Focus can be defined as the centre of activity, attraction or attention for an individual or a group. It’s the ability to stay concentrated on what you’re doing and ignore distractions. It is also the hidden ingredient in excellence. Hidden because we typically don’t notice it. This audio addresses common types of distraction to focus at work.
Workplace Coach Audio - Ambiguity is certain in these times and the ability to negotiate, manage and perform in uncertain and ambiguous environments has never before been so important. It’s perfectly normal to feel anxious or fearful when facing uncertainty but learning to ‘lean in’ to it means we can learn how to dial down our level of discomfort and accept that while we can’t control ambiguity we can manage it. Creating a leadership style that accepts things come and go constantly and ambiguity is present every day, allows us to relax with a mindset of ‘it’s simply the way things are’.
Workplace Coach Audio - We live in a professional world that moves fast and where we do not always take the time to step back. When going fast, we can often confuse our perspectives with reality and have difficulty truly understanding the point of view of others. A perspective is not right or wrong by default but they do shape how we act or react in a situation. We each have one; sometimes we share it with others, and sometimes we do not. Recognising how our perspectives might be influencing our behaviour as leaders, is the first step to noticing the options available to us that we can then choose from.
Workplace Coach Audio - We all like to believe that when we say or do something, that everyone understands what we mean and what our intentions are. But this frequently doesn’t happen. Misunderstandings happen frequently. What makes these misunderstandings even worse, is that we are often unaware that confusion has even taken place. Self-awareness is one of the skills that helps prevent misunderstandings. It teaches us to pay attention to the way we think, feel and behave. It also teaches us to pay attention to those things that trigger our habitual responses so we can manage ourselves toward choosing from a variety of responses.
Workplace Coach Audio - As you might expect, self-confidence is very important in leadership and it is also important for employees to see in leaders; an employee’s belief in the organisation and their own contributions can be boosted by seeing confidence and similar belief in the organisation’s leadership. Leadership requires confident decision-making, bold but measured risk-taking, and commitment. One of the defining characteristics of leaders is that effective leadership requires at least a minimum level of self-confidence so understanding what promotes and erodes our self-confidence is a vital life skill.
