Insightful Leadership was the topic I presented at ALGWA’s* 59th Conference, held recently in Dubbo, and I was surrounded by insightful, inspiring leaders from across the state. (below is a picture with inspiring women from Dubbo, Sydney, Gilgandra and Tweed Heads at the dinner at Taronga Western Plains Zoo)
Many had come from flood affected areas and a few made the ‘hell or high water’ phrase real, finding unique ways of overcoming flood-waters to get to dry land to get to the conference!
I shared a few insights about the brain and how we can do our best thinking, raising awareness of thinking, awareness of what’s great and not great, reflecting, creating insights and nurturing those insights and turning them into strategic action and purposeful habits.
Of course my favourite question ‘What else?’ came out a few times. What else is possible? What else can you see as possible solutions? When you’re brainstorming ideas, don’t stop with the first few, thinking ‘that will do’ – stretch yourself and ask ‘what else?’ I also shared insights from David Rock’s SCARF Model, and gave away copies of my recently created Strategic Mindfulness Checklist – a simple self assessment to get you thinking about your thinking and communication. If you’d like a copy, fill in the “Let me keep you informed” box above, or click here and we’ll get it to you straight away!
To the left is a picture of the venue I posted on facebook, with the comment that “it’s an honour to speak from this stage” (the new Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre) – Lana’s comment below made my day, along with the amazing feedback I received from participants – and their invitations to speak in their towns. A few Insightful Leaders sought me out for coaching too, and have exciting days ahead as a result of the new thinking they’re doing already!
A few people were particularly interested in some comments I made about Leaders In Transition, so you’ll see that article I posted a few days ago.
Cheering You On,
