These Coaching Moments were created over the first several years in my own business as a leadership coach. I decided to write one every week and share them with leaders around the world, knowing that if my Coaching Moment resonated with just one person, I was touching them through coaching and helping them to become a better leader. This is the whole reason I took the leap into my own business—to help one leader at a time be the best leader that they can be.

At certain times, a Coaching Moment has come from an actual conversation or top issue that one of my clients faced that week. At other times, Coaching Moments arose from situations that I observed throughout the course of my day. All of them are common challenges for leaders at all levels.

Let these Coaching Moments serve as weekly practices for you. Browse the book alphabetically by heading, and find the leadership topic that hits home for you this week. Or pick a Coaching Moment at random. Try practicing one tip per week.

Having this book alone takes you one step forward in your leadership. May these Coaching Moments raise your level of leadership and bring you success and joy, as these have for me to have written them.

As you practice each one, commit to enjoy a great week.

Ninety percent of management improvement and cost saving initiatives are failures that end up wasting time, money and in the worst cases, result in catastrophic failures leading to injury or death.
Matt Polaski and his band of unsung maintenance engineering heroes at the Mornington Dairy Plant are frustrated by working in the ”circle of despair;” patching one breakdown after another. They want to do the right things right. Matt knows that the preservation of their mental well-being and the future of the company depend on the implementation of a best practices program. He realizes that his marriage may even survive if they are successful!
Jim Champion, Mornington’s GM, wants to improve performance as well, but he can't wait as long as Matt's plan requires. Jim's approach leads to a temporary improvement followed by a major catastrophe.
When the dust and recriminations settle, Jim asks Matt to lead another improvement program. Matt and his crew have a tough choice to make.

From his energy-based approach to interior design and his appearances on HGTV, readers familiar with Cary Weldy will appreciate this new offering, in which Weldy speaks to the business community. Businesses have often run under the assumption that efficiency and productivity automatically equal success, measured solely in terms of profit. In this competitive paradigm, values must take second place, leading to the stereotype of the corporation as a soulless place. In this ground-breaking book, Cary Weldy moves beyond “synergy” to a model of business that focuses on the whole person. Take care of people, unleash their creativity, and innovation will follow. A new corporate mindset, one that is socially and environmentally conscious, now takes root around the world, leading to a better working environment, and, ultimately, a better world. Weldy takes readers on a journey through this change in consciousness, discussing the theory and the practice of bringing spiritual values into business.

The book discusses the spiritual evolution we are witnessing on the planet, and how it is affecting companies, both large and small. It discusses the importance of embodying spiritual values in a workplace setting, and how the profits will follow. A reader will learn how to move from fear to love, the power of simplicity, how to use intuition for guidance, and the importance of moving from goals into flow and process. Cary also discusses the challenges and importance of diversity, and a new paradigm for leadership, providing examples of the template for our new emerging leaders. Readers can also learn many practical ways that some companies are already doing to create a new workplace environment geared for truly taking care of its employees, including offering massage therapy services, meditation classes, and the use of aromatherapy to increase productivity.
