Welcome to the May 2012 issue of the newsletterWe’re feeling like good sports and in somewhat of a celebratory mood, what with the recent bout of sunshine here in the UK and the international sporting event taking place so we’ve launched a special 15% discount offer on digital subscriptions. We know many of you still appreciate receiving a hard copy of the magazine and enjoy our quality paper and illustrations, but for some of you, particularly if you’re based overseas, the digital sub can make sense. So here goes: here’s the code for the 15% discount. CADSUM2012. Please feel free to share with colleagues and friends! Talking of sport, in the next issue we interview former Olympic gold medallist turned coach, Adrian Moorhouse, who is by no means merely basking in the legacy of his previous successes. Our campaign, Coaching for Health, is still forging ahead, with regular editorial coverage relating to this theme. In this issue of the newsletter (and in May issue of the magazine), for example, we have a piece on resilience (see Highlights) and a piece on coaching for wellbeing. In the July issue of the magazine, Stephen Palmer writes on using Motivational Interviewing as part of his in-depth health coaching toolkit series. And the theme for our conference is Embracing & Enabling change: resilience, creativity & wellbeing in challenging times. The conference is now sold out, weeks before the event, just like our last one. The conference sponsors this year are: Gold: Insala; Silver: Centre for Coaching; The CoachOnline, EMCC, ICF; i-coach academy; Kogan Page; McGraw Hill/Open University Press, The Results Coaching System, Synergia and Bronze: the Association for Coaching and Challenging Coaching. Here’s the conference programme. We will include a conference report in the September issue. Subscribers can choose to either subscribe to the digital magazine, or printed magazine (which includes access to the digital magazine). Subscription includes six issues a year; 16 newsletters (including four mentoring digests); inclusion in our global Coach List; additional online content; access to every issue since 2005, a global LinkedIn group with nearly 9,000 members, and discounts on our events. See a sample issue here. Liz Hall, Editor, Coaching at Work, Winner of the Association for Coaching Award for Impacting (Leadership/External Focus) Service to the Wider Community for 2010–11

Stop PressFear holding leaders back on sustainabilityLeaders are being held back from driving the sustainability agenda through fear of being out of control, isolation and being left behind, say coaches I interviewed for The Guardian Sustainable Business hub: http://bit.ly/ML0R2q Women take up just one in ten boardroom posts Over the last year, only one in ten executive boardroom appointments have been taken up by women, according to a report by Deloitte. The report warned that although businesses are starting to increase the number of females on their boards, most are appointed to non-executive positions as opposed to more important executive roles. The greatest coaching outcome research ever!Ashridge Centre for Coaching and partners are coordinating an ambitious research project on outcomes and have already received more than 1,000 returned client questionnaires and a great many from coaches and sponsors too. So already this research has the largest sample in the whole literature on organisational consulting and executive coaching. More on the research in the next issue of Coaching at Work. If you haven’t done so already, invite your clients to join the research www.ashridge.org.uk/client Student supportA firm offering specialist coaching to potential university students and military college recruits launched this month (May) in the UK. Pulsus aims to offer help in interview preparation, confidence building and ongoing career guidance and mentoring. Pulsus offers courses in Devon and is looking to offer courses in London too. Businesses not investing enough in middle managersEmployers are failing to invest enough in middle managers and their development, a global survey of 1000 companies by Harvard Business Publishing suggests. Some 46% of respondents admit to poor investment in the next generation of leaders. Since the recession, leadership investment in middle managers has dropped by 20%. Gen Y demands better performance managementThe younger generation expects more from their managers, said Peter Cheese, chairman of the Institute of Leadership & Management. Speaking at a 3C Associates round table called 21st Century Performance Management, Cheese said change is coming from the bottom up and Generation Y employees want to be recognised early on in their careers, and given guidance on how to improve. Unemployed people more likely to be depressedUnemployed people are more likely to be depressed than similar individuals in employment, says Professor David Fryer, chartered psychologist, writing in an article in The Atlantic, according to the British Psychological Society’s website. Emotional intelligence and deceptionIndividuals who rate themselves as having high levels of emotional intelligence tend to overestimate their ability to detect deception in others, according to a paper in Legal and Criminological Psychology by researchers from the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological Science and Law at University of British Columbia, Canada. |
