"Is there a future for #DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging) or is it just another trend that will soon disappear?" - Bertie Tonks (FCIPD) asked this important question at last week's HR Horizon Summit. This question made me reflect on the progress we made as a society...if we look back in history, only 66 years have passed since the last human zoo was abolished in Belgium, 50 years since American women are allowed to own a credit card, 20 years since Canada legalised same-sex marriage, 40 years since Brazil legalised divorce... These are just a few examples that maybe today we take for granted...    Given how recent these events are, is just an extra reason why, we as society, need to continue focusing on systemic change so we don't un-do all the work that has been done, but continue breaking the barriers and evolve DEIB to new horizons 😊.   I am grateful to Mihaly Nagy & Shalva Dzidziguri ☑ for the opportunity to share a brief overview of our DEIB journey at Trivium Packaging. I've been attending the summit for the second time, and it just gets better and better👏.   And an event wouldn't be a success without the amazing participants and speakers. Shout out to Daniela Ivan, Georgia Kyriakopoulos, Giorgia Calabria, Furkan Karayel, Karim El Oteify, Manjuri Sinha. Was great to (re)-connect with you all💟.   #HRHorizonSummit, #FutureOfHR, #CHRO, #HR, #DEIB, #SocialJustice

How co-leaders succeed? Co-leadership, where an executive, department, or team leadership role is shared, can result in more creative and strategic problem solving and wiser decision making. But it can also lead to unhealthy game playing in the pursuit of dominance and positioning for the next role, resulting in organizational misalignment, inertia, and confusion. It doesn’t have to be this way. You don’t have to become a political animal who spends their days looking to outmaneuver their co-leader. Instead, perform this role with integrity, canniness, and positivity, recognizing that it will feel uncomfortable at times. These seven strategies will increase your chances of making your co-leadership a success. #ExecutiveCoach #LeadershipDevelopment https://buff.ly/42OcGip

Why is it that some people can push your buttons just by showing up-the one colleague whose mere presence can be as #annoying as nails on a chalkboard? We've all been there, and continue to have such people around us, but ever wondered why they get under your skin? This The Guardian article unpacks it all! What is annoyance and why is it such a prevalent #emotion in our lives? Here’s a sneak peek into the science of annoyance and why understanding it can be a game-changer at work: Turns out, it's not just about the eye rolls—it’s a complex emotional alert system that’s trying to tell us something important. It’s that little red flag waving fiercely, urging us to seek harmony and balance. The article beautifully explains how certain behaviors act as "social allergens"—you know, like that incessant pen clicking or non-stop humble bragging—that trigger our annoyance. And yes, sometimes, these behaviors mirror the things we dislike about ourselves. Talk about a reality check! On a serious note, recognizing this can transform how we interact in our workspace. With #empathy and curiosity, we can shift our perspective from irritation to understanding, easing tensions and promoting a more collaborative environment.

One to many coaching formats #teamcoaching #groupcoaching #cohortbasedcoaching #coachingfordevelopment We are all fairly familiar with one-on-one coaching formats - what they are and when are each of them used. I would like to share our experiences with one to many coaching formats. Cohort-based coaching: one of the most popular cohort based coaching applications is to develop top talent or future leaders. In this format, coaching is one of the powerful developmental experiences along with assessment and executive education. Working with an entire cohort offers several advantages - the biggest being able to move the capabilities of the entire cohort up in a short period. Group coaching: this is most misunderstood. group coaching works most effectively when an entire group of managers and leaders have a single common development need or target behavior to change. This could be arising out of feedback for an engagement survey for instance. In a short period, we are able to get an entire group to pay attention to and develop a critical behavior through coaching in small groups - a team of coaches working with a small group each. Team coaching: this is not about development but about helping an intact team become more effective in their ability to work together and achieve greater results. Building trust is at the core of team coaching. One to many coaching will gain in popularity in the days to come and knowing which to use when will certainly help.

I never get tired of saying it: It's not your EAP, workplace psychologist, HR department or even employees, it's managers who are a wellbeing intervention in themselves. They influence 69% of employee wellbeing, as much as a marital partner and far more than a psychologist (only 41%). Their leadership styles directly magnify mental health issues, as much as elevate subjective wellbeing and they (and leaders) are the #1 predictor of whether a wellbeing program will save healthcare costs, improve productivity, be attended and used, and influence whether people feel cared about. They are also who employees are likeliest to turn to. So, why aren't we focusing more on giving them the skills they need? Read some of my older posts for the references and check out Gallup's latest on why employee wellbeing is still floundering. https://lnkd.in/dusRy6BZ #AreWeAfraidOfAskingManagersToDoTheJob?

Interesting article: Business Communication How to Take Your Business Writing From “Average” to “Great” by Elizabeth Danziger #AsiaHRM

This is a conversation with an older friend from many years ago. Friend: “I worked hard all through my career to reach the top role in my function and now I feel stuck” Me: “How is that even possible?” I asked him Friend: "I think it is a professional mid – life crisis." I didn’t understand it then but I think I understand it now to some extent. A professional mid – career soul - searching (vs. crisis) happens to many of us. For some of us, the climb to the top may be a difficult one only to find that the so called influence & prestige that comes with it may not be as gratifying as we hoped. Meaning is different from achievement. Sometimes it is because we get weary of the repetitive nature of work – let’s face it, there is a routine to most occupations. Or maybe as we grow up, we want a sense of alignment between who we are as people & what we do professionally. Whatever the reasons that trigger it; it is a reality for many - don't ignore it. It is often a sign that we are evolving. And when we feel stuck; the most important thing to do is to move forward. This may mean re-evaluating where we are going; a personal re-brand; taking some risks & experiencing some vulnerability. I really enjoyed this HBR article by Rebecca Knight on questions we can ask ourselves at the mid-point of our career. There might be an unlock in one of the answers!

It's all about #behavior! Job and organizational #performance directly depend on behaviors, which can be measured. Need for better measurement? Talk to Kodo People :) Interesting perspective published by McKinsey & Company https://lnkd.in/dmqSHJgD

I spent an interesting evening hosted by Annapurna last night (5.9.24) talking with other People Professional about the hot topic of AI and it’s potential impact on HR,leadership and employee experience . As in all AI discussions it is fairly early days but it is moving fast. I think the conclusion was great potential, but having good base employee data in the first place is essential and of course be very careful how you use that data within AI. Maybe use embedded AI which is already being developed by the main HRIS and system providers first?. Be really clear with your teams why you may be introducing AI to alleviate fears and help adoption and maybe AI isn’t the answer to massive cost savings in all cases! As in all conversations about this subject still lots of questions but it can’t be ignored and companies who do will be left behind. My view is it should have the ability to remove low level mundane tasks from managers and leaders which will leave them more time to actually talk to their people, develop them support them and create higher performing teams. Thank you again Annapurna for the invite and great to see James Ballard , Daniel Smith Luca Vega Robyn Hunt-Williams Magnus Okuonghae and some amazing guests who I learnt lots from. The picture is a secret swimming pool at the #haymarkethotel amazing location! #AI

If only we had a magic wand… And then we realize that we don’t. So how do we solve problems/challenges because life has a strange way of throwing curve balls at us all the time? In the world today where thinking independently is encouraged, we should not underestimate the power for human knowledge, ingenuity, and community. On our own we may feel frustrated, isolated, overwhelmed by the problems facing us. But if we know where to look for help, and if we have the courage to ask for help, we will find that there is no problem without a solution. Our newsletter culminates the discussion on strategic problem solving we have been having in the month of May. We have taken an inspiration from the problem solving scale that educators use for children and created one for us adults. At The Bento Coach we believe that coaching is one such support each individual should have access to. And strategic problem solving is one topic we take pride in working with. Let us know what you think. https://lnkd.in/gAck_aMN #leadership #coaching #newsletter #strategicproblemsolving #growth echomaven

The first copies have arrived! Foreword: "It is with a deep sense of honor and humility that I accepted Szilvia's invitation to write the foreword for her latest book. This task is both a privilege and a challenge, as Szilvia's insightful perspectives often lead to introspection and thoughtful consideration, and I don’t always agree with her position (particularly in her love for Professor Jordan Peterson).   Throughout the time I have known her, Szilvia has consistently demonstrated a profound commitment to understanding of the intricacies of, and influences on, the employee experience, a topic close to my heart as a Chief People Officer. While her previous work, such as "The Corporate Kindergarten," may initially provoke apprehension with its provocative title, I found myself engrossed in its pages, even when our viewpoints diverged.   As HR leaders, we are no strangers to criticism of our practices. In this book Szilvia questions the status quo, prompting us to reevaluate outdated processes and focus on their fundamental purpose: benefiting employees. It is this dedication to meaningful change through honest and sometimes confrontational questions that sets her work apart and compels us to reevaluate our own positions.   Szilvia's book encourages readers to approach it with an open mind—a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse. Let us not shy away from challenging our assumptions or exploring new perspectives. The business landscape evolves rapidly, and our ability to adapt and improve hinges on our willingness to question, learn, and grow. Central to Szilvia's message is the indispensable value of our people. They are not merely resources but the lifeblood of our organizations. A thriving culture, rooted in respect, empowerment and advocacy for employees, is essential for sustainable success. This belief resonates deeply with me and underscores the pivotal role of Human Resources in shaping such environments.   In reflecting on Szilvia's journey, I am reminded of the courage required to champion what is right for our teams, even when it may not be the easiest path. Her unwavering advocacy for employees has been a guiding light, propelling her towards entrepreneurial endeavors and inspiring others to prioritize people-centric strategies.   In closing, I invite you to delve into Szilvia's insights with an open heart and a willingness to challenge conventional thinking. I hope her words ignite a passion for positive change and a renewed commitment to elevating the employee experience—a mission that defines (or should define) our shared purpose in the world of Human Resources. Even if you do not agree with her, evaluating your own perspective is never a missed opportunity."

Meet Eve, a brilliant leader who has unlocked the power of daily leadership practice with The Executive Edge! Eve, like many of us, understands that leadership is a journey, not a destination. She realized that waiting for crises to hit is a recipe for chaos and stress. But she decided to take a different path, one that's proactive, thoughtful, and transformative. 🌱 By committing to her daily leadership practice, Eve gained a profound sense of control. 🙌 She no longer had to wrestle with surprise challenges that pop up when stress levels are off the charts. She found clarity in the chaos and, as a result, makes decisions with confidence, not confusion. Eve's dedication to her practice wasn't just about self-improvement. It was about enhancing her team and her organization. She knows that effective communication is the key to preventing unnecessary chaos, and she knows how to navigate conversations with emotional mastery. As a result, Eve tapped into her existing leadership knowledge while boosting her emotional intelligence, elevating her influence within the organization. It's an absolute honor to have inspiring leaders like Eve in The Executive Edge. If you're ready to take control, make clear decisions, and prevent chaos with effective communication, just like Eve, join us on this incredible journey. Now is the time!
