Τι κοινό έχει ο Φειδίας με τον Τραμπ & τον Μπόρις;
Πέραν των πολιτικών αναλύσεων γύρω απο το "φαινόμενο Φειδίας", με ενδιέφερε να απαντήσω την ερώτηση: Ποια ιδιοσυγκρασία έχει ο Φειδίας που του έδωσε την αυτοπεποίθηση να βάλει υποψηφιότητα και να κάνει μια επιτυχιμένη καμπάνια βασισμένη στο ότι είναι έξω από το χορό του κατεστημένου και όπως δήλωσε ο ίδιος : «δεν ξέρω πολλά από πολιτικά, ούτε από την Ευρώπη».
Οι Τέσσερις Βασικοί Τύποι Ανθρώπινης Συμπεριφοράς
Η ιδιοσυγκρασία είναι μια διαμόρφωση παρατηρήσιμων χαρακτηριστικών προσωπικότητας, όπως συνήθειες επικοινωνίας, πρότυπα δράσης και σύνολα χαρακτηριστικών στάσεων, αξιών και ταλέντων. Περιλαμβάνει επίσης τις προσωπικές ανάγκες, τα είδη των συνεισφορών που κάνουν τα άτομα στο χώρο εργασίας και τους ρόλους που διαδραματίζουν στην κοινωνία.
Why I almost quit coaching
Have you ever started something with passion and deep belief, only to feel disappointed and disillusioned further down the line? Perhaps, it was a job, a relationship, a big project that felt off after a while. Sometimes the solution is to leave it behind. Other times the solution is to reshape it into something you can believe in again.
Why positivity doesn’t work and what to do instead
When I started coaching, fifteen years ago, positive thinking was in full throttle. I cringe when I think about all the positivity clichés I used with clients, friends and family whenever they tried to share a negative thought, feeling or experience. “BUT don’t dwell on things, look at the bright side…” I would jump in trying to recruit them to the relentless focusing on positive thinking.
What is the difference between Personality and Temperament
Personality, character and temperament are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different aspects of an individual. Understanding the differences can provide valuable insights into human behaviour and development.
Are intentions preferable to goals?
While goals certainly have their time and place, the cultivation of intentions can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling approach to personal development. By integrating both into our lives, we can harness the motivational power of goals while cultivating a deeper, more meaningful connection to our actions through intentions.
How goals can trip us up
Goals play a crucial role in driving our motivation and providing a sense of direction in life. However, it's important to recognise that goals, if not approached thoughtfully, can sometimes trip us up. Here are a few ways in which goals can have unintended consequences:
Understanding the difference between goals & intentions
Setting goals and intentions are both important for personal growth and achievement, but they are distinct concepts that differ in their approach and mindset.
A practical and holistic tool for setting goals
There are a lot of statements that coaches use, which I don’t agree with. One of them is “if your goals don’t scare you, they are not big enough.” This line of thinking tries to convince us that we have to set huge goals and aim at massive achievements otherwise we shouldn’t even bother. But why should we put ourselves in a state of fear and panic? This is very “old school” approach and reminiscent of how a lot of us grew up at home and how we were educated at school: with threats and punishments.
Why Keirsey is the most utilised tool for Leadership Development
The Keirsey Temperament Sorter, based on the work of psychologist David Keirsey, is a widely utilised tool for leadership development at leading organisations around the world including Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies. This is due to its effectiveness in understanding and harnessing individual and team dynamics. In working with thousands of individuals, leaders and teams for more than seven decades, Keirsey has emerged as the leader in understanding people better than anybody else.
The most potent employee motivational tool
Motivation is a hot topic in the circles of business and executive coaching. Personally, it’s a topic I’ve been fascinated with since my MBA days 25 years ago, when the most phenomenal marketing professor at The George Washington University, Dr Sal Divita, introduced me to personality types.
Case study: Leadership Coaching
Many years ago in my coaching practice in London, I had a client who was the Financial Director of a multibillion international company. He came to me for leadership coaching. Specifically, he wanted to become a more high-handed leader; in other words stricter and more authoritarian. “I want to be be like x” he said, referring to another director in his company.
