Welcome to the August 2022 Executive Leadership News

With so much unease and uncertainty around us right now, many are adrift which is also creating wonderful opportunities for growth. To follow new dreams and careers or to reflect on who we are. Others are starting to truly see their self-worth and are gaining confidence to assert themselves in a positive and authentic way. We want to celebrate all this growth and offer some tools and inspiration to continue to take this forward.

Self-Worth, Money, Mindfulness & Negotiation

With so much movement in the job market now, it is a great time to become familiar with salary package negotiation techniques and to do some reflection on the value you bring. Whether you are looking to stay and re-negotiate your employment contract or embark on a new career with another employer, investing in yourself, your career and salary negotiation skills is important. To get started read the ‘7 Steps to Successful Salary & Contract Negotiation’ 7 Steps to Successful Salary & Contract (Re-) Negotiation – Kelly Magowan

For additional insights into negotiation, I highly recommend the article by Negotiator, Nicole Davidson, ‘Is honesty essential in a negotiation?’ Is honesty essential in a negotiation? (nicoledavidsonnegotiation.com.au)

For those in Consulting or looking to set up or reboot a side hustle, I highly recommend reading the book ‘Money & Mindfulness’ by Lisa Messenger.

The stories we tell ourselves about what we are worthy or unworthy of — from the small luxuries of naps and watermelon to the grandest luxury of a passionate creative calling or a large and possible love — are the stories that shape our lives. This is a beautiful and inspiring piece by Maria Popova. To read visit The Truelove: Poet and Philosopher David Whyte on Reaching Beyond Our Limiting Beliefs About What We Deserve – The Marginalian

Mastering Conflict & Communication Under Stress – Team Workshop

Through this workshop you are investing in your managers and leaders to lead with confidence and clear communication at all levels of the organization. Managers and leaders value building their self-awareness and communication skills, yet often need ongoing support to do this effectively and consistently. In the workshop, we focus on leveraging both their communication strengths and understanding when their communication styles may create a negative and stressful impact on those around them. We go deeper into who they are and how they typically communicate both at their best and when under stress. We look at how others may experience them when they are under stress and strategies for identifying and shifting this behaviour.
