Earlier this month I attended the International Coach Federation conference and was very impressed with the quality of the speakers, the information provided, together with the ability to network with many other coaches. It was an excellent 3 days. Just some snippets on leadership for you:
Coming soon: Our Dashboard Doctor software for managing the KPI’s in the business. As a business coach I am consistently looking at ways for businesses to improve their operations and streamlining those operations. Managing KPI’s can be time consuming, depending on the type and size of the business. The Dashboard Doctor allows you to have the KPI’s in an easy to use format, which you can then analyse and then determine where to direct your energies. The Dashboard Doctor is your business control panel - keeping you in control on how each aspect of your business is performing at a glance.
Just imagine - better control of Finance, Operations, Sales, Service, Internal Processes with the ability to customise it to your business. Its like a control panel on an airplane. You are in control with the ability to see what’s working and what isn’t
– and if you can’t measure it, you can’t fix it. Many businesses are now experiencing and achieving great results from our Successful Business Program, which keeps businesses continually improving. Our business coaches will hold you accountable - if you want to achieve something they will help you break it down to achievable bits and then hold you accountable to achieve it. They will also help you lead your business to greater success. If you want to WIN in the game of business then hire a coach. Why not contact us for your FREE business needs analysis to discuss how we can help you to take your business to the next level. Please feel free to share this newsletter with others, but pass it on in full and always remember that:

Leadership skills in the next decade will considerably impact on the success of a business. As Jenny Brent, Leader, People and Organisational Change for the National Australia Bank stated at the ICF conference, change is always going to happen so learning the skills to manage change and understand employees is vital. The skills of leading a values based business together with being able to select, retain, motivate and empower good staff, continually improve the skills of the staff, being emotionally intelligent, ability to create systems, delegate and communicate effectively are all vitally important to managing change. I would also add the importance of monitoring and determining the effect of any change on the KPI’s is vital. There are variables within business that constantly change and the ability to understand the impact of a change in a particular variable on a result is important. The more staff employed in a business, the more important the monitoring. A business that is constantly up-to-date with their KPI’s can make vital business decisions. They are alerted that change is on the way and have warnings to change their operations or plan for success moving forward. When there are more staff employed and there is no monitoring of the correct KPI’s, it is amazing how quickly a business can go from being very, very profitable, to running at a loss, and suddenly wonder what has happened to the bank balance. Just remember that developing leadership skills is a journey and it is not something that you learn overnight by just reading a book. Coaching and mentoring plays a vital role in developing leadership skills, as quite often it is easy to see ourselves in a different way to how others see us. Awareness is the key, because once you are aware of something you can work at changing it as long as you have the desire to change. Invest in the leadership ability of yourself and your staff with a Moving Forward Business Coach and you will soon be reaping the benefits. |

Cathy Vescio-Dibella who I wrote about in our March 2005 newsletter http://www.movingforwardcoaching.com.au/Text/1069219569848-0808/uploadedFiles/1111025785803-0234.htm was nominated as a finalist in the Telstra Business Women’s Awards. Well done Cathy. These awards recognize and reward the ingenuity and innovation of Australia’s most outstanding business women. At Innovation Hairdressing, Cathy and her sister Michelle identified that teenagers were always having problems communicating with their parents and parents had trouble communicating with their children. Cathy is passionate about helping the many clients that she has and came to me to coach her to develop a program aimed at teenagers and personal development. Body Culture – Grow Learn Develop was born. It is a program that gives our youth of today an opportunity to learn practical life skills which encourages them to Grow, Learn and Develop. The Body Culture GLD program is experiencing great success with teenagers in Victoria and is now being delivered in high schools in Victoria. You can view the details of Cathy’s program at http://www.bodyculture.com.au/ The development of our teenagers is so important and to help them develop in a positive way and see their self-confidence and abilities grow is truly rewarding. Cathy I congratulate you on this innovative training program. | |
