At a recent executive team coaching session, I invited the team members to reflect on and share what moods they observed they were in – most said a mood of positivity and optimism.

Each day in February, I posted an insight into leadership to help you access more of your greatness, so you live and lead with greater fulfilment and impact.

Most leaders I work with claim to spend between 50-70% of their time in meetings; most of which they claim are unproductive, de-energising and unnecessary.

One of the most distinguishing attributes of high performing teams is the access teams have to the collective wisdom, no individual nor group has.

My wish is 2023 be your most special and exciting year, filled with good health and happiness.

As the year draws to a close, let’s gift ourselves the opportunity and reflect on the lessons learnt and how these may serve us moving into 2023.

Whilst we can’t control our moods, we can manage our moods – we all can manage and shift our moods to better serve us and others.

At a recent executive team coaching session, the team members acknowledged they all needed to be better listeners.

Identity politics plays the game of, ‘either with OR against’. So do floundering teams.

As a leader, the most valuable thing you can do is to hold the space of silence.
