Embrace Vulnerability to Break Behaviour Patterns

This episode again features Doris Henke, an HR Executive from Munich, as my guest. Our focus in this episode is on the leadership insight that embracing our vulnerability can help us break behaviour patterns that hinder our leadership and discourage others from following us. This insight is frequently expressed at Authentic Leadership retreats and draws inspiration from Brené Brown's work. We will delve into Doris' experience in business to understand what happens when leaders show up as vulnerable.

20 How to Ask Questions

Asking open questions is an essential element of Conscious Listening, especially in a virtual setting. Most often, we ask closed questions, which very often makes life even more difficult. Two of the challenges that we face, especially online, when asking questions are the following: Time pressure - online everything takes longer and we feel pressured to close down responses instead of fostering real curiosity and opening them up. Silence - People don’t answer immediately and were left hanging in what we perceive as an embarrassing silence. How do we deal with these and other challenges, to ask questions that really build conscious listening? In this episode, we cover the issues that we have come across in our experience and explore some suggestions to solve them

23 How to build Engagement part 3

Curiosity is the fuel for connection and engagement… In part 3 we continue our discussion on how we, as leaders of a virtual workshop or meeting, can have a constructive impact on engagement. To consciously build engagement, we need to actively foster curiosity in others as the fuel for connection and engagement. Firstly, this depends on how we show up as role models of the behaviour we expect our participants to have. How we walk our talk, as that is the behaviour that people will eventually emulate. Starting with listening and presence, if we lead or facilitate a meeting, we need to create and keep the space for people to be able to start and finish speaking their thoughts, as well as create the space for less talkative people to participate fully and contribute. Secondly, what specific questions we ask and especially how we ask, directly influences curiosity. We cover for example, specific questions that can be used to help achieve this. Crucial is that we as facilitators need to effectively role model all the behaviours we expect from participants! Following up on contributions with deepening questions also helps to foster and deepen curiosity. When discussions become intense or defensive it is even more challenging to maintain the right level of curiosity instead of resorting to attack and defence. Finally, we focus is on the biggest biggest challenges we face to building real engagement - dealing with the elephant in the room - which we all, too often, prefer to ignore. It is just as important, but much more difficult to address than in a physical room, due to the challenges of virtual communication.

02 Virtual Leadership Development: Interview Part 2

The Recipe to bake your own Learning Nuggets… In our second podcast interview, we continue our conversation with Doris Henke, Head of Talent Management at BSH. A while ago, we became aware of a Linkedin post by Doris, about her experience in implementing insights from listening to our podcast, in her daily work. We were curious and thought that maybe we could also learn something from her, and the idea of an interview was born. In Part 2 we hear from her how she goes about integrating insights into her daily work life. She has some very practical suggestions we believe can inspire anyone to develop their own form of this, according to their own needs. To hear more insights from Doris, click on the link.

11 Elements to own In the process - Part II

We continue in our 11th episode with part 2 of the elements we need to own in the process. Especially in a virtual context, where distractions are so tempting and easy for participants to drift off, providing a powerful hook and clear alignment with the purpose of the workshop or meeting has a direct positive impact on participants' motivation to engage with each other and the facilitator or leader and to stay engaged. The final element also facilitates reflection and engagement. The ritual of Check In & Check Out is essential to lay the foundation for interaction and engagement.

07 Task level Challenges: Multitasking & Fear of Technology

In this episode we explore how multitasking as a BEHAVIOUR distracts us from constructively participating when collaborating online and what influences that behaviour in ourselves. In an online workshop, we not only lose our connection to the learning process but also have a less than positive impact on others’ learning experience. We also talk about our fear of technology and our anxiety to use it. Which is mostly triggered by our own lack of familiarity with a tool, as well as not understanding the processes in using the technology well enough. Finally, we explore the challenges we face when we lack enough practice, which in turn nurtures our fear of technology.

The biweekly podcast explores insights gained from Authentic Leadership retreats. Each episode features a guest's perspectives on an insight from their work-life experiences to help you harness the power of Authentic Leadership in your daily life.
