See What I am Working On...

UNDER CONSTRUCTION….I am always looking for ways to ensure I am living my #purposedrivenlife, so I have a few questions I have begun asking myself the following two questions: 1.) Have I done something that has made an impact on someone's life today? 2.) Have I done something that will improve or enlighten my current perspective on something? Remembering….that you have to be the change that you want to see!! It also requires you to be PRESENT in every interaction you have wit

Change is Growth

UNDER CONSTRUCTION.…To learn is to grow - and to grow is to change!! The growth-change journey is a process of learning, unlearning, and relearning new things every day. We have to be committed and deliberate about living each day with curiosity and the willingness to be growth conscious and not just goal conscious. The question I have been asking myself at the end of each week: "Have I done something that made me uncomfortable this week?" www.ImpactingSquared.com #changemana

Returning to the Office

As we are assessing and deciding what the "new norm" will look like, the decision making process is when leaders tend to be most vulnerable. This may be one of the most instrumental times for you to humble yourself starting with asking for assistance, by including diverse leaders and employees in rich dialogue, allowing them to share their ideas. Some leaders see it as a sign of weakness to not have all of the answers, I see it as a way of engaging your teams to take ownershi

What's Your Challenge to Yourself?

People generally have more control over their actions than their feelings. But we can influence our feelings by taking action. Take one small step.

Engaging Through Curiosity...

There are nearly endless opportunities to improve each day and finding them largely boils down to being curious. People who are better in the end are usually curious in the beginning. This week foster your own curiosity and understanding by starting a dialogue with a colleague (if you’re a manager, start with a direct report). Schedule some informal time with someone to learn more about these four aspects of their lives at work, each paired here with a “starter” question: The

No Excuses....

The challenge for anyone interested in making progress is to simultaneously have (1) the confidence to go after what you want and (2) the humility to accept who you are right now and (3) the willingness to build skills that bridge the gap between 1 and 2. www.impactingsquared.com #whatsyourstory #conversationfirst #purposedriven #leadership #development #emotionalintelligence #buildingtrust #leadingfromtheheart #authenticallyme #personalconnection #teachablemoments #changeena

Ask My Story...

In these unprecedented time of change and distress, we have to continue to identify ways that we can connect and/or share our personal experiences. The most fundamental way to do so is through storytelling. This level of give and take allows the leaders and employees to capture the minds and emotions of the individuals across the table from them. Stories don't just make us like each other…they make us LIKE each other. They make us similar. For leaders, it will take courage t

Strengthen Your Leadership Muscle

Since leadership is more about what we do and less about the title we hold, there is the ability to strengthen your leadership muscle. Right? For me leadership is the ability to influence, focusing on understanding and then helping others to understand. Do you know Covey's quote, "Seek first to understand and then be understood?" This is critical as we lead! We need to continue to challenge ourselves to listen for not only facts, but the emotion in the voice and facial expres

You Are What You Think...What Are You Thinking?

Ingenious leaders continue to find ways to frame and reframe situations quickly to create teachable moments. “Like maps, frames are both windows into a territory and tools for navigation” (Bolman & Deal). As you embark on organizational culture change, be reminded that culture is dynamic, created by the interactions among the different people, businesses and locations supporting the organization. Because of complexity of cultural, transforming it requires leadership to mirror

The Critical Skill of Storytelling in Culture

In our ever changing world, we are faced with identifying avenues to provide clarity and a better understanding of how everyone’s work aligns with the organizations’ cultural goals. One essential way is through narrative or #storytelling. By using this conversational approach it allows you to capture the hearts, minds, and emotions of the individuals in the organization. When choosing large scale transformation, ( i.e. #futureofwork, #DEI, and #cultural), it will require a ne

Dare to Disagree...

In this unprecedented time of change and distress in organizations, we are all faced with identifying new ways for working…in new ways of working collaboratively and new ways of connecting. Understanding we ALL have our own experiences, expectations and work ethic we have to learn to lean into the disagreements. We have to see conflict as a new way for thinking. Healthy conflict or debate allows teams to be creative - think together - and solve the problem collectively But wh

Where's Your Energy

Morten Hansen offers an alternative way to do exceptional work: Instead of asking how many tasks you can tackle given your working hours, ask how many you can ditch given what you must do to excel. At the end of the day my time should be about impact and not activity! I'm having to learn to say "not right now' to minimize activity and to focus on my intentional impact. I am learning (in my old age) to reserve my "energy" for those people and projects that are most impactful t
