None of us like for our physical state to be weak. It affects our sleep, energy, and focus. Likewise, if our mental state is weak, we interact with ourselves and others negatively.
This month we are exploring how our mental fitness affects our leadership and the benefits of spending a little time to increase our mental fortitude.

One of my favorite myths is that professional coaching is only for the wealthy or underperforming employees.
The truth is that employees from all levels in all specialties in all organizations and industries work with Professional Coaches. And they all have one thing in common — they all want to reach their fullest potential professionally and personally and have sought help. With their Coach, they set and commit to goals to improve their communication, build their relationships, and make the workplace the best it can be.
Leadership Coaching is for:
▶ Corporate Executives
▶ Organizational Leaders
▶ Managers
▶ Supervisors
▶ Team Leaders
▶ Team Members
▶ Individual Contributors
▶ And anyone who wants to take the initiative to grow professionally and personally, is committed to a more fulfilled life, and is willing to do the work needed to get there!

Are you having the necessary conversations?
Holding employees accountability doesn't have to always be a difficult conversation.
When a person naturally starts showing behaviors you want to see, you will often tell yourself “I don’t need to have this difficult conversation, they’re already addressing it on their own.”
Yet this is a perfect opportunity to take that difficult conversation and transform it into a motivating conversation.
Oftentimes, we let that golden opportunity slip through our fingers.
Instead take a few minutes to reinforce the behaviors you want to see by saying:
• “I notice these are amazing things that you are doing, and I want to see more of that.”
• “I’m glad that you came to this, you’re acting on your own and I want to see more of that. How can I best support you in this?”
• “I was noticing when you were faltering a little bit on these things, and you brought your awareness back without any help that I know of or any feedback from me. It’s awesome!”
Now you have a totally different conversation rather than the one where you sit down with someone and tell them what they’re doing wrong.
What might be different in your team dynamics if you were taking advantage of conversations like these?

The truth is that most people have struggled at some point with holding someone accountable and having those difficult conversations.
We feel uncomfortable with it. We worry we’ll hurt someone’s feelings or come across as too harsh…or not harsh enough.
Can you relate?
Here are 5 tips to help make those uncomfortable conversations more meaningful and effective.
1. Stay out of judgment. Stay in a state of curiosity. We have a tendency when we congratulate or thank someone for something, to still bring a lot of judgment in there. And we don’t give specifics.
2. Be very clear on how you’re giving feedback. If you just say, “You’re doing a good job,” it’s pretty judgmental and it’s not telling them what they did.
Here’s an example. Say something like:
“Hey, I’ve noticed recently that you’ve been handing in your projects on time or ahead of time. I really appreciate this. It is supporting me and the team by freeing time up for because we don't feel the need to follow up and worry about what’s going on with you or the project. Thank you.”
Be very specific. Talk about “here’s what you did specifically that has changed.” Notice there is no mention of their late projects.
3. Show gratitude. A person wants to hear gratitude for what they’re providing and how they’re supporting the team. That acknowledgment is big! Say thank you and keep it up!
4. Timing is everything (cliché as it sounds): Choose an appropriate time and place to be truthful with someone, especially if you’re saying something that could be upsetting. It can result in a more positive outcome for all involved.
5. Focus on facts, not popularity. At all costs, tell the truth. It doesn’t matter if it makes you unpopular. Be truthful so you can be respected and trusted as a leader.
How will you implement these tips to help you have meaningful conversations with your team?

“I love having difficult conversations!”
Said no one.
Ever.
The truth is that most people have struggled at some point with holding someone accountable, asking for what we need, and having those difficult conversations.
We feel uncomfortable with it.
We worry we’ll hurt someone’s feelings or come across as too harsh…or not harsh enough.
Can you relate?
Sometimes it's necessary to tell others how you feel. At the end of the day, you don't have control over how they’ll take it. If they recognize you're coming from an honest place, they'll accept and respect your candidness.
Always remember: Lead by example. It’s the best way to earn respect. It shows that you fully believe in what you profess. It allows others to see that you're genuine and trustworthy.
