Re-brand and Business Impact

How fun is thinking longer term about where your business is headed, what you want to represent and how to bring that vision to life!

Or is that just me?

Carly Fisher Consulting has recently undergone a branding review and refresh with Emma Barrett Creative. Emma is based out here in the Central West and is supremely talented! It was such a delight working with Emma to bring my vision and ideas to life - professional, personal, connected to clients and boutique in nature. I think Emma has nailed it!

Check out Emma’s amazing work here

There are so many passionate, talented women (and men!) working so hard in the Central West, and the personal touch and connection was such a great addition for me.

Shout out if you want to hear more about this project or get in touch with Emma.

The leadership pinball.

You will find from time to time that I share the work of other brilliant minds - one of my all.time.go.to.favourite.leadership.bloggers (yes, that’s a formal term!) is Dan Rockwell from Leadership Freak - empowering leaders in under 500 words!

He kind of inspired me to keep these blogs to under 500 words - I don’t mind an inarticulate essay here and there so my goal is to remain as sharp and succinct as Dan! Enjoy.

Simple Choice Give Direction to Your Leadership.

Responding to unforeseen events is part of your day. But if all you do is bounce from one issue to the next:

1.       You’re a problem-solver. The better part of leadership is seizing opportunities

2.       You’re an answer-giver. The better part of leadership is developing people who find answers without you.

“The words you choose, form the direction of your leadership” ”

— The Leadership Freak - Dan Rockwell (2020)

Pinball leaders don’t know where they’re going. When you don’t know where you’re going, the path is disappointing. Urgencies replace priorities. Eventually, leadership is filled with trivialities.

A leader with direction rises above pinball leadership.

Simple choices:

Make simple choices that give direction to your leadership.

Give direction to your leadership by intentionally choosing words that reflect the priorities of your leadership.

Skillful leaders respect the power of words.

The right words at the right time become the difference between progress and frustration.

#1. Reject words that minimize people or challenges. For example, don’t say to a struggling manager

1.       It’s easy.

2.       It’s not that bad.

3.       Don’t worry. Telling a worried person not to worry intensifies frustration and gives the impression that you’re out of touch.

#2. Choose words that strengthen connection.

1.       I screwed up. (The Culture Code) Vulnerability enables high candor relationships

2.       I’m counting on you.

3.       You earned this opportunity because…. Instill confidence in people if you expect them to act boldly.

#3. Choose words to repeat.

1.       Thank you.

2.       Please.

3.       I appreciate (character trait) about you

#4. Choose last words intentionally

Last words express first priorities.

1.       What do you say at the end of meetings or one-on-ones?

2.       What do you say at the end of the day?

Making simple choices – even when pressured by urgencies – gives direction to your leadership.

How might leaders navigate the pinball challenge?

How does this resonate with you?
