Just because you’re working alone – You don’t have to work by yourself

We’re all “remote workers” now – confined to our laptops, either working on our regular jobs, or freelance, or “gig” workers. How do we stay motivated, on purpose, and productive in our new virtual workplace?

Imagine that you had a “guardian angel”? like a coach by your side, cheering you on, keeping you on target.

Peer Mentoring™ is a system in which two people agree to support each other based on complementary skills and needs, and the partners create a ‘contract.’

The purpose of this process is to create a productively paired ‘buddy system’ to help both of you achieve your individual goals.

In the Peer Mentoring process, people identify their own resources and those of others (using our Skills and Resources Inventory) and then create specific strategies for mutual goal achievement. It is a new adaptation of the age-old concept of reciprocity + barter practiced by all cultures.

Elaina Zuker (LinkedIn profile) created and has used the Peer Mentor process with audiences and groups all over the world; as a learning accelerator, a success technique. a team building process and as a model for collaboration.

Her new book “YOUX2” about the process and its origins, is now available as an e-book and in paperback. Now she is delighted to bring those ideas to members of SMM and TMN.

Elaina will describe the process, how it works, and how it is different from and similar to other forms of “help” – coaching, mentoring, etc.and then Then she will guide some interactive exercises to give participant an experiential sense of how it might be helpful for individuals, teams and organizations.

Of course there will be time for Q + A.

The 10-20-70 theory suggests that workers learn 70% of the time from informal ways, through conversations, self-searching, solving problems at work, drawing experiences from relationships and networks. Unfortunately, L&D professionals restrict or constrain the “70” learning from being an integral part of their curriculum or formal lessons.

So informal learning fails and inadvertently appear as “pretentious.”

In this webinar, you will gain new insights from examples of strategies to continue to grow and nourish the 10-20-70 theory while allowing workers and learners more latitude to do informal learning.

Topics covered:

• What is the 10-20-70 learning theory? How does it work?
• What are prevailing practices that backfire because many informal learning get deemed as “pretentious”?
• When does informal learning become unproductive?
• What are the learning ecosystems that harness informal learning but within business strategies?
• What are small and nudging actions, systems, and tools that accelerate informal learning?

Learn the importance of training managers in these times, including best practices in selecting and training the best people to manage people.

In this provocative multimedia and dynamic presentation, author and speaker Bob Kelleher takes attendees through a journey of why is has become so difficult to be a boss in these times.

Gallup claims that only 33% of the workforce is engaged, but for the first time, the boss is less engaged than the employees they manage. Given the boss is the single biggest driver of both engagement and disengagement- this is a significant organizational challenge.

Why is this?

Well, for starters, these are incredibly challenging times for all – bosses included. Many don’t even want to manage people; and / or have no idea how to manage people; and / or lack the skill set to be effective bosses.

They take on the role of leadership because that is how one makes more money.

They often are left brain, analytics types who lack the right brain emotional intelligence DNA. In some ways, it is not their fault. It is the fault of organizations for poorly selecting and training ‘people who lead people’.

Learning Objectives:

• Hear what has caused leadership engagement to drop
• Discuss why people who manage people have the organization’s most important job
• Discover the key success competencies of people who effectively manage people
• Look for the right people to select themselves in (and out) of management
• Look for (and avoid) the 7 deadly characteristics of terrible bosses
• Implement the BEST (Behaviors / Experience / Skills / Traits) Profile in management selection
