Learning and Self Development

As part of our focus on the benefits of learning and self-development, we are featuring a new mentoring approach and a team learning tool in this week’s Leading Edge Insights! 

I am excited to share a new approach to our mentoring practice developed for women leaders like you to ignite your potential in ways that traditional coaching models have failed.  A series of practices that allows you to break through from your old stories and ignite your power- to be the leader you want to be in your life, work and in the world! 
I am thinking of you and wanting to create that growth container, as your leadership mentor, to allow you to create a new story to reach your full potential and realize those possibilities that you desire and yearn for in your life & leadership!

OBD Inc. is offering a special mentoring package as a lead-up to our Women’s Leadership Series starting September 17, 2024! Reach out to me for details on how to start your 7-week coaching series to ignite your leadership potential or to learn more about our Women’s Leadership Series!
If you are curious and want to learn more about this transformational approach and its impact on your life and work, contact me via email at nicole@organizationsbydesign.ca or book a discovery call at. https://calendly.com/organizationsbydesign_ca

I invite you to forward this to women colleagues, peers and friends who would be interested. 
A Learning Tool:  Team Selfie

Ever feel like your team is a well-oiled machine, but you’re not sure where it’s headed? Or maybe it sputters and stalls more than you’d like to admit.  The Semco Style Team Selfie is a powerful tool for self-reflection and growth.

Imagine a snapshot of your team’s inner workings. The Team Selfie uses a series of questions based on the Semco Style framework, diving into areas like shared goals, open communication, and accountability.  Each team member anonymously answers, revealing a collective picture of strengths and, yes, even weaknesses.

Here’s the beauty:  This “selfie” is about sparking honest conversations.  Are we truly aligned on what success looks like? Do everyone’s voices feel heard?  Is there a culture of mutual support where we learn and grow together?

Think of the possibilities:
A team that gels: When everyone feels valued and collaboration thrives.
Goals with teeth: Shared vision translates into clear, achievable objectives.
Transparency that builds trust: Open communication fosters a sense of psychological safety.
Empowerment unleashed: Taking ownership fosters a can-do spirit.
The Semco Style Team Selfie is a powerful starting point. It’s a chance to step back, look in the mirror, and see your team’s true potential reflected back at you.  Are you ready to take the first step? 

Our team at Organizations by Design Inc. is always seeking opportunities for self-awareness and growth.  We did the Semco Style Team Selfie and it sparked honest conversations.

What did we learn? We are truly aligned on what success looks like and have confirmed, through our exceptional scores, that our culture reflects that we are indeed a learning team! 

We invite you to contact: Eliza von Baeyer at eliza@elizavb.com to discuss doing a Semco Style Team Selfie with your team!
