في آخر الشارع،
كان هناك بيت…
ليس الأكبر،
ولا الأجمل…
لكنه كان
الأكثر حياة.
بابه…
لم يُغلق يومًا.
ليس لأنه مكسور،
بل لأن صاحبه
لم يُرد له أن يُغلق.
كان يقول:
"البيت الذي يُغلق بابه كثيرًا…
ينسى الناس طريقه."
كان يدخل إليه الجميع.
جارٌ يحتاج مساعدة،
طفلٌ يبحث عن دفء،
غريبٌ لا يعرف أحدًا…
فيجد مكانًا يجلس فيه.
في الصباح،
رائحة القهوة.
وفي المساء،
أحاديث طويلة.
وفي كل وقت…
كان هناك
شخصٌ مرحّب به.
مرّت السنوات.
تغيّر الحي،
ورحل كثير من الناس.
لكن البيت…
بقي كما هو.
بابه مفتوح.
وفي يومٍ من الأيام،
غاب صاحب البيت.
لم يعد يجلس عند الباب،
ولا يُسمع صوته.
لكن الغريب…
أن الباب
بقي مفتوحًا.
وكأن المكان يقول:
"الكرم…
لا يموت."

بيت لم يُغْلَق بَابُه \ A house whose door has not been closed

Many leaders struggle to strike the balance between friendliness and firmness. One client, let's call her Sarah, excelled in collaboration but found her team didn't take her directives seriously. Her challenge? Assertive communication.

Over 12 weeks, we embarked on a journey to transform Sarah's communication style. Our bi-weekly coaching sessions (Mondays for planning, Fridays for review) provided structure and accountability. Here's how we achieved results:

Unveiling the Power of "I" Statements:  Instead of accusatory "you" statements ("You always miss deadlines!"), we practiced "I" statements ("I feel frustrated when deadlines are missed"). This shifted the focus to the impact on Sarah and the team, fostering collaboration.

Body Language Bootcamp:  Nonverbal cues speak volumes. We practiced confident posture, strong eye contact, and clear gestures. Standing tall while giving instructions and mirroring team members' positive body language fostered a sense of mutual respect.

The Art of the Pause:  Sarah often rushed through instructions, leaving room for confusion. We mastered the power of the pause. Strategic pauses after key points allowed information to sink in and empowered team members to ask clarifying questions.

Innovation in Role-Playing:  Traditional role-playing can feel awkward. We gamified the process, creating scenarios based on Sarah's real-life situations. This playful approach allowed Sarah to experiment with assertive language in a safe space, boosting her confidence.

Celebrating Small Wins:  Progress wasn't always linear. We celebrated even minor victories, like delivering a firm but respectful instruction. Acknowledging her achievements fueled Sarah's motivation and helped her stay on track.

The Result? Measurable Change: Within three months, Sarah's communication transformed. Team meetings became more focused, deadlines were met consistently, and her leadership presence flourished.

How I Coached a Leader to Master Assertive Communication - Episode 65 

Este es el último episodio de la serie “Especial Navidad”. Y en él hablo de la última celebración de las Navidades españolas. Probablemente la favorita de los niños, ya que es hoy cuando los españoles abrimos nueros regalos de Navidad. 

Y, por supuesto, tenemos cosas típicas de este día. Escucha el episodio para descubrir como celebramos los españoles el Día de Reyes.

ERROR-fe de erratas*-lo siento, en la grabación menciono que las rebajas empiezan mañana 8 de enero, pero por supuesto, hoy, Día de Reyes es 6 de enero, por lo tanto, mañana es 7 de enero, que es cuando empiezan cada año las rebajas. No el 8, mi error)
