#What'sGoingOn?

As we come to the end of Quarter 2, there is so much going on!  We are continuously energised by, and grateful for, the work we are able to do with you - developing authentic leaders, building high performing teams, embedding wellbeing in your organisations, and providing the right balance of encouragement, support and challenge to our coachees for continued growth.

Whilst we have lots to share with you, our focus in this newsletter is predominantly courage ... because in addition to the above, we've had the great fortune to work with you specifically exploring and developing courage.  We also want to share a recently published article with you about self motivated employees.

 

Leadership Attributes - Courage, Empathy, A Scout Mindset &Wellbeing

It's almost the end of Quarter 1 and much has taken place!  During this first quarter, we have been inspired by many.  We've been inspired and energised by leaders who are sharing their perspectives on courage, and we've been inspired and learnt from the work of others ... and we would like to share our inspiration with you.

insium's Interviews with Courageous Leaders

A question on courage
 

In a world of constant disruption and mounting tension, it has never been more important to be courageous and to have courageous leaders across politics, business, government and community.

 

We're excited to officially announce
"Leading with Courage"

 

How courageous do you think leaders in Australia are?  How courageous are you?  What responsibility do you have to be courageous?

My purpose is to “open doors,” inviting people to courageously open, step through and explore the other side.  My vision is to build the courage reserves of Australia.

insium's newsletter on courage: September, 2017

The 5th World Congress of Positive Psychology

Leading with Courage

As several you are aware, I had the opportunity to present my “Leading with Courage” program at the recent 5th World Congress of Positive Psychology.  I received feedback on the program from a panel comprised of world renowned experts in the field of positive psychology and organisations, including Marisa Salanova, Professor of Work & Organisational Psychology, Jaume I University, Spain, and Anne Brafford, co-founder of Aspire Legal and Chairperson of the American Bar Association’s Attorney Wellbeing Committee.

 

As promised, the next few newsletters will focus on my learning at the recent 5th World Congress of Positive Psychology (WCCP) which was held in Montreal in July.  There was so much learnt, please consider this to be newsletter #1 of … a few.

Kim Cameron (Co-founder, Centre for Positive Organisations, University of Michigan), shared his wealth of knowledge and experience in working with positive organisations, positive leaders and positive energisers.

 

Three key points included:

  • Those who positively energise others are high performers
  • Positive energisers tend to enhance the work of others; people who interact with or are connected to energisers perform better too
  • High performing organisations had three times as many positive energising networks than low performing organisations.

 

Consider the following questions: are you a positive energiser or a de-energiser?
