Kerrin Smith on LinkedIn: Ep 079: Groundhog Day & breaking cycles (2024)

Last year, as I ventured into yet another round of further study. I asked myself the following questions that brought purpose and meaning to my decision: 📚 What do I intend to gain from this experience?💪 How can I use this new knowledge to build capacity in others?❤️ Why is this work important to me?Building my own Psychological capital helped me navigate the peaks and troughs of managing full-time work and part-time study helping keep myself true to my purpose. Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism - Who wouldn't want to develop themselves a little further in these areas? The intentional focus on the development of these psychological states can be so beneficial for improving our wellbeing.

I often ponder why it is that some people have an amazing ability to light up the room as they enter. What is it about them that has us more intrigued to want to be around them?Well, it's called the 'heliotropic effect', and it's an amazing tool you can tap into to improve your relationships and leadership approach. #positivepsychology #positivepsychologycoaching #positiveleadership #leadership #personalgrowth#personaldevelopment

There's never a dull moment in the world of education consulting. One day I can be designing and facilitating workshops, the next I can be coaching leaders to effectively lead their teams, everyday presents an awesome opportunity to have an impact on the lives of students. Yesterday I was excited to extend my skillset a little further, starring in and producing a series of clips showcasing how EC by Go1 is transforming the way Professional Learning is designed and delivered in schools. Stay tuned for the finished product. #professionallearning #leadership #coaching

Overcoming guilt around delegation can be challenging, especially when time is already a limited resource. It's one of the most common topics leaders discuss with me during coaching sessions. It's such a valuable skill for leaders to understand how investing in delegation can not only help save time but also develop more capable, engaged and empowered team members. #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #delegation https://lnkd.in/gYA8Nf_s

"We still value IQ far more than we value EQ" is a quote I hope that we can flip the narrative on in the near future. As adults, we need to be aware of our own emotional quotient so we can support younger generations to manage their own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathise with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.#emotionalintelligence #emotionalwellbeing #wellbeing #empathy #compassion https://lnkd.in/gEfsBn3t
