Here's an episode we recently recorded in Dubai where we reflect on our recent experiences delivering leadership development programmes and 1:2:1 coaching.
Our discussion is sparked by a thought-provoking question from one of our clients regarding the transformative power of coaching sessions compared to self-reflection.
We explore the significance of human connection in leadership, emphasising the necessity for leaders to create a space of collaboration and open dialogue. By listening and prioritising time with their teams, leaders can break down barriers that often hinder genuine connection. We discuss the common pitfalls of busyness and the importance of being present, as well as how this presence can foster trust and psychological safety within teams.
We also emphasise the importance of slowing down, reflecting, and creating space for personal growth. We encourage leaders to embrace the journey of transformation, not only for themselves but for those they lead, recognising that everyone has the capacity for change. This episode serves as a reminder that impactful leadership is rooted in connection, collaboration, and a willingness to listen and learn.
