Very often people HIJACK your time and ask you for just 5 minutes to talk about something important. Often times, nothing concrete comes out of such conversations, they’re just another way to re-hash an old issue, and there’s no clear resolution, or action or accountability.   

AND, it never takes ‘JUST 5 minutes’. Multiply this scenario across the day, and you’ve lost at least half of your productive time in non-productive conversations.

So, the objective of our episode today is how to dramatically increase the effectiveness of your meeting time by just using a few of these questions, at each phase of the conversation

Kalyan Chakrabarti is the President & CFO of Piramal Realty, Mumbai. He started the first week of the lockdown, like so many of us twiddling thumbs and bingeing on Netflix. But something amazing happened and he - along with a team of awesome likeminded folks - got together and organised and distributed 325000 meals in the last 18 days in Mumbai!! 

Let's learn and be inspired from his story of how they're doing it... and take part!!

Today, let’s talk about how we can be much, much better at receiving feedback. Now as leaders we receive feedback from our own bosses, and bosses who are one level above our own boss, from our own directs, peers and other relevant stakeholders.

Feedback, as we discussed last time, is an opportunity for learning and growth and should be done with the motivation and heart intent to help the other person make positive changes in the way she or he thinks, feels and behaves.

BUT, in terms of receiving feedback, most of us have a natural resistance to it, an inherent fear of it ….because in our psyche, feedback is associated with what we received from our parents in childhood.

This episode has valuable input on how we can learn to receive feedback in a way that supports our own learning and growth...

Most leaders struggle with feedback. Both giving it and receiving it. And, the funny thing is it that it does not get easier even as they go up the ranks.

As executive coaches we have a privileged view of the process as many, many times we are in conversation with both the giver and receiver of the feedback, and so we have a line of sight into what both are experiencing.

So, in our conversation today, let’s talk about some aspects of giving feedback, and the challenges that we see leaders grappling with around this issue.

Our objective today is for you to think about what you might be doing that needs to be improved …and to take some baby steps to make positive changes in the way you GIVE Feedback..

Reflection ….  is a way of learning from the events within our own lives.   You see, unless we learn from what happens in our life through the process of reflection, we’re just repeating the year one of our work experience into 15 or 20 or whatever.    It’s only if each day, month, year is filled with gaining new insights and understanding, then only, the number of years of experience have value. Else, it’s just a number. 

So, Reflection or Critical reflection (I’m using the terms synonymously today) allows You - the leader and your executive coach - to learn together through a conversation….

Real examples from our practice are shared in this episode to show you how this actually works… This is a must listen for any manager or senior leader!!

One of the most satisfying aspects of being a coach is the opportunity to contribute in the success of our client’s achieving the goals that they set for themselves; It is certainly a privilege to be part of their life and journey.

And when I use the term coaches I include executive coaches, life coaches, and leaders or managers as internal coaches.

Now, just imagine that we’ve helped one client through his or her difficult phase, and then another client, and as a coach we do this day after day, month after month, year after year.

In addition to this, we also have to manage the reality of our own life with its ups and downs. As humans we too struggle with managing family, schedules, difficult relationships, stressful life situations…You get the picture?

Not only are we dealing with our own life and its associated challenges, but we’re continually receiving the negative energy from our clients.

We are setting ourselves up for compassion fatigue.

So what is compassion fatigue?  And, how can it impact you as a Coach or a Leader?  And, what do you need to do about it??    This episode is critical for your success as a COACH and as a LEADER…
