I’m David Veech and this is Elevate your performance.
After taking June off from making videos, I figure it’s time to get back at it, especially since it was one year ago today that I made the first of these. I managed to run a pretty good streak then. When I broke the streak, I broke that momentum. As with everything else, if you’re running a streak and something breaks that momentum, it’s very tough to get back to it, so the videos got more and more sporadic.
Because of that, I’m hesitant to commit to getting back on this horse, but I do need to make some more and spread some more joy and knowledge. Let me share some plans with you that I’ve been working on and thinking about.
I did a short workshop on Fearless Teams for the NK Institute for Human Advancement. It was a blast and got great feedback. In my consulting engagements, building effective teams is a major focus area. We all need teams to WORK. I’m also building a couple of additional workshops we will offer in the future.
Fearless teams lead to fearless culture. Any change you’re trying to make in your workplace, whether it’s new software, or something from the Lean Six Sigma toolbox, if you don’t address the culture change needed, that initiative will fall short of your goals. I help companies bridge that gap. While your lean consulting group is doing their thing, or your software implementation team is doing theirs, I work in the space between the technical change and the people to bring about a culture change. That’s the sweet spot for my coaching work.
3 other big things I’m planning to launch in the next several weeks:
First, I want to offer a mastermind study group through the NK Institute that will focus on High Speed Problem Solving. This will be an ongoing membership-based group that will take lots of deep dives into techniques and skills for problem solving. We’re still working the details, but I want to meet virtually every couple of weeks and face-to-face about once a quarter with one of the participants hosting at their workplace. While we’re there, we’ll do some specific work on their specific problem.
Second, I’ve had this nagging idea about a new leadership study group where the focus is on balance. I’ll be writing some more on this idea in the future, but this group will be developing more effective leadership behaviors to drive change, build wisdom, and work in cycles where we define a challenge, work to meet that challenge, then set a new one in an upward spiral elevating performance for everyone.
The third is a podcast. I’ve been wrestling with this one because producing a podcast is a lot of work, and marketing it to get any followers is real heavy lifting. But I think I can do this and tie it to the leadership study group. I want to talk to leaders about balance, about learning, and about problem solving. Be watching for more information about this. I’ll need at least 10 episode in the can before I can launch, so I guess I need to start on that very soon.
I guess I’d better get to work, huh? Thanks for listening. Subscribe to get updates and let me know if you’re interested in participating in any of those three projects. And if you need help developing teams and problem solving skills for your employees, reach out. I’d love to work with you.
Have a great day and I’ll see you tomorrow.
