It's an honour to bring our coaching to young people, especially in these challenging times. Prilly did us proud!

It's all part of our vision to shift the norm in terms of how human beings support others - teachers, social workers, job coaches...

A huge thank you to former BWA student Prilly Lee who returned to offer coaching sessions for our Year 12 students to help them discover new ways to handle challenges in order to realise their goals for the future. @tuffleadership https://t.co/yYENXZZWcT

Tuff specialises in training that really shifts your mindset and way of being, as well as giving you practical tools for having more adult-to-adult conversations.

Couldn't agree more!

In our Tuff courses we talk about 'relating to people's potential' as one of the cornerstones of a coaching, adult-adult mindset and way of being for leaders.

I can't emphasize the difference between the 2 strongly enough.

Summer tends to be a natural moment of pause for us at Tuff.

We don't have bosses, limited vacation days or approval processes, which requires communication, responsibility and integrity.

What are your practices for managing vacation time and the wellbeing of your team mates?

Reading 'You're Not Listening' by Kate Murphy – thanks to @katherineawynne for the recommendation.

Two quotes we like so far:
"Listening is about the experience of being experienced."

and

"Assumptions as earplugs"... 😊

[Tuff Leadership @tuffleadership]

We’ve trained thousands of professionals in how to give adult-adult feedback, and researched the pros and cons of feedback-giving at work.

One of the main obstacles? Feedback has a bad rap.

So that's the brief version of our origin story!

Today we specialise in 3 things:
1. Practical training in the mindset and skills needed for co-leadership
2. Coaching groups to shift their working climate
3. Supporting organisations on their self-management journeys

[Tuff Leadership @tuffleadership]

It's hard to describe what makes our training different, we find.

So sometimes it can be helpful to talk about the things that have shaped our DNA...

Where Tuff was once too radical and controversial, today, thanks to books like 'Reinventing Organisations' by Frederic Laloux, we also work with decentralised and self-managing organisations.

Those who in particular want help with the culture aspect.
