To teach leaders how to communicate. We need to first learn how to learn, which means we need to; learn how to unlearn, so we can learn how to relearn.

Unconditional Positive Regard is to accept and value a person, to respect and care for a person in a positive light, no matter what. Even when they are flawed, even when they might think, feel and behave in ways that we or others might not like.

If you are a communication or PR professional, you know just how important it is to have a strong and positive relationships with you stakeholders. Building our coaching skills can help us to move from tactical to strategic, advisor to partner and do it with confidence. 

We follow the advice to …“Keep it simple, stupid.” But often life and people are not simple. The fear of complexity is actually the fear of uncertainty, which often triggers a need for control. We can open and switch our mindsets to find more calm in complexity. Reframe the challenges to bring us out of our panic zone and into our stretch zone because that is where we will grow and learn, innovate and overcome our challenges.

How the masks we wear at work to protect and shield us from harm, now could be preventing us from making meaningful human connections.

Leadership visibility is incredibly important, however, leading is less about the decisions you make behind closed doors and much more about how you are able to involve, inspire and ignite action from the people who play a role in your business success. Leader isn’t a leader if she has no followers.Human Leadership is about how others feel about themselves when they are with you. Do they feel MORE inspire and energised, MORE capable and confident, MORE a part of something meaningful?

The task of engaging often comes down to the job of the leader or manager. Many times the leader has a long list of duties that include- connecting with and keeping the team engaged. This involves nurturing a relationship and communicating in a clear, concise and empathetic way. A human way.

These three years have offered something new, hard lessons, fulfilling and elating experiences but mostly relationships that are rich, meaningful and full of joy! For all that I am thankful and I would like to share more about what more Humanly is developing into next, more people , more potential and more impact.

Leaders are being challenged to be more authentic. But what does authenticity mean and how can you find and nurture it?

Human leadership creates the space for inclusive cultures. Inclusive cultures; require human leadership where we think with curiosity, feel with compassion and act with courage.

Innovation can only thrive when people thrive.
Somewhere in the depths of getting work done, hitting performance targets and stretch targets, becoming more efficient, working smarter… we find it difficult to really be a human leader. There is another way … A more human way to lead

The session is the essence of some of the best work I have done with leaders and teams, it has helped them to pause and think about how they lead and communicate and I hope it helps you too. The session is designed for leaders, communication professionals and coaches who are all seeking the inner human.

I believe that the ability to hold up the mirror to those we support is essential but also one of those skills that requires you to have full confidence in the follow through. You need to hold up that mirror with full confidence and conviction.

If we wish for peace and prosperity, can we continue to seek profit at the expense of people and the planet? How can organisations bring these ambitions into reality? To tackle the sustainability goals, no individual or organisation can do it alone, we need partnership and mass behaviour change, that requires a certain type of leadership.
