The nature of mentoring in the enterprise has changed, largely thanks to the advent of social technologies being implemented in business settings that allow for meaningful connection, interaction, collaboration, and coaching online. This has allowed enterprises to scale their mentoring efforts, enabling many-to-many rather than one-to-one or one-to-many mentoring relationships. These technologies also provide greater visibility for leaders and human resources to see standout performance and contributions from employees who might otherwise be overlooked. This presentation outlines the trends and technologies that are enabling mentoring to evolve in the workplace and the process for igniting this change in your own.
The #1 Reason Why Sales Coaching is Critical to your 2022 Sales SuccessAggregage

For years, manufacturing companies have been striving towards enterprise excellence throughout their organizations utilizing the philosophy, thinking and tools of lean. There are two basic pillars of lean including continuous improvement tools, and respect for people. There has been a very strong focus on the continuous improvement tools (kaizens, value stream mapping, A3 problem solving, 5S, cells/flow, setup reduction, etc.) with very little emphasis on respect for people. Businesses struggle with understanding the skills and abilities of leadership at every level of the organization required to inspirationally lead towards excellence.
As a result of the combination of the process initiatives over the past 100 years, seven out of eight people report leaving their jobs each day feeling that they work for a company that does not care about them. People are disengaged and unenthusiastic about their work resulting in huge losses of productivity to the entire organization.
Recently, the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), the premier not-for-profit organization dedicated to the journey of continuous improvement and enterprise excellence, invited Barry-Wehmiller to partner with them in addressing the challenges facing manufacturing today. Together they hope to lead the way in transforming manufacturing companies through adoption of people-centric leadership practices. Their vision is to ignite a manufacturing renaissance driven by people-centric leadership coupled with enterprise excellence.

4 Reasons CEOs Struggle to Align Employee Goals to Corporate StrategyKhorus
As CEO, your job is to ensure your company is profitable. If your employees aren’t sure how their job contributes to that purpose, you might be fighting an uphill battle. Getting your employees on the same page with the executive team starts with recognizing where the breakdown is occurring. As they say, the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem.
One of the most revealing metrics in determining if your employees understand their purpose is if they can answer the simple question, “What is it you do every day and how does that affect why we exist?” If not, it’s likely due to a lack of communication from the top down – that means you. This eBook can serve as a wakeup call for any CEO wondering how they can get the most out of their employees and ensure everyone is working towards the corporate vision.

Many companies today strive to be “thought leaders,” but only a select few truly live up to that aspiration. Thought leadership requires a unique point of view, the ability to provide valuable information, and a layered approach to disseminating that information. For the few companies who achieve it, thought leadership is proven to drive long-term and higher-value customer relationships and increase brand affinity and loyalty.
Stacey King Gordon of Suite Seven led a workshop during LoyaltyExpo 2014 in Orlando, Florida. The workshop explored what makes a thought leader, best practices for thought leadership, and how to develop a publishing and content strategy to help companies grow into true thought leaders — helping with everything from navigating internal politics to prioritizing resources.
How do you build a social organization? We're not talking about tweeting and posting updates on Facebook. We're talking about an organization that collaborates internally using an enterprise social network (ESN). An ESN is an internal platform designed to foster collaboration, communication, and knowledge sharing among employees.
If your company doesn’t use an ESN, consider more than 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies partially or fully implemented an enterprise social network by the end of 2013, according to Deloitte analysis. This is a 70 percent increase over 2011.
We live in an age where marketing has been undergoing radical changes at such a rate that we’re still developing the best ways to accomplish work successfully. Each of the major aspects of digital marketing has developed in their own silos. Now we can gain enormous economies and efficiencies through more internal collaboration and by tearing down those silos.
In this webinar, our panelists will share:
-Company cultures that support information sharing and collaboration.
-How to identify which business areas can benefit from increased communication.
-Tips on choosing software for your company’s, department’s, and team’s needs.
-Social networks aimed at businesses.
-Ways to improve participation in enterprise social networks.

Recruiting is a social act, so what's so new about Social Recruiting? Aside from the numerous articles from blogging pundits, what is the real potential for social recruiting in the enterprise and just how widespread is it? Finally, what benefits does a recruiting program that entails social media outreach accrue? In this talk, Todd Nilson of 7 Summits, one of the top 20 social media agencies in the United States, will offer some ready-to-use ideas from how to get started with a social recruiting program, from eliciting executive sponsorship to what key performance metrics can be used to justify the program.
Communicating an employer’s brand entails a lot more than merely having a careers page on your website and a LinkedIn company profile. All companies have a story to tell, not only about their products and services, but also about why they’re a great (or terrible) place to work. These stories sometimes lurk in the “below the surface” world of word-of-mouth, namely the mouths of employees, of ex-employees, of investors, and of executives. But companies can no longer afford to allow these stories to remain part of the enterprise’s collective subconscious. An employer brand disconnected from the companies other marketing messages, or worse yet ignored, represents real risk that can be experienced as an ever-increasing difficulty when it comes to attracting, hiring and retaining talented employees.
In this presentation, Todd Nilson, a 15-year recruiting consultant and social media strategist, will outline some leading practices for an effective employer branding approach:
* Getting started or Cultural Anthropology for Business
* Laying out your employer brand strategy
* Considerations for integrating your employer brand with your overall marketing and branding efforts
* Matching up your social media campaigns with word of mouth marketing
* Revving up your Careers Pages for maximum effect
* Your active and passive digital employer brand
* Metrics, measurement and accountability for your employer branding
Engage! Your Employer Brand Strategy via Social MediaTodd Nilson
Where has all the top talent gone? In the past, the people we wanted to hire for our companies were plentiful and easy to find. Lately, their skills are all wrong, and keeping the talent we already have is harder and harder as well. It may seem counterintuitive to look to social media marketing and branding for the answers, but at its heart, HR and social media are both about relationships. During this session, the managing director of social and talent strategies at an IT professional services firm will help you build a strategic framework for social media planning. You'll find out how to define your employer brand, ways to perform and employer brand audit on social media, what a social careers page can do to energize your company's reputation, and how to measure the success of your employer branding efforts to command the attention of your company's C-suite executives.
Career Changer Mindset, Strategy, Branding and Execution: Getting Your Ducks ...Todd Nilson
Making a career change is anything but child’s play. The soul searching involved with making a decision to change one’s livelihood is complicated by the challenges of learning new skills, going back to school, and being reconciled to accepting what’s often a lower salary to get started in a different profession. But the tools and means to make a new you have never been more readily at hand. An embarrassment of riches are available for the career changer who knows how to look.
In this talk, Todd Nilson will present the potential and pitfalls of managing your job search as a career changer. This will not be a session about how to write a resume but will be a presentation-and-discussion format seminar that will address the underlying concerns of taking on a new career path along with the tools and techniques that can bring you to the attention of a new employer or help you to reposition yourself as the entrepreneur you always dreamed of becoming.
In this presentation, you will learn:
• How to get mentally prepared for a career change: three essential mindsets
• Ways to better understand the careerscape you’re entering
• Designing a transition plan that works which defines your goals and the people who will help you to achieve them
• How to stay on target during the search
To be successful with social media, you need a plan. In this presentation, I review a framework strategy approach that aligns the business strategy and goals with social media activities and keeps those activities accountable via analytics and key performance metrics. This deck was presented at the BMA Chicago breakfast series on May 16, 2012.
Enterprise view of social media: Collaboration, Jetpacks and Ray Guns!Todd Nilson
Despite the wondrousness of Facebook and LinkediIn, these social networks and other tools like Wikipedia, YouTube and Twitter are pretty much a matter of course for us as individual users. But enterprises find themselves in a quandary, mostly because of access and security issues that using an open tool like these would entail. In the past few years, we've seen the rise of another category or layer of social media tools the emulate social media for consumers but are attempting to bridge the gap, addressing the concerns of the enterprise.
Okay, so i'll be talking about Yammer, SharePoint, NewsGator, etc. The problem is that these are old as dirt! They are not nearly as advanced as what's out on the front lines now. how can I start interacting as effectively with my work colleagues as I can my friends on Facebook? When there is a layer of security, what can I do to ensure collaboration within the enterprise on work projects?

IT market overview national & wisconsinTodd Nilson
This presentation collects information about the information technology jobs sector from a variety of sources. The data reflects supply and demand around technical talent both nationally and, more specifically, in the Wisconsin and Milwaukee markets.

AbilITy Connection provides mentoring, advocacy and IT employment opportunities to qualified people with disabilities. Learn more about AbilITy Connection at http://www.abilityconnection.org.
While the essential elements of the job search have remained the same, technological innovation and forces of economic instability have combined to change the way job searches must be conducted.
Social media branding for organizationsTodd Nilson
Building an effective social media presence does not start with creating a blog or Twitter profile. Businesses that are serious about and committed to a social media approach that serves the business need to create a roadmap that begins with an understanding of audience, goals, what will be said, and what will be measured... a Social Solution Suite.
Personal branding for tech executives v2.1Todd Nilson
This is a revised version of my earlier presentation about personal brand management approaches for technology executives. The lessons are pretty broadly applicable to any job seeker but some of the data points are specifically about CIO's and CTO's.
Economic instability combined with the evolution of the roles and expectations of technology leadership make it more important than ever for tech executives to take advantage of the tools and techniques available via social media for promoting their individual personal brands. This presentation explores the questions to ask yourself before embarking in the use of these tools to enhance your career.

"With a small
group mentoring
each other, you
get the kind of
deep feedback
that won't
happen in a
roomful of
people."
"I wanted someone
outside my
department to bounce
ideas off of. Not to
criticize my group, but
we often think alike. I
needed outside
perspective."

19. Social Mentoring
Growing talent is the creation and cultivation
of a climate that provides opportunities to try
out skills, exposed to progressive challenges,
given training and study opportunities,
management and leadership tasks
- Hesselbein and Beckhard, The Leader of the Future, 1996
21. Mentoring has changed
Social technologies enable greater breadth of
secondary mentors drawn from manager,
peers, competitors, friends and even family
And it is
no longer
one-way!
22. Mentoring has changed
Mentoring not limited to the organization but
often comes from outside and is informal
(e.g. Coursera, LinkedIn groups, Twitter ... even HR conferences)
24. Walk Slowly
• Slow down to connect
• Express that you care
• Create a healthy balance of personal and
professional interest
• Pay attention when people start avoiding you
25. Everyone is a 10
• See them as who they can become
• Let them borrow your belief in them
• Catch them doing something right
• Realize that 10 has many definitions
26. Develop them
• See development as a long-term process
• Discover the dreams and desires of each person
• Use organizational goals for individual
development
• Help them know themselves
• Celebrate the right wins
• Teach them how to do it then make them
do it
28. Model the behaviors
• Your behavior determines the culture
• Your attitude determines the atmosphere
• Your investment determines the return
• Your character determines the trust
• Your work ethic determines the productivity
• Your growth determines the potential
29. How do I start modeling
the behaviors?
How do I put my
organization on a path to
enabling social tools for
the enterprise?

history have been great communicators,
yet the vast majority of modern day
CEOs and C-Suite executives are
conspicuously absent from social media
channels.

34. Online vs. Traditional
Traditional Leadership
• Establish a vision
• Share a vision
• Provide knowledge
• Balance interests
• Step up in times of crisis
• Formal mentoring model
Translated to Online
• Talk about your POV with
others
• Connect with stakeholders,
influencers, like-minded
• Produce your own content,
share that of others related to
your POV
• Transparency, generosity,
trustworthiness, share vision
• Build an engaged following
who will listen and share
when needed
• Informal mentoring model
35. Remaking Yourself
Becoming an effective social mentor requires
changing your own attitudes and habits toward
social tools
– Drop the stigma
– Recognize the value
– Translate your strengths into the online medium
– Emerge from so-called dark social media to open
– Make time to model the behaviors of sharing and
transparency (Working Out Loud)
