As we move into the third month of the year (which is crazy to think) the learning and interactions amongst Leaders Performance Institute members continue full steam ahead.<\/h4>\n
\n

By Luke Whitworth<\/h6>\n

We\u2019ve facilitated some fantastic connections between different organisations and individuals in which nearly 100 people have benefited from this month, there\u2019s been six refreshing Community Group conversations, an insightful webinar on People Development and we\u2019ve enjoyed interacting with others across our virtual roundtables, in which a new format was introduced during the month of February. There\u2019s more to come so keep your eyes peeled through the email communications and the My Account Page. March ushers in our first physical event of the year \u2013 a Leaders Meet focused on Coach & Player Development.<\/p>\n

To follow on from the first month of 2022, we want to continue to share with you, our valued Performance Institute Members, what is going on across our different products, key learnings and challenges from your peers in the network. We hope this keeps you on the pulse with contemporary thinking across the high performance space and provides you with some inspiration to engage with the variety of opportunities on offer through your membership.<\/p>\n

So what really stood out to us in February? Here, we outline the key takeaways from across a number of the sessions:<\/p>\n

Community Group Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Across our Community Group conversations, which bring together Leaders Performance Institute Members with similar job functions and challenges. This month, two groups embarked on a discovery phase to unearth their priorities for 2022 while the other groups moved into the exploration phase in terms of specific themes and topics. Below are five combined challenges that came from practitioners working in high performance science and another group of performance directors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Change Management:<\/strong> with new staff coming into the environment, focusing on how departments interact with other disciplines and management. Creating buy-in amongst all stakeholders.<\/li>\n
  2. Prioritisation:<\/strong> if you have the right people in the building, you can have lots of ideas \u2013 what do we do and prioritise? Where should we put time, money and effort in relation to short-term vs. long-term? It also relates to the balance between systems vs. deliverables.<\/li>\n
  3. Burnout & Sustainability:<\/strong> serious consideration for all of us both individually and for our staff. We need sustainability to influence performance \u2013 how can we best think about this?<\/li>\n
  4. Evaluation of Processes:<\/strong> looking at the deliberate approach to evaluating projects and programmes \u2013 how are we integrating learnings effectively back into the programme.<\/li>\n
  5. Balancing & Creating a System for Staff Development:<\/strong> considering pathways for this and also the appreciation that coaching doesn\u2019t look the same as it used to. Identify what the pathways look like and synchronising the skills, competencies, integration and onboarding development resources to support them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What about some more specific topic discussions? For this month, we\u2019ve looked at some interesting considerations that have stemmed from three of our group conversations and the topics they chose to explore in February:<\/p>\n
