Coaching Lgbt Professionals In The Workplace TranscriptTom Floyd
In 31 states, you can be fired for being gay. In the states where you cannot be fired for being gay, states came up with new legislation making it illegal to fire someone based on sexual orientation.
In this program, our guests discuss how politics and business intersect on this issue.
Our panel discusses the challenges LGBT professionals are facing in the workplace, and types of issues coaches can help address to ensure sexual orientation isn’t a factor in forging a successful career.
Guests

* Daryl Herrschaft, Director, HRC Workplace Project, Human Rights Campaign Foundation
* Kate Karasmeighan, Chief of Staff, Director of Affiliate Relations, National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce

Summary
In the June 22nd 2007 issue of CondeNaste magazine Portfolio, author David Koeppel writes “The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community has huge buying power and a large disposable income. Companies realize that portraying a gay friendly workplace and marketplace go hand-in hand.”
However within many organizations LGBT professionals continue to experience anxiety, fear, stress, and even harassment at work.
According to Echelon magazine, issues impacting LGBT professionals range from fear in being fired based on their sexual orientation or gender identity to stress in discussing personal relationships and including same sex partners at workplace events.
Can LGBT professionals survive “coming out at work?
Does advocating and supporting a gay friendly workplace have an impact on both company and individual performance?
Our panel of experts answer these questions and more.

Jim Collins' book Good to Great has been around awhile, but the principles are still valid. When someone speaks about "changing the system," this is the first step along that path.
Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't is a management book by James C. Collins that aims to describe how companies transition from being average companies to great companies and how companies can fail to make the transition.
How top-tier companies disintegrate, rapidly altered his intended trajectory. Collins knows a good idea when it latches its hooks into his mind. He’s the author of one of the most referenced and celebrated business “must-reads” of the last 30 years, Good to Great. If that book chronicled the arduous trek to the zenith of the business world, How the Mighty Fall stands on the shadowy side of the mountain, where businesses tumble down at varying rates of speed and terror.
The strange coincidence concerning Collins’ book is that its creation occurred largely before the 2008 global economic apocalypse. Fearing accusations of an attempt to capitalize on the current financial crisis, Collins is quick to assert that How the Mighty Fall is not about Wall Street, nor are its observations confined to the latter half of this decade.
A presentation given on how to move your company/department from good to great. Borrows heavily from the theory of Jim Collins.

Stop Talking About Innovation!
We need to limit the use of the word and the term “innovation” and we need to ban the term “innovation culture” entirely.
This is the radical outset for a keynote or a session in which Stefan Lindegaard challenges common beliefs on innovation, explain why most companies fail with their efforts to become more “innovative” and share insights on how to build the capabilities that can help companies and organizations survive and prosper in these times of fast change and strong disruption.
The key messages:
- Focus on corporate transformation and digitalization – or die!
- Link your efforts to the challenges of your stakeholders and increase your ROI
- Work with the unusual suspects; internally as well as externally
- Focus on people, people and people – and upgrade their mindset and skills
- Learn to communicate better and differently – or fail!

Agency of the future - beginning the transformation journey42medien
There is a need for some agencies to re-frame the way they look at their need to evolve. Instead of the default thinking being "we need to implement X technology, hire/fire Y person or merge Z departments" they should start asking, "what is really defining the problem space we are now in and what will be the major factors of change moving forward". Only from this point, can a relevant and grounded future be established.
Here you get the latest of my presentations where I share messages such as:
“We need to rethink the term “innovation” and we should drop the term “innovation culture” entirely.”
“Four global megatrends drive business today: Everything moves faster, everything will be connected, knowledge is transparent and disruption hits harder and faster.”
“Getting ideas and working with them in the early stages is the easier part. The execution is what really matters. We have begun the transition phase.”
“The role of the CTO has changed as real value creation no longer is centered around technology or product itself. Services, processes and business models are key. The internal power needs to shift.”
“Disruption hits much harder and much faster than ever before. You can’t plan for disruptive or radical innovation, but you can be sure you will be disrupted.”
“Don’t talk about innovation. Focus on how you can transform your company based on values, assets, partners, threats and opportunities.”
“The organizational structures need to change. They are not build for the upcoming challenges and opportunities and we need to experiment much more on what will work the best for the future of business.”
“Strong organizations do four things very well: They listen, adapt, experiment and execute better than their competitors.”
“There is no digital strategy. Just strategy in a digital world.”
“If you want to change the perception inside your organization, the outside voice is the most important.”
“People first, processes next, then ideas. The key for execution is people – don´t focus too much on ideas and projects.”
“Discovery – Incubation – Acceleration: Have the right people for the right project at the right time in the right context. Build people pools, not just project pools.”
“Strong change teams know they can´t do it by themselves; they become facilitators and integrators. Education is a key objective.”
…and a short story that I really like:
“A CFO is wary about investing in the training and education of the employees.
He asks the CEO: ”What happens if we invest in developing our people and then they leave our company?”
The CEO is a bright person and replies: ”What happens if we don’t and they stay?”
As CEO, you and only you can lead culture change in your business. Get it right and you’ll reap the rewards–for your company’s growth, for the bottom line, and for employee engagement. Get it wrong and it’s your reputation on the line.
In times like these it is more important than ever to get the most out of our investment in HR Capital. Taking different cultural backgrounds into account will increase motivation, reduce turnover, and help keep your best people.
Managers can be more effective in coping with the global economic crisis if they simplify the way they manage their staff, taking into account the different cultural backgrounds of their team members and the different cultures in which their business operates. Global practices need to be adapted to local cultural values to increase efficiency.
People are fed up with innovation so we need to tone down the use of the word and the term “innovation” - and we need to ban the term “innovation culture” entirely.
This is the radical outset for this session in which Stefan Lindegaard challenges common beliefs on innovation, explain why most companies fail with their efforts to become more “innovative” and share insights on how to build the capabilities that can help companies and organizations survive and prosper in these times of fast change and strong disruption.

Designing Adaptive Careers - The Talent Canvas
As presented at Better Sotware 2015 in Florence
Why a career should not be considered an evolutionary process, that requires constant feedback in order to develop talent and skills, while fits in a even more liquid company culture?
HR Management's traditional approach is proving increasingly inadequate to the shifting environment of modern companies. HR departments are based on practices that fails to adapt to our ever-changing scenario. Professionals and companies both need to be able to reinvent themselves...
The Adaptive Career is a set of conversation design tools aiming to enpower our approach to career development. It will be useful to anyone involved in HR management and team leading, but also small teams and entrepreneurs. It's focused on transparency and motivation, and it has been designed to gain mutual support and commitments about evolutionary careers.
