Note from Sue
 I
have the great fortune to work with highly successful, strong
leaders. They are people with purpose and passion. They take
ownership for their work and their impact on others. Downside? There
are times when “personal accountability” gets equated with “I gotta’
do it all myself”.
Those who know me know that I am no stranger to this sentiment in my
own life and work. Yet, I’ve also witnessed the power of multiplying
the contributions each of us can make by surrounding ourselves with
the right people and information.
In this newsletter, I’ve grouped together some helpful resources to
help you benefit from the power of alignment with others.
1. Group Onboarding Coaching: Ramp Up Right
-
On Tuesday, July 29th at 10:00am
Eastern (Toronto, New York) I’m holding the 3rd in a series of
onboarding coaching calls. Participants in these calls have
benefited not only from information that I’ve brought to the
call, but particularly from hearing experiences—both success
stories and difficulties -- of peers on the calls.
-
If you are in a new role or
looking to support new hire in your team, we welcome you to this
call on “Staying Out of the Ditch”. The first few months in a
new role are full of challenges and overwhelm for the best of
us… don’t hesitate to equip yourself and others with support.

2. Wow Them In Your New Job
-
In response to client demand,
we’ve created a great self-coaching resource to support you and
your employees in ramping up well in their new positions. It’s
like having a coach by your side or a little bird on your
shoulder whispering secrets of success in your ear. It’s hot off
the press, so order your copy now! Find out more at:

2. Blog Post: Getting A New Boss?
You’re Onboarding Again!
-
Our feature
article today is a blog post that points out that anyone who
gains a new boss is going through a transition experience in
their work.
-
I encourage you not to just “tough
it out on your own”, but to be pro-active about leveraging tools
from Onboarding programs and having deliberate alignment
conversations with your new boss.
3. Retreat for Women Leaders:
-
You’ve been investing in the
talented folks around you and ensuring their development needs
are met.

YOU?
