Every day we have choices to make. I often hear the adage "chose wisely" - but wisdom is not taught it is learned, through experience. So in order to (eventually) choose wisely you just choose and go with it. If it works out great, if not, well, you have found a way not to do it which takes you closer to what does work for you. Have a great weekend everyone. (at Glasgow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNcbVATjzzD/?igshid=kb9i31vpfldo

Maintaining focus on your own development should be at the heart of any decisions you make. Achieved a goal? Good, set a new one. Never stop working towards your dream outcome and don't step on people on the way. Help raise them up, don't push them down; this is where true fulfillment lies. --------------------------------------------- Learn from the past. Look to the future.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEAMS PT. 2 - WHAT IS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEAM?

HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEAMS PT. 2 – WHAT IS A HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEAM?

A high-performance team is a collection of individuals who work as a unit to achieve a shared goal.

Whilst the above is technically correct, any collection of individuals can make a team; so what sets high-performance teams apart?

It goes without saying that any group of people can work towards a shared goal, so it’s clear that a high-performance team requires a group of participants who…

A group of people do not automatically make a team. It is even more unlikely that they would automatically create a high-performance one. Creating a high-performance team takes time, effort and nurturing. The whole group has to be dedicated, cooperative and open to continued review. Identifying areas that can be improved should never be seen as faults, they should be seen as learning opportunities and everyone involved should be fully committed to the common goal. Success. The success of the individual and the success of the team which feeds directly into the overall success of the organisation. Fixed mindsets do not advance a group of people into a high-performance team. Open, growth mindsets are required to ensure that the group can evolve together into that high-performance team.  As Thomas Reid stated in 1786 “In every chain of reasoning, the evidence of the last conclusion can be no greater than that of the weakest link of the chain, whatever may be the strength of the rest”. Coaching the “weakest link” and uncovering the interferences that are preventing consistent levels of performance will improve harmony in the team resulting in a more cohesive environment.  #coachingtips #momentum #performancecoaching #coachingblog #performancecoach #growthmindset #personalgrowthtips #personalgrowthcoach #goodread #blogtime #powerofcoaching #bestyou #mindsetshift #successfulmindset #winningatlife #motivationalposts #motivationalwords #coachingworld #lifecoachingtips #transformyourlife #thursdaythoughts #thursdaythought #thursdaytip #thursdaymotivation #thursdaytips #thursdaymotivation (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIC_Oe4jYzI/?igshid=13vo4ktgtvkox

HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS PART 1

Individuals can achieve magnificent things and, on their own, can also be high performers. But a high-performance team can achieve things any individual can only dream of.

Individuals can achieve magnificent things and, on their own, can also be high performers. But a high-performance team can achieve things any individual can only dream of. Of course, there are very successful individuals but behind them will be a carefully selected team that fully commit to the vision and goals set.  From elite world-class athletes to the most successful entrepreneurs, the one thing that they all have in common is that they surround themselves with a group of people that complement their skill set and help to propel them to the high levels of performance they experience. This, largely unseen team, put in just as much work behind the scenes, but are an equally vital part of the process. A high-performance team working together as a collective has cohesion and synergy, which is greater than the sum of its individual parts. Creating and maintaining a high-performance environment with balance and a complementary skill set is invaluable and can help propel any business or organisation.  #coachingtips #momentum #performancecoaching #coachingblog #performancecoach #growthmindset #personalgrowthtips #personalgrowthcoach #goodread #blogtime #powerofcoaching #bestyou #mindsetshift #successfulmindset #winningatlife #motivationalposts #motivationalwords #coachingworld #lifecoachingtips #transformyourlife #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaytips #transformationtuesday #tuesday #tuesdaywisdom (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH90GsYDcuG/?igshid=mfaqlprl75ac

On this day in 1965 Kenneth Tynan was the first person to say "FUCK" on British tv (although this is diputed). 4 motions were tabled were tabled in parliament. If ever there was an example of how we grow and progress it is this one. If the same happened would there be the same outrage? Society changes so quickly and people will always be there to push the boundaries. Are you pushing any boundaries? Even in your personal life? Challenge the status quo and step out of your comfort zone. Life can be a whole lot more fulfilling that way. Remember, "a critic is a man who knows the way but can't drive the car" Make your own journey. Learn from the past. Look to the future. Live for the moments and enjoy the journey. Reflect. Learn.

WHO DOES IT AFFECT AND WHY? Anyone is the short answer and there is no single explanation, however, there are many theories and reasons why it may play such a huge part in the lives of up to 70% of the population. It is believed that personality traits such as anxiety or neuroticism may play a part in the condition. It is also thought that our childhoods may play a role in developing these limiting self-beliefs systems. Highly successful people suffer from imposters syndrome, so the condition doesn’t equate to low self-esteem or a lack of self-confidence. It may actually be linked more to perfectionism, especially in women or academics, and may be due to the labels and expectations our parents placed on us, whether they were positive or negative.  WHAT CAN YOU DO? The first step you can take is to identify and acknowledge any of these thoughts you may be having and put them into perspective. Reframe these thoughts, for example, to accept that constructive criticism is a valuable tool in helping you to grow and see improvements in your life, career or sport. It is just information after all. Whilst you can't control what people may say, you can control how you react to,  and process the information. Reflect on how you would have done things differently, does the information provided make sense and marry up with your own thoughts? If so great, the information was accurate. If not, explore confidently why you wouldn’t make the changes suggested. This will help to improve your self-belief. Talk to someone. Anyone that you trust. This could be a friend, mentor or even a performance coach. Whoever you speak to, they should have your best interests at heart and not approach the conversation in a judgmental way as this could only set you back. Make sure that boundaries are set so that the person providing support asks for permission to share something you might not like. This helps to prepare the brain for the information and you’ll have a higher chance of processing the information with an open mindset allowing for clearer thinking.

WHAT IS IT? Imposters syndrome can be explained as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persists despite evident success. ‘Imposters’ suffer from chronic self-doubt and a sense of intellectual fraudulence that override any feelings of success or external proof of their confidence. It can also be described as not belonging in a subjects field and that any success will be rationalised as being down to luck rather than the subjects talent, experience or qualifications. Subjects are unable to internalise accomplishments, however successful they are. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?  Subjects can have overwhelming feelings that they are fake and that they are going to be ‘found out’ by peers or other members of the public. Subjects will tend to account for any successes as being down to luck and that their skills played no part in the success. They can also try to process any success as being no big deal and downplay their achievements. Check back on Thursday for Pt. II Interested in reading the full blog?

Change isn't easy. We can even actively resist change for numerous reasons. The world around us changes everyday and if we don't adapt we can get left behind with feelings of inadequacy.

Finally, there are the process goals. These are the bedrock of the whole process. These are the SMART(er) steps where the coachee will realise how much they are going to invest in their progress and their growth. Self-awareness and honest insight are key components as no matter the goal, if these attributes are not making up the bedrock of the process then it has a high chance of failure. If the coachee is not able to achieve any process goals. Then the whole goal-setting process needs to be reviewed and readjusted.  Understanding and using the above process sets the different levels of the pyramid apart and helps the coachee avoid the failings they have been experiencing so far. If done properly, energy, confidence and motivation are created which encourages the coachee to continue working towards the goals set. If the process is not followed and the pyramid gets confused or mixed up, it can set the coachee back, removing that energy, confidence and motivation as the coachee will blame themselves and have a poor opinion of coaching, when in actual fact the process was doomed to failure from the start. #coachingtips #momentum #performancecoaching #coachingblog #performancecoach #growthmindset #personalgrowthtips #personalgrowthcoach #goodread #blogtime #powerofcoaching #bestyou #mindsetshift #successfulmindset #winningatlife #motivationalposts #motivationalwords #coachingworld #lifecoachingtips #transformyourlife #saturday #saturdaymorning #saturdayinspiration #smartgoals #goals #goalsetting (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHSIAjODPv2/?igshid=1uakxjjjiopfh

By taking a long term view and using visualisation, a dream goal can be identified. This is the big why. It’s the vision, the purpose, the meaning. It’s what drives the energy and gets the coachee up and out of bed in the morning and raring to go. By setting an end goal it identifies the clear target. It’s the big what. It may not be completely within the control of the coachee (e.g. win a gold medal at next competition, clearly there are other factors involved in winning the gold) but it is a concrete idea or vision that the coachee has aspirations for. Next would be to identify performance goals. These are the tangible milestones mentioned before and are what the coachee believes is necessary to achieve their end goal. The coachee is 100% responsible for achieving them and the outcomes are a direct consequence of how much work has been put into them. By breaking down the end goal down into smaller chunks, the coachee can see the progress they are making which keeps the energy levels high and the focus on the end goal. #coachingtips #momentum #performancecoaching #coachingblog #performancecoach #growthmindset #personalgrowthtips #personalgrowthcoach #goodread #blogtime #powerofcoaching #bestyou #mindsetshift #successfulmindset #winningatlife #motivationalposts #motivationalwords #coachingworld #lifecoachingtips #transformyourlife #thursdaythoughts #thursday #thursdaymotivation #thursdaymood (at Edinburgh, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHM_KY1D45D/?igshid=co4zhc8atcwh

[skbperformancecoaching]

Whether in life, sport or business, setting goals is an important process which helps to identify and shape the way progress is to be measured. When used correctly real progress can be achieved in quite a short period of time, it all depends on the set-up of the process and how much the coachee commits to the process. There are many types of goals, short term, medium and long term. Not all coaching or goal setting is effective or successful. This is more than likely down to the approach taken at the outset and how the process is broken down into smaller more manageable chunks which provide tangible milestones. The coachee has to know that they are responsible for setting their own goals and that the success and progress is down to their efforts. If they are set by someone else then the sense of ownership is not achieved. The coachee won’t feel responsible for them and that gives them an out or excuse if the goals are not achieved. By following the GROW model and setting transformative goals re: the goal setting pyramid, ownership is ensured and a clear structure is in place that the coachee can understand. Without that vision, it will be unlikely that coachees will find the energy or desire to complete the process. #coachingtips #momentum #performancecoaching #coachingblog #performancecoach #growthmindset #personalgrowthtips #personalgrowthcoach #goodread #blogtime #powerofcoaching #bestyou #mindsetshift #successfulmindset #winningatlife #motivationalposts #motivationalwords #coachingworld #lifecoachingtips #transformyourlife #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaytips #tuesdays #tuesdaywisdom #tuesdaywisdom (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHHvfQmjoAh/?igshid=11zxab4xf97pe
