O CAPTAIN! WAIT – WHO’S MY CAPTAIN?

How to produce, create, and achieve in today’s distracted, over-connected, constantly interrupted tech environments

In organizations, people are the most expensive, and most valuable, resource. A common factor is that we don’t teach/learn H.O.W. to work optimally. We overlook aspects of dynamic work environments; how individuals and teams approach tasks, priorities, overwhelm, fatigue, distractions, emergencies … even internal energy reserves. We fail to teach fundamentals that drive motivation and personal empowerment – the same keys that drive excellence, career and organizational growth.

In this session you will not only learn three critical levers for fully optimized workday, you’ll get a chance to interact online and structure a framework for immediate action.

Session Design and Take-Aways

✔️ Understand critical levers to allow identification and optimal execution of key priorities

✔️ Build customized/personal success equations based on The H.O.W. Advantage model*

✔️ Carve personal critical paths/action steps for immediate application

*The H.O.W. Advantage is a proprietary model used as (1) a diagnostic tool for assessing any team or organization and (2) a strategic tool for putting decisions into action to generate results.

NURTURE, NATURE, & NOGGINS

How to harness your brain and biology to achieve success

In today’s highly demanding environments, the pressure to stay on top of one’s game and achieve maximum results can affect mental and physical well-being. Even the highest performers seek new ways to advance and need new techniques to mitigate against energy depletion, distractions, and our very human tendencies towards self-defeating behavior (e.g. perfectionism, procrastination, denial, etc.).

By studying how the brain orchestrates our cognitive, emotional, and physiological response, we can apply strategies to harness the best of human potential, for less stress and a more holistic, successful, sane experience of work and life.

MINDFULNESS AND WORKING IN TEAMS

Optimize behavior and improve cooperation, effectiveness, and cohesion

As employees shift their mindset away from individual contributor, they need tools to navigate career progression. Key to this progression is one’s ability to work with others in a manner that is both agreeable and effective.

By using assessments, understanding personal learning styles, and increasing collaboration tools, candidates are more poised to effectively navigate the challenges of day-to-day interactions in the short term; and in the long term, build career strategy and success.

Session Design and Take-Aways

As foundations for personal success and effective team collaboration, at the end of the session participants will be able to:

✔️ Understand personal thinking style, and further…

✔️ Understand how variation in thinking style affects how different people approach the same opportunity, challenge, or assignment

✔️ Apply a three-step technique to navigate dynamic/challenging human interaction with agility and optimal results

✔️ Use the H.O.W. Advantage Model* to quickly (1) frame and gain consensus on team goals and (2) identify and mitigate likely challenges

*The H.O.W. Advantage is a proprietary model used as (1) a diagnostic tool for assessing any team or organization and (2) a strategic tool for putting decisions into action to generate results.

Praise for Linda

One of the most engaging and interactive sessions of AIIP’s 2013 conference was run by Linda Stacy, who designed her session to help her fellow AIIP members explore the ways they depleted their energy and capacity do their best work, and to identify and share their most effective ways to recharge and rejuvenate themselves. It’s a vitally important focus, and one that we as independent business owners too often ignore. Linda is a wonderful facilitator. She’s poised and professional and organized, but still maintains an open, warm presence that encourages everyone in the room to participate. She listens to her audience and takes the presentation where it needs to go, and yet she manages to keep everyone on track — quite a feat when you’ve got a room full of independently minded professional people who are used to working on their own, with no-one to tell them who’s boss!

It’s something everyone needs to work on… it was a really great way to take a step back and see what I am doing and how I can improve…

Linda Stacy’s Ready to Recharge session at AIIP13 provided participants with a fresh look at the business owner as a whole person who lives a balanced life. Taking an interactive approach, Linda sought audience input to ground her content and give it context. It was a valuable opportunity to step back from hard-core business topics and reflect on the personal side of running a strong and healthy business.
