Team Coaching (Strategic Leadership Retreat)

I had a full day of leadership strategic session offsite recently. It was a refreshing time. I facilitated a team check-in. I helped set up a team agreement. I offered some perspectives and facilitated some discussions. When different leaders facilitated, I observed the team dynamics and intervene when a shift was needed.

What was new wasn’t what I did.

What was new was how I did it. I did it from a role of an in-house team coach.

It was a very different way of being as compared to being an external facilitator.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Workshop - Motion For Impact

[What do I do as a team coach in Motion?]

Using Motion’s language, I help individuals and the team shift their “ways of being”. I help them see ways to engage with purpose and most importantly with CARE. When we do that, the results speak for itself. The team members trust each other. Clients trust us.

We ended this week learning strengths together. It was a dedicated time to stop and reflect, to listen and to know each other in a deeper way, to build respect and care.

The Motion team saw how the values and beliefs held in Motion: For Impact was deeply connected to Juliana Mattar’s strengths. As a team, we acknowledged her leadership and how she showed care.

Felt so energized after the session. I love being able to apply the different ontological coaching process into this space!

Team Coaching at Motion: 2022 Moments

It’s been one month into my new role as an in-house #teamcoach at Motion: For Impact 

I observed that the pace is fast. Yet, we can be fast and intentional. Creating capacity in oneself and in teams is about intentionally creating the space for #learning. 

We came together to do a team session focusing on 2022 moments. The idea was to reflect on key moments of 2022 to draw out personal learnings.

The session started in a light hearted way before everyone did some serious self-work. We acknowledged the highlights and lowlights and drew out learnings. We ended with a time of gratitude to have closure. 

The rest of the day was focused on how the business has developed and we ended the day by inviting different business partners to join us for a celebration meal. 

For me, the day can be summarized by two phrases:

- Joyful growth 

- Connection to self and others

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Leadership Team Coaching - Partnerships and Collaboration

Had a fabulous time facilitating a team session and coaching a group of very established leaders using #cliftonstrengths (formerly known as StrengthsFinder). Many flew in from overseas so we had a chance to do the session in person rather than having a hybrid session.

The emotional and mood space of the team was perfect for learning. Many shared openly and vulnerably. Each person intentionally slowed down, listened to others and had time for personal reflection.

I had fun designing the short session, listening in and observing the dynamics. I deeply believe the insights and feedback generated through the session will bear fruit for many of these leaders.

CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder) Leadership Team Coaching - Collaboration

Ran a hybrid team coaching session for a team of regional leaders using #CliftonStrengths (formerly known as StrengthsFinder).

Did a one word check in at the start and words like “curious, excited, grateful” came up. The mood of the team was perfectly set up for learning and I believe the team’s mood contributed to me feeling strongly engaged as well.

We explored how to leverage strengths more effectively for collaboration. We also explored the shifts that are needed for a more intentional strengths based approach to leadership. It was great fun.

Energy Management and Well Being Talk

[Manage Your Energy, Manage Your Life]

Energy in our body is the fuel needed to sustain performance. Many are reporting that “they generally feel tired all the time” in this current season. Managing our energy in a holistic way is all the more important to avoid burnout, disengagement and win our fight against our mental health challenges. Not just mental health, we need to pay attention to physical health, emotional health and spiritual health (or what most termed as purpose).

This was a 40 minutes Energy Management and Well Being Talk for a group of 80 finance staff from a large retailer in Singapore. This was also my first face to face talk since 2019. I love helping people take ownership in different areas of their lives so I’m very grateful for opportunities such as this to live out my personal mission!
