IMPACTBANK: The Kickass Koach

  We land on conclusions largely because of assumptions we have made. These are based on a bias.   What are you assuming that makes THIS true?   Bias is also the enemy of truth.   We need to be willing to seek clarity to find truth.   We must learn NOT to believe everything we think.   In today's episode I examine how bias clouds our judgment in the context of seeking clarity of thought. We must recognize where our biases guide our conclusions if we hope to make rational decisions.   Join me on the journey for clarity, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path. I'll hold space for you while you explore for what you need to optimize and how. This is the focus of my coaching practice.

For what are you optimizing in 2023? For me it is for clarity. When we fall into the blame game we cloud our capacity to see with clarity. Our language patterns can be a means to recognize when we fall into this trap. Today the episode returns to the story of how language reveals and informs our mindset.  I argue that when language reveals a victim mindset we may be using blame to cloud clarity, unintentionally of course! Join me on the journey for clarity, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path. I'll hold space for you while you explore for what you need to optimize and how.

Optimizing for Clarity requires not only paying attention but remaining in learning mindset. In this episode I revisit SOBs and consider the importance of challenging our own conclusions and perhaps biases. As leaders we must be mindful of not simply the message we send through our words and actions, but the message that is received. The actual message is the one that is received NOT the one that is intended. THIS was a critical lesson for me as a leader. When we fail to dig deeply enough before landing on a conclusion, the unintended consequences can cause irreparable harm.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."  - Albert Einstein For WHAT are you Optimizing in 2023? NOT, what are your goals but rather what is  the means to achieving those goals. Focus on THAT and the path to the desired outcome will appear. I am optimizing for clarity. Clarity of vision and purpose to guide me through a difficult transition.  Optimizing for clarity I suggest, will help me focus differently on exercising my curiosity and imagination effectively.

What is the best design for the 21st Century workplace? Who is equipped to answer this? NOT THE OLD GUARD, I submit.  Who will take on the challenge an iterate and innovate us into a new workplace that recognizes the importance of valuing every voice in the interest of expanding engagement, collaboration and contribution? We seem to be arguing about in-office, remote or hybrid BUT the real innovation looks past this limiting thinking, if you ask me?

Systems thinking is an essential leadership skill.  Systems are all around us and we have learned to shield ourselves from individual and even collective responsibility by placing it under the column called systemic: systemic violence, systemic racism, systemic misogyny, etc.. As leaders we can do better than hiding our opportunities to grow and learn in this way. In thinking about it I landed on systemic thinking and the mastery and discipline Peter Senge and his team of researchers at MIT outline in various books and articles. When we think in systems we find ways to solve the problems created by and in systems. Isn't that our core responsibility as leaders?

Is it human error that erodes feelings of well-being or is it the way most organizations respond to human error? In light of the recent Roger's Communication outage in Canada an analyst suggested we just need to design a response since human error is inevitable. What if the culture/leadership in which the human error happens is the real culprit? Sure, build contingencies but perhaps we need to realize it is the real or even perceived feelings of unfairness in organizations that result in the biggest problems? As a leader, take a hard look at yourself and your organization and ask yourself if you are creating an atmosphere that generates more human error than is necessary. If you can clean this up you will be the rare but amazing leader. Walk with me and we'll explore how to expand your agency by building efficacy, optimism and imagination.

Why are we so willing to be prisoners of our own thinking? Our patterns, habits and modes of thinking limit us; limit our capacity to grow, create and enjoy our life. Ask yourself:  what it you could think more clearly by: 1st, recognizing signs of your limited thinking; 2nd, noticing your patterns and habits before they hijack you; and, 3rd, building a strategy to respond effectively with agency and self-awareness?

Why are airports so snarled?   What may be the lessons in the midst of this mess?   Are you and your team or organization looking for where, in your sphere of influence, you can sharpen your strengths to improve or are you falling prey to short term thinking?   Ask yourself: About what am I overly anxious? How is my fear blinding me and might a long term view help me see options more clearly? How can I own my feelings so they don't own me?   In this episode I speak to historic experiences with inflation and high interests rates and a lesson I take from it. For a paper I wrote in the 80's I interviewed a landlord who chose not to recover his losses by increases rent.

After all, men have been living on their own terms for, well, forever. I hope men, rather than trying to put women back in old boxes to control us, will see our fight for our autonomy as a reminder they can resist any unreasonable expectations too.

Expressing affection for and even respect for another, expands feelings of well-being in you and them. Again I was inspired by the drama in Canada about the Convoy that has since left Ottawa. What drew otherwise law-abiding and reasonable Canadians to engage in sending a message. What attracted others, who wouldn't participate, to quietly support. What are the lessons to leaders? I refer to fringe in this episode. I am referencing the most hateful elements of this convoy: the misogynist, white supremacist, anti-semite and homophobic elements that cloaked themselves in the pain and anxiety of others. Those openly calling for the over-through of a democratically elected government. Ask yourself: How do I express respect for and affection for my colleagues so they are able to experience me as an ally and want to trust and engage with me?
