Greetings!
 Well, Christmas Day is past, and perhaps you're still taking some time off to relax, re-energize, and renew - our leadership tip from last time!
Or maybe today is back to work for you, and the exciting new year awaits. Either way, I hope you can continue to celebrate your own opportunity to be a positive influence through the holidays and into the new year.
This is the fifth week of a five-week tip series focusing on "Leading Through the Holidays - Five Tips to be a Powerful Influence." Today is Tip #5 in this series; check it out. If you missed Tips #1-4, you can find them here.
And have a wonderful week!

MONDAY MORNING LEADERSHIP TIP #153
Leading Through the Holidays: Recognize Accomplishments |
|
 As 2009 comes to an end, take a bit of time to acknowledge publicly to your staff what things you have noticed that have happened during the year, especially those things you may not have commented on at all previously.
Focus not just on the things that are public knowledge or have already been announced. They need to know you didn't miss their efforts.
What about a goal that wasn't reached, but a lot of hard work was put into it?
Or perhaps the planning someone put into running meetings -- or creating flyers -- these routine, often unnoticed tasks. Let them know you appreciate them.
Trust is gained and relationships are built a tiny step at a time, often in the midst of the ordinary. Take a moment and surprise someone - recognize an ordinary accomplishment! |

GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF A LIFE COACH |
|
Would you like a partner walking along side you as you improve your leadership skills?
Research shows that, the effectiveness of learning is increased fourfold when the participant is partnered with a Coach. A 1997 study showed training resulting in 22% increase in effectiveness, and when combined with coaching, it increased to 88%.
 I can help you develop what you already possess to reach your goals successfully and effectively.
How does Life Coaching work?
Generally done over the phone, Coaching is client-driven; you decide what you need, where you want to grow, and I provide guidance, support and accountability.
Did you know that Coaching can be tax deductible?
And Coaching typically qualifies to be financed through dollars required to be specified for training only?
