    Coach’s Corner – Building Resilience

    June 5, 2020 /

    What is resilience? As defined by the Webster’s Dictionary, it is “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.” The past few months and looking forward to the coming months, resilient people and businesses will recover and succeed. The recovery and adjustment will not be to the old ways, it will be to a “new normal” that has been imposed by current situations and restrictions—social distancing being one by-product. The question for many is how do we build resilience? What are the steps or processes that we can incorporate into our lives that strengthen our resiliency? How do we move forward successfully? “Resilience is accepting your…

    Managing your workforce remotely

    June 4, 2020 /

    Covid-19 has fast-tracked us into a new business paradigm that was, just a few months ago, only slowly infiltrating our business lives. A Gallup poll recently showed that by the end of April, 63% of people had worked from home in the preceding seven days. A Global Workplace Analytics survey shows that between 25% – 30% of the U.S. workforce will be working from home post-pandemic for multiple days of the week. Interestingly, some 77% will want to work from home. This “new norm” will require managers to rethink, not only their management approach and practices, but also learn new skills. Here are 8 things you should bear in mind…

    The COVID Stress Challenge

    June 3, 2020 /

    We live in crazy times and given the number of stressors flying about us it’s no wonder many of us are struggling to retain a sense of equilibrium. Minister for Women and Gender Equality, Maryam Monsef, recently said, “What the pandemic has done with the self-isolation measures, with the closures of some of the support systems, is create a powder keg.” She was referring to the recent increase in domestic violence across Canada, but it’s not a stretch to imagine business relationships being strained by the stress we are all under with the current situation. And, we need to consider our employees who are working from home cloistered with their spouses, children…

    Does your integrity bear scrutiny?

    February 3, 2020 /

    That’s an in-your-face question. It almost slaps you across the face with its audacity. How dare anyone cast aspersions on you or your company’s integrity. Your knee-jerk reaction is to undoubtedly to say, 100%. But, is anyone 100% honest and ethical all the time? Is any company that honest and above board? What about shades of grey? Would every one of your employees score 100% on an integrity meter? What about you or your management team? Now for a scary thought: what about your advertising and promotional literature or your hiring practices? The problem with integrity is that there is no sliding scale, you either have integrity or you don’t.…
