While the scenario would look very different if it were created today, the sentiment is still the same. The actions of a toxic manager flow beyond the workplace. https://rcrleadership.com/blog/embrace-the-suck-a-necessary-mindset-for-growth-and-success monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615859914966-I17WAFB2PO2R42B0R2OX/Cody+art.png Blog - Embrace the Suck: a necessary mindset for growth and success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615859785999-3NUEIHOJD4MCAJ1YZW8S/Cody+Rockstar.png Blog - Embrace the Suck: a necessary mindset for growth and success. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615859855436-IMDF810XUTO9Y6F844YE/Cody+Guitar.jpg Blog - Embrace the Suck: a necessary mindset for growth and success. - (Look at that handsome devil, unironically still wearing a puka shell necklace in 2005) https://rcrleadership.com/blog/trust-the-unseen-glue-that-holds-our-world-together-and-how-to-build-it monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615859302778-E2U5QQOMS5XJGDK8QM8W/Trust+Triangle.png Blog - Trust: the unseen glue that holds our world together (and how to build it). These three components need to work in harmony. When just one component suffers, trust is eroded. So if we are experiencing the need to build trust with anyone in our lives, this model can help us identify which component we need to increase. Do we need to be more authentic and human with our teams? Do we need to demonstrate or communicate more effectively to others that we really do know what we’re doing? Do we need to show more empathy to our customers and help them feel that we are in this for them and not just for ourselves? Or maybe it’s a combination of all of the above. By identifying these trust gaps then taking the steps to work on those specific components, we’ll see greater unity and productivity on our teams. Additionally, and more importantly, we’ll see more rich and fulfilling relationships in every aspect of our lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615859237338-2NNG0T4B5EBPAA3L9Q8P/Yezzys.png Blog - Trust: the unseen glue that holds our world together (and how to build it). - We have to trust that those small, colored pieces of paper with #’s on it actually means something, or that #’s in our bank account have real value to both us and others We have to trust that when we place an order online and the package shows up, the item inside is actually the item we ordered https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615859188557-NG3M7JGT62PRL4F9BTUD/Trust+Header.png Blog - Trust: the unseen glue that holds our world together (and how to build it). https://rcrleadership.com/blog/blog-post-one-f3lw5 monthly 0.5 2021-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615858620666-J0N0XHVDAXCNDEDOHMBH/Utah.jpg Blog - The power of turning your team into your community - One interesting element is that the particular situation that I found myself in at that moment was a far cry from the mountain-ranged, blue sky, crystal-clear water-filled environment of my upbringing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615858489526-5J9QY0E6ECXJRMKP0PC5/Taiping.png Blog - The power of turning your team into your community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/1615858671996-N3P8W3UIVBLX48UOMOMR/Taiping+2.png Blog - The power of turning your team into your community - This was a particularly poor area with little physical beauty, yet I felt a part of it.

Just as the best athletes and teams in the sports world have a great coach, so do those in the corporate world. But corporate coaching is very misunderstood. The International Coaching Federation, the gold standard of coaching, defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” Coaching is a forward and results focused process that helps clients discover the unique answers within them. A corporate coach will guide you through the process of both thoughtfully exploring your challenges as well as discovering the answers to those challenges that are already inside you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/cb17a68b-a685-4b5f-b77b-b171316014f1/unsplash-image-K0c8ko3e6AA.jpg Coaching - Coaching is not… Therapy. Training. Consulting. Your coach telling you what to do. Coaching is not exploring the past and examining why things happened. Nor is it finding the root cause of problems. Unlike coaches in the sports world, executive and corporate coaches do not tell you what to do, how to think, or how to approach problems. They guide you through the process of discovering those answers for yourself. https://rcrleadership.com/individuals daily 0.75 2022-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/49a4c807-d0d0-4268-aeed-02dece6a25a5/pexels-anna-shvets-4226261.jpg Individuals - Executive and Leadership Coaching These one on one sessions are designed for leaders at every level in the organization.

These coaching sessions can be tied to a broader leadership development program, or simply targeted sessions to help them overcome specific challenges. Sessions are conducted via video conference or over the phone and are scheduled around the leader’s availability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/10611080-8afa-46a1-8a53-9cde9c5509d7/pexels-ivan-samkov-5676668.jpg Organizations - Team Workshops The greatest potential for us as individuals to do our best work lies in a team. Targeted workshops can help bring out the best in any team. And we’re not talking about trust falls or ropes courses. Rather, based on my years of experience and research, I look at the 6 most important elements of that lead to high performing teams: Trust and psychological safety Commitment to each other Constructive collaboration and innovation Productive communication Efficient processes and systems Motivating vision and meaningful purpose From these we determine where your team could use the most help, then we create a custom workshop just for you. Workshops can include pre and post engagement elements, and can also be paired with coaching. Additionally, solutions include in-person, virtual and blended options. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603dad2dff5db27cbd405762/55e9027f-2c10-42da-b2a4-abcec122b76b/pexels-fauxels-3182749.jpg Organizations - Custom Leadership Development Programs Many teams require more than coaching, or more than a one-off retreat. They require a programmatic and sustained effort to truly elevate their performance. Here’s where I bring my years of experience in instructional design and delivery to create a custom program just for the needs of your team. I love working with leaders to think of new ways of connecting with their teams. New ways to excite and engage them. If you already have the start of a great idea, or are looking for some thought starters, let’s chat. I’d love to learn more about your team, their needs, and then the sky’s the limit as far as finding solutions to meet those needs.
