I wonder who they work for and who they are trying to influence.It amazes me how some people dress – do they think about what they are saying about themselves?
I can’t believe they look in a mirror before they leave for work.
Have they even showered?
Have they washed their hair?They certainly don’t look as if they have or even bother about what they ‘look’ like.
Don’t they know they are being ‘judged’ all the time?
Impressions are made in seconds and last – it’s very difficult to ‘undo’ or change a negative impression.
I wonder what difference it would make to their world if they bothered...?
Some people just can’t communicate effectively.Why are some people so negative about everything? Whatever you say they reply with an issue, problem, or negative statement.It is exhausting and demotivating.Why not think positively and why do people not say what they think?Why do they say everything else and hope you get the hint?
We are not mind readers.
We don’t know what you are thinking (unless you say it).
Why do we make assumptions from everything people say and have the ability to change the meaning?
Communication – be very aware of how you are communicating and the effect it is having.
We are born with total freedom to be ourselves – why does that have to change?
By the time we are teenagers our body language changes and we can ‘look’ very negative, unless we stay very aware of how we are using our bodies.
Every day I see people who are neck and head down almost laying in their chairs, frowning – it makes me feel concerned - tapping their pens, tapping their feet, stroking one leg continuously – what is going on inside them?
Why allow yourself to become like that?
Take a look at your body language and ask for feedback.
Nicola McHale (formerly Ross) has over 25 years experience as an Executive Coach to Global Organisations. Her depth of knowledge and integrity mean that she has strong relationships with senior leaders as they drive sensitive and dramatic change across their business.
As a successful coach, Nicola demonstrates flexibility, adaptability, the expertise to pace the
individual/organisation, the ability to call on a wealth of experience; plus a strong tool-kit of models and techniques that can be used to intervene when normal conversations become abnormal.
Nicola developed Vi’s ‘Inside out and Outside in’ approach which has enabled leaders to achieve outstanding Customers, Employee and Shareholder results rising year on year:
‘Our philosophy model means that, when working with an individual, team or organisation from deep on the inside - It then enables that depth of understanding to manifest itself on the outside too. The way the individual or company then behaves ensures transformational change, it will be change that lasts, change that is authentic and this will always lead to success. That is why Vi is different.’
Experience
Nicola has worked throughout the world with leaders as they move organisations and roles. They say that her knowledge and experience has been instrumental to their career progression and that is why 100% of Nicola's business is by referral. Her extensive experience delivering across Europe, Asia and the US have given her the ‘edge’ when working with 'Global Organisations' who need to drive sensitive transformation and be the best in the markets they operate in.
Nicola has an ability to work through abstract scenario building in the absence of concrete facts and decisions, to enable ‘the coachee’ to determine outcomes that would be mutually beneficial for both the individual and the organisation. Examples of this type of expertise are given when a company is considering new roles, there are changes to an organisational structure, there is a more dramatic career change, or indeed an organisation is changing completely.
