One of the things we've witnessed over the past 18 months is leaders being far more intentional about ‘checking in’ with their team, both work and wellbeing (which is FAB!)

Sometimes though, we ask very broad questions like 'how are you feeling?', 'how are things going?', or 'do you have any feedback for me?'. Because they are broad questions, we get vague responses.

It’s not enough to make sure everyone in the team is invited to meetings, inclusive and connected leaders, make sure everyone gets airtime too, that their voice is heard and their opinion matters (especially when working virtually).

So here we are again, lockdown number...who knows? I have lost count, and many of us are starting to lose our mojo too.

As a leader, it's imperative that you continue to focus on building trust with your team and scaling your leadership with intention. We gotta remain focused and dedicated to this quest. We owe that to our team.

Here’s the thing. I have been a corporate trainer and facilitator now for 20+ years (yes, yes, I know you are wondering how I was possibly doing that at the ripe old age of 12! LOL)

Fair to say, I was pretty happy and proud of the feedback I was getting as a trainer and facilitator! So when we moved to virtual training, whilst excited, I have to admit, I was also a little apprehensive. Surprisingly the experience was nothing but awesome!
