Hi and journey update - I’m proud to now be a One of Many Certified Coach too!Mostly I’m known on LinkedIn in my capacity as an automation engineer. I’ve had a degree in Engineering Systems Design since 1994 and have actively been using it to de-bug and re-design automated distribution centres. Over the last 30 years in industry (15 of which I’ve been an independent consultant), it’s become clear that two major things happen during both the design and operational phases of automation.1. If a bad process gets automated, you're usually stuck with it.2. Automation doesn't change unless you change it (or it breaks down).My other observation is that automation and egos don't go together. Unlike many people, the automation doesn’t care whether it’s popular and it’s not going to go faster if you give it more work to do (overloading it). It’s actually going to produce less for you because it’s too full, it can’t flow. Pacing is what it needs for flow. We can learn a lot from automation! Automation says 'No'.Friends and colleagues already know that I’m the FLOW LADY. And to be honest, there’s a bit of magic (sensing) as well as logic that goes into identifying why there isn’t flow.My super-power is being able to see whereabouts in a complex system the blockage is, root cause it and propose/implement fixes, workarounds or enhancements. How to break down a big problem into palatable chunks or execution steps. In other words ‘How to eat the elephant’. And now I’ve learned some new, very effective tools on how to do that with people too! 😊Like many of you, especially since COVID, I've had a major re-think on how I want to spend my time (between engineering and coaching). By transferring the skills I’ve learned over the past 3 decades and blending them together into coaching offerings.I'm now offering coaching to women in engineering, manufacturing and distribution environments (whether you are an engineer yourself or not!), either through a corporate sponsor or directly.Discovery calls are free so please be in touch for a chat.Here’s to your FLOW!
