We have a compassion crisis in our world. Conflict, drama, and miscommunication wastes resources, hurts productivity, and undermines morale. Compassion is the solution. Compassion is the practice of demonstrating through our behavior that people are valuable, capable, and responsible. More than empathy, more than accountability, compassion is an approach to leadership and relationships that includes the heart, head, and hands. In this seminar you will learn about the cost of drama in the workplace, and how compassion can provide a way to engage differently for breakthrough results.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define drama and identify the costs of drama in the workplace.
2. Define compassion and identify the three compassion skills.
3. Use The Compassion Cycle to engage positively in the most difficult interpersonal situations.

A little like Nanny McPhee perhaps?

When you need her but don’t want her; she is there, when you want her but don’t need her; she’s gone. Taking a rather playful and fun approach to the coaching profession, David reveals the rebel inside and invites us all to follow him to the magical playground of the new era of HR.

There we can find some excitement with new friends and old, in a stimulating, safe (but not too safe) environment.

Nanny McPhee v Mary Poppins. Which one is our role model?

Generations divided?

Can we as coaches and thought leaders, demystify the needs and challenges of generations Z and Alpha? Should we try or is it time for them to coach us perhaps?

Who is supervising this metaphorical playground anyway? Why should we continue to play it safe? Are our traditional coaching models now out of date and as such should we lead the way to challenge our professional conventions?

Is it time to radically re-write the coaching rules of engagement?

‘Everyone needs a coach’; maybe, but can anyone be a coach? Seriously!

If we desire startling consequences to flow from our coaching, what special super-powers will we need to develop or adopt?

Charm; The power or quality of delighting attracting or fascinating others. What can we do to attract or allure clients? What dark (or light) arts are out there to help us?

David will take us on this mystery tour full of coaching delights.

Have fun!

Is life happening TO you? Or is it happening FOR you? These two questions are totally different. They define a life you would live. Your life is crafted around your song. The keynote session revolves around deepening your awareness to discover your default song and how it’s impacting your life.

How is it possible few of you are able to build life-long relationships and others struggle to find a place for themselves? How is it possible few are able to manifest a life they want, and others face challenges on a daily basis?

The 45 minutes talk will help you to identify your default song and how will it impact your life. Your behaviour is connected to your song. In your song, you can have fear or the essence of your being. Understand how the songs of fear, insecurity, inadequacy are different from the songs of hope, faith, love, purpose in leading your life. Once you are able to create that awareness, you will be able to make a necessary change for the future you deserve and desire. Awareness creates choices.

You have to see this awareness in your mind. Changing the song of your life is probably the most important change you can make. If you review the song of your life, the quality of your life will improve. The more important question is- Are you willing to look deep in order to discover your song? Let’s have fun and dance on our collective rhythms.

In order to be successful, the organisation needs different people: leaders that provide stability and continuity in work, the ones who successfully respond to challenges of turbulent environment and the ones who initiate the changes.

Did you hear about “the drummer syndrome”? That is a term that comes from rock music, but it can often be seen in business too. What is it actually about?

One rock band consists of different people. Usually the leadings are the singer and the guitar player or the singer and the keyboardist.

The drummer and the bassist are rarely in the first row, almost never. After a while it happens that the drummer leaves the band for some reason. In that kind of situations, you can often hear “So what? They will find someone else. He didn’t sing, didn’t write songs, wasn’t in the centre of attention”. And instead of finding the replacement, the band falls apart.

Drummers are often patient, unobtrusive people who don’t tend to be at the forefront; instead they have everything under control. By doing that, they unobtrusively dictate the band pace.

Who are the drummers of your team? Who dictates the pace, who follows it and who is trying to accelerate it?
