Christmas is coming!

It seems every client and team I talk to right now is overwhelmed, close to burnout, tired, stressed. Maybe the weather is contributing (winter in New Zealand) maybe it's the time of year (financial year end for some) or maybe its just six months between Christmases (when most find time for a break).

If you work in the high performance zone a lot you are in danger of overwhelm and burnout. They key is oscillation. Have some rest time. If you can't rest, do some tasks that are a less taxing and you enjoy to get some balance.

If you or your team would like to work on managing performance and oscillation, please get in touch.... Or, you could wait until Christmas?

My office this week...

Native birds tweeting, ocean view, Auckland city on the horizon, excellent food and wine, and yes some rain clouds. A perfect planning retreat! I've only been here one day so far and already made changes to my business model.

Do you take enough time out from BAU (horizon one) to work on horizon's three (the future) and two (innovation to meet the future)? It's hard to carve out the time when there is so much going on - but it is critical for personal and business success.

If you would like to talk about how your or your team can balance horizons, please get in touch.

You can't force a team to fly...

As the saying goes "you can lead a horses to water but you can't make them drink". Or, as a very popular NZ band sing "I can give you some wings and advice but that ain't gonna make you fly". In team coaching, this holds very true. Despite all the good will, support and great tools in the world, sometimes the team just aren't ready. One of the core roles of a team coach is to assess team readiness. And if they aren't ready, work with them to get them to a point where they are...

If you would like to find out more about how your team can prepare to fly, please get in touch.
