Most leaders try to stabilize organizations during change. The best leaders do something different. They create clarity in uncertainty, connection in fear, and action when others freeze. That is exactly what the L.E.T. framework — Logic, Emotion and Tactics — is about. Honored to see these ideas being applied in leadership programs at Duke Corporate Education and shared by Shaun Rozyn Because change is not just a strategic problem. It is a human one. #Leadership #ChangeManagement #LETitHappen

Are you (or someone you know) facing an ICF PCC credential performance evaluation? My team and I have been assessing ICF performance evaluations since 2012, guiding leaders and coaches toward ACC, PCC, and MCC certification. So we've seen all the biggest mistakes, and worked to find simple ways to help. One of the biggest hurdles is the big leap from ACC to PCC. After more than a decade of listening to recorded coaching sessions, I’ve seen 4 simple shifts that make a real difference in passing PCC and set you up for MCC. If you or someone you know is preparing for PCC evaluations, these quick tips can help deepen your coaching sessions, which is exactly what ICF markers look for. When I worked toward my MCC, I remember how tough it was. Many coaches today feel the same overwhelm. It’s not you, the path really is challenging but also a worthy pursuit. That’s why I’m here: to make the process clearer and more supportive, so you can grow into the kind of coach you want to be. 👏

The coaching industry has exploded in the last decade. This is both a good thing, and a bad thing, in my opinion. A good thing, because our world could certainly use more of a coaching-based approach. A bad thing, because the word "coaching" is often used very loosely —often without training, credentials, or (importantly) a foundation of what it means to uphold standards and ethics in this field. One thing I really like about this new coach training and certification program from Trio Coaching Academy is that it a) is based on ICF core competencies, and b) clearly states the models and frameworks that it is built on. The current pricing is a steal. For anyone considering a coach training/certification program, you may enjoy checking this one out, and/or connecting with Chelsea Seid or Dawn DeFrancesco, PhD, PCC to learn more.

Tercera Parte: This 3rd article in the series provides suggested approaches for learning organizations (in the Senge sense) related to potential “double loop”, unintended workforce consequences of charging headlong into AI. Boy, if you read the headlines it sure seems as if we’re charging headlong into the AI efficiency sweepstakes with seemingly little or no thought about future implications – such as hollowing out of the experienced US workforce. If there was ever a time to step back and consider concepts like those conveyed in Peter Senge’s The Fifth Discipline or the kaizen tool of the 5 why’s - it’s during sea change points in time such as these. As such, we’ve attempted to put some thoughts together for those interested in adopting AI in such a way as to leverage the best of AI and their workforce in the context of their business today and into the foreseeable future. #nontechies #tech #digitaltransformation #digitalnatives #artificialintelligence #AI #governance #technologygovernance #AIgovernance #boardoperations #4IR #FourthIndustrialRevolution #jobdesign #futureofwork #FOW #futureofjobs #HR #employeeengagement #employeeexperience #HRcommittee #BOD #boardofdirectors #ESOP #ownership Emily.ai Private Directors Association® Private Directors Association® - Colorado The National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO) #scifi #sciencefiction

ICF certification is a professional milestone—but for many coaches, the process still feels unclear. I’m looking forward to hosting an upcoming live Q&A with the ICF Georgia Charter Chapter community on a topic I see come up again and again: Demystifying the ICF Certification Process Over the years—as a PCC, mentor coach, and co-founder of an ICF-accredited training program—I’ve seen how much confusion exists around credential paths, applications, and renewal decisions. Most of it comes down to not having space to ask specific questions. This session is a true Q&A. No slides. No presentation. Just your questions. We’ll be discussing: -How to think through ACC vs. PCC & portfolio paths -Common misconceptions about ICF requirements -Mentor coaching, performance evaluations, and timing decisions -How to approach your application strategically If you’re pursuing a credential—or even considering it—I hope you’ll join us. March 11 | 2–3:00 PM | Virtual Register here: https://lnkd.in/eHCvwvA5 This session is open through ICF Georgia. If you’re not familiar with the chapter, they consistently create thoughtful programming for coaches at every stage of credentialing. If you can’t attend but certification is on your mind, feel free to DM me. I regularly support coaches 1:1 in thinking through credential pathways and application decisions.

We often talk about systems change as if it lives “out there” — in structures, policies, strategies, org charts. But systems don’t change unless people do. In my latest post in a series on organizational dev, I explore the essential bridge between individual development and organizational culture , and why you can’t have one without the other. If we want adaptive, resilient, regenerative organizations, we need individuals who can: - Reflect on their own assumptions and behaviors. - Build trust through authentic relationships. - Work across differences with curiosity rather than control. - Self-organize around shared purpose. We need to remember that culture can't be installed, it emerges. When enough individuals grow their capacity for awareness, collaboration, and shared accountability, the system begins to reorganize itself. That’s when sustainable transformation happens. I've put the link in the comments section. I'm curious how you might have created a bridge between individual/staff development to support organizational change? #leadershiptips #regenerativeleadership

This is exactly why I value this programme so much. So much facilitation training focuses on structure and agenda design. And yes, that matters. But what people really remember is how you show up. Your presence. Your judgement. Your ability to hold the room when things get uncomfortable or unclear. I went through the Firefly Certified Facilitator Programme in July and it sharpened the quality of my thinking and decision-making while leading teams in ways that still impact my work today. If you are a coach or facilitator looking to deepen your authority in the room and expand into more group and organisational work, this is a powerful next step. ✔ 30 ICF CCE credits ✔ Online, 2–5 March ✔ Second place currently 50% off Full details here: https://Inkd.in/dW7YA_hs Happy to answer questions if you’re curious.
