you think of my friend, Bob? And you actually said “I'm neutral. I really had no opinion when I talked to him? It sounds funny, doesn't it?  So, when we think about leadership and coaching, two things happen, we either pull people in or we push them away. Some common ways that we push people away is by calling them into our office as leaders and always giving them constructive feedback. It demotivates, it creates a lack of inspiration. It breaks down the very fiber of the team. On the other hand, if a leader were to call somebody into the office on a regular basis, praising them for a specific job well done would not that bring somebody into the fold, into the team environment, positively and cooperatively. Of course, it would. Magnetic coaching is about bringing people in and leveraging the good things that they do yet as well as making them aware of the opportunities where they can raise their game. We get so fixated on providing feedback and how to deliver constructive feedback. Our suggestion would be do not even use the words constructive feedback, use language such as raise your game or opportunities to support your strength, the opportunity to address some things that might personally frustrate you. Language is important and it invites people in versus pushes them away. Everything that we do with our language, either pushes people away or pulls people in. Here is another example, Bob, you are doing a great job, but the one thing that frustrates me is your personal time management. You are all over the place. On the other hand, if a leader said, “Bob, here are the three areas I love to collaborate with you. You have great product knowledge, you work well with others, and you really know the company's procedures. And I think about adding time management to your list of strengths, hearing that, what goes through your mind and what could we do to together to facilitate that? Hopefully, you see how language can pull people into your leadership and into your team environment. Magnetic Coaching is not a myth or concept our actions everyday push or pull people away!Subscribe to Our LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/coaching-conversations-6886642999321862144/ If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

The Game of Coaching: Part Two

The game of coaching has changed. For so many years our major objection when collaborating with clients was organizations and their leaders saying they do not have time to coach. Here's The funny thing about that notion is coaching has really gravitated from it would be nice to do to now, we must do it. The caveat is that the game has changed. Let us take a basketball game. If a team is down by twenty points and they are playing a zone defense a good coach would adjust and then go to a man-to-man defense. The players on the court who are playing the zone now must play man to man defense meaning they are going to have to be in really good physical shape as it's a much more difficult defense to play physically. The court is the same, yet now the court looks differently because the players are doing different things on the court. Coaches are today's leaders. The players are employees and individual contributors. The playing field really is equal to the organizational culture, and it is being conducted in person or virtually or a hybrid model. All these changes and circumstances require adjustments and navigation by the coach, the leader. The players need guidance and support now more than ever from whom? The coach, the leader. The field changes sometimes it feels daily from this virtual field to the hybrid field to the in-person field asking both the leader, the coach and the employee, the player, to adjust and do things differently in a brief period of time.

Coaching is a Game ... The Playing Field & Players Have Changed! Have You?

When we think about sports and we think about playing fields and players and leaders of teams couple things come to mind. If a coach were to go into a huddle during a game and look up at the scoreboard and say everybody we are down by 20 points but let's just keep doing the same thing what would the players think? Would they even wanna continue to play? Would they maybe even wanna switch teams? So think about the pandemic and how much our playing field has changed. We now have different playing fields of working from home or the office or both. Our customer playing fields have changed where we now interact virtually. The players on the field now want different things such as workplace flexibility. A leader cannot play a game and have curveballs and scores changing without reacting two such things. We have to navigate and adjust our coaching to provide employees what they need on the new playing field.Subscribe To Our LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/coaching-conversations-6886642999321862144/ If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

WOW ... Today's Employee Has Changed ... How Leadership Coaching Can Help

Today's employee has dramatically changed and we as leadership coaches must change with those changes. People are quitting without having their next job as well as people are quitting jobs for more money not thinking about long term decisions that are affected by such decisions. The pandemic has caused people to look at themselves and their careers dramatically differently. I would say a few years ago if we had a friend who was quitting a job without their next job in place, we would say they were crazy, yet today it seems to be accepted because of this concept of the great resignation and people feeling the way they feel. During this podcast we are going to teach some different conversation coaching strategies that you can apply to today's most common challenges associated with employees and how they are feeling with the current work world. By the way if you are intrigued by our content check out or get more information about Coaching Pods where we work with leadership coaches creatively in a group setting as well as one on one every single month.

There Is NO Buy-In To Coaching !!! That Notion is Crap!

I still hear from leaders this notion of buy in when it comes to coaching. Let me be very straightforward and candid- that's a load of BS! Let's look at this logically. If a manager does not have time to coach how the heck do they create more time when they need to interview and review resumes when someone leaves their organization? Coaching is a form of communication and leaders will typically communicate with their employees daily if not hourly so why not leverage something powerfully such as strength-based coaching that inspires and motivates versus hiding behind the proverbial I don't have time 'cause I'm really busy type of leadership  which leads to what? Greater retention? Ha I doubt it.

What A Winter Blizzard Taught Me About People

Yesterday I drove in the middle of the winter Blizzard coming back from up north Wisconsin. Needless to say the weather was terrible and there were white out conditions and if you have never driven in such weather it can be extremely dangerous. One of the most interesting things that I noticed was a long single line behind me and in front of me. The left lane was open but not plowed so I thought it was very interesting that everybody conformed to the single line. I thought to myself the only reason people could be doing this was for safety reasons. We all agreed to conform without really talking to each other, yet today when we get into conversations of politics or the use of the vaccination and if we have heaven forbid have different views we really don't talk and listen to each other. Yet, during a winter blizzard hundreds if not thousands of cars with people never speaking to one another conformed for the safety of one another. What an interesting thought!

There Are Two Things Leaders Need to Do TODAY to Retain Talent

The greatest thing we can do today as leaders is to invest in your employees and to understand them potentially more deeply than we ever have. When we understand what motivates a person and we actually invest in that motivation talent retention and development will skyrocket. We can no longer have these ridiculous discussions about not having time to coach our employees because if we're not coaching and conversing and people leave we're ultimately using time to interview replacement candidates. That cannot be a logical solution. The great resignation I literally thought was going to be a fad or some movement that people were making up to sell their own products and services when in fact it's real. So many statistics are coming out right now depicting almost one out of every two employees are looking for new jobs due to anxiety or stress or flexible workplace conditions. What makes leaving an organization tough is having a leader who understands a person's motivation and it's fully invested in that person's motivation. Nothing will replace a leader who coaches and converses for the betterment of his or her people then a leader who coaches. If you're intrigued please check out our Coaching PODs information: click here----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Have you heard about our Talent Coaching Learning Series? This December, Progress Coaching will be hosting our first official summit: The Talent Coaching Learning Series, and we're bringing together 15 different speakers from across the country to share their industry expertise to help you build a positive workplace culture where people can THRIVE!Click here to learn more: https://www.salesprogress.com/talent-coaching-2022 If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Leaders Need Conversational Navigation

This episode teaches a very simple concept called conversational navigation. It requires leaders and even non leaders to enter conversations willing to explore versus steering someone to get to a place that they may want that person to get to. Think about the most simplistic example a person with a negative attitude. Our destination is we want this person to be more upbeat and positive and we want them to get there quickly yet we have to ask ourselves some fundamental questions as a coach: why is this person possessing a negative attitude? What causes it? What are they willing to do to turn it around?

Conversational Discord is an Organizational Disease

Let me introduce you to a new concept called Conversational Discord. Conversational Discord is when people have an argument or a misunderstanding that leads to greater difficulty within an organization. There are four stages to Conversational Discord: 1.       Misinterpretation- misinterpretation is when somebody is either not listening or emotionally reacting which leads to a lack of understanding or misinterpretation of the message or the person.2.       Labeling - Labeling is when the experience lends itself to a depiction that is factually untrue or unfounded.3.       Unprofessional Sharing- When stages one and two are achieved often people will share their opinions of the experience as well as their misinterpretation by labeling and sharing with other people who are not involved in the conversation.4.       Spin and Share- People who receive the unprofessional sharing will often put their own spin on what happened and continue the sharing process.Here is a brief example of how Conversational Discord works. Recently I was in a meeting with a person who started to ramble during a staff meeting. She kept repeating herself and you could see other people and the virtual meeting becoming less and less patient. After the meeting I received a phone call from one of the participants who immediately told me she was frustrated and then preceded to use her misinterpretation that lead to labeling. The person said “all she cares about is what comes out of her mouth and she doesn't care what comes out of anybody else’s mouth and she just wants to hear herself talk”. I think we've all heard people make statements like this yet is that factually what really occurred? About an hour after this person called me another person called me sharing the same thing and also shared that they had had a conversation with the person who had just called me. The unprofessional sharing was well underway. The person who was rambling in the meeting two days later had an incident with a coworker who was not in the meeting who said “I heard you had a tough meeting the other day and people were really angry that you tried to take over the meeting”. That is not even close to what factually occurred. I told the director of the department I would talk to her and see what was causing this. After several good coaching questions I quickly found out this person struggles with insecurity as it relates to her ability to communicate a clear and concise message. She literally shared with me from her past work people became extremely frustrated with her because she often came off ambiguous and nebulous which is the reason that she tends to over communicate. After talking to her for 15 to 20 minutes after finding this out I quickly realized not only does she care about other people and their views she wants to hear their other views. So, within two days someone outside the meeting had literally shared with her directly they had the impression that she took over a meeting and dominated which prompted people in the meeting to be angry. The people in the meeting were not angry they were frustrated and to be candid were frustra Training Magazine World-Wide Leader in Training and Learning EducationDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The LACK Feedback System Will Empower Your People

The key to this feedback system is to manifest everything in the discussion around the role of altering perception even though we are probably helping people to deal with their own reality. The LACK feedback system is about positioning people to seek feedback of where they have opportunities to improve the perception they give off as teammates or whatever the subject matter is that you would like them to address. We use LACK as a tool as most people LACK the ability or knowledge of how to have such conversations which leads to areas where they LACK self awareness,. Here is how it works: 1.       First ask them to seek feedback from peers in upper-level management of where they have an opportunity to improve as a teammate that will alter perception they may be giving off. Notice the language of opportunity to improve and perception - these words create a greater willingness for people to produce such an activity which can be extremely uncomfortable. a.       Once this has been done three or four times this is where the lack system of feedback goes to work and here is how that can be facilitated: Once the feedback has been attained ask the following questions: b.       Learn: what did you learn? c.       Actions: What action will you take based on what you learned? d.       Career: How will the learning and actions help you with your current and potential future career? e.       Knowledge: What did you learn about yourself that you are committed to improving going forward positively? Progress Coaching has been helping organizations leverage the power of coaching for over 25 years by positioning managers to become conversational leaders.

3 Questions That Build Self-Awareness & Action

The number one objective of any coaching initiative should be first to build awareness. Most people, it's been estimated up to 90% of people, lacks self-awareness. Assuming this percentage is correct why would anyone in their right mind think for a second just telling someone what to do is going to be well received. The key to building self-awareness is to provide people questions that trigger different perspectives so they can successfully and thoughtfully look at themselves.

The MISSING Ingredient in Workplace Cultures Today

One of the main ingredients in the workplace that needs to be cultivated is our ability to accept coaching and feedback professionally and thoughtfully. Most people have never been taught how to seek and or accept feedback; therefore, a typical reaction in the workplace to feedback is whether people agree or disagree with the feedback. This leads to dangerous interactions in the workplace when in fact the role of accepting feedback isn't to agree or disagree, rather it's too take away what can be learned.The episode teaches three core strategies of questioning techniques that can enable people to go into a learning mode immediately versus  an agree or disagree mode after receiving feedback and coaching.If you would like to learn about our coachability assessment feel free to contact me: Tim@ProgressCoachingLeader.com Progress Coaching has been helping organizations leverage the power of coaching for over 25 years by positioning managers to become conversational leaders.

Attention Leaders! Help Your Employees Claim Their FAME

I recently heard in a group discussion that people must communicate with one another and employees must share upward to their direct leaders their feelings and frustrations. Somebody made the comment it's all about culture and I actually somewhat disagree with that. Conversations create cultures and we have to fuel employees minds positively as well as position leaders to learn how to coach and help their employees feel good about getting better. This episode reveals the methodology of how organizations can build an employee movement program that helps them accept feedback professionally and thoughtfully, how they can develop their own positive attitude and motivation, and how to truly be an engaged employee consistently.If intrigued reach out to me and I'd love to share with you what we're doing with employee coaching programs to accomplish just this: Tim@ProgressCoachingLeaders.com.Progress Coaching has been helping organizations leverage the power of coaching for over 25 years by positioning managers to become conversational leaders.

Workplace Cultures Require Proactive "Positive" Coaching

Often, organizations drive improvement in their workplace cultures reactively. Organizations will create programs or initiatives that react to marketplace conditions such as industries that are in decline or maybe even in reaction to a pandemic crisis. At the core of every organization should be leaders across the board proactively providing positivity to each and every one of their team members. Here are some basic suggestions on how every leader can do this: Call people into the office whether in person or virtual and only provide positive and specific feedback. Send a handwritten card home detailing why an employee is showing great promise in specifically doing great work. All people into your office whether the person or virtual and have your boss there and be prepared to only praise that employee. The techniques are so simple yet at their core are proactive and positive and will insulate every workplace culture from  inevitable change and industry challenges.Progress Coaching has been helping organizations leverage the power of coaching for over 25 years by positioning managers to become conversational leaders.

This episode takes a very unique look at the talent development field. The objective of this podcast is to provide insight as to what organizations can do to develop communities of people that are accepting of feedback and coaching. Organizations spend millions of dollars in leadership training; whereas, the missing piece might be training and coaching employees from a foundational perspective. What if employees were taught how to develop a positive and professional relationship with feedback? What if employees minds were fueled to build and maintain a positive daily attitude? What if employees were taught how to self motivate them to seek career development paths in their own? What if employees were taught their role and responsibility of being professionally engaged employees?

Why Leadership Conversations Matter Now More Than Ever

Leaders must possess the ability to navigate conversations now more than ever. We need people to perform yet at the same time we need people to know we care and that we truly are invested in their well-being. This is easier said than done. Organizations and leaders need to invest in their conversational skill development. Think about an employee who is not performing well and maybe eight other employees who are performing well and you need to address that one employee. This seems on the surface very easy yet the eight employees might have a reaction in terms of how you interact with that one employee who is perceived to be underperforming. Conversations matter!Think if you're a sales leader in your team just came out of 2020 doing okay yet a large number of employees have not hit their numbers. You need to sit down with them and have a conversation about increasing their numbers for 2021. Easier said than done. We often share with sales leaders you do not coach to numbers you coach people who produce numbers and this requires the ability to find out where people struggle and how to help them feel comfortable sharing such things you can have targeted information you can pursue to raise sales numbers as a partner with them. Conversations matter!You have an employee who is struggling who has three kids at home. The employee historically has been a great employee, yet they seem to lack motivation and you know it the foundation of that motivation struggle is the fact they have had to navigate homeschooling with three kids while working. The challenge is now you need this employee to raise their game and produce now more than ever while knowing they are fatigued and stressed.

In 2021 .. It's Time To Work Our Ass Off!

I know this episode is going to potentially upset some people. The goal of this is to draw attention to an area I don't think we talk enough about and that is putting in a good day's work and really working hard. While the world has turned sideways I am all for addressing mental health and showing empathy and providing people an avenue for work life balance . I don't think those things should be provided at the expense of employees understanding our current situation and working their butts off to not just protect themselves but the organization they work for. I would love your thoughts on this thanks Tim Progress Coaching has been helping organizations leverage the power of coaching for over 25 years by positioning managers to become conversational leaders.

Allego is Changing The Sales Enablement World

This interview with Tim Kasida Strategic Partnership Executive at Allego. Tim has over 25 years of experience growing businesses through sales, alliance management and sales leadership positions at early stage and established software companies. Tim performed critical sales functions through IPOs at Exchange Applications and Unica Corporation.  At Allego Tim runs a team focused on sales to and through Sales Training & Sales Optimization Services companies.  Tim graduated from Northeastern University, in Business with a technology/engineering focus.During this interview we discussed trends in the marketplace due to the covid crisis and how video based collaboration and coaching is dramatically helping  sales and service teams. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Receive Allego's E-Book: Demystifying Sales Enablement E-Book: click here---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------About Allego:The Allego Story: How Collaboration and Technology Disrupted a MarketAllego’s mission is to ensure that people have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed at work.Yuchun Lee and Mark Magnacca—long-time entrepreneurs with successful careers in different industries—launched Allego in 2013 to transform training and how people learn at work. Together, they invented a new approach that uses mobile technology and interactive video to deliver learning, communication and collaboration at the moment of need. In the process, they redefined online training and disrupted an entire market.The two innovators had known each other for fifteen years when an “aha moment” at a training session led to their collaboration. Yuchun is a software executive who, prior to Allego, co-founded and served as CEO of marketing automation provider Unica, guiding it through a successful IPO and $500 million sale to IBM.Mark is an accomplished author, speaker, trainer and former financial advisor. Before Allego, he helped financial service companies build their businesses and improve their selling practices as founder of Insight Development Group, Inc., a leading sales and presentation training firm.The aha moment happened during a client engagement in 2012, when Mark noticed that the company had purchased iPads for its entire sales force. Part of the training required salespeople to practice their delivery and Mark thought there was a way to leverage this new mobile device.“We were flying everyone in for training. I thought, why don’t we have everyone record their presentation on their new iPad instead, upload it and share it with their managers for certification?” recalled Mark. “I didn’t know the obstacles. They had just been given a 16MB iPad and I told them to record a 30-minute presentation. I didn’t know it would burn up all the space on their device and that it would be very difficult to upload and share it.”Mark envisioned an app that would solve these storage and speed constraints. He shared his idea at a brainstorming session with fellow entrepreneurs.

My Friend Got Fired ... Welcome to Self-Awareness

This short story depicts the value of self-awareness and coaching. Recently, a friend/business associate get fired from his job. As I asked him what happened, and he went on a tirade of why it was completely unfair and how his boss was a jerk. As the conversation continued, I realized one thing like most people who have been in that predicament very few people are ever truly honest with themselves and self-aware. Most bosses hate firing people; therefore, it begs the question why would anyone want to do this intentionally to hurt somebody? The answer is simple they don't, yet people who do get terminated often go into an emotional state of unfairness and share with anyone who will listen "look what happened to me".  My approach in the podcast is fairly aggressive and hope it sincerely helps.Let me know your thoughts: Tim@ProgressCoachingLeader.comProgress Coaching has been helping organizations leverage the power of coaching for over 25 years by positioning managers to become conversational leaders.

What If We Traced Our Conversations ... Like A Virus?

Conversations take on life forms. They become events. They become living breathing things that can spread much like a virus quickly and without prejudice harming people unnecessarily. This podcast is a parallel between conversations and certainly our current pandemic crisis. I realize this is a little bit risky and I don't want to offend anybody and I think about conversations much like a virus they can spread. The key question is if we traced our conversations would we be okay or would we be at risk?

Why Getting Cut From a Team Gives Your Kid a GREAT Chance at a Career Later On

This past weekend I received a number of phone calls from parents as it was tryout weekend for boys and girls volleyball in the state of Wisconsin. I'm still amazed that some parents feel that the process or the decision that resulted in the child not making a team was somehow unfair or personal. One such parent I shared a thought with and that was "what do you think is the silver lining?" The parent said "I have no idea" in a very abrupt response. I said "I'm no longer involved in coaching or running a club so I don't have a vested interest per se but let me ask you again calmly what do you think is the silver lining and think about before you answer about the workplace and how employees maybe in your own organization do not accept change or difficult times?" The father paused, calmed down, and this ultimately led to a really productive conversation where I think he's in a better place to work with his kid to potentially get better but also change his relationship with the decision that was made. Had this father told his child which many parents do the process or the coach was unfair this will inevitably teach the kid to play the role of victim futuristically versus build the skills to overcome!                                            We need to build tomorrow's leaders today!

Teamwork & Leadership Are Learned Behaviors

Teamwork and Leadership are learned behaviors. When kids go to high school and ultimately college that's an eight year time span typically where they then enter the workforce. With that being said, how many of these kids are really taught what it's like to be in the workplace and act in alignment of being a great teammate and supportive of leadership? I'm not sure of many educational institutions doing this and that is not a criticism at all, rather an opportunity for society to help younger people realize the value of being a great teammate, supportive of leadership, and ultimately potentially becoming a great leader.Please watch for upcoming webcast Coaching To Your Corporate Values and Principles on December 2 at 12 PM central time.

What Does a Great Workplace Coach Do Daily?

What is the life of a great coach? Great coaches have a record and a set of notes focusing on each employee on their team. With that being said, they focus daily on three main things. 1)      First, they plan their positives. They look for the good things. They realize the things that people have done extremely well and they are focused on calling them into the office and praising them for a specific job well done. 2)      Second, they attend one to two coaching sessions of no greater than 15 minutes in length. This positions them to drive targeted areas of performance for every employee. 3)      Last, they bring the team together to praise and challenge. First, they lead with two to three praises of the things the team is doing extremely well and that one area where there is still an incredible opportunity to improve. These three things seem amazingly simple, but they go against the grain of what most people are conditioned to do and that's to fix and correct the things that we see are wrong. There is nothing wrong with doing those things yet, we cannot do those solely on their own merit without the positives, because it will destroy trust and the ability for the team to think positively about leadership.  The goal of a coach is to help people feel good about getting better. This is done by focusing on positives, attending one to two sessions a day and praising and challenging the team on a daily basis. This will lead to greater trust and cooperation among all team members. A great coach also uses proper language. Here are the five key words every coach should use:·         We – we is an inclusive and cooperative word·         Share – nice word that present a friendly way to disseminate feedback or insight·         Opportunity – it is the WIIFT, what is in for the person being coached.·         Perspective – neutral term that prevents emotional interpretation·         Observation – neutral term that prevents emotional interpretation Being a great coaching daily requires proactive commitment to review positives and leverage them. A great coach uses proper language. A great coach is relentlessly persistent in raising every up every minute he or she possibly can. This is not to say we should ignore things that need to be addresses, rather this commitment will build trust in people being coached to accept the tough feedback. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTE: Interested in Becoming a Great Workplace Coach?

Coaching Resilience

This episode will teach a cool mapping sequence called QALMS that will facilitate more resilient employees and people around you.From The  American Psychological Association: (https://www.apa.org/topics/resilience) What is resilience?Life may not come with a map, but everyone will experience twists and turns, from everyday challenges to traumatic events with more lasting impact, like the death of a loved one, a life-altering accident or a serious illness. Each change affects people differently, bringing a unique flood of thoughts, strong emotions and uncertainty. Yet people generally adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful situations — in part thanks to resilience.Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress — such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors. As much as resilience involves "bouncing back" from these difficult experiences, it can also involve profound personal growth.While these adverse events, much like rough river waters, are certainly painful and difficult, they don’t have to determine the outcome of your life. There are many aspects of your life you can control, modify and grow with. That’s the role of resilience. Becoming more resilient not only helps you get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers you to grow and even improve your life along the way.           Get More Info On Our Coaching to Resilience Program: click here If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Next, a person being coached needs to take action on their own self-awareness and most people do not have the wherewithal to do this on their own; therefore, this is why coaching is such a valuable tool.

How to Learn During a Crisis? Read A Book

During this crisis is become very apparent that we have become maybe too much reliant upon technology platforms for our learning. It's easier to house. It's easier to report analytics. With everyone going online there are certainly going to be fatigue; therefore, it's upon us to do some fundamental things. Here are four strategies you can utilize during the crisis that facilitate even greater accountability than traditional training and learning methods:1) Read a book - assign a book every single quarter and have people share by posting comments on tools like slacker Microsoft teams what they learned and more importantly what they successfully applied as a result of the learning. This takes knowing person time and helps avoid fatigue as well as increases accountability versus traditional training and learning methods.2)  Watch a video - what if people were provided to video every week that they had to watch and narrate what they learned and what they can use from the video in the workplace to successfully solve a problem?3) Supply an article of the week - what if an article was supplied every single week and people had to highlight the parts that they felt they learned the most and more importantly in a different color highlight the area of the article where they took that information and successfully applied it in the workplace. 4) Put employees in charge of their own learning - we teach something called a self-directed learning matrix. It's a simple concept and its awesome for onboarding and continuous learning and more importantly for learner accountability. A series of tasks from reading articles to reading books to interviewing fellow employees are put into a format where the employee has to complete them by a certain date and time. The tasks are identified and time segments and signatures are required for completion meaning the learner has to teach what they've learned from each item. This actually saves time from traditional training and learning more importantly demonstrates initiative and accountability on the part of the learner.If you want a cope of a SDL matrix send me an email with SDL Matrix on subject line at: Tim@ProgressCoachingLeader.com  If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Crisis Reveals Character: Simple 3 Step Strategy Help People Regain Themselves (13 Minute Lesson)

This three-step strategy helps leaders facilitate positive movement towards high integrity and character that often people can lose during a time of a crisis. This does not mean people lack character it's just that they lose sight of it especially during the crisis when stress and anxiety can be high. Here is that three-step process:  1)      Ask Questions- when asking questions such as the self-actualized question “What will you do positively two... fill in the blank “ - this prompts people to think and frame out the responses to be positive which ultimately assists in the process of changing their behavior and mentality. 2)     Use Reflection Strategically - Ask questions and provide time to reflect. Literally ask people questions and tell them you do not want an answer just now rather you want to give them ample time to truly think about a thoughtful and professional response. Time and reflection are absolute awesome tools to facilitate self-awareness and professional development of conversations. 3)      Use Journaling- ask people to journal positive thoughts and observations during this time of crisis which helps fuel their own mind and develop a mechanism to regain and or rebuild their character during these crises driven times. If interested Progress Coaching provides a whole line of products in Journal based coaching that are perfect during these tumultuous times - click here for more information: click here If you are looking for a way to strengthen your organization ask about our Coaching Champion Certification program where we take everyday employees and use everyday conversations to strengthen the organization's culture, Coaching Champions inspire and motivate others and professionally challenge those who struggle with positivityGet More info Here: click here

Change is Here To Stay & What to Do About It (6 Minute Lesson)

If the pandemic crisis has taught us anything it's that change is here and it's here to stay. How do we help our people change? What are the steps to facilitate change? Here's a brief overview of how to coach to the three levels of change: Effort - the first stage of change is a person's effort. If we acknowledge and reward each person's effort they will move in the direction of the second stage which is progress. If people are at the effort stage and all they hear is constructive feedback human nature is going to cause them to potentially quit or produce less effort. Progress-the second stage of change is a person's progress. This is where the coach needs to pinpoint and acknowledge specific areas of progress so people know what to continue to produce in terms of effort as well as realize where they are indeed improving. If progress is acknowledged and pinpointed people will move in the direction of the third stage results. Results-results need to be predictable and sustainable in the way this is achieved is by always acknowledging and nurturing a person's effort and progress; therefore, results become more predictable and achievable on an ongoing basis.On July 16th at 11:00 am cst we are doing a webcast workshop on coaching to the new normal.

The Coaching Starter (5 Minute Lesson) for the New Normal

Things have changed dramatically. Leaders expectations have changed. Employees motivation levels have changed. This podcast teaches a very specific methodology of how to take the expectations of the leader and the goals of the employee and combine them into a cooperative coaching relationship serving both parties interests. Again, things have changed dramatically as we talk about the new normal we also have to remember each and every employee has probably been greatly altered by recent circumstances; therefore, it's incumbent upon us as leaders to revisit each and every employees goals as well as our own expectations of those employees.On July 16 at 11 AM we will be doing a live workshop Coaching to the NEW NORMAL ("The Coaching Starter") teaching the methodology of both of these assessment tools that serve both the leader and the employee in a cooperative manner. Here's a link to register: click hereDuring this workshop we will be teaching the following:SOAR Assessment - this assessment is where the manager lists out using the acronym of SOAR employees strengths, opportunities to improve, actions needed to facilitate improvement, and responsibility they seek from their employee to communicate successes and barriers to progress.GOAL Assessment - the employee completes the goal assessment. GOAL stands for great, opportunity, actions, and love. The employee will list out what they need to be great at, the opportunities afforded to them if they become great, the actions required to improve, and what they will love about achieving their goals. We teach how to interpret these results into a cooperative coaching plan serving both parties interests in creating a maximum opportunity for both parties to work together and achieve cooperative and individual results.

The 3 D's of the Team (12 Minute Lesson)

 This podcast will teach a very insightful lesson on how to coach to these three types of people on your team and within your organization.There are three types of employees in an organization. Here's a simplistic view of those employee types:Dedicated influencers- dedicated influencers find a way and seek ways to help the team and the organization as well as their teammates on a daily basis. They go above and beyond the call of duty seeking ways to push the organization and the team forward.Doers- doers are exactly what they sound like, they do their job and often do it fairly well meeting core requirements. When around detractors they will not join them nor will they find ways to join the dedicated influencers, often succumbing to what is expected nothing more and nothing less.Detractors- detractors are people who simply find ways to pull people back. We call these people bleacher people, people who sit in the bleachers and often complain about the people in the field on how they're performing or what they're doing without ever really truly getting on the field to join them.

We Have Stopped Listening to One Another

We have clearly stop listening to one another and I think the major reason is were not talking directly to each other. We tend to talk to other people or through social media outlets. We have to go to the source and to have one major objective at the forefront of all of our minds: to have a thoughtful and considerate conversation. If our objective is emotional with a desire to convince somebody that they are wrong or why you are right this typically ends in an argument. There is so much divide right now in the world it's starting to creep into the workplace and if we stop teaching and facilitating skills that lend itself to professional and thoughtful conversations things could get worse.

The Conversation Experiment ... WOW The Result Were Telling

Recently, I attended a client meeting with a specific manager. We conducted a private experiment observing how people reacted during the meeting based on the way people were conversing in the language they were utilizing. The results were startling: The word "but" was used in the first 10 minutes 40 times People reacted adversely or perceived negatively based on what people were saying or how they set it 30 times in the first 10 minutes with 26 of those 30 times been demonstrated before someone was even done speaking. This is not a scientific experiment rather more of a observational experiment that revealed the power of conversations in the language we use.Checkout our next Training Magazine Webinar: Using Assessments to Coach on Tuesday March 17th at 11:00 am cst: register Here: https://www.trainingmagnetwork.com/events/1825?
