Are you trying to create socially and environmentally sustainable products or services but find that people in your workplace aren't working in ways that are either personally or organizationally sustainable? Office politics, short term goals, non-collaborative work styles, win/lose mindsets, and fear can be the norm in all sorts of workplaces, regardless of the product or service provided. So what can be done to create a sustainable, high performance work culture at your office where these problems are not the norm?

Come join us to explore this question in this free tele-seminar. In it, you will have a chance to:

  • Assess how sustainable your own workplace culture is;
  • Deepen your understanding of what it takes to address unproductive mindsets and work styles that drag everyone down and erode your enterprise;
  • Learn about a powerful way your office can build a more sustainable, high performing work culture that is essential for delivering sustainable products and services.

Tele-seminar: Evaluating your 2010 and Making 2011 Your Best Year Yet
Recorded on Thursday, December 30, 2010 @ 12:00 - 12:45 P.M., E.S.T.

Are you tired of year-end analyses where you look at your achievements against your goals….and yawn? And are you tired of making New Year's resolutions that never stick past about January 3rd? If so, you are invited to join me for a unique tele-seminar designed to give you a chance to make sense of your 2010 and set intentions for 2011 in a whole new way than you have done before. In it, you will be invited to explore for yourself such things as:

  • What really matters to you
  • Big risks you've taken this year
  • Significant learning and growth you have experienced
  • What it will take to create more joy and "flow" in your life
  • What is holding you back from having what you most want
  • Overcoming your own roadblocks

Through a guided set of questions, you will have a chance to contemplate and write down your own insights into these and other topics in the privacy of your own office or home. By the end of our tele-seminar, you will have created a framework that will help you make new sense of what 2010 really meant for you, as well as what's possible for you in 2011. In the process, we'll change your usual year-end "yawn" to a year-end "a-ha".

In order to get the most value from this call, you will need to be writing your own answers to questions I will be asking. It therefore will require your full attention, and not lend itself to casual participation.

Enriching School Leadership Development Through Coaching

Co-authored by Mary Gorham, Matia Finn-Stevenson, and Beth Lapin, School of the 21st Century
Yale University Summer 2008

Effective school leadership promotes academic success, positive school climate, and staff stability. Traditional professional development methods, such as training, mentoring, and on-the-job leadership assignments, are useful but have some inherent limitations. Integration of leadership coaching - a highly customized learning process that helps school leaders align their purpose, choices, and actions - into an overall strategy for leadership development, succession planning, and performance management can provide impressive results.
