 When the World is in Flux - How to Stay in The Race

by Barbara Fagan


H
ighly mobile and socially connected work forces means that everything is moving all at the same time. How do you manage people?  You don't, you manage relationships - whether at your workplace or in your own family.  What everyone knows is that change is occurring faster and faster and with it is the ambiguity of what will be next and how to be positioned to be successful.

At Source Point Training, we realize that people and organizations are facing many of the same challenges that they have always faced - only at a faster pace.  From the Gen-Xers to the Millenniums, each have their own world view of what it means to be connected?

 

In coaching people to take the lead in their life, at home, at work and with themselves, we realize that this is the only way that will create some sense of personal power and control. We have for several years coached and taught people the key elements of mastering change. For some of you reading this, it may sound familiar but I would invite you to consider these three areas of mastering change as it applies in your life today.

Commitment is always demonstrated in our actions and our results are always a reflection of our true intention. Why then do we resist so often looking at our results as a way to really see what we are committed to?  Because most of us get stuck in doing things the way that we are suppose to.  For Baby Boomers when faced with uncertainty, as we experience today, we want to follow a path that in the past has brought us a sense of certainty. Fast Company recently published an article talking about Gen-Xers and Y's and shared that they thrive in a state of flux where they are challenged to create new models, careers and challenge assumptions. The question to ask yourself is what you are REALLY committed to?

Accountability will only occur when you are 100% in ownership of all that you are creating in your life.  The Oz Principle, by co-authors Roger Connors, Tom Smith and Craig Hickman, teaches that without looking at your results, you will never really learn anything new.  I call it moving the furniture around in the same house instead of looking at a complete remodel to create something new.  In our upcoming Leadership Webinar, Kelly will show you a great tool to be accountable with the attitudes that have accountability and breakthrough thrive! 

Competency - Gone are the days when we got to BE competent as a place where we had arrived.  In this world where nothing stays the same for long, that means we all must be lifelong learners if we expect to stay engaged.  In the cell phone business 5 years ago, 3 companies controlled 64% of the SMART phone market - today non of them do and Samsung and Apple have taken the lead.  Competency and commitment to continual learning is the fuel of all leaders.  Think of it as the fountain of youth!  I have coached for years using the following metaphor:  When you are green, you are growing; when you are red and ripe, you start to rot.  Well that's a Fagan graphic picture for you.

On June 6, join us for an insightful and real-case experience - "Staying in the Race - A Case Study for Success" - as we explore more of these leadership principles with you and invite you to bring your real-world examples to this session to discuss how each one is impacting your ability to be in the flux and keep in the race.  You will:

  • Understand how managing the relationship vs. the person, builds commitment
  • See how attitude impacts accountability and generates greater results and breakthroughs
  • Understand how maintaining competency is the key to "Staying in the Race!

Here are just a few of the highly inspiring workshops available: 

 

Presuppositions of Excellence  -  Leaders who create revolutionary positive change hold the same presuppositions about how they choose to lead.  There is nothing new, only new environments in which to apply these foundational presuppositions of excellence. 

  • Learn the art of Requisite Variety and what can occur when you lead from the assumption that you have infinite choices.
  • Understand that behind every behavior is positive intention. Learn to see and hear people's positive intention and be able to recognize what they really want to achieve and how to support them in becoming successful.
  • Use feedback as the greatest tool for innovation and creativity.  Feedback can be used as a performance tool to empower people to excell in achieving their goals.
  • Learn how to chunk down projects to manageable objectives that can be achieved with the right level of competency and commitment.
  • Effective leaders know that the meaning of their communication is the response that they get  - even if it was not  intended.  Develop the ability to style flex to meet different generational, cultural and personal styles.

Accountability Prices and Payoffs - what it means to be in ownership. 

Ownership in organizations is often talked about, but seldom set up in a way that everyone fully embraces individual accountability.  The "Drift" of blaming and circumstances is so deep in most environments that people do not feel confident or strong enough to look at their performance and results objectively.  Our society does not reward full ownership unless it has proven to create success stories. In this session, you will discover a breakthrough model for looking at all your results as a way to create more positive outcomes.  Find out how a reframe of what it means to take ownership and be accountable can lead to innovation and out-of-the-box thinking.

 

Engaging Top Talent to a Higher Level of Contribution and Retention

Most people today consider an 18 month job rotation in or out of an organization as the norm. Unless people see their career path and growth opportunity, they will seek alternatives.  Companies lose $328 billion a year for lack of employee engagement.  On average it takes 1 ½ times annual salary to replace an employee.  As companies begin to expand with the recovery, systems that assure faster on-boarding  to be productive are a necessity.  Mobility, globalization and the need for higher profits to stay competitive will require a competent and committed resource team.  Learn our proven model for engaging employees and raising the bar on commitment.

 

Women  - Stepping  into The Driver's Seat

Today, 50- 60% of women working are still in staff jobs and only 17 of the Fortune 500 companies have women in the CEO seat.  In this high impact session, women will learn a formula to establish their net worth and how to get in the driver's seat of their life.  Put up the STOP sign on compromises and "giving up" on what you want in order to stay on the road.  Examine your true purpose and be guided by that each day to feel fulfilled, balanced and in control of your destiny.  Life is too short to keep driving with the emergency brake on.  You will join women of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs who will share and begin to see what is ahead for them and create a map of how to get there

  • See what you want
  • Listen to your resource team
  • Feel the excitement, knowing that you have a plan and can create what you want
  • Take action and go for it! 

Your workshop attendees will LOVE spending time with Barbara, Lou or Kelly and will leave absolutely lit up and ready to take action in their lives and relationships like never before!
