CIPD London: Have your cake … Eat your car!
We had lots of fun at the CIPD Learning & Development Show in London explaining why we had a fabulous bright yellow racing car cake on our stand.
In the business world, Sir John Whitmore (shown here with his ‘car-cake’ at our CIPD stand) is best known for the GROW Model, his work on leadership development and book Coaching for Performance which is now the No. 1 Best Seller on Amazon.co.uk in three categories: Management; Business team management skills; and Business coaching & mentoring skills.
In the world of sports, Sir John is a racing legend. In fact it’s not so long ago that Olympia London hosted an entirely different event at which a 1965 Ford Lotus Cortina driven by Formula 1 World Champion Jim Clark and Sir John sold at auction. And early in his racing career, Sir John achieved his dream of racing at Le Mans, competing in a Ford GT40 with Innes Ireland.
A slice of chocolate cake disguised as the bright yellow McLaren M8F Sir John drove to victory in his 1990 racing comeback is not all that people wanted from us at the CIPD show. Companies also were keen to find out how Performance Consultants could work with them on leadership development, performance improvement and organizational transformation, based on our 30 years of experience working with individuals and companies around the world.
Management coaching tip: Developing a coaching mindset
When you go to work tomorrow, try incorporating the three fundamentals of a coaching mindset:
- Look for potential, not problems
- Acknowledge progress and success
- Don’t criticize or blame
Write down at the end of the day what you learned and what the impact was. Keep this up for 40 days, and you will have started to develop a new coaching management style.
