When I met him again a year later in November 2017 at a Prayer Breakfast in the Muthaiga in Nairobi, I was even more so fascinated by him. Mike has since then, become a true role model of a senior elder to me. If he at his age can be so open, dedicated, loving despite the many and serious impediments he had and has to face, there is hope for me too.

• His humbleness and love for humans and for his home country Kenya

• His resolve to contribute, to improve the life of many Kenyans.
• His dedication to do the right, based on his strong faith.
• The warmth and love he radiates engaging with you.

Mike and my wife

Audaciously, I invited my wife and myself to his home, a farm outside Nairobi and also location of Kijito Windmills enterprise. Here is where we were so deeply touched by his life and legacy that we wanted to support him.

Mike is in his early 80ies and apart from the family farm, he build up Kijito Windmills as a social enterprise to bring water in east Africa. As a young man, volunteering as a pilot for Flying Doctors, he learned about diseases originating from lack of water. This led him to develop windmills that pump water from wells. With Kikjito he has improved the life of thousands in rural East Africa.

Today at his advanced age, he would like to pass Kijito on into younger hands that are able to carry on the legacy and bring it to the next level.

This documentary on Mike and Kijito you see here is our aim to help find someone or an organization willing to carry on with Kijito. Are you the one or can help finding one?

Being promoted to an executive position is an important and exciting event. Nevertheless, the excitement can briskly change into contradictory feelings: on the one hand there are enthusiasm and thrill about the trust and opportunity given, on the other hand concerns about being overwhelmed with the new job.

New Executives Transition Support (NETS) is designed to ensure a smooth and effective onboarding and settling into the new position. In the background, it provides a framework that allows to work on all essential and relevant elements of this specific executive transition in order to make it a success.

 

NETS focusses on 4 core pillars which again fan out into a variety of sub-items and questions that need to be worked on.

1. ME the executive, my aspirations and competencies.

• What are my personal objectives and aspirations?
• What is the difference I want to make, the mark I want to leave?
• Which skills and capabilities are required to successfully fill the new position? How do my own competencies match? How do I craft and implement a development plan to fill the relevant skill gaps?
• What is my leadership style, habits and behavior patterns? Where do I have potential for growth?

2. WE the relationships I have / need.

• Who are my key stakeholders and how do I build constructive relationships with them?
• How do I want to engage with my co-workers?
• What is the team I will inherit / will lead? How do I make sure to build an effective and aligned team?
• How do I involve my team and relevant stakeholders in developing and implementing a strategy for my function?

3. IT the task(s) and responsibilities at hand.

• What is /will be the strategy for my new function?
• What will be the contribution of my function and how will we measure our success?
• Which tasks and responsibilities are we already fulfilling, what do we still need to work on?
• What performance is expected of us, can we provide?

4. GLOBE the context I / me and my team are operating in.

• How does my function’s strategy fit into the overall strategy of the company?
• What are our key dependencies and what are ways to build and intensify relationships with those stakeholders?
• What is the corporate culture – what are the informal dos and don’ts and how do I / we best adapt?

NETS not only guides the executive to inquire and explore answers to the above mentioned core questions but also provides a partner-coach on eyelevel to insure integration and application of the insights in a balanced and healthy manner.

The NETS process of executive support typically starts with or shortly after the assignment of the new position and before assuming it. It starts with a definition of individual goals, covering career, new position and other relevant aspects of life. This is followed by an initial competency assessment to identify relevant growth potential. Based on this, an action plan is devised that covers both the time leading up to the first day in the new position as well as the first 100 days in it.

The intervention methods applied in NETS are amongst other:

• personal coaching and mentoring,
• on the job shadowing,
• specific team interventions like team building or strategy development processes,
• focused input and knowledge transfer,
• inquiry journeys for inspiration
• facilitation of peers for sparring

Although every career step is individual, there are a number of recurrent patterns to make transitions a success. The NETS program is crafted to address these and leaves the necessary room for customization where appropriate.

Get in touch with us if this resonates with you and you are interested. We very much look forward to engage with you and together with you inquire which kind of support is most beneficial for your next career step.

THE PERSONAL, HUMAN CONTACT AND INTERPERSONAL EXCHANGE. The sometimes-subtle feeling of loneliness, isolation, a lack of aliveness, the absence of real personal contact become increasingly tangible and come to the foreground.

Virtual Y-III programs are designed with a focus on bridging this emotive gap. They draw participants into a deep, vibrant human exchange that normally does not take place in the virtual space.

We are proud to be able to say that our program design is unique in the way it allows, almost forces participants into distinctive personal dialogues not easy to experience in virtual encounters.

IT LEAVES NEXT TO NO ROOM FOR ONLINE FATIGUE.

Platone chiama “Daimon” il nostro demone buono. Scoprire il nostro Daimon e farlo esprimere è la fonte della felicità.

In questo video, vi offriamo un “lunghissimo” racconto che narra il mito di Er, che ci può ispirare per esplorare noi stessi, scoprire le nostre passioni, qualità e resistenze.

Questo video lo offriamo per introdurre alcuni moduli della Self Leadership Backbone nelle organizzazioni, perché ci piace ispirare attraverso l’arte, la bellezza e filosofia. Se vi suscita interesse, guardatelo o ascoltatelo come se fosse un podcast o una fiaba della buonanotte 😉

In questo momento sentiamo un forte bisogno di rinascere.

Ci siamo ispirati al Rinascimento italiano e alle botteghe d’arte, per affrontare il tema delle proprie qualità che si trasformano in proposito.

Abbiamo fatto un “lungo” racconto che parla della bottega di Andrea del Verrocchio (maestro di Leonardo da Vinci e molti altri artisti dell’epoca), che aveva come proposito “insegnare il desiderio di aggiungere”.

Questo video è nato come dono d’ispirazione per i partecipanti ad un Self Leadership Backbone, il nostro programma fondamentale sulla Leadership. E’ il secondo di una serie di tre. Potete trovare i precedenti sul nostro sito: https://bridgingpositions.com/it/blog/

Come gli altri due, anche questo racconto lo abbiamo creato e mandato come regalo ai nostri partecipanti per creare una prospettiva originale nell’esplorazione del proprio proposito in funzione della propria Leadership.

The post Attuare la Rinascita – una ispirazione per noi tutti (Secondo video di tre) appeared first on bridgingpositions.

In bridgingpositions crediamo che ogni nostro intervento formativo o co-creativo, si concluda con una riflessione su come agire concretamente ciò che si è appreso e/o le novità emerse.

Questo video è nato come dono d’ispirazione per i partecipanti ad un Self Leadership Backbone, il nostro programma fondamentale sulla Leadership. E’ l’ultimo di una serie di tre. Qui potete trovare i precedenti.

In questo video, ci siamo ispirati all’artista Bansky per generare una riflessione su come i nostri valori e il nostro proposito possono esprimersi in comportamenti concreti e di valore.

All’interno del video, scorrono delle domande le cui risposte aiutano a costruire la base per ideare delle azioni nel rispetto delle nostre qualità. Nella Self Leadership Backbone si esplorano i nostri talenti distintivi, per esprimerli in azioni concrete, sentendoci sostenuti dai nostri valori e guidati dal nostro proposito nei vari ambiti in cui noi operiamo.
