Leadership and life can be lonely.
There are decisions to be made, problems to solve, options to weigh up and workplace politics to navigate. We get stuck on the small stuff.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could pick the brains of another clever person to see what resources they use or how they would tackle that challenge?
Sure … you have your networks and collegiate groups, but they have agendas and often require you to leave the office. Who has time for THAT.
In 2023 I am trialling...
DROP-IN OFFICE HOURS
Every Wednesday from 7.30am to 9am
I’m calling it DOH! For short.
How it Works
I log into a Microsoft Teams meeting at 7.30am and you can join me at any time before 9 am for as long as you want. You can literally pop in and out.
You can:
- Ask a question
- Share a challenge and seek solutions
- Asks for ideas or resources
- Pick my brains
- Get 10 minutes of laser focussed coaching (possibly more if no one else is on the call)
OR you can:
- Mute the conversation and use the session to smash out jobs you need to do – kinda like an online coworking accountability group.
If you are around when others have a question we would love you to share your ideas, resources and opinions.
When there is no one on the call I will be working on my stuff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to show up every week for 90 mins?
No. You only need to drop in when you have something to discuss. You can leave whenever you are done.
What about confidentiality?
I take confidentiality very seriously. Participants will agree not to share any information they hear on the call will. You can depersonalise your challenge, change people's names or simply wait until there is no one else on the call. Of course, to ensure 100% confidentiality, you are always welcome to book a private coaching session.
Will there be a recording of the session?
At this point – no. However I would like to record the occasional snippet – for coaching and training puposes! This will only be shared within The Collective (the paid private membership platform) and not without your express permission.
Will it happen every week at the same time?
Generally, yes. However, there may be times when I have a workshop or other commitment on a Wednesday morning. When humanly possible you will be notified well in advance. In these instances DOH! may be moved to another day.
What if no one shows up or there are no challenges to discuss?
I will continue to work away in silence until 9am or until someone else pops in to ask a question. You are welcome to join me for some quiet, co-working.
What if you can’t answer my question?
If there are other people on the call you can ask for their help, or I may direct you to other resources. Occasionally, I will encourage you to ask the Facebook group for their advice.
