LEARNING MOMENTS: Organization & Business Responsibility SHIFTS!

Inspiring Innovations Learning Moments Logo

Too often traditional… “We have always done it this way” operational practices stand in the way of progressive process upgrades in the workplace. You know what I mean. The “if it’s not broken… why do we need to fix or change anything” leadership/management standardized approach to change… RIGHT?!

Well this month’s Inspiring Innovations LEARNING MOMENTS podcast: Organization & Business Responsibility SHIFTS! is simply about realigning traditional operational activities to obtain greater employee workplace ownership and more diverse leadership opportunities. Keep in mind because of my self-imposed podcast time limits only two basic examples are discussed. However, the hope is to open doors in every workplace regarding the short- and long-term benefits of engaging new Organization & Business Responsibility SHIFTS!

This month’s Inspiring Innovations LEARNING MOMENTS podcast is all about suggesting a common sense TOP 10 list of QUALITY NEGOTIATION concepts. As you listen think about your negotiation experiences with clients/customers/co-workers… and consider if one or all of the TOP 10 could have helped!

Sometimes advancing professional development pushes you to go back to the basics. This month’s podcast Meeting Preparation… is all about that journey.

Whether it is appropriately AGENDA SHARING   in our transparent times… or strategically building Meeting Preparation OWNERSHIP… improving in these areas is just progress necessary.

Finally, although TIME MANAGEMENT is necessary, and even critical in our over-informational world… prioritizing it in every Meeting Preparation moment is solid common sense.

LEARNING MOMENTS Podcast: Global Citizenship

The Cambridge English Dictionary defines Global Citizenship as follows:

“The idea that you should show loyalty and support for the world as a whole as much as for the particular country in which you live.”

Whether it’s the steady advances of technological information-sharing… or the increasing number of global, world-wide impacting issues; the need for everyone to realize their Global Citizenship status is a growing priority.

In the podcast you will hear me state that Global Citizenship is NOT part of my standard LEARNING MOMENTS discussion-ist topic areas. However when you listen closely to my rationalization for this podcast message… I hope you too understand it’s all citizens value.

Enjoy the listen.

LEARNING MOMENTS Podcast: “As Much Advice As Possible”

This month’s Inspiring Innovations LEARNING MOMENTS podcast topic: As Much Advice As Possible”… seems to carry a common sense, natural decision-making recommendation action. However, if people take a quick assessment of the steps they take to make a decision on a major issue, their resulting process may not be as “natural” as we would think.

President John F. Kennedy has helped me form this month’s podcast message. Based on the information contained in a book entitled “Undelivered”, I was able to glean a great assembly of rationales for obtaining As Much Advice As Possible” to make every decision one makes as good as it can be!
