Some leaders mistakenly believe that new policy translates into new behaviour. Wrong. Policies provide goalposts for awareness and accountability yes, but only environments change behaviour. Case in point on a sensitive current topic: Police. Several years back I sat next to a young fellow (i used to be one of those!) on an airplane who was graduating in forensic studies and was looking forward to joining the force in his Saskatchewan hometown. He was coming back from the US ...where he did a shadowing session for 4 weeks in a US city so I asked him if he noticed any major differences. He said that while both sides have their strengths and weaknesses (we can learn from each other) ... he talked about noticing that there wasn't the same if any focus on getting into the schools to meet kids at a young age and he felt that was important. He said he saw in cities that did that it allowed people in high stress situations to view each other differently and that it changed outcomes. Bad behaviour whether racism or otherwise is almost always sparked by fear & ignorance. Create an environment where people have a chance to get "know" each other and you almost don't need policy to fix the bad behaviors you are addressing in your company, better ones just naturally flow out.

Have you ever tried to help someone believe in themselves? My experience is that encouragement alone, while powerful, is not enough. They need an environment where they both see something different (success & a different future) and experience it themselves as they are challenged by leaders with a plan of regular baby steps to get there. The last two letters of the word Believe: VE are the key. 1. Visualize something different 2. Experience it yourself. This can be your sweet irony: The end of the word BELIEVE is the beginning of great things for you and those around you. Try it. #leadershipworkshops #buildingcapacity #believe #achieveyourgoals

My thing is this: The performance gains that most companies seek may not require additional knowledge. They are best unleashed by leaders who build environments that consistently bring out of their people more of the things they already know. I train leaders on the blueprint for building THAT environment. There will always be situations in life where you don't know it all. Don't let uncertainty paralyze you. Do what you know and that action will unleash the opportunity to discover what you didn't know in a meaningful & actionable way. #buildingcapacity #leadershipworkshops #youcandothis Steven Furtick

Leaders: Communicate with purpose. Building perservance in ourselves may seem like an individual exercise but in reality is best done in community. You'll create a wave of momentum when build regular intentional communication opportunities for your team around 3 truths: 1) Who they are (their authenticity as a person) 2) Their purpose (your expectations of them and why it matters) 3) Their community (the people and tools they have to help them when they struggle). #buildingcapacity #leadershipworkshops #youcandothis #perserverance

Its never too late! It = a behaviour you don't like/want from a colleague, team member, friend or spouse! #buildingcapacity #commonsense #leadershiptraining

I normally don't like the word can't. When you tell me what I can't have, I likely want it more. When you tell me what I can't do it focuses me on the negative and not the positive, not a great way to motivate and engage long term. In any relationship when we are constantly focus on can't we become a drag and likely aren't getting the results we want. Its time to change.. check out this quick video on the role of a leader in any relationship. Have a great day. David

The environment created by the Covid 19 pandemic is one of extreme levels of isolation. As a leader during this time being present is as or more important than being perfect. Watch this 2 minute clip on Communicating in a Crisis.

In uncertain times, fear wants to blind us to what is possible. It can quickly create a false belief in us that there is nothing we can do. Corporate and Personal Leadership lets us balance manage the balance of fear & wisdom in managing uncertain times. Here's how. #buildingcapacity #leadershiptraining http://www.authorenticity.com//leadership-training-handli/

If you are struggling in your role of leading people. This article could be a game changer for you!

If you are like me there are certain environments that naturally and predictably bring out different things in me. Ones that spark creativity. Ones that spark energy. Ones that spark focus. Ones that spark stress/anxiety. Environments create flows of behaviour. If you are a supervisor/manager/leader one key to success is not to Stress Out about 'making' people do stuff for results. The better plan is to create an environment in which when they Hang Out , certain behaviours will just begin to be drawn out of them. If you want the blueprint to build this environment.. come and hang out with me and other leaders in Las Vegas Nevada March 31 & April 1 2020 for a 2 day leadership mentoring event.
