Embracing Uncomfortable: Leading Through Uncertainty

Virtual event hosted by the Michigan Lean Consortium featuring Kris Liebau, owner of Action and Ease Leadership Coaching.

Do you often find yourself striving for better time management, only to end up feeling drained and overwhelmed?

The real issue might not be time, but rather managing energy levels and maintaining composure under pressure.

Leading a team through uncertainty can be one of the most challenging aspects of our roles. Lack of clarity can lead to second-guessing decisions and increased stress, impacting not just our performance but also that of our entire team.

Driving and inspiring action is a key component of leadership. How do you know when you are driving the right actions or connecting with those you intend to inspire to take those actions? In this lab, we will deep dive into key coaching elements of listening and asking to supercharge action.

Tired of drawing a line in the sand only to allow someone to step over it the next day leaving you feeling frustrated toward both yourself and the "offender"?

It’s a common scenario in the challenging role of leadership AND it's one that can be navigated more effectively.

When we are busy, we tend to let autopilot run in the background as way to relieve the burden on our brain. Issues arise and we say, “I know how this goes…” and we make a decision or take action without giving much thought as strong neural pathways are built.

In our workplaces we strive to optimize processes for efficiency and effectiveness. When was the last time you looked under the hood on your internal mental process? Examining our autopilot creates an opportunity to see where we have limited our creativity and collaboration opportunities for greater personal performance and leadership.

It is often in this space that coaching clients find the answers to habits and patterns they once thought their greatest strengths or the only way. Join us for a look under your hood and what it takes to create lasting change.

Mental fitness is akin to physical fitness. When you are physically fit, your body recovers more quickly and have a greater capacity to do things. Same with mental fitness. The more mentally fit you are the better you respond in stressful and challenging situations and more easily access your creativity.

Those who register will receive two free assessments to gain greater insight into their level of mental fitness and what personal patterns limit greater personal growth, happiness, and effectiveness.

When you take something “personally” you are accepting that you are in some way “at fault”. Regardless of your level of contribution to a given situation, when you experience guilt or shame, you’ve entered into a fixed mindset. The fixed mindset saps your energy, limits creative thinking, and can put you in a defensive state.

Shifting more quickly into a growth mindset creates the opportunity to engage the situation with fresh eyes, connect with curiosity, and put the situation back into perspective.

Various sources says you make 35,000 decisions a day!

I'm not saying that's good, bad, high, or low…

what I do know is that NOT making timely decisions and taking action is like CHOOSING to carry around a 100 POUND BACKPACK.

I'm an advocate of making informed, well thought out decisions over knee-jerk, autopilot reactive ones I also know all to well the impact (and weight) paralysis by analysis has from conversations with my clients and first hand.

It is mentally taxing making the other 34,999 decisions more difficult, not to mention actual $$ it could be costing you and the impact it has on moral and momentum.

Join in on the conversation in August’s free group coaching session as we investigate how we get stuck in this loop and how to take action.

Do you feel that if you have achieved something that anyone could have done it?

Do you feel like you are where you are today due to luck?

Do you blow off compliments thinking they are just saying it to be nice?

You may be experiencing what is called “imposter syndrome”. Harvard Business Review loosely defines it as “doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. Many question whether they’re deserving of accolades.”

If you can relate, join on the discussion with some other fellow “imposters” about how to recognize the story playing in your head and empower yourself to step in to your power.

Boundaries are a popular topic as of late. Strategically creating boundaries in alignment with your goals have a greater chance of getting you to where you want to go and being held as opposed to one that are lines drawn in the sand out of reactivity.

Join in on the discussion to explore the challenges we face in determining the appropriate boundaries and the reasons we have difficulty maintaining them.

Your inner critic is with you every day and attends every meeting and conversation at your side. Understanding the impact this has on your ability to think outside the box and remove road blocks is an essential leadership skill as you grow and encounter increasingly complex challenges.
