DM Coaching Group’s Post

Fellow HR Directors & VPs, who can relate? We’re officially halfway through 2024. How are you feeling about the professional goals you set in January? If you’re anything like peers I’ve spoken with recently, this might resonate with you. 🛣️You’ve come to a fork in the road.  You can continue on your journey of your nose to the grindstone, pounding out great work only to hear, “that’s great, but you’re just not there yet”.  🛣️You earn yet another certification and add more initials after your name. (I told you credentials alone are not going to get you to the next big opportunity.)  🛣️ You are multitasking, eating lunch at your desk listening to self-help podcasts, while your co-worker gets all the accolades.   🛣️Do you want to continue to sit in meetings with your tongue paralyzed just chomping at the bit to say something, instead crickets?! Then spend the rest of the day simmering and thinking would’ve, should’ve, could’ve, only to return the next day, resentful, hating your job, and blaming everyone but yourself.  There’s another path… and it’s RIGHT HERE. Check it out. 🎯You can put YOU first and take all that energy you are spending ruminating on what you know you DESERVE and put action into standing up and standing out.  🎯You decide that you’re done working endless hours and volunteering for “stretch” projects and instead get the recognition you have earned. 🎯You decide to gain awareness around how your behavior is impacting others in the room and altering their perception of you. Your emotions are in check so you come across as confident and in control.  🎯You handle difficult conversations with ease and intentionality so they can be meaningful and action-oriented versus emotional and heated. 🎯You move forward in gaining attention and visibility earning respect from both peers and direct reports so you are seen as a leader who offers powerful insights and is now in consideration for that promotion. 📣📣I hear you- it’s uncomfortable to dig deep, it’s time consuming, it’s putting yourself out there. Facing ALLLLL the fears. Sometimes misery feels better than risk. 🎯Except I suspect you’ve outgrown misery. I suspect that the pain of staying where you are just outweighs the pain of flinging yourself out of your comfort zone and breaking those self sabotaging behaviors. I’m pretty sure you’re ready to do the hard work and become the HR Director or VP  that stands out for all the right reasons. You’re ready for accountability, a safe space to vent, a place to role play tough conversations, and a place to get really vulnerable so you can go forward and kick the hell out of your next opportunity.  🎯🎯And if that’s the path for you… it’s just a click of a button to chat with me. Because I get it. No judgment - just let it all rip.  Click Link in comments   to book a discovery call. https://lnkd.in/gTc_zhTF

If you want to convince someone to change their thinking by calmly laying out your argument with evidence and logic, it won’t work. Here are a few steps you can take to try to get someone to see things from your point of view.

Having more and more conversations with #clients about #annualreviews and I am trying to equip them to be able to talk about themselves in energetic and engaging ways.

I'm thrilled to share my new Substack newsletter called Working from Within! It's about doing the inner work to engage in the outer world with confidence and clarity. Today's post is about how to navigate difficult conversations that tend to pop up during election season and the holidays. Here's a quick rundown: 1. Assess your goals for the relationship ➡️ Only you can determine what your goals are in your relationships, and knowing them will help you decide how much energy to invest in working through differences. 2. Tune in to your emotions ➡️ Notice and label your emotions and bodily sensations. If you notice your emotions are ramping up, consider what action would be most effective at the moment. 3. Try curiosity before criticism ➡️ By being curious, we test our assumptions about a person’s motivations which can facilitate mutual growth and understanding. 4. Know your limits ➡️ Mindfulness and self-awareness are the keys to knowing your limits because when we’re aware of our thoughts and feelings in the moment, we are less likely to say or do something that we will later regret. 👀 To check out the full post click below:
