Often, I was gasping for the sanity-sustaining air of business camaraderie and a sense of achievement more profound than was afforded by a successful potty training session. Cathy Curtis says: “I’m a big fan…having a business coach is one of the fastest ways to get yourself out of the thinking phase and into the action phase.”

To deliver higher value to customers, business leaders implement complex strategies, restructure the organization periodically, lay out new initiatives, improve upon they existing processes, focus on sales, training, people etc. Somewhere, in this process of constant realignment and improvement, ‘waste’ is introduced. Don’t Kill It!

By Laura Nozicka In an interview with Oprah Winfrey on October 27, 2010, Jane Fonda astutely said, “Wisdom is knowing what you don’t need anymore.” A dear friend and business coach, Marcie Stern of Vocal Consulting, tells me that according to Harvard Business School Research, your business can earn 10 times more by writing down your goals.

Ask a colleague, friend, coach or mentor to hold you accountable this year and help you stay on track with your own personal navigation system. It is common this time of year to set goals. We’re often so much better at setting the goals than keeping on track until we reach our destination. Here’s my suggestion: find a “GPS Buddy”.

Change involves lot of training and counseling, but real acceptance of any significant change only happens when people actually apply the new practices and experience the tangible benefits of the change. People learn and adapt at a different rate and it is important to “facilitate” change than to “push” it. Don’t Kill It!

Perhaps it will open up a door for mentoring or coaching or other resources for you. In 2010, make this a resolution. You never know until you ask. Ask for what you want and need. “No” No” is not always a definitive “no”. It can often be an opportunity to gain more information.

so that people ‘want’ to change) Because the fact is, people only change when "they want to change’ In organizational context, constant training and support on change is essential to remove barriers for people who are impacted by the change. Trying to change everything at once is a sure recipe for failure.

For certification, you can have a phase named “Preparation&# with activities like identifying the scope, body of work, spending time learning, special training needed etc. Identify the resources you will need to get into action e.g. books, training material etc. Remember - that which does not get scheduled does not get done!

Checklists can serve as a training/reference material for new comers. What is important about the tool as a checklist is in how people are trained to use it. Some training can also help. Checklists help in controlling quality of the products in verification stage. Checklists are a great communication tool.
