Third Factor

What leads people to take action - What they analyze and think? Or what they see and feel? Imagery creates the bridge between thinking and action. Make it an ally in your resilience and performance. #imagery #motivation #resilience

A thermometer takes on the temperature in the room. You, on the other hand, set your own thermostat to the desired temperature. When you manage your energy, you'll be better able to manage the task in front of you. #energymanagement #performance #resilience

Your body doesn't speak English or French or Chinese. Everything has to become an image before your body can process it. And those images make everything possible. Whateve you want to achieve, the very first step is to imagine it. #imagery #resilience #buildingresilience

It is much easier to be pulled by the power of a clear and compelling mental image of the future than to be pushed and prodded by the day-to-day reality. #vision #prioritization #motivation #resilience

It's unrealistic to strive for an ongoing state of bliss. Rather, resilience is found when you look up every once in a while to make sure you're heading in the right direction. #purpose #resilience

Imagery has tremendous power over how you perform and how you deal with pressure because, to your body, what you imagine is real. Pay attention to the movies in your head. What you "see" is what you're most likely to get. #imagery #resilience #buildingresilience

The research is clear: the most productive people take breaks every 90-120 minutes. To get the most out of your break, plan an activity that will benefit you physically, emotionally, intellectually or spiritually. #breaks #energymanagement #resilience

When you tell your people what to do, they might listen. But when you ask questions, they start to think. Which do you think is more developmental?

When people are blocked, your job as a #coach is to uncover what’s blocking them and help them work through it. Most often, that's asking: Does the person have clarity on what's expected, the skills to move forward, and an understanding of why it matters?

The next time you’re giving instructions, check their understanding by asking clarifying questions. Ask: 📃 What is your next step? 👓 What would that look like? 🏆 How will you know when you’ve succeeded? #communication #leadership

The next time you want to recognize your people, give them the opportunity to influence their work environment: 💡 Ask for their input or ideas 💁🏾‍♂‍ Ask for their help with a project 📞Invite them to participate in a higher level meeting #coaching

By default, the signals that tell us we're too activated, or too flat, are gated out by our conscious mind. Until we consciously check the thermometer - we often don't know what the temperature is. #energymanagement #performance #resilience

When someone tells you they can’t do something, simply add the word “yet.” “I can’t figure out this tool" "… yet.” “I don’t know where to find the answer" "… yet.” Shifting people from a fixed to a growth mindset sometimes only takes a single word. #Coaching

The job of a coach is to ensure they – and their people – have clarity on what constitutes a good performance. When leaders are clear about expectations, energy and commitment levels rise dramatically. #leadership
