How to be a True Business Partner

lundi 24 avril 2023 • Durée 52:09

In this episode, Donald H Taylor, chair of the Learning Technologies conference talks about a cluster of books by Nigel Harrison, which includes "How to be a True Business Partner by Performance Consulting," "Improving Employee Performance," and "How to Deal with Power and Manipulation by Performance Consultant." These books are important for Learning and Development professionals, and the Donald notes that Nigel Harrison has a background in Psychology, which he applies to the world of performance consulting. The books aim to help Learning and Development professionals have effective conversations about performance in the business and address gaps between current and ideal behavior as a proper business partner. One key idea is to ask more questions and not just take orders when organizing training.

The core of "How to be a True Business Partner" is a seven-stage process, which is deceptively simple and involves:

identifying the problem
involved parties
current situation
desired outcome
cost of the gap
causes
potential solutions
action plan.

We talk about the importance of building a trusted relationship with clients, which involves joint problem solving and challenging each other.

Tools of Titans

mardi 18 avril 2023 • Durée 45:06

Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss is a best-selling book that compiles the advice and insights from highly successful people to help readers improve their lives. Ferriss intended to write this book as a personal journal for himself. He wanted to collate all of the learnings from the people he had interviewed on his podcast. Instead as he began the project he decided it was too good to keep to himself. So he shares the wisdom he gained from interviewing hundreds of top performers, ranging from entrepreneurs, athletes, and celebrities to investors and artists.

The book is split into 3 main sections: Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.

Each chapter is no more than 4 or 5 pages and every chapter has a piece of advice you can action. Here are some of those:

Take care of your body: Exercise regularly and eat healthy food. This will give you more energy and make you feel good. According to Tim Ferriss, top performers prioritize their physical health as it affects their mental and emotional wellbeing. Exercise and healthy eating means different things to different people but there are broad strokes for how to get started and more nuanced details for some weird and wonderful techniques for fitness.

Set goals for yourself: This will help you stay motivated and focused. The book emphasizes the importance of goal setting, as it can help you prioritize what's important and achieve your desired outcomes. However goal setting by itself is not enough, you need to take massive action and you need systems to allow you to take that action.

Be mindful: Take time to be present in the moment and appreciate what you have. Practicing mindfulness and gratitude can help reduce stress and increase happiness, which are critical for success.

Be kind to others: Treat people the way you want to be treated. According to the book, successful people know the value of building meaningful relationships and making genuine connections with others. This is a no brainer. Build relationships above all else.

Don't be afraid to ask for help: It's okay to admit you don't know something and ask someone who does. Ferriss stresses the importance of seeking help from mentors and experts, which can accelerate your learning and growth.

Read books: Reading can teach you a lot and help you become a better person. Many top performers recommend reading as a way to gain knowledge and insights into a variety of subjects. I disagree slightly with this - reading is the first part, remembering it when you need it and finding opportunities to deliberately practice are when the real learning happens.

Winning

mercredi 12 avril 2023 • Durée 54:00

Winning is a book written by Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, which provides insights and advice on how to succeed in business and in life. The book is divided into four sections: Underneath It All, Your Company, Your Competition, and Tying Up Loose Ends.

Underneath It All: In this section, Welch emphasizes the importance of building a strong corporate culture that values honesty, integrity, and transparency. He encourages leaders to hire people with the right values, create a sense of ownership among employees, and foster an environment of continuous learning and development.

Your Company: Welch emphasizes the importance of defining a clear and compelling vision for the company and setting stretch goals that challenge the organization to continually improve. He encourages leaders to embrace change, take risks, and create a sense of urgency throughout the organization. Welch also stresses the importance of empowering employees and giving them the resources they need to succeed.

Your Competition: In this section, Welch encourages leaders to study their competition, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and use that knowledge to create a winning strategy. He emphasizes the importance of being customer-focused, using technology to gain a competitive advantage, and constantly looking for ways to improve.

Tying Up Loose Ends: In the final section, Welch discusses the importance of managing people effectively. He encourages leaders to give honest feedback, reward top performers, and address underperformance quickly. He also stresses the importance of building a diverse and inclusive organization that values different perspectives and experiences.

Here are some of the most actionable insights from the book:

Hire people based on their values, not just their skills and experience.
Create a culture of openness and transparency, where employees are encouraged to speak up and share their ideas.
Define a clear and compelling vision for the company, and set stretch goals to challenge the organization to continually improve.
Embrace change and create a sense of urgency throughout the organization.

The Psychology of Money

lundi 3 avril 2023 • Durée 01:10:15

One this episode we discuss the book 'The Psychology of Money' with the host of The Entrepreneur Experiment podcast Gary Fox. This book, written by Morgan Housel that explores the behavioral and psychological factors that influence our relationship with money. The book emphasizes that making good financial decisions is not just about understanding math or investing strategies, but also about understanding our own emotions, biases, and behaviors.

The book covers a wide range of topics related to money, including the importance of defining your own definition of financial success, the role of luck and risk in investing, and the power of compounding. The most actionable content from the book can be summarized as follows:

Focus on your own goals and values: Rather than trying to keep up with the Joneses or follow the latest investment fad, focus on your own goals and values. Define what financial success means to you and create a plan to achieve it.
Embrace humility: Acknowledge that luck plays a significant role in financial outcomes and that no one has all the answers when it comes to investing. Adopt a humble attitude and be open to learning from your mistakes.
Be patient: Wealth is built over the long term through consistent savings and investing. Avoid chasing short-term gains and focus on the power of compounding over time.
Understand your own biases: We all have biases that influence our financial decisions, such as overconfidence or loss aversion. Recognize these biases and try to avoid making decisions based solely on emotion.
Keep it simple: Avoid complex investment strategies and stick to simple, diversified portfolios. Minimize fees and expenses and focus on the fundamentals of investing.

Overall, The Psychology of Money offers a unique perspective on personal finance that emphasizes the importance of understanding our own emotions, biases, and behaviors when it comes to money. By adopting a long-term mindset, embracing humility, and focusing on our own goals and values, we can make better financial decisions and achieve greater financial success.

Essentialism

mardi 28 mars 2023 • Durée 01:09:09

In this episode we talk to Mark Skinner, Head of Learning and Development, Food Drink Ireland, Ibec about the book 'Essentialism' a self-help book by Greg McKeown that offers a framework for achieving greater success and fulfilment by simplifying and prioritizing one's life. The book argues that in a world where we are constantly bombarded by demands, distractions, and opportunities, it is essential to focus on what truly matters and to eliminate everything else.

McKeown argues that essentialism is not about doing more, but doing less, better. He outlines a four-step process for becoming an essentialist:

Explore and evaluate: identify what is truly important and what is not;
Eliminate: remove the non-essential activities, tasks, and commitments that do not align with your goals and values;
Execute: focus on the essential tasks with clarity and discipline; and
Evaluate: regularly review your progress and adjust your priorities as needed.

Throughout the book, McKeown provides practical advice and real-life examples of how essentialism can be applied in various areas of life, such as work, relationships, and personal growth. He also emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, saying "no" to requests and opportunities that do not align with your priorities, and creating space for rest and reflection.
