Taste of TRUST -ology: LKNOW-DO-BE Gap
•
0 likes•262 views
This document discusses navigating change through building trust. It introduces the concept of a "KNOW-DO-BE Gap" that can create challenges during times of change. Bridging this gap involves being present, open, clear, vulnerable and connecting. This framework helps people work collaboratively by focusing on their vision for the future rather than the past. Building character and competence is key to developing trust, which is the missing link for effective change. The document prompts reflection on desired changes and next steps to explore building trust.

Simon Sinek - The golden circle - Start with the WHY
Every single organization on the planet, even our own careers, always function on three levels. What we do, How we do it and Why we do it.
When all those pieces are aligned, it gives us a filter through which to make decisions. It provides a foundation for innovation. When all three pieces are in balance, others will say, with absolute clarity and certainty,
“We know who you are,” “We know what you stand for.”
Whether they realize it or not, all great and inspiring leaders and organizations think, act and communicate just like each other…and it’s the complete opposite from everyone else.
CoPs: 00-Teachers, Non-Secret Agents of Change
This document discusses communities of practice (CoPs) and how teachers can become non-secret agents of change through CoPs. It explores how teachers often want to improve their surroundings but feel limitations in their roles, priorities, and potential for change. However, by joining CoPs, teachers can reflect on issues, devise practical ways to leave a legacy, and identify topics they can contribute to based on their strengths. The document also examines how teachers can choose to be more active "movers and shakers" by making changes happen within their jobs and viewing things with a fresh perspective. Ultimately, CoPs provide opportunities for teachers to do small parts that can make a big difference by connecting to colleagues and finding ways to address personal priorities

It outlines the AI process which includes Discover (learning about past successes), Dream (envisioning potential positive futures), Design (developing plans to achieve dreams) and Destiny (sustaining momentum for change). Examples are provided of provocative propositions that inspire change by describing an ideal future state in affirmative terms. The document aims to introduce participants to AI and guide them through an initial AI process focused on facilitation

Social Entrepreneurship Seminar 1
They think about maximizing social impact over profits.
How Do Social Entrepreneurs
Think Differently?
In summary, social entrepreneurs think differently than traditional entrepreneurs in the following key ways:
- They prioritize social/environmental mission over profits. Impact is the bottom line.
- They see markets primarily as a means to scale impact, not maximize income/returns. Price and value are determined based on benefiting stakeholders, not maximizing profits.
- Success is measured by social/environmental outcomes like lives improved, not just financial returns. Metrics track multiple bottom lines of people, planet and profits.
- Stakeholders include those benefiting from as well as investing in the venture
Keynote at the CIBC XX Design Challenge
This document challenges the reader to rethink traditional design approaches and assumptions. It advocates starting from a place of understanding human diversity and complexity rather than simplifying. The document suggests embracing uncertainty, continually improving rather than completing, focusing on marginalized groups, and questioning who benefits from current systems and measurements. It encourages allowing for difference, giving users agency, and reflecting on one's own biases. The overarching message is that inclusive design requires examining individual biases and changing methodological approaches.

Creative Mornings TO Inclusive
- Inclusive means considering the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human difference. Designing inclusively results in better experiences for everyone.
- Being inclusive is often uncomfortable and what makes us comfortable is frequently not inclusive. We must push ourselves outside our comfort zones to foster inclusiveness.
- Data-driven and measurable decisions can undermine inclusiveness if they do not consider the full diversity of people, including minorities. Inclusiveness requires qualitative considerations in addition to quantitative data.

Comunication & Storytelling for Product Managers (and anyone else)
Half-Day Interactive Workshop
“Get ready to actively participate in your transformation from product manager to product leader”
A product manager rarely has any authority beyond what they can talk people into, thus we need to become really strong communicators. In this half-day interactive workshop, we’ll look at the three kinds of communication: managing up, team communications, and the very important roadshow for getting other groups onboard with your vision. We will use the power of story for formal communication and a combination of techniques from NVC (Harvard’s negotiation project) and the GSB’s “touchy feely” class to make sure your message gets through, and that we are listening effectively.
This special half-day training workshop, with product author and lecturer, Christina Wodtke, is specifically designed for product managers who are looking to really level up their communications skills and who want to use story-telling to effectively communicate with others.
Design the Meeting Everyone is Eager to Attend
Effective meeting design is the artful expression of today’s creative leader. Thoughtful preparation is key to generating the results you want to create within your team, project, department, and organization.
Reports show that the average worker loses at much as 31 hours a month to unproductive meetings. That's four work days each month and that 1/2 of all meetings are unnecessary.
The multitasking environment of today often leaves little room for focusing on what’s important in organizing, designing, and leading effective meetings. Meeting leaders are often stymied in the land of overwhelm spinning on the hamster wheel of too many meetings, too little time, too little attention, and too few meaningful results. Futility and frustration permeate the collective response to meetings.
Sound familiar?
It doesn’t have to be this way.
You can make a difference. Try something new!
Move from disengaged time wasting meetings that frustrate and confuse to thoughtful meeting design that yield greater efficiencies, add clarity, engage everyone’s skills and talents, and build valuable contributions from you, your people, your projects, and the products and services you are working to deliver.
Learn innovative strategies to:
Engage every meeting participant to have greater impact
Improve performance

TRUST -ology March 2, 2012 Invitation rev a
The document discusses how change is difficult for many people due to a gap between what they know, what they do, and how they are able to be. This "know-do-be gap" can create barriers like isolation, overwhelm, misunderstanding and feeling stuck. Bridging this gap allows people to navigate change with less stress by moving from these barriers to collaboration, understanding, engagement, connection and movement. The document promotes a "trust-ology" framework and experience to help people navigate change by being present, open, clear, vulnerable and connecting, starting with trust.

- 4. Because many people don’t like change
- 5. YUCK!
- 6. and there is a gap between what we KNOW,
- 7. what we DO with what we know,
- 8. and our ability to BE.
- 10. When it comes to change this KNOW—DO—BE Gap often creates challenges like…
- 11. • Isolation • Overwhelm • Confusion • Low energy and motivation • Disconnection • Feeling stuck
- 12. As we bridge the KNOW—DO—BE Gap,
- 14. we are better able to navigate transition during times of change with less stress and greater ease.
- 15. YES!
- 16. What’s needed to bridge the KNOW—DO—BE Gap? And move from:

- 27. REMEMBER… Trust means confidence.…and is a function of two things: character and competence. Character includes your integrity, your motive, your intent with people. Competence includes your capabilities, your skills, your results, your track record. And both are vital. –Stephen M.R. Covey
- 29. …and helps people creating together, be who they truly are!
- 30. People creating together work in different ways. They are anchored in the future rather than the past, drawn forward by images of what they truly want to see exist in the world. They learn how to work with a distinctive source of energy that animates the creative process, the creative tension that exists whenever a genuine vision exists in concert with people telling the truth about what exists now. They learn how to let go of having to have everything worked out in advance and to step forth with boldness into immense uncertainty. And they learn that tapping these capacities cannot be achieved without people being who they truly are, and learning how to integrate their own lives. - Angeles Arrien
- 31. Think About… • What change do you truly wish to see? • What is your/the truth? • What are you willing to let go of? • What are you ready to make room for? • Who are you/will you be in this work?
- 32. got trust? Start change with TRUST -ology
- 33. What Next? • What is the most compelling change that is present in your life, family, organization and/or community at this time? • What’s possible if you invite and/or explore TRUST –ology? • What is your next important small step?
