The Approach.
“Everybody wants to be somebody; nobody wants to grow.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You Need More Than Just Passion, Ideas or Good Intentions
Are you a smart, passionate and compassionate young leader looking to build a thriving team?
Can you truly say that you are getting the most out of your team?
Are you tired of learning everything about leadership or team building without getting results?
Is your personal brand crystal clear and brilliantly bright?
Or maybe you feel stuck with your team, overwhelmed and are not sure how to move forward?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the Becoming a Willing Student® Business Coaching Model will help you strengthen your own place and unique position as a young leader.
In today’s increasingly competitive and highly saturated global workplace and marketplace, there is no shortage of doing. Much rarer is execution of a leadership strategy that is aligned with your broader business goals and personal objectives. This is why most young leaders struggle to become who they want to be. The right leadership strategy maximizes your impact and positions you as a sustainable asset and trusted advisor to your team.
How much empowered does your team feel around you?
It’s not enough to just have a goal, passion or ideas. We trust people that empower us. In 2019, the Edelman Trust Barometer, found that people around the world had shifted their trust to the relationships within their control. At the time of this global study, people globally trusted in their employer (75 percent) more than NGOs (57 percent), business (56 percent) and media (47 percent). However, this was before the COVID-19 pandemic. These numbers have changed.
At the beginning of the pandemic companies laid off tens of millions of workers and as a result many employees no longer trust their employers as they once did. A 2022 survey of 5,000 U.S. workers by Lifeworks (acquired by Telus in 2022 and now merged into Telus Health) found that nearly one in five workers, trust employers less than they did before the pandemic. And a 2023 survey by A.Team in partnership with Pollfish, found that 66% of all workers, and 83% who had recently been let go, say layoffs made them lose trust in the stability and security of full-time employment.
You may not be a big business or big employer, but you need to think like one. The loss of trust in institutions is happening at the same time that people are feeling more powerful. This trend started before the pandemic. In their 2018 Global Human Capital Trends report, Deloitte found out that the power of the individual was growing and that young workers were at the forefront of this shift in power. This is fascinating because to me what it means is that people around the world were feeling powerful yet at the same time feeling less control over their lives and future.
Becoming a Willing Student business coaching model will teach you how to communicate your ideas in a way that makes people connect with you. We’ll show you why strategy is the most important thing you should develop before you do anything else. It saves you money, relationships, time, and a whole lot of stress.
It’s about positive change. It’s about transformation. It’s about actions, attitudes and team engagement. It’s about radically changing the way you interact with your team.
You have to be proactive not passive. You have to choose who you are going to be. You have to deliver on what you promise. Your team now demands more authentic interactions and communications. You have to make it personal and not take it personal. You have to know the needs, values and preferences of the people you want on your team.
We are on a mission to make sure you don’t miss out on your best team. We want to relieve your pain as a young leader. We want you to have more fun. We want you to have a team. We want you to have presence. We want you to connect. We want you to inspire your team to choose you.
