Growing personally from professional challenges. Brad Chambers and I will have an on-stage conversation with Drs. Nancy Tippins, Suzanne Tsacoumis, Harold, Goldstein, and Doug Reynolds. We do not often focus on the hardships and personal challenges we experience. It may be that focusing on successes is easier to do and provides faster rewards. Sometimes the difficulty of attending to these challenges stems from unrecognized mistakes that were made in a process, or it stems from an unwillingness to admit our own imperfections. Openly talking about hardships and mistakes not only helpful for the individuals themselves but sharing is also an opportunity to learn for the listeners.

Have You Heard? Alan Parker is coming to town! He's facilitating as session on the art and science of 'Becoming the Presenter in Demand'. If you want to be a better presenter, on big stages or in the office, this is an event you can't miss. I personally flew to Sydney to attend one of Alan's workshops and would do it again. Alan is one of my favorite facilitators of all time. Everything is easy to understand and make sense but is mind-blowing in practicality. Allan will be facilitating this workshop for Professional Speakers Australia - PSA in Adelaide on February 21 at the Arkaba Hotel. Follow the link below to book in and join us. ****** When asked about his presentation "Becoming a Presenter in Demand" Allan Parker, answered with the following: Might it be possible that being an exceptional speaker requires us to speak less? Could there be an invisible target to business success for professional speakers? Damn Blind Spots 😆 Would you be interested to find out what it could or might be? How would it be if you were a Professional Speaker in constant demand, without enough time to do marketing or sales? Can that really happen? And what does being a professional mean, in 2024 and beyond, anyway? If learning, both the art and science of how to be a creator of adaptive and expansive brains, that results in additional client work, would that be of interest? Some interesting and surprising answers await you at your next PSA meeting. Please come and join me and some of my Professional Speaker friends at the Arkaba Hotel. Simply follow the link, book in and I will see you there. https://lnkd.in/gaYjTUZB Gary Edwards CSP - The Influence Coach, Kate Burr, Sally A Curtis, NIKOU JAVADI, David Griggs, Peter Nicholls, Matt McQuinley, Con Koutsikas - Communicate with Confidence.

Join us for a walk in Chicago! RGCS at the Academy of Management Meeting! After a long day of sitting work, but before joining the receptions later on the evening of 12 August, come and let's walk together to get inspired by the beautiful Chicago! "Walking and talking is a powerful combination. It effectively mixes people. You can avoid someone in a "safe" seminar room or event convention centre, but in a crowded metro, bus or tramway, you may end up speaking to whoever just happens to be near you. When there is a large diversity of stakeholders – academics, entrepreneurs, representatives of public institutions, journalists – walking works as a powerful engine to break down barriers and create new synergies." (RGCS White Paper, 2018) Open Walked Event-based Experimentations, or simply OWEE, is an approach close to the spirit of the French dérive (drift) practice. The idea is to introduce improvisation to the walk. Improvisation is key in the flow of the walk and fuzzy temporal and spatial boundaries for our events. Register at https://lnkd.in/evuh4i9A

In my last post I gave a quick 101 on mindsets and so next up is fast thinking, and it might be different to what first springs to mind. Shared mindsets help us move through the world without having to process every input in every moment. They are part of our fast-thinking system (Daniel Kahneman - Thinking, Fast and Slow), which operates at speed at the unconscious level. We are often unaware that we are drawing on shared mindsets to interpret information. We use mental shortcuts and bias to protect the shared mindsets most familiar to us. For example, we seek different facts when we are presented with information that doesn’t feel right to us — this is known as confirmation bias. We may be unaware that our fast-thinking system is protecting mindsets that contain unhelpful or incomplete information and knowledge. Frames and narratives are one way to access and engage with shared mindsets without having to engage people’s slow-thinking system, so they’re useful when we can’t have a one-on-one conversation to explain an issue to people. If you're keen to explore this, or find ways of applying it the current environment - sign up for one of our training events where our experts will take you through the detail.
