That's why we're offering our new live-streamed workshop. Discover the proven 3 step method to give honest feedback, develop your people and lift performance.

Can you see your best people burning out? Are you are afraid that they will either burn out completely or leave?

As a manager, you want to do right by your team and support them during intense work periods so they don’t get burned out. But this can be a challenge when you’re feeling overly stressed yourself.

How can you take care of yourself to have the time and energy to support your team? What steps do you need to take to reduce your stress level? And what actions can you take to improve your team members’ well-being?

The truth is that the risk of burnout is higher than it's ever been before. As we head back into offices and Covid restrictions lift, most leaders find that they are already going full pace but feel the pressure to say "yes" to even more.

That's why we're offering a live-streamed workshop with practical techniques to help you look after your high performers and yourself, turn ‘too much’ into ‘the right challenge’ and feel in control again.

In this live-streamed microlearning workshop, you’ll discover:
- How to look after your best people so that they don’t burn out
- How to look after yourself too!
- Negotiate an intelligent and realistic plan for hybrid work
- How to set boundaries and stick to them without appearing less committed
- Determine your ‘gold threads’ to help avoid burnout
- Adapt the ‘voice in your head’ so that it works for you, not against you
- Get practical tools you can implement straight away
- Have the chance to have your specific questions answered by Diana

Don't leave it to chance. Left unchecked, burnout will wreak havoc on your health, happiness, relationships and job performance. Find out how to catch burnout and combat it early.

A month ago we lost our wonderful Dad and Grandad. We were very close so it has been an incredibly sad time, made even sadder and more difficult because the COVID restrictions meant that we couldn’t get back to NZ to be with Dad and Mum, neither when Dad was in the hospital nor for his funeral.

Fortunately, technology enabled us to send a video tribute and to watch via live stream – not what we would have liked but much better than just receiving the order of service as you did a few years ago.

We learn much from our parents and I was lucky enough to have a Dad who taught me much, both with his words but more so with his actions. Here are 3 lessons I learnt from Dad.

How can you be positive as a leader in this current time of uncertainty, and ongoing lockdowns without being fake?

This was the question I was asked by one of my favourite clients, after a virtual classroom I’d run on how to lead through the COVID-19 crisis.

In a coaching call, Lara was keen to talk about the notion of being positive, without being fake. She was really keen that her team would see her as being a positive leader, yet an authentic one at the same time.

In this 3-minute video, I’ll give you my two top tips to ensure you come across as genuine and authentic without ever feeling forced or fake. Click the link in the comments section below to watch.

Which of these do you find most useful? Let me know in the comments.

How do you build resilience?

Resilience is the ability to bounce back or even better, to bounce forward, in the face of obstacles and challenges.

The last 18 months have highlighted for us the need to build resilience. Without it, we ‘crumple’ becoming more anxious, less productive and more stressed. We procrastinate and become short or abrupt with people.

With resilience we develop a forward-focused, determined mindset that enables us to find the strength to carry on, to lift our performance with grit rather than complaint.

And this strength to ‘get up and go again’ has a positive impact not only on our own productivity and emotional well being but also on the productivity and well being of those around us.

When you stay close to positive, productive people you become more positive and productive yourself.

So how exactly do you build resilience in yourself?

Recent research by the internationally recognised strength expert, Marcus Buckingham, showed there are three vital ways to build your resilience:

1. Focus on what you can control

In a crisis, you can't control the environment, and outcomes are much more difficult to predict. However, you can control the habits or rituals that you build into both the personal and professional aspects of your life. Doing so gives a sense of control and a structure in which to take action.

2. Compartmentalise

Think of your role as a series of ‘swimming lanes’. If this swimming lane has a crisis or current concern can you continue to make a contribution to other swimming lanes? Focus on those lanes where you can make a contribution because contribution leads to a boost in energy and invigoration.

3. Gold threads

Gold threads are the parts of your work that you love. It turns out that if you spend just 20% of your day on work that you love your resilience increases significantly.

Give your resilience a boost today by asking yourself the following questions:

- What parts of your work do you love, what are your gold threads?
- Which ‘swimming lanes’ can you contribute to right now?
- What are the rituals or habits you have that set you up for success?

I'd love to know which of these you found most useful?

Who is the leader you wish you had?

They might be a leader in business, sport, a family member or a friend. What 3-4 stand out characteristics does this person portray?

And how will you build these characteristics in YOURSELF? What specific attitudes and behaviours will you need to demonstrate to prove that you possess them?

This challenge applies whether you have a formal leadership position or not - we ALL impact other people, so the question is how can you have the BEST IMPACT?

I have certainly seen high potential staff and managers leave because they didn’t have the leaders they wished they had. Your self-reflection here could be well worth it. Be the leader people never want to leave.
