Leaders’ Challenge #3 - Building Team Resilience Navigating the rocky terrains of leadership is similar to exploring the vast, layered areas of the Grand Canyon. Each layer is a testament to endurance and the slow, powerful force of resilience shaped over millennia. In leadership, this resilience is not just about enduring but evolving—much like the canyon itself, carved and crafted by the persistent flow of the river. In the world of management, building a resilient team is about harmonizing diverse strengths and vulnerabilities. It is about fostering a culture where setbacks are seen not just as obstacles but as integral parts of the journey to success. The real challenge lies in keeping the team united, especially when the path gets tough and the morale wavers. AikiManagement explains resilience is not a solo act but a collective pace. It is about moving with the adversities, adapting with grace, and aligning actions with a deep-rooted purpose. Like the river that shapes the canyon, leaders must guide their teams with a persistent, gentle strength that turns resistance into progress. In this grand view of the Grand Canyon, see the beauty of resilience: vast, enduring, and awe-inspiring. Let it remind us that though the journey is demanding and the path often unclear, with hope and unity, every day brings a new opportunity to advance, uplift, and victory. Let us draw from this natural resilience, building teams that not only withstand but thrive amidst challenges. https://lnkd.in/gJnG77ps #aikimanagement #leadership #aikido #management #aikidoshinjukai #personalgrowth #trust #focus #authenticity #salesexcellence #teamwork #FocusInLeadership #AikidoInBusiness #Discipline #Adaptability #LeadershipFocus #DigitalLeadership #Leaderspain #resilience (picture : USA, Arizona, The Grand Canyon)

What can skiing and leadership possibly have in common? I’ll tell you. I’ve been skiing since 2012, enjoying 1 week of ski almost every year since then. The thing is, across these 12 years, I took a maximum of 1 1/2 week of training. It’s not a lot. And every year, when we go skiing, I start the week full steam ahead. This year, this cost me a commotion. It’s because I did not take the time, to learn, to assess my condition, and to go for reasonable goals. It’s not dissimilar to what happens when you onboard a new leadership role. In your first 90 days, you can opt for: ❌ Going full speed, thinking “I know it all” and crash within a few months of being in the role. ✅ Have a good plan to onboard your new job and maximize your chances of success. Such a plan relies on a three-pronged approach: L.A.D. 1️⃣ Learn 2️⃣ Assess 3️⃣ Deliver I am going to break down each of these steps and give you the key actions you need to focus on to have a successful onboarding in your new leadership role, tomorrow, in my newsletter.

So what’s it going to be? Will you focus only on your areas that need improvement? Or, will accentuate your strengths so you can excel in every area of your life? If you want to keep swimming in the sea of sameness, then keep listening to the gurus. They’ll tell you the same stuff, over and over. Why not take a different approach? I’m not saying you’re perfect and have no room for growth. What I’m saying is, it’s important to look at your strengths and do the work to take them to the next level. There will be plenty of time to work on your areas of improvement. When I learned to lead with my strengths and work on my areas of improvement behind the scenes, I experienced an accelerated level of growth. Instead of dwelling on what you lack, celebrate what sets you apart. Your strengths are not just skills; they're superpowers that set your leadership journey on fire. Today, commit to nurturing and amplifying your strengths. Let them be the driving force that propels you towards success and fulfillment. Need help?

Ever felt like you were going to die, only to find out you could fly? 😱 For four years, I thought kitesurfing might be the end of me. Talk about getting out of your comfort zone! Today, I feel like I can start anything. Why? Because I learned to kitesurf. 🏄♀️🪁 Learning to kitesurf has taught me extreme resilience. There were moments I was terrified, unsure if I could hold on. But every challenge on the water made me stronger on land. First-time leaders, imagine applying this to your teams. When you embrace discomfort and push through, you build unshakable resilience. Think about the times you've felt out of control at work. How did you react? Did you retreat or rise? Here's a practical tip: Start small. Take on a task that scares you. Embrace it. Learn from it. You'll be amazed at how this bravery trickles down to your team. Kitesurfing taught me that falling isn't failing. It's learning. 🌟 And with each fall, I got better. So can you. 🔥 Lead with resilience, and your team will follow. What's your kitesurfing moment? -> Share it with me. _ _ _ _ _ _ If you're discovering me through this post, I'm Julie. I help first-time leaders bridge the gap between traditional leadership models and the expectations of their young talents in 1 to 3 months, and retain their Gen Z employees. ✨ My approach is based on discovering your own leadership style, connecting authentically with your team, and empowerment. I offer workshops, training sessions, and personalized coaching. More info in DMs. 🌱 #LeadershipDevelopment #FirstTimeLeader #Resilience #TeamBuilding #Growth

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱. We had to find another route... and I have to admit I did not like it. I knew the way to the hike that was planned. It took a few minutes to let go... and go the unexpected route. The result: - a longer trail - much more difficult than anticipated - much higher altitude change - more importantly: 𝗮 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄! Sometimes, letting go of the original plan opens doors to incredible experiences. I’m still learning to embrace this mindset. 😉 How does this resonate with you? In your role, have you ever meticulously planned something only to face unexpected changes? If so, what was the outcome of that shift? Was it easy for you to change the plan? Take care, Patrick ========== PS: if you don't know me, my is Patrick Champonnois.

Ever wondered what it takes to achieve Olympic-level success in business? Your career? Your organization? I often teach and remind leaders and managers about goals, strategy, and having a plan. This Friday is special—the Olympics Opening Ceremonies. One of my goals this year is to update my speaking reel to help agents and meeting planners get my message out to more audiences. There's something special about the Olympic metaphor, especially when framed within the experience I've gained over the past two decades as a business coach, executive coach, and trainer. Since the COVID disruption, my practice has been tight, focused on repeating clients and building organizational and leadership capacity. Now, I'm excited to make a push to get back onto the speaking circuit and deliver my high-value keynotes. Small actions, small wins, small failures—with the support of great teams and talent—really do add up. Stay tuned in the next couple of months as our new video content gets pieced together. In the meantime, enjoy this rough cut and get some energy! Let's embrace the Olympic spirit and go for gold! #Leadership #Goals #Olympics #KeynoteSpeaker #BusinessCoach #ValuesDrivenAchievement #Teamwork #ContinuousImprovement

✨ Mastery Mondays: Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail ✨ In the world of leadership, planning is not just a skill—it's a fundamental pillar for success. A prime example of this is Richard Williams, the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. His meticulous planning and unwavering vision were pivotal in catapulting his daughters to the pinnacle of the tennis world. His approach teaches us the incredible power of foresight and strategic planning. Inspired by his story, here are my three favorite strategies to start the week: 🕛 Time Blocking ▪ Start Monday morning by blocking out time on any empty 30-minute windows  ▪ Use those times to complete tasks and manage my energy ▪ Add important tasks to calendar invites to stay focused and reduce cognitive thinking 📜 The MIT (Most Important Tasks) Approach ▪ Identify three big rocks (key tasks) at the start of each week that must get done ▪ Repeat this process at the start of each day ▪ Ensure these tasks are completed despite any curveballs 🔎 The Weekly Review and Planning Session ▪ Spend 15 minutes a day reviewing accomplishments, what worked well, and what didn’t (sometimes during those 30 minute calendar holds) ▪ Identify any unfinished tasks or goals ▪ Outline upcoming key priorities and tasks Just like Richard Williams, a well-thought-out plan can set the stage for remarkable achievements. As leaders, our ability to plan effectively not only sets us up for success but also empowers our teams to reach their full potential. How do you plan your week to ensure success?
