A really practical article that can help you improve your #listeningskills , even if you aren't designated as a #leader
From this interesting article - "Most speakers average 150-175 words per minute while most listeners can consume 400-500 words per minute. Distracted leaders allow their excess brain capacity to dialogue internally about the conversation and miss meaning by relying only on the words spoken (which account for only seven percent of #communication)."

Here's a must read article if you want to develop yourself as an "Authentic Leader".
From the article - "Authentic leaders are always investing in strengths -- their own strengths as well as those of their followers."
When you think about it, you realize that trying to fix weaknesses wastes time, causes unhappiness, dissatisfaction and disengagement, and building on strengths can accelerate growth while having a positive energy experience.
Songs of Resilience.

Mondays (and a few special other days) sometimes can be really tough and knock us down really hard. Coming back the next day is a challenge at times. So we use difference tools to build our #resiliency to these days. Some of us use music.
Here's one of my favourite tracks, particularly since it brings a lot of energy back. I have shared the lyrics version to make it easier to understand the words.

If #music is what you use to bounce back, please share your favourite track / tune.
The job of the C-Suite folk just got tougher over the past 2 years. Well-being is one of the many items at the forefront of the already numerous things they have to focus on in 2022 and beyond. They have to really, really prepare themselves for all these challenges.
This article talks about 7 areas they can focus their self-development efforts on.

My thoughts - The C-suite has to work as a well-oiled team, simply because no one person has all the answers. The need to hire people with #complimentingstrengths is stronger now than ever before. So there must also be focus on building this team of complementing talents through strengths based hiring.
Here's the feedback from a one hour online session on Resilient Leadership for a Technology Organization earlier this month.
As a member of the IAF (International Association of Facilitators), we celebrate FacWeek every year in the month of October where we facilitators go out and do 90 minute sessions for corporates, NGOs and Educational Institutes - probono.
I have been doing this for IAF since 2018, and this year was no exception. I did four sessions on topics chosen by that organization. Here is the feedback from "The Resilient Leader" session that I did for two organizations. In one of the sessions, I had the pleasure of having Hardy Alexander as my co-facilitator.
Have a look at the feedback and let me know what you think.
If you want me to do this session (it's actually a full two-day workshop, write to me at ryanbbarretto@hotmail.com
