How to Know If You'll Achieve Your Goals
Will you achieve your goals within a year?

Will I Lose My Team's Respect by Not Having the Answers?
What is a common fear of leaders in humanitarian and international development when it comes to coaching their teams?
The fear of losing respect.
Losing respect because their team sees them as needing to have all the answers.
So if they start asking their teams what they think, then the team will question their authority.
I understand the reasoning behind this concern, especially in certain cultures where leadership is more directive.
But how true is it?
And is it really true we need to provide our teams with answers all the time?
Slowing Down to Save Time
When I was a leader in the international development and the humanitarian sector, I had many reasons to rush.

Something that will have a much greater impact on your time management.
It has to do with the way you THINK about your time.
After coaching hundreds of humanitarian and development supervisors, I have found there are common ways of thinking which prevent them from taking control of their time and making the impact they want.
