Since the start of the year our focus on Saturday's has been on different teamwork skills. This weekend I wanted to take us back to an audio post I did a while ago as part of the Teams365 Team Leader Breakfast series on the Six Factors which are essential for teams to thrive.

Click on over to our Team Leader Breakfast Series page and check out this October 2014 post.

As you listen, how are you as a team doing in terms of these six factors? What could use some attention?

Enjoy your long weekend,
Jennifer

#Teams365 #799: March Webinar - Coaching Skills for Leaders

3/9/2016

0 Comments

 
Here ar Potentials Realized part of our mandate is to provide valuable resources which team leaders can use in their work. As such, over the last three years I've experimented with a variety of complimentary educational monthly series. In fall 2014 I launched the Team Leader Breakfast Cafe series, a20-30 minute call held in the morning. You can listen into some of those calls here.  Late last year I started experimenting iwth offering a monthly blab for team leaders. Your feedback indicated that it was a little more difficult to participate in, due to firewall issues and availability, so this month we returned back to a webinar format, AND I think you'll like it.

I'd like to invite you to view our March Webinar on Coaching Skills for Leaders, and area I spend a lot of my time and attention around. Listen into what core skills leaders can benefit from, as well as benefits from integrating a coaching approach. I also go into essential steps in the coaching process, based on my writing in my book, From One to Many: Best Practices for Team and Group Coaching (Jossey-Bass, 2013).


What are your next steps around coaching in your work?

Have a great Wednesday,
Jennifer

#Teams365 #400: Celebrating 400 and February Team Leader Breakfast Cafe

2/4/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today we celebrate another milestone here at the Teams365 blog - our 400th post! What started out as just an idea 13 months ago, has emerged into a deep resource for team leaders and team members. I hope that you have enjoyed the journey so far!

This morning was our monthly Team Leader Breakfast Cafe call. You can listen to it here. In addition to taking a look back at where we've been with our monthly Breakfast Cafe calls, I also spoke about the importance of styles, and understanding our styles as leaders and in the team context. Understanding our natural inclinations, especially when under stress such as time pressure, competing demands, or uncertainty, can be extremely useful. Knowing our own styles, and that of our co-workers, can help to identify potential frictions before they arise, allowing us to be proactive and make adjustments.

As I mentioned in the call, I offer the Everything DiSC for clients which can be rolled out to individuals, or as part of a team development process. If you are interested in learning more, please let me know.

Questions flowing out of today's call include:
  • With consistent focus and effort, what's possible for you?
  • What is your natural style? How does it help you? What's the flip side of it, or how does it create a blind spot for you?

In the call I've also invited you to participate in a short exercise to get you thinking about how you see your style and how others see you. Please feel free to share your insights here.

A reminder that our March Team Leader Breakfast Cafe call will be held on Wednesday March 4th. It will be held a little earlier in the morning as I will be working that day with a team of leaders. Please mark it in your calendar!

Have a great Wednesday,
Jennifer

#Teams365 #372: January 2015 Team Leader Breakfast Cafe Call on Goals

1/7/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
A few hours ago I hosted the January 2015 Team Leader Breakfast Cafe call on Goals for the new year. I cover five main areas you will want to keep in mind as you are setting and executing your team and leadership goals for this year. You can listen to the 20 minute call here:
This was the first of our monthly Team Leadership Breakfast Cafe calls which are typically held on the first Wednesday of each month. The sixth in the series, you can listen back to my past monthly calls which covered topics including Team Culture, Strengths, High Impact Meetings and High Performing Teams at it's dedicated page over at my CoachingTeamLeaders.com site.

One resource you may want to download is the One Page Plan Framework from my Inner Biz Leader Virtual Business Planning Retreat. You can download the one page plan document here and use it to house visibly your top 5 goals for the year (or month or quarter).

If you are looking for more resources and support in this area I hope that you will consider the Inner Biz Leader Virtual Business Planning Retreat a program you can take at your own pace, which will support you in exploring your vision and plan for this year, along with some of your core leadership foundations. Udemy, the site I host it on, has it on a dramatically reduced price of $10 as a new year's special for a few days. You can take it at any pace you'd like and can access it here.

Enjoy this month's team leader breakfast cafe and hope you will join me in early Feb for the next one! You can listen back to the first six in the series here.

Have a great Wednesday!

TEams365 #313: November Team Leader Breakfast Cafe - Year End Retreats and Meetings

11/9/2014

0 Comments

 
The first Wednesday of every month I host a short call for team leaders called the Team Leader Breakfast Cafe. It is a short 15-20 minute call which focuses in on key topics in support of your work as a team leader. In August I looked at Team Culture, September Strengths, and last month at the Six Factors for High Performing Teams. You can access the calls here.
as we move into the month of November, one of the key activities facing team leaders is organizing that year end meeting, luncheon or retreat. This month's breakfast cafe gets you to consider what the purpose is for your year end process, and also explores key elements you will want to include. I also share two quick activities you may want to consider incorporating for your retreat process.

Retreat facilitation is part of our focus and support for team leaders. We would be pleased to partner with you to design a customized program for your team, department or organization. We can also design certain components which you can facilitate yourself. Contact me to discuss your needs for your next team building or retreat process. 

As you consider your team's needs for year end meetings, what is a priority? What do you want them to take out of the experience?

Have a great start to your week,
Jennifer
