The benefits of understanding how we and those we lead learn are great. Firstly, we become more patient and understanding. We become more effective communicators... We recognize who is ready for more responsibility... We mentor and guide more appropriately... We build on our own and others' creative thinking... 

Then together, we get to disrupt, innovate, strategize, plan, play, design, work... in ways we never thought possible. Simply because we've understood the 4 stages of learning. Listen in to this podcast as we explore these stages and how they matter.

It's so easy to forget that the people we lead do need our support in more ways than simply telling them what has to be done. They also need our acknowledgement of a job well done, being validated for who they are, the progress they're making, their behaviour and so much more. Yet, if we don't do this for ourselves, we're less likely to do so with others. And this is what we're exploring in this episode.

No doubt you'll have your own thoughts on this topic, so please share them in your review.

Today Alex and Yaja discuss the importance of modelling as a means of empowering leaders. Whenever there's a gap in a leaders ability to lead, for example in influencing their team, this can be developed by finding another leader who excels in that particular area and then, model them. The more aware a leader is of their gaps and is able to model others' strengths, the greater the opportunity for change, and in the end, both the leader and their people, are empowered.

As leaders, we need to manage our own emotions so that the people we lead can manage theirs. How can we do this? When we understand the difference between above and below the line thinking, and work on bringing our thinking above the line, we begin to see what's possible. 

It means we can then empathize when others are below the line and, in turn, help them bring their thinking above the line. This will influence their thinking and emotions will be less likely to impact on their actions. This saves time, keeps everyone calm and more able to find solutions and know what action to take next.

In this podcast we explore the what, why and how we can make this a practical reality.

Certainty is a need everyone has. It means something different to us all. Security, safety, comfort, clarity, the feeling of knowing what's next, or that a solution is possible. It's up to leaders to help those they lead be assured we can help them have that certainty, even if we might not feel it. They won't have certainty if they don't trust their leaders. In this episode we explore what it takes to create that trust and what we can do to give that certainty to our people.

In this episode we're exploring redefining what leadership means to us. How did we perceive leadership before, what leadership means to us now and what it is we expect in our leaders in future. We all want to progress toward our personal and professional successes together. And when our leaders are empowered, they empower other leaders.
