Be a Care-Full Leader

Leadership is caring

· Care for yourself first

· So you can care for “your people”

· And then care for the purpose of and for the organization/group

· With care-full character

What that means, in specific, is that you first need to care for yourself because if you don’t you might just burn out and not be able to care for anything anymore. Take good care of your body mind and spirit so you can, as a friend once said to me, “help the other person put on their oxygen mask.” Maybe you know the analogy: in an airplane the fight attendant says we should put on our oxygen masks first before helping other. This means we are connected to what we need to continue to care for others.

How to get important things done, not just the urgent ones

Time management is key to getting the important things done.

We need to find ways to CARVE out time for the important things and for reflection and Rest for 2022.

Look at your calendar and make that “cut” and CARVE out the time.

Then when you are in your reflection day (or at least half-day per month), decide what is really important and CARVE out time for that one or two items for the next month.

Then reflect again at another pre-planned date. And keep those times holy.

Dealing with Busy-ness, two suggestions

The How of productivity without overwhelm:

How do I keep from feeling overwhelmed, even if the activities are mostly great?

I use a couple of coaching tools on myself. One is the Eisenhower Matrix and one is writing everything down with visualization - on the family calendar, on my electronic calendar, writing it in my to-do journal…

Start-ups, Entrepreneurs and Joy

What gives you joy?

Start-up and Entrepreneurial coaching gives me joy. Working with C-level leaders that bring jobs and help the local economy gives me much joy. I love to help the leaders and their companies succeed.

Past - Present and What's to Come: Happy 2022!

My wish for you is that you have MORE of what really counts in this season!

What’s happened for me and Jehle Coaching:

I have been working on my member care and debriefing skills for the past year as well as keeping up my coaching and supervision skills (including conflict resolution and team and group dynamics) with mostly online but also in-person courses.

Year-End Reflection - for change

As we move towards 2022, I am doing some reflection. It helps to bring about change.

I’m reflecting on my situation and accepting for it is, and then doing what I can about it.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas from Jehle Coaching! With a time of personal reflection for you at the end.

2021 has been full and a profitable year for me and for Jehle Coaching.

I hope your year has also been profitable, as well.

Be part of the Solution and help heal the problems

We all know the saying: Hurt people HURT people.

But do you know that Healed people HEAL people?

I was told this second phrase last week in a training evening, and I believe it to be true- healed people heal people.

What I am reading – and you? Let's learn and grow!

What are you reading?

What are you learning?

I have a friend who regularly greets her friends with the question, “What are you reading?”

This is one of my favorite questions because it assumes that the person is a learner and a reader.

I think we should be both. So, the second question that goes with the first is “What are you learning?”

That really leads to pre-questions:

· Why are you reading these books?

· What books are next in line?

· What are your goals?

· What books and articles are you reading that lead you to your goals?

Tis the season - of change and growth for the good

Use your strengths to work on your weaknesses

When you know your strengths, go in the opposite direction for growth. That means gently pushing towards your weaknesses, using your strengths as your basis, as your foundation.

For example, if you are big on doing things right all the time, allow yourself some slack but also keep doing (most things) right. OR- if you want to grow in your relationships and you are good at listening, try sharing and being more vulnerable for growth, at the same time, still asking good questions and practicing active listening.

Do you have two or more careers? Do you want to have this? Read on!

A slash is someone who has more than one career and usually at the same time, and who perhaps has made a second career out of a hobby or passion.

A slash can transition you from one stage in life to another or it can accompany your other career through most of your life.

What a great time we had - NETWORKING!

Networking can get you referrals.

Your best referrals will mostly come from people you know and I basically work from referrals. (former clients and present onew, remember to refer me, please)

To find more people who will refer you, will have to grow your network.

A web presence is nice, but, that’s where your referrals go to “check you out” after your name has come up. A website is not usually used by clients and customers to” find” you. They get referred, instead.

Thus, you need these ten tips for good networking practice.

Happiness is possible, it really is

How is happiness attained?

1. In a job well-done (and if at all possible, within the time and financial constraints)

2. In (finally) reaching a goal

But also in:

· Healthy activity for mind, body and soul (and all the underlying goals to be reached)

· Good (safe, fun, reliable) relationships where I can be myself and share myself

· Doing good to others, especially “strangers” (no kidding!)

· Being grateful for the past, savoring the present and looking to the future with hope

· Being happy about your job and what that job contributes to “the greater good”

Do what you can - and follow these steps

Ury’s 6-Step Model:

1. Put yourself in your own shoes

2. Develop your inner BATNA

3. Reframe your picture of the situation

4. Stay in the Zone

5. Respect them, even if…

6. Give and Receive

Fall Cleaning Ideas (for success)

How are you getting ready for the fall?

Are your emails paired down and ready for responses? Do you code/color-code them for “triage” and potential clients?

What about your to-do list(s)? Do you keep your old lists to make sure you haven’t out something under the pile of papers for too long?

What is your calendar like?

September Reflection Questions

this gives us all a chance to think of how to make our working environment more positive, in general. Maybe I can be a friend so someone (unfortunately my work “best friend” recently retired, and now I would like to find someone, which isn’t always easy, as it is chemistry, etc.)- so, I wish you a god time reflecting and moving forward at work.

Finally, maybe you are still under lockdown or afraid that it will happen again at any time, if this is the case, what on the list can best help you deal with that uncertainty. Learning to deal with the uncertainty in life is the best we can do at this time.

MY list of to do's - what's yours?

Downsizing at the beginning of the fall/school year is a god thing (I will be doing this later, but for us here in the Argovian countryside, school began this morning).

Sometimes it’s time to downsize and also to look in new directions in our life. Maybe it’s time to make a list or two to remember what’s really important.

What do you value? Make a list!

Our values are important and following them is one of the keys to success (and even happiness).

When our actions (and words) come into alignment with our core values, life is generally good, and we feel content, confident and satisfied. But when our behaviors don’t match up with our values, we soon begin to experience a sense of uneasiness and discomfort in our soul (mind and emotions). We are not living out of authenticity. We are not full of integrity. We need to know our whys, as Simon Sinek says so well.

Making a deliberate and conscious attempt to identify which of our core values are of greatest importance to us, is crucial if we are to keep your anxiety levels low and our sense of self-awareness high.

Good communication is askill and art to be learnedthrough practice, knowledge and sometimes, through coaching.
