Soar to Success January 2016

Joan Washburn coaches busy professionals to reclaim a sense of order and

balance in their life—to essentially bring “calm to chaos” if you will.

When we are overwhelmingly busy, more often than not, our priorities fall

victim to circumstance. Her ultimate goal as a coach is for her clients to

break free of what is not working for them, discover what they really want

for their lives, then support them as they make it happen!

Watch Joan’s video series

by being told what they are

doing right than by being told

what they are doing wrong, and

nearly 80 percent looked for this

recognition to be given close to

the time of the activity. Another

study by author [and employee-

recognition expert] Bob Nelson

showed very similar results and

is best summarized by this quote:

“You get what you reward.”

Like any leadership skill, you

must use it often to become

proficient.

Look

for

opportunity to acknowledge

at least one person each day.

Notice not just the action,

but what you see to be true

about that person – they are

courageous,

empowering,

supportive, flexible, focused,

creative, etc. Observe the

response you get from the

person. Ultimately it will result

in your excelling at the most

valuable leadership skill of all –

bringing out the best in others.

The second method the trainer

uses? TREATS! We’ll save that

for another day.
