If I think long and hard enough about this I will probably get a really helpful insight into some of the learning I’m doing on team coaching at the moment. And possibly about myself… #TeamCoaching #coaching

Listening, really listening, means being prepared to see and hear things based on other's experiences, from other perspectives, that may challenge our preconceptions, maybe even disturb our sense of identity. That's what can make it feel so uncomfortable. And so very important.

This piece caught my eye - and my heart - as my work often takes me into the terrain of ‘purpose’. An exploration of ‘purpose anxiety’: “fixated on the future and what our impact should be, at the cost of being present in this very moment.” #leadership #coaching open.substack.com/pub/sineadco...

Ireland has lost one of its greatest voices in the passing of the poet Michael Longley. This beautiful handwritten copy of his poem, Ceasefire, hung on the walls of Mediation NI when I was a board member, offering a powerful focus for the work of peace building and reconciliation.

First bud of a new year spotted as I let the old year out of the house and invite the new in.

I love discovering the ways words are used in different languages. Next time I settle myself to “attention” in a #coaching session, I’ll have a wider pool of verb-lenses to draw on, delightfully!

Why #Trust, #Listening and Challenging #Assumptions will help you deliver a plan on time and on budget, unlike 99% of all projects. Love the process Bilbao Guggenheim Museum Architect Frank Gehry follows from an idea to a finished building😊 hbr.org/2023/01/how-... #SharedPower #TimeToThink

“Answers do not matter so much as questions, said the Good Fairy. A good question is very hard to answer. The better the question the harder the answer. There is no answer at all to a very good question.” ― Flann O'Brien, At Swim-Two-Birds
