Reminder from @ICFHQ training ☕: Accountability only works when it’s designed with someone, not for them. Not imposed. Not copy-pasted. Built around how they operate. That’s where follow-through lives. Co-create → real ownership. #Leadership #Coaching
Want teams to learn faster? Don’t leave learning to training programs. Build it into the work. Ask in meetings: • What are you working on? • Where are you stuck? • What support do you need? Trust and collaboration follow. 🔗Read more in @ForbesCoaches forbes.com/councils/forbe…
LinkedIn’s 2026 “Skills on the Rise” report says AI is #1. No surprise. What stands out? Executive communication, leadership & stakeholder engagement are right behind it. The shift is clear: It’s not just what you know. It’s what you can lead, influence & execute.
Many CEOs communicate frequently—town halls, email updates—yet teams still feel disconnected. The shift isn’t about saying more. It’s about moving from telling to involving. Dialogue builds trust, ownership, & real engagement. forbes.com/councils/forbe… #Leadership @ForbesCoaches
I recently worked with a #leadership team using DiSC + Catalyst. The goal wasn’t to “fix” anyone. It was to improve how they work together. When leaders understand different styles around decisions, conflict, and change, trust grows. Conversations get easier. Results follow.
When leaders expand their influence range, outcomes shift. Grateful to work with leaders at the Cancer Support Community Annual Leadership Conference on expanding influence styles — and for Kelly Hendershot’s thoughtful reflection on the impact of that session. (Video 👇)
When teams show anxiety during change, leaders often call it resistance. It’s not. It’s data. The question isn’t how to eliminate worry. It’s how to surface it early enough to work with it. 🔗 forbes.com/councils/forbe… #Leadership #ChangeManagement
Healthy executive teams aren’t accidental. After 30+ years in C-suites, I’ve learned the best teams: • Generate positive energy • Communicate w/ clarity • Normalize vulnerability If a team is talented but frustrated, it’s rarely a talent problem. It’s a trust design problem.
Silence creates stories. When leaders don’t share context —especially during change— people fill in the gaps. That’s where stress grows. I wrote about this in my most-read Forbes article on reducing employee stress. 🔗forbes.com/councils/forbe…
I’ve learned that when leaders say “we need more people,” the better question is often about the work. Clarity comes before capacity. Right work first. Right team second. #LeadershipClarity
