?? Is your reaction time helping or hurting your leadership? Many leaders and executive teams jump straight to action in high-stakes and pivotal moments. But our work reveals a counterintuitive truth: ??The most crucial moment isn't your first ACTION. ??It's your first PAUSE. Here's what we've observed after thousands of hours of high-stakes coaching: ? Rushed decisions = 4x more likely to backfire* ? 5 minutes of strategic pause > 50 minutes of reactive action** ? Teams mirror their leader's internal state ?How are you balancing helping your leadership team move quickly but intentionally? *Rushed business decisions significantly increase the likelihood of failure. A study by Professor Paul Nutt of Ohio State University found that failure is four times more likely when decision-makers adopt the first idea they encounter without thorough investigation. **99% of teams in a simple simulation we conduct fail to take a strategic pause and instead jump to action. #LifeGivingLeadership #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment

?? The Hidden Cost of Leadership Under Pressure In high-stakes moments: *85% of business executives experienced "decision distress," characterized by regret, guilt, or second-guessing decisions made in the past year. Overwhelmingly, C-suite regrets fell into four categories. They... (1) wished that had moved faster and more boldly, (2) regretted not spending more time building better teams, (3) missed opportunities to foster deeper relationships, and (4) had guilt about not being truer to themselves in making decisions. Which of these 4 regrets is your greatest risk right now, given what is occurring in our world? Of course, no leader sets out to make these mistakes. But pressure changes how our brain operates: Your Prefrontal Cortex (strategic thinking) gets hijacked by your Amygdala (survival mode), often resulting in: ? Reactive decisions ? Damaged relationships ? Missed opportunities But here's what's fascinating: The most effective leaders aren't the ones who never feel pressure - they're the ones who've mastered their internal response to it. This is exactly what working with one of our top executive coaches can do for you. Don't go it alone. Let's build your leadership-under-pressure skills and get you a trusted thought partner for the most pivotal moments. *https://lnkd.in/dDyb8Nbj #ExecutiveLeadership #HighStakesCoaching #LeadershipDevelopment

Fascinating discussion with LOTS of opinions. What do you think? ???What role does ICF coach certification play? ???What does an ICF credential mean to clients choosing a coach? ???What does it mean to coaches who pursue it?

?? Before You Hire a Coach, Ask These Two Power Questions: 1?? "What's the most you've ever invested in hiring your own coach?" I personally hired a coach for $75,000 a few years back during a critical transition because I believed in the ROI. 2?? "When was the last time you were coached?" (Yesterday for me!) Why do these questions matter? Simple. Great coaches invest in their own growth. They walk the talk. The best coaches aren't just coaching and teaching others - they're actively learning and growing themselves. They understand the client experience because they live it. Would you trust a fitness trainer who never works out? Or a financial advisor who doesn't invest? Of course not! Then why trust a coach who doesn't believe in coaching enough to invest in themselves? ?? Pro tip: Look for coaches who are committed to their own development. It's a clear sign they believe in what they're selling. What other questions do you ask when choosing a coach?

High-stakes moments don't create leaders - they reveal them. We've discovered a pattern among executives who consistently succeed in pivotal situations: They master the internal before tackling the external. This isn't just philosophy - it's a practical approach we've refined in our work with many teams: ? Crisis interventions that start with leader clarity ? Team effectiveness that flows from authentic presence ? Strategic decisions anchored in internal alignment Because true victory isn't just about what you achieve - it's about who you become in the process.
