Let’s Talk About…Normality

On November 23, 2021 / coaching, leadership, media

When normality is shaken, so too are productivity and performance, reminds Davina Greene. Normality is important. No matter how wild or adventurous we consider ourselves to be, when a shock happens, we need something to cling to – something secure, something predictable. We have learned a lot […]

Let’s Talk About…Learning

On September 30, 2020 / coaching, leadership, media

Patience, and eventual clarity, comes from properly understanding needs, reminds Davina Greene. Learning is a high-profile thing right now. Social media and Zoom chats are full of humblebrags about knits, bakes, and random artistic adventures, and it’s lovely. However, sometimes the process of getting to the point […]

Let’s Talk About…Being OK

On July 19, 2020 / coaching, media

When thrown into chaos, notice the positive and make the big picture smaller, offers Davina Greene. “Hi, my name is X. I come from Y. I work as Z”. How quickly we identify ourselves by our work and, consequently, how quickly people will have felt lost in […]

Let’s Talk About…Empowerment

On May 18, 2020 / coaching, leadership, media

Workplace empowerment is a journey, not an entitlement, reminds Davina Greene. Empowerment is a lovely concept that seems to be losing its way. I continuously see the word pinned, in all its glory, on the walls of businesses – a bold promise intended to inspire and bring […]

Let’s Talk About…Assertiveness

On February 10, 2020 / coaching, leadership, media

Calm preparation + Backbone = Progress, suggests Davina Greene. Ah, assertiveness. The great ambition of so many people the world over. Such a well-known word, but such an ill-employed concept. To master it, we need to name and reject the alternatives. So, here we go… Probably the […]

Let’s Talk About…Instead

On February 10, 2020 / coaching, leadership, media

How well thought-through is our dissatisfaction, wonders Davina Greene. “Instead” is a wonderful word – open, helpful, empowering, and most importantly directional. In the world of coaching, we talk a lot about the concept of knowing not only what you’re running from, but also what you’re running […]

Let’s Talk About…Shopping

On February 10, 2020 / coaching, leadership, media

To what extent has ‘retail thinking’ affected our approach to work relationships, wonders Davina Greene. People can be difficult. Even with years of coaching training and practice, I’m never going to tell you that knowledge of humans constitutes a magic wand that makes them all easy to […]

Let’s Talk About…Making Your Mark

On January 1, 2020 / coaching, leadership, media

It’s possibly not “The System” that’s beating you, suggests Davina Greene. Have you ever been the person who arrives frustratedly into December proclaiming “Oh wow, another year gone. I didn’t do anything I said I’d do”? Are you about to be that person again? During that period […]

Let’s Talk About…Career Creativity

On November 19, 2019 / coaching, leadership, media

Still humming ‘The Only Way Is Up’? It’s time to change your tune, says Davina Greene. “Onwards and sideways” a great colleague of mine used to say, usually in moments where a great idea had encountered a committee that seemingly wanted to strangle it slowly, but the […]

Let’s Talk About…Buy-In

On October 11, 2019 / coaching, leadership, media

Everyone has to dip their toe in the marketing pool at some point, reminds Davina Greene. “Why should I?”, “That will never work!” and “That’s not what I’d do” – the dreaded retorts of the unconvinced audience. And that’s before the nervous change-haters chip in. But hey, […]
