Thinking worth keeping
Occasional articles from Michele. The four below were first published on the earlier Better Possibilities site and are preserved as published.
About these articles
What do these articles cover?
Short pieces on the parts of leadership that are hard in practice: difficult conversations, leading through change, holding a team together through a reorganization, and the habits that keep a leader steady. They come out of the work Michele does with CEOs, owners and senior leaders rather than from theory.
Who writes them?
Michele Smith, MHA, PCC, an ICF Professional Certified Coach based in Sacramento, who coaches executives and facilitates leadership teams.
Can I share one with my team?
Please do. Leaders often send an article round before a team meeting as a way of opening a conversation that is otherwise awkward to start.
Where do I start if something here hits home?
Book the free 20-minute discovery call. Michele will ask what is happening and tell you honestly whether coaching, consulting, facilitation or a workshop fits, and what it would involve.
Do you have anything longer than an article?
Yes. The Leadership Sound Bites podcast covers the same ground in short episodes, and the service pages explain how the one-to-one and team work actually runs.
