Working with Mentors and Investors
Mentors can help entrepreneurs avoid mistakes and accelerate their startup's development by providing smart advice from experience. The mentors available through this program include experienced entrepreneurs, VCs, and subject matter experts. It's important for entrepreneurs to clearly communicate with their mentors, keep them updated on decisions and outcomes, and thoughtfully consider but not necessarily agree with all advice, as the entrepreneur must make the final decisions. The program offers various types of mentors for different needs, including ad-hoc experts, lead mentors for intensive biweekly meetings, and partners available for consultation. Entrepreneurs should strategically utilize different mentors depending on their startup's stage and needs.
Creating a Culture of Volunteer Engagement
It's important to create a culture of inclusion and engagement of volunteers within your organization. But, it can be hard to recognize what your current culture says to volunteers, or identify how to make changes to help volunteers feel more welcome. This webinar will help you identify how your organization's current culture is shaping or limiting what volunteers do, and provide steps you can take to start to create more understanding, respect, and appreciation for engaging volunteers.
Desigining Virtual Opportunities, Managing Remote Volunteers
Cost:
Free
Designing meaningful, mission-driven virtual volunteer opportunities, and managing remote volunteers can be challenging. How do you create work than can be done independently, and still supervise, evaluate, or recognize the work of a volunteer you never meet face to face? The good news is that now, with an ever growing set of online tools, building an online community and connecting with someone across miles (or continents) is easier. In this webinar we will discuss best practices for creating those opportunities and developing meaningful relationships with remote volunteers, including building and empowering remote teams, managing projects by letting go but not checking out, and creating a two-way communication plan to share the work of remote volunteers with the organization and share what's happening at the organization with remote volunteers.

Till now, companies have poured billions into collaborative office spaces, but due to the current circumstances, they are forced to look at alternatives.
Let us check out some simple yet powerful ways to promote teaming and collaboration.
Re=Energize Your Volunteer Program: Creating Mission-Driven Opportunities
This document discusses how to transition volunteer programs from being "nice to have" resources to being key components of an organization's success. It recommends focusing on volunteers' motivations rather than just thanking them, and including impact in recognition. Opportunities should be designed to create an emotional connection to the mission and emphasize outcomes over tasks. The organization should understand stakeholders' perspectives on volunteer value and share stories of volunteer impacts. Pilot programs can start small by learning what matters to volunteers and incorporating outcomes into role descriptions and conversations.
ProInspire- Developing Your Career Narrative
Developing Your Career Narrative discusses the importance of having a clear career narrative and provides tips for creating an effective narrative. It explains that listeners want to understand if they can trust the person, if the story makes sense, and if the person seems likely to succeed. It recommends that an effective narrative have five key elements - clarity about what you want, commitment to explaining why you want it, connection to who you are, credibility from your experience, and convincing reasons why someone should help you. The document provides questions to help craft each element and emphasizes the importance of regularly updating your narrative and tailoring it for different audiences like in a job search. It also encourages sharing your narrative with others for feedback and advice.
A Guide to Employee Appreciation
Employee Appreciation Day occurs once every year in March, but recognizing employee achievements with special events and celebrations should be a year-round mission. Our eBook, A Guide to Employee Appreciation, gives managers and team leaders tips on comfortably planning a celebration, as well as specific event ideas.
Reverse mentoring ppt
Reverse mentoring is a social exchange tool where older executives are paired with and mentored by younger employees. It helps bridge the gap between baby boomers and millennials by keeping boomers engaged and millennials committed. Reverse mentoring provides benefits to both mentors and mentees. Mentees gain advice on technology and insights into younger generations, while mentors learn about the virtual world and gain a fresh perspective from their mentees. Several case studies show companies using reverse mentoring to foster cross-generational learning and strengthen bonds between different age groups in the workplace.
Improving Job Seeker Outcomes with the G.R.O.W. Coaching Model
The document discusses using coaching to improve job seeker outcomes. It presents the GROW model for coaching sessions, which includes setting Goals, understanding the current Reality, exploring Options, and committing to action in the Will stage. Coaching provides structure, feedback, and emotional support for job seekers. The benefits of coaching include empowering job seekers and increasing their self-efficacy and skills. Tools like goal-setting, daily questions, challenges, experiments, and group coaching sessions are recommended.
VolunteerMatch Best Practices for Recruiting Online

How to Create Job Descriptions
The document discusses rethinking job descriptions to better manage expectations up front. It suggests focusing job descriptions on core values, competencies, behaviors, and culture rather than minute task details. An example is provided of Hilton Worldwide's job description that emphasizes their key values of hospitality, integrity, leadership, teamwork and ownership over specific tasks. The document also provides a lengthy sample list of potential competencies for a specific position and notes the behaviors that will be most important for an organization's success.

Understanding Soft Risk in Volunteer Engagement
Volunteer engagement often focuses on hard risks: accidents, past bad behavior, or access to confidential information. While these risks are real we often overlook the soft risks that also jeopardize the success and sustainability of volunteer engagement. This session will look at the soft risks associated with engaging volunteers including: “word of mouth” reputation, interactions on social media, lack of training being responsible for inaccurate information being given out, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers, the volunteer engagement program, and the organization up to risk. Attendees will learn to identify these soft risks in their own program through examples, modeled interactions, & learnings from the HR and for-profit sectors, and develop a plan to mitigate the effects on their organization. Attendees will leave with a Soft Risk worksheet as well as action plan for addressing soft risk in recruiting, screening and training volunteers.
Becoming a Fierce Leader
This document discusses becoming a fierce leader. It begins by outlining the importance of leadership and discussing different leadership styles such as authentic leadership, level 5 leadership, and fierce leadership. It then defines coaching as a process that supports personal growth and decision making. Using a coaching approach involves adopting a mindset of believing in others, being curious, and earning trust, as well as developing listening and feedback skills. Finally, it discusses fierce conversations as a way to have more open and meaningful discussions and outlines traits of fierce leadership such as surrounding yourself with good people and paying attention to your emotional impact.

Student One LW:
Hi Class,
I really enjoyed this class it has given me the opportunity to see the different types of management styles that are out there. Along with being a strong leader one must also have a great team in place. A great leader can not do all the work to be successful. Showing respect, compassion, and letting employees share there ideas is just a few of the ways Indra Nooyi leads her employees. It was interesting to see how she brought her vision for PepsiCo to life even when everyone thought she was crazy that a soft drink company should have healthier snacks and beverages. Believing that companies should give back to the communities, the planet, and underdeveloped countries are just a few reasons that I believe she is a great leader. Nooyi's beliefs that you should always continue to learn even when your at the top is another reason she is a great leader, she doesn't believe she knows everything already. I am really glad I choose her as a leader to report about, she is an inspiration to us all.
For me I have found out after taking the Clifton Survey that my five top themes are that I am a relator, responsibility, achiever, futuristic, and input. I believe these treats are true to me, I feel that I want to mentor people to be the best for people. This class has given me a road map on the way I want to lead once I am in that position. I see that a lot of traits Nooyi has, I also have. I know I wont be a great as she is, but I know that I will have the background to get me close.
Good luck to everyone I really enjoyed reading about all of the leaders.

Student Two AO:
I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge this term and thoroughly enjoyed this journey! Based on my research I do believe I possess some positive leadership characteristics and abilities. Actually the more I learned and the more we progressed, the more I saw my professional role in a new light. Knowing now that leaders need to create passion and compassion, knowing I should show gratitude and express it to the team or individuals, or even knowing that the actual layout of an office can have an effect on productivity and company morale, really empowered me to act! I have been able to observe and analyze what my leaders are doing and how I should or shouldn't follow their example.
Indra Nooyi was a kind, thoughtful, driven, confident, humble, and knowledgable leader who gained those abilities throughout her life. In the final paragraphs of my final milestone, I discuss how I strongly feel our lives influence our leadership abilities as much as our embedded genetics. Individuals who have had the opportunity to play organized sports learne ...

I really want to interview him for a couple reasons. First, he is a very well known businessman in my country and I’m very lucky to have this opportunity to talk to him. I also think it is a great way of networking and getting to know him more. He built himself from zero, so sharing his story and experience and leadership style will help and inspire young people. Al-Saleh has been supporting youth for a long time and developed several programs and initiatives for youth, which I personally aiming to reach his leadership level one day.
Question 1: Let me begin by asking you about your background?
I learned a lot from my parents, my father worked in the government sector for over than 40 years as a manager of public relations in the Ministry of Health. My mother worked as a school leader. I have five siblings, four are Doctors and Computer Engineers, and I’m the only one who specialized in Finance. I started by working on vacations when I was in high school. One of my neighbors who worked as a Regional Director in Al-Ahli Bank recommended me to work in the bank with a salary US300/month. I then attended Engineering school after my father request, but I failed. I then transferred to Finance and Accounting, which helped my moving foreword with my part-time job in the bank. The turning point was when I moved to the British Bank where I had the chance to get into many advanced curses and intensive training in the field of banking. I had a remarkable experience where I applied it by implementing them in several European countries. I learned how people make their money, and this is where I started investing in local and international stock markets.
My current job is providing financial advisory and financial planning services to companies, institutions, businessmen and community leaders, which I have great relations with.
Question 2: What leadership means to you?
Leadership means to me currently is to influence young people to be leaders. I am dedicating my life now to give youth the power to make decisions, helping them find their goals and work to achieve them, as well as helping them to understand their purpose and our purpose as an organization.
Question 3: How did you reach to your current job now?
I worked in the Banking sector and I built myself until I finally reached to being the Regional Director for the Central Region and a General Manager of the Bank for Private Banking Services. Banks are important areas of work; they increase knowledge and the balance of financial culture.
Question 4: What strengths do you believe you have as a leader? And how does it contribute to your current success?
I would say my greatest strength is patience, which I believe young adults lack the necessary persistence. I want to say somethin.

Thank You Mentors who pushed me to the right direction
- 1. Published on LinkedIn. Aug 11, 2015. Thank You Mentors who pushed me in the right direction! By Rash Khan (https://au.linkedin.com/in/rashkhan1) LinkedIn started a trend asking professionals to tell stories about their mentors. I couldn’t help but jump on the bandwagon as I have had five great mentors to be grateful to. These gentlemen have had profound impact on my growth as a leader over the years. What makes them Awesome Mentors is that they taught me ‘how to fish’ as opposed to ‘helping me catch one’. They asked great questions and at times acutely confronting ones to help me ascertain my own resolve. They made me realize I have always had the answers within me, I just didn’t know how to bring it out. I grew confident as they helped me learn about myself and build my capabilities more than many ways I could think of. However, I remained humble as I realized I have so much to learn when I had exposure to their combined 130+ years of experience and knowledge. This article is an expression of gratitude towards them and to share some key teachings from them that helped me grow as a leader. Early days in my career as a leader, Josh Mclean, Digital Executive Manager at Suncorp challenged me with the brutal fact that I was lacking emotional intelligence. That was extremely confronting and the career defining learning for me because I realized without self-awareness, self-regulation and most importantly empathy I was never going to be the leader I aspired to be. My journey to become an emotionally intelligent leader continues to date. Bruce Weir, Director at BKW Consulting, taught me about cost of not trusting. He drilled into my head the importance of trust and shared his experiences with me that demonstrated amazing things people had achieved around him when they were trusted. He also challenged me to speak slowly as I tend to speak very fast which makes it hard for people to follow and my message can be lost. Stuart Stoddart, Veteran Executive and Coach, taught me about simplified process design, structured governance to drive desired business outcome and most importantly power of storytelling to help people connect the dots & see the big picture. Stu made me realize nothing ever beats a good old conversation to connect with people to drive the message home through stories. Richard Delisser, Shared Services Executive at Suncorp Life, taught me how to think strategically and influence positive change. Rich’s message to me was to listen, listen and then listen some more to learn the intricate details about the problem, empathize with the situation and then act in order to influence positive change.
- 2. Published on LinkedIn. Aug 11, 2015. Peter How, Executive Manager at Bank BT Suncorp, taught me how to design a bulletproof plan to deliver an outcome. More often than not we do linear planning where a series of activities need to happen in sequence to generate a business outcome which really is happy path planning. I learnt a bulletproof plan requires a seemingly simple approach – Deep dive into the detail -->Plan --> Think through exceptions, risks & issues --> Adjust plan --> Test the plan with key influencers --> Adjust plan -- > Execute --> Repeat. I thought I was good at planning before I met Pete, boy was I wrong! :) I am grateful to my mentors for inspiring me to be a better leader – Thank You Josh, Bruce, Stuart, Richard & Peter! Call to Action I hope there are some take away for you from what I learnt from my Awesome mentors. I strongly recommend you to seek out mentors who can help you unleash your true potential.
