There's a common interest from many of my coaches in commercial businesses as to how they can effectively use Agile to improve just that within their organisations.

My eyes landed on an article written by Amy Edmondson professor of leadership and management at Harvard Business School entitled Agility Hacks.

It resonates in the way these short-term solutions (agility hacks) can tackle immediate challenges.

Take Sony whose risk-averse bureaucracy had led to decline in innovation when new CEO Kaz Hirai took over. He quickly assembled a team that could access resources and technology reporting directly to him bypassing the blocks they had previously faced.

These agility hacks offer short-term solutions that can pave the way for longer-term systemic changes that can respond more quickly to opportunities yet don't derail the stability of the company.

Why is it that so many young girls and women do not see themselves in Science?

Jean Fan (winner of the 2019 Inspiring Science Award) talks about the challenges facing women in a science career. Her experience of working with high school students demonstrated how many of them dismissed the idea of becoming scientists themselves.

Have you considered coaching to unlock potential not just in women leaders but in our female talent in schools, where individual and group discussions could tackle some of these myths? Please add your comments to the discussion.

Are you embracing multitasking in 2022? 👩‍💻

Something I've always been good at twirling hoops on my feet whilst juggling countless other tasks of a vastly different nature. We are told of the numerous reasons multitasking is bad and ineffective reducing the quality of work and causing stress in the process.

Well, today I read some interesting research that demonstrates the value through the creation of additional energy that dissipates slowly so it spills over into subsequent activities. It enhances cognitive flexibility which happens to be a key condition of creativity.

All those years I worked in the creative industry working to tight immovable deadlines with hundreds of different ads visuals and copy stretched my ability to cover many equally demanding activities at the same time.

So for those of us who have hidden our multitasking abilities under a stone can now proudly embrace this talent with the knowledge that a focus on deep work is also required at times.

Hooray to that! 🎉

Flexibility is key to retaining habits 🔑

As a personal trainer and business coach I'm often asked how I you stick to a fitness or training programme.

I've been considering this with the start of 2022 when often new resolutions are formed and quickly fall by the wayside. I'm lucky as I love the feeling exercise gives me post workout and I can hold that in my mind supporting me when things get tough. I'm a big believer in setting up a schedule and sticking to it not in terms of rigid times but prioritising it over other tasks.

Deciding to stop work in order to work out isn't easy there is never enough time in the day to complete all my work but I know the benefits not just on my body but my mind. Clarity of thought better focus and energy after taking exercise is a real benefit

Research from Google has shown that employees that committed to an exercise regime BUT had flexibility as to when they did this were more likely to sustain change. In a dynamic fast-paced environment flexibility is key to retaining habits as failing to keep to an allotted appointment causes a knock on effect failure loop. Failure repeatedly causes demotivation and less incentive to sustain habits.

“When should I work with an Executive Coach or bring one into my organisation?”

There are many reason to work with a coach, here are just 3:

🔹 When you feel lonely at the top

Senior leadership can be lonely. We partner with you to act as an objective and independent sounding board and provide you the challenge and support that may not be available from within the organisation.

🔹 When you want to develop key talent in the organisation

Coaches aren’t there to “fix” a problem or an underperforming leader. Coaching is a way to reward, retain and develop key talent to build the all important leadership succession pipeline.

🔹 Supportive development program

Executive Coaching can be used as part of a broader leadership development program. Coaching helps leaders to excel within daily work and on specific projects. Coaching helps leaders reflect on what they have learned and apply it on a daily basis.

“Coaching is a partnership of equals whose aim is to achieve speedy increased and sustainable effectiveness through focused learning in every aspect of the client’s life. Coaching raises self-awareness and identifies choices. Working to the client’s agenda, the coach and client have the sole aim of closing the gaps between potential and performance”

Here is what you can expect when working with FIT:

👉 The agenda: the usual coaching process is that the client sets the overall agenda (i.e. you!) at the beginning of the process.

👉Confidentiality: is an ethic highly valued in the coaching profession. What you discuss is not repeated to anyone, unless you ask me to or you discuss something which gives rise to a legal or ethical obligation on me to disclose it.

👉Session preparation is important ensuring that the process remains outcomes focused. Please can you think about the key focus areas/desired outcomes for the session?

👉Commitment – for the coaching process to be effective and useful preparation time and energy are essential elements of the executive’s commitment. For my part, I undertake to be on time, at the coaching location, prepared for the session, and focused on supporting you in achieving your goals.

👉Coaching effectiveness review – clients are offered an evaluation of the effectiveness of coaching to complete at the end of coaching.

Benchmarking and measuring is so important when it comes to coaching of any kind.

We gather data through 360 feedback and also through observing the leader in action. This provides us with valuable information about the impact that our coaching sessions have on the development and performance of the leader.

It allows us to see how much you’ve developed as a leader and how much closer you are to the goals set out before coaching sessions start.
