SCARF Model
Our teams need - and deserve - to feel safe and seen at work. But creating that kind of overall environment is really challenging. And great leaders know that, in addition to a good environment, they need to create meaningful connections with each of their team members on an individual basis. They need to understand what motivates them and what makes them feel unsure or threatened.
Psychologist David Rock developed the SCARF Model, and it can help leaders do exactly that! The SCARF Model is an amazing tool that can provide insight into team members' relationship with each of the 5 pillars of psychological safety. I use it often with my clients to help them better understand how they can build trust with others and collaborate more easily.

Empowerment

Before I turned 16 and got my driver's license, I had a pretty skewed idea of what it would be like to actually drive. Honestly, I thought it looked easy. Even on I-95 near DC, where I grew up. I thought people made too big a deal out of the whole ordeal. Just manage speed, read signs, use signals, and you should be good to go, right?.... Needless to say, the reality of driving on a freeway wit...
Blind Spot
Переглядів 1614 днів тому
When I took my first formal leadership role some 25 years ago, I didn't have any idea how to create the kind of workplace my team would be excited to come to 5 days a week. I knew a lot about the function the team was performing, and I could manage up with the best of them. But like many new leaders - and even some experienced ones - I often leaned on my positional authority rather than making ...
The Power of Yet
Переглядів 1114 днів тому
I don't know what to do....yet. I can't do that...yet. I've said some combination of these lines and many others to myself a thousand times over the last 8 months as I started my own coaching business. And I've said them to my clients thousands of times more still. Those 3 little letters at the end of those sentences is so powerful. "Yet." Powerful because they leave room for a different ending...
RACI Matrix

RACIs aren't just for projects! Understanding who on our teams and in our personal lives are responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed for various tasks can help our busy days be a little more streamlined. We even use a simple version of this for chores at home! What parts of your work and home life could benefit from a RACI?
2 Factor Theory
Переглядів 43Місяць тому
Keeping our teams engaged, motivated, and fulfilled is really challenging - I learned this the hard way when I took on my first formal leadership role almost 25 years ago. I was an ambitious young Supervisor over a Credit Cards shop and could be inconsistent with giving my team recognition and wasn’t necessarily mindful of assigning them work that would develop certain skills. I had really high...
Awe and Wonder
Переглядів 11Місяць тому
As a coach, I've seen firsthand how cultivating a sense of awe and wonder can be transformative. These feelings can enhance well-being, boost creativity, and foster a deeper connection with the world. 🌠🙌 But in our fast-paced lives, it can be all too easy to get caught up in the daily grind and overlook the magic all around us. Which is why I often partner with clients to find practical tools t...
Motivation

What really motivates you? What if the things you think drive you, like that next promotion or a bigger paycheck, aren’t necessarily what you’re looking for? One of the ways I help my clients connect with their true drivers is by examining 3 key elements to motivation, as laid out by Daniel Pink in his excellent book, "Drive."
Eisenhower Matrix

Do you ever find yourself paralyzed by your to-do list, wondering where you should start? 🙋♂️ You're not alone - this regularly comes up with my clients. One of the tools I recommend to help them prioritize tasks is the Eisenhower Matrix. This simple-but-mighty framework can help you and your team eliminate unnecessary work so you can focus on the things that matter most.
Kaizen
Переглядів 232 місяці тому
Kaizen, a Japanese philosophy meaning "continuous improvement," can revolutionize how we set and achieve our goals. I use it with my clients all the time to help them bite-size their big, audacious dreams and ambitions into incremental goals that are more manageable. By incorporating Kaizen into your own goal-setting process, you'll find yourself achieving more with less stress 💪🚀.
Design Thinking

Feeling stuck on an important decision? Discover the power of divergence and convergence in design thinking! Divergence encourages us to explore many ideas and perspectives, sparking creativity and new possibilities. Convergence then helps us narrow down these options, focusing on the most promising solutions. By balancing exploration and decision-making, we can make more informed, confident ch...
Wu Wei
Переглядів 32 місяці тому
The Chinese Taoists had a concept called Wu Wei, or Effortless Living 🌿. The idea is that when we align with the natural flow of life, productivity and creativity come naturally. We've all experienced that flow state at some point in our lives, but we don't always think about setting the right environment to get into this state more easily and more often 🌊✨. When is the last time you experience...
Additive Bias
Переглядів 32 місяці тому
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to believe that more is always better-more tasks, more responsibilities, more action. We often pile on new initiatives, processes, or tools, thinking that adding more will solve our issues. This tendency is called additive bias. Though it can seem counterintuitive, sometimes doing less can lead to greater impact. Next time you're faced with a challenge, resist...
Narrative Identity
Переглядів 43 місяці тому
The stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves, matter! And if some of those stories have become unhelpful, or even harmful, using tools like the Narrative Identity Framework can help us examine and reframe our experiences in a more productive way. ✨🌱 You deserve to be the author of your own story, not just a character in it! How can you reframe some of your inner storytelling to show up as you...

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? It's time to reconnect with nature through forest bathing, or "shinrin-yoku." This Japanese practice invites you to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest, providing a natural remedy for modern life's hustle and bustle.

Thomas is a fantastic coach; I’ve “leveled up” my leadership game considerably since becoming one of his clients.
