HARTHILL LDP
LDP Certified (Leadership Development Profile)
I am certified to use the Harthill Leadership Development Profile in my development coaching work. This well established map of adult development can support you in expanding the ways you make meaning about the world as a person and a leader. It also helps grow your capacity to lead effectively in the VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex & ambiguous) environment that we operate in today.
DEVELOPMENT COACHING
Working with a heart
One of the biggest developmental shifts we can make is to include our hearts in the work we do. Our hearts bring us closer to what we are passionate about and allow us to have compassion for ourselves and others. Critical capacities indeed for all 21st century leaders.
DEVELOP YOUR RESILIENCE
DEVELOP YOUR RESPONSE
Respond to others
One of the first things that disappears in the workplace is kindness. Many people only bring their heads to work and don't see how their actions create relational problems. When you are reconnected with your heart, your actions include compassion and your efforts will be far more productive.
Grow emotional capacity & be more choiceful
More Insights
Your emotions are an invisible source of information flowing through you all the time. When you are sensitive to your inner world, you will have a richer set of data to make sense of the world. This brings new insights and understandings to yourself, your projects, your colleagues and the impacts you are having around you.
Better Choices
When you utilise more of the information available to you, you will make more informed choices. Choices about your work, your career, the ways in which you engage with others. You’ll be more able to discern what’s right for you and your organisation. Growing emotional capacity is a primary superpower for modern leaders.
Greater Resilience
The more you see how your inner world impacts you, the more you will be able to ride the waves rather than drowning in them. Over time, you’ll learn that the waves never stop. Life and work will continue to challenge you. What you get to do is become more and more able to choose how you respond to the events and situations around you.
DEVELOPMENT CASE STUDY
“I felt lost and now I’ve rediscovered myself!”
J was a management consultant. Long hours, exciting travel and a variety of organisations to work with. His mind was in overdrive with tools and frameworks and analyses. Powerpoints designed to convince management to make huge impactful changes to their organisations.
But J felt lost. He acted in ways that felt different to the person he knew himself to be. He felt like he had to show up in a certain way in order to get on.
J started coaching and realised there were more choices available. He didn't have to be the clone he had turned into. He could show more of himself and be more authentic.
“Growing my emotional capacity has supported me in all walks of life. My wife is simply delighted!”
“The longest journey you will ever take is the 18 inches from your head to your heart.”
