#IAmRemarkable What a great vibe on a Friday to run an inhouse workshop in APAC. In each session, I get totally different takeaways due to the unique make up of participants and the experiences they are bringing in relationship to the topic of self promotion. Yesterday: 1. The power of "co-promotion" (a word from one of the participants which I loved as how it connected to #allyship and raising up those who need a platform) and how it is easier to practice the skill in a contracted space - where it is the norm to self promote, encouraged even! 2. I am not alone in weirdness! 3. We can examine our own edges - whether to leave behind the need for evidence and proof or to realise that adding detail connects us more intimately to the feeling of it being remarkable 4. Listening to others share their accomplishments - it rarely felt like bragging in the session 5. “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt If you are interested in bringing #IAmRemarkable to yourorganisation I offer a limited number of in-house probono workshops in English as well as open public workshops online once per quarter in #APAC friendly times.

Highly recommend checking out the @textio 2024 "Language Bias in Performance Feedback" - lots of great nuggets from a large data set and survey. The results seem to connect with trends that show up in my executive coaching sessions and make me aware of the need for leaders to get better at giving actionable, example rich feedback even to high performers if you want them to stay. Would love to hear your thoughts on this topic! 2 segments from the report below : "Gender bias is internalized • Men are 2-4x as likely to internalize positive stereotypes about themselves • Women are 7x as likely to internalize negative stereotypes about themselves • 56% of women recall being described as unlikable, vs. 31% of non-binary people and just 16% of men • 78% of women recall being negatively described as emotional, vs. 23% of non-binary people and only 11% of men" "The best feedback is specific, relevant, and actionable; good feedback comes with clear examples and clear suggestions for improvement. But women receive almost twice as much unactionable feedback as men, and Black people receive more than twice as much unactionable feedback as their white and Asian coworkers. (Figure 1.7) This is particularly problematic because people who receive actionable feedback have significantly more opportunity to learn and improve, which over time creates greater pay and promotion opportunities. When some groups get more actionable feedback than others, it sets up a foundational inequity that underlies the entire performance management and compensation system. The patterns of bias emerged clearly in the 2022 data. So in 2023, we turned our attention to looking at the impact of these patterns. Working with two very large data sets, we found that people who get low-quality feedback—even when that feedback is positive in nature—are 63% more likely to quit within 12 month" https://ow.ly/HVnf50SMNtV
