Love a good analogy!

When a team leader I am working with and I conjured up a Beatles analogy for his team, I could see an immediate shift in energy and enthusiasm. The Beatles gave the leader the words to clearly articulate his vision and explain how collaboration and use of strengths would improve the team's collective outcomes. This team would struggle with dry complicated concepts and models (which most are).

Everything I do is bespoke and I draw from an extensive tool kit and my own creativity to bring things to life – the Beatles are a good example.

If you or your team would like to inject fun and creativity into your development, please get in touch.

Thanks ICF!

I have passed on the baton after 3-years of service as an ICF Australasia Director, and prior to that 5-years on the New Zealand lead team.

Some statistics:

* Hours in zoom meetings = 300 (estimate)

* Annual accounts and audit processes completed = 3

* Renumeration = $0

* Peers connect with and friends made = 100's

* Fun had = lot's

And it all started over a wine with Alyson Keller (PCC, ICF) and Annalise Roache. Thank you for the experience gained and the great people I have met. It has been amazing. Keep in touch!

If you are an ICF I encourage you to volunteer. If you can't commit to an ongoing lead team role, there are plenty of exciting projects to contribute to too.

Good for the soul

Spending a few days filling my soul with family, friends, the familiar and fresh air in the area I grew up. Feel centred, recharged, fortunate and ready to carry on – with a few tweaks 🙂.

Without regular breaks we run the risk of battling on and focusing on the same priorities, even if our environment has shifted. Time out not only recharges the batteries it provides an opportunity to step back and appreciate what's important.

If you or your team would benefit from some soul time, please get in touch or see www.growtobe.co.nz.
