Mentoring the New Focus For Maree's Work
In spite of significant amounts of money being spent on leadership development,
leaders are experiencing great gaps in their ability to lead in this
challenging and complex new environment.
Maree believes one reason for this is that many leadership development programs
primarily focus on what leaders need to DO.
You may well come away motivated and inspired, only to discover it dissipates
quickly when you can't adapt that learning to your actual work challenges
and initiate the changes and transformations you desire.
Maree believes there needs to be more focus on Self-Leadership skills
that take leaders from what they need to DO, to who they need to BE.
Self-leadership skills are the missing piece to empowered leadership today.
After 17 years facilitating workshops, masterclasses, team retreats, mentoring and coaching,
Maree has re-evaluated her work post COVID. While not abandoning her commitment to
leadership development, she is discontinuing most of her leadership development work
to more sharply focus it on where she believes it can have most impact - in mentoring.
Mentoring can often take leaders from where they are when they come into a session,
to where they want to be when they leave.
They can return to their workplace and effect immediate change and create outcomes.
The Self-Leadership Skills, on which Maree's work is focused enhances
not only their professional lives, but their personal lives as well.
