Amazing what you can learn about building a foundation of resilience from tea bags, paper clips, Lego, a ball and set of ingredients and recipes: strength, connectedness, resourcefulness, bouncing back and adaptability.... of course!

I love this activity. We create an environment for the participants with one simple objective:"put your feet in a circle". We change the environment over time by reducing resources but the participants still have to complete the same objective until such time there are no obvious resources left to feasibly do it. No two teams have completed this exercise the same way but they still have the same takeaways when making the transition from individual contributor to Manager: we need to collaborate with colleagues and ask for help, we need to think creatively BEFORE the need arises, we need to voice our ideas for change with confidence and conviction, and we need to step back and see the bigger picture. And as demonstrated by these two separate teams in Thailand, we need to kick off our shoes and have a group hug!

A really interesting evening with Rod Drury (on the right), Founder and CEO of Xero, a Company that has seen amazing success in little over 10 years. They have just cracked the 1 million customer mark! What I loved hearing during his talk and afterwards as we chatted was how important people are to Xero and that everyone has a succession plan. A great initiative to ensure talent keeps moving. Very inspiring.

Discover your executive presence

I was asked a great question yesterday: "Who have you met that has earned the right to be followed?" It really made me stop and think and I am still pondering it today. Quite often the question is more, "Who has the right to lead?" And honestly, we all have the right to lead, but will anyone follow? If no one follows, are we leading? It reminds me of the learning we see participants gain through our 'Walk the Talk' programme: you need to prove yourself, you need to remain calm under pressure, you need to be clear in your intention and you need to have a strong sense of purpose. Then the horse will follow. A horse will be your toughest audience and critic, if you can master that you have earned the right to be followed. So, I pose the question to you: "Have you earned the right to be followed?" https://youtu.be/zJlAYbfZMpM Andrew Froggatt

A great alternative exercise to paper/scissors/rock that helps individuals understand the importance of knowing the style of others: rabbit/ hunter / wall. In the game, if we knew one team would do wall, we would do rabbit so we could jump over. Similarly, if we know the style of someone for example if they are a D (dominant) we know how to flex our style to best communicate with them.

We don’t always know when the spotlight will be turned on us; when we will be asked to deliver something to an important stakeholder, a client, an audience of 100+.
What we do know is that we’ll be dreading it, we’ll doubt if we can do it, we’ll have sleepless nights just thinking about it.
It doesn’t have to be that way though. Be ready and excited about this moment to shine by discovering and developing your own Executive Presence. http://ow.ly/MrGD30c8IWK
