Coaching Leaders

What would happen if managers would stop treating their teams as employees, and instead started treating others and themselves as human beings?

Mark LeBusque asked himself this question years ago, drew a plan and executed it. The results? As Mark told me: "Raf, magic happened". Results went through the roof, and I am not surprised at all.

Today Mark is on the mission of helping teams bringing the best human version of themselves to work.

Mark wrote two books: "Being Human" and "The Little Book Of Human", set up his consultancy business, launched a podcast "The Simply Practically Human" and speaks in stages across the globe.

Tune in to see how can you, in a very practical way, be the best human version of yourself at work.

Most people believe that they are self-aware, and yet only 10-15% of us actually are. 

A few years ago I was in that overconfident and none-aware 85% until I read "Insight" and my journey towards self-awareness begun. Am I in the top 15%? I am certainly closer than I was 5 years ago, and I believe that we all would benefit from developing this skill. Tasha Eurich took it to the next level and wrote a phenomenal book that helped thousands of people across the world become more self-aware.

Dr. Tasha Eurich is an organizational psychologist, executive coach, researcher, and New York Times, best-selling author.

When we think about "bad managers" that we worked for, we rarely think about his or her level of technical skills. It's more about how they made us feel. More often than not, what people truly need from managers is to show up authentically, be empathetic and assertive. They need emotionally intelligent leaders.

Where do we start the journey of building emotionally intelligent teams? Where can you start as a manager?

In this episode, Teresa breaks the journey down for us and map the road that each manager should take in order to build successful teams, but more importantly: to look after our own and others emotional well-being.

Teresa Quinlan is an executive coach, public speaker and co-host of TNT ESQ podcast. As an EQ coach, she helps organisations build emotionally intelligent teams, and she does it with a great dose of positive energy and humour.
