Downturn, Upturn? or Your Turn to cross the Chasm: A View Towards 2010
If you think 2009 was a tough year, get set for 2010. We are on the leading edge of a shift in how humans organise themselves to accomplish purpose and it has only just begun. There is a growing awareness that what got you here won't get you through the paradigm shift that is occurring before our eyes. The key to traversing this divide is a radical transformation of mindset. We are not just talking about positive thinking or self awareness either, we are talking about stretching minds, coming out of our comfort zones and completely rethinking organisations and business.
Organisations who embrace continuous learning (strongly differentiated to "ticking the box" training!), who have a high level of awareness of the changing context, a well developed sense of purpose and are thoroughly integrated, conversing and connected at all their boundaries and interfaces with the world around them and inside them, are more likely to come out the "other side" of this current crisis. Those organisations and people that cannot make the cultural shift simply won't survive. >>Read More

Why Do Leaders need Coaching and Why is Coaching More Useful Than Training?
Coaching has come a long way since the days when it was associated with under-performance. IBM has more than sixty certified coaches among its ranks and scores of other major companies have made coaching a core part of executive development.
Today the benefits of coaching leaders are far more recognised as a one-one-one interaction that can provide immediate results, feedback and guidance in real-time. This time spent with an objective third party can therefore provide a focus and application of learning to the situation in the moment, that other forms of organisational support simply cannot. Most importantly, it really makes leaders think strategically about their role, their purpose and find the capacity within themselves to make a difference, to leave a legacy for the organisation (i.e. See Xenergie's Executive Leadership Coaching Training)
Without coaching, many executives plateau in their careers due to difficulty with critical interpersonal and leadership skills, and according to research by Dr Michael Watkins, 40% of new hires fail without it.
