Adam Grant, in a recent Atlantic article, says it best: “People Don’t Actually Know Themselves Very Well.” Do you agree? He argues that your coworkers are much better at rating aspects of your personality than you are. Studying thousands of people at work show that coworkers are more than twice as accurate when asked to assess how stable, dependable, friendly, outgoing and curious you are. In this workshop, we will give you an opportunity to solicit feedback in advance of the workshop, reflect on feedback you’ve received, and provide a safe and confidential environment to explore your blind spots. Those blind spots may be related to the way you see yourself as a manager or leader or perhaps how you think about intergenerational differences. We’ll discuss the importance of self-awareness and provide some tools to help you integrate new knowledge about yourself in practical ways at work.

Diversity is a critical issue for organizations. To devalue and exclude employees because they are different is to also place limitations on their contributions and ability to grow. At its best, diversity is a business strategy that has been shown to increase an organization’s ability to achieve better bottom-line performance and sustain its growth and prosperity.

Resilience Resilience is not only needed in the business wor.docxaudeleypearl
Resilience
Resilience is not only needed in the business world but in all areas of life. In “Developing Resilience—The
Most Important Soft Skills for Hard Times, Maree Harris, Phd. (n.d.) states, “Resilience is usually
associated with the ability to bounce back up after being knocked down, with responding positively and
proactively to any adversity”. In order to cultivate resilience, individuals must also possess or develop a
variety of other soft skills. Resilient people are able to see the worst tragedies and failures as challenges
to overcome and are able to use a growth mindset to overcome them. They are able to keep a positive
attitude about the situation and are able to see failure as lessons.
We often see those that we most admire as having resilience. For example, according to The
Academy of Achievement (n.d.), Oprah Winfrey overcame a childhood of poverty, abuse and racism, as
well as numerous career setbacks. Many individuals experience any one of Winfrey’s challenges but
because she possessed and continued to develop her resilience, she became the most successful black
woman in modern history. Those in the business world can learn from Winfrey and others like her that
they must find ways to come back from even the cruelest setback. Resilience is key in all areas of career
success, for job seekers as well as those looking to advance in their organization.
A resilient job seeker gains strength from receiving a rejection letter. They will use the information given
by the potential employer as a learning tool for the next application process and interview. They are able
to “bounce back” by seeing the experience as informative and strengthening, rather than defeating. In
“Resilience--Fall Seven Times, Stand up Eight,” Lei Han (n.d.) writes, “More than half of the battle in a job
search is actually the emotional aspect--thinking positive, staying in action, and ‘standing up’ when you
feel ‘knocked down’ by the lack of results”. Not getting hired by employers whom one wishes to work for
may cause one to question one’s own abilities and qualifications an/or perhaps how one is presenting
these abilities and qualifications, but a resilient individual will use that questioning process to return to the
job market as a stronger, more aware candidate A resilient job seeker will use each rejection as an
opportunity to build his or her “brand”.
When an individual finally does get hired by an organization, he or she must demonstrate resilience in
order to be successful in their career in that organization and beyond. In an advertising agency , for
example, an employee may be given a new client and may spend days developing an ad campaign only
to have the client reject the campaign or only to find that the campaign failed miserably. In this case, the
employee must be highly resilient must immediately begin redesigning the campaign so as to keep this
client’s business and to show their supervisor that they can ...

Keeping reserves for a “rainy day” is a good practice for all nonprofit institutions, but how much should your organization set aside? A percentage of annual budget? Three-to-six months?

4-25 18 Blind Spots: The Art of Self Awareness
1. BLINDSPOTS: THE ART OF SELF AWARENESS
Asking for Feedback
1. Be emotionally available for feedback: Remember that any feedback you receive is someone
else’s perception – Do your best to take it in, without being defensive.
2. Choose an ideal time to ask for feedback: Ascertain the best moment to ask for feedback.
What mood are they in? Do they have time to be thoughtful about feedback? How much do they
know about your work and how vested are they in your personal growth?
3. Offer your own observations first: Create an environment where the individual giving
feedback feels a sense of safety.
4. Ask for concrete examples: Ask for examples of behavior you have exhibited and what the
impact has been on your work and theirs. The people you are asking for feedback might not
know how to give feedback and you might need to provide them with some structure.
5. Give yourself time to process: You might not agree with the feedback that is shared with you;
reflect on what you’ve learned and decide whether it’s worthwhile for you to act on it, or not.
I Statement + Exploratory Conversations + Requests/Agreements
(When you…I feel…because… my need is…)
Giving Feedback
1. Ask for permission: People need to be available to take in feedback; if they aren’t interested
and aren’t capable to taking in the feedback, then it’s not the right moment.
2. Validate people’s value to your team/the org: Explain why you’re giving feedback – help
individuals understand how/why you’re invested in their future. Show that you personally care.
3. Level the playing field (if it feels appropriate): Share your own vulnerabilities and
demonstrate how feedback has helped you.
4. Avoid the Compliment Sandwich: Know that people brace themselves for negative feedback.
Create an environment to have an open and honest conversation.
5. Be concrete with your examples: Avoid subtleties and vague statements that aren’t grounded
in behavior you’ve seen or that aren’t directly tied to your work.
