Reboot Your Life - an elegant time management approachPaul Gibbons
This document discusses personal productivity and leadership using David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. It summarizes that GTD is a systematic approach to managing agreements and commitments, rather than just managing time. Implementing GTD provides numerous benefits, including increased productivity, creativity, focus, and reduced stress. The key is mastering a five phase workflow of collecting, processing, organizing, reviewing, and doing tasks and projects. Essential tools for GTD include mind sweeping to collect everything on your mind, effective processing techniques, organizing using great lists, and weekly reviews to keep lists trustworthy and forward-looking.
The 7 Secrets of Highly Effective Retrospectives (DCSUG)Excella
Slides from the DC Scrum User Group event on 4/25/2016 titled, "The 7 Secrets of Highly Effective Retrospectives" by David Horowitz.
http://www.meetup.com/DC-Scrum/events/228807928/
Retrospectives are the core of agility. And yet they are often the scrum ceremony that is most frequently skipped. Many teams like the idea of the retrospective but find them boring, or worse ineffective.
Join Retrium CEO and Co-Founder David Horowitz as he reveals seven secrets that lead to effective retrospectives. You'll learn:* The best way to ensure your retrospectives lead to real change* The "pledge" everyone on your team must take before participating* How to know who to include in each retrospective* The single most important thing you can do to keep your team engaged during the retro* And much, much more!
Project Retrospectives are an important part of any software development process. The Principles Behind the Agile Manifesto state that, "At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly." How can this be done? By taking the time to reflect and learn and proactively determine what should be done differently in the next iteration, release, or project. Linda's presentation will introduce techniques for project retrospectives, whether they are agile or not. The techniques help teams discover what they’re doing well so that successful practices can continue and identify what should be done differently to improve performance. Retrospectives are not finger pointing or blaming sessions, but rather a highly effective process in which teams reflect on the past to become more productive in the future. Linda will share her experiences with leading retrospectives of several kinds for dozens of projects—successful and unsuccessful, small and large, in academia and industry. Her lessons learned can be applied to any project to enable teams and organizations to become learning organizations.
This document provides an introduction to Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a strengths-based approach to organizational change. It outlines the genesis of AI and its key founders. The core of AI involves a 4 or 5 stage process: Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny/Delivery. In the Discovery stage, interviews focus on identifying what works best in the organization. The Dream stage envisions positive possibilities and develops provocative propositions. The Design stage addresses how to align systems to fulfill the dreams. Destiny focuses on sustaining momentum through innovation and building AI competencies in the organization. AI is grounded in 5 principles and can be effectively used for coaching by focusing on strengths and small positive actions.
A Guide for Preparing and Facilitating RetrospectivesJason Yip
This document provides guidance on preparing for and facilitating retrospectives. It outlines the basic structure of a retrospective as setting the stage, gathering data, generating insights, deciding on actions, and closing. It also gives tips for establishing safety, such as using the prime directive and safety checks. Several retrospective styles are described, including four questions, SAMOLO, I Like-I Wish-What If, and goal-driven approaches. Practical tips are provided around using sticky notes, voting, and closing the retrospective. Further references for learning more about retrospectives are also included.

It helps libraries think more broadly about forces of change and engage stakeholders. The document provides an overview of scenario planning and outlines potential dimensions and scenarios that could be explored for libraries. It emphasizes using scenarios to develop stories and ideas as part of an ongoing conversation about the future of libraries and reimagining services.
This document summarizes Cédric Mainguy's work facilitating an agile transition at Palo IT, a large bank with operations across multiple European and Asian countries. The transition process involved 4 waves: 1) Assessing the current process through interviews and workshops, 2) Identifying problems and areas for improvement, 3) Providing training on agile best practices, and 4) Co-creating an implementation plan through activities like a "$100 game" to prioritize practices and develop an initial project roadmap. The goal was to help the large, structured organization move toward more agile and lean processes to reduce time to market while engaging teams in the transition.
Think Like an Agilist (repeat) Sydney Agile and Scrum 2014Jason Yip
This document describes an approach called "Think Like an Agilist" to help practitioners understand and practice an Agile culture. It involves using difficult scenarios and a think-aloud protocol to expose people's underlying assumptions. Participants discuss their thoughts in response to scenarios while a scribe captures them. This allows examination of assumptions about factors like problem-solving and involvement. The goal is to learn about one's own assumptions and compare them to Agile assumptions around iterative work, validation, and involving those close to problems. Practicing with scenarios can help adjust culture by considering how one thinks, not just outward behaviors.
The document introduces the DreamCatcher Plan, a goal-setting program with three stages: Idealise, Visualise, and Materialise. Unlike most programs that have people write down goals without knowing what they want, DreamCatcher first helps users discover their true desires. It provides a framework to develop unique, flexible, and adaptable dreams. The three stages are then described: Idealise expands possibilities, Visualise turns ideas into clear goals, and Materialise transforms ideas into reality. An example of using DreamCatcher to develop a dream house is given. The document encourages discovering one's purpose through research and sharing life experiences through a "100 Things" bucket list project.

Prinya Leadership And Social ResponsibiltyNguyet Do
The document discusses various aspects of leadership. It emphasizes that leadership is defined by one's actions, not their position. To lead others effectively, one must first lead themselves by knowing their strengths and weaknesses, continuously learning and improving, and setting clear priorities. When leading people, a leader should find common ground, respect differences, share decision-making, allow people to play to their strengths, and treat all people equally. Positive and creative thinking are also important skills for leadership.

Developing Leaders at all levels through Purpose driven coachingJoseph Abraham
Organizations often state that they want to strengthen their leadership pipeline, yet research shows that corporate leadership capabilities are dropping. These days, every organization is competing with everyone, from everywhere for everything - a new global reality! Researchers at Boston Consulting Group have identified the need to build leaders at all levels in an organization as one of the main challenges to be successful in the modern 'flat' world. To be successful in the turbulent decade that lies ahead leaders – and all the people they lead – need to learn to deal with complexity, uncertainty and constant change
In today’s work and organizational context one of the key qualities that helps leaders succeed and develop more leaders is the ability to coach, this workshop aims to help understand the essence of coaching and the effective tools one can practically employ at workplace both with individuals and teams that can make your coaching interventions more meaningful and powerful.
Your people have an innate desire to succeed and perform to their best and sometimes with the mind blocks and blind-spots they feel they’ve come to cross-roads or stumbled upon a huge roadblock and as a leader and you too want to see them thrive, succeed and grow, now with coaching you can help them accomplish their goals as Coaching is all about the person at the other end of the conversation, making this conversation powerful, engaging, lively, trust-driven and worthwhile is the key, and that’s what we’ll discover through this presentation.

Going Horizontal: The path to better organizations and a better society - Sam...Spark the Change Montréal
Collective leadership, self-management, employee led organization, non-hierarchical or horizontal ways of working – no matter what we call it, these ways of working together are what allow organizations to tap into their full potential and respond to their most current and relevant challenges.
When organizations begin to shift their culture towards more explicit forms of shared power, mutual responsibility and care, the journey forward is neither clear nor easy, and we often get stuck.
But what if organizations themselves are the ideal training grounds for developing the most critical personal and collective leadership skills required for our shared future?
Based on a unique anthropological lens, Samantha has uncovered a practical approach to going horizontal that can help anyone, no matter the domain of your activity, the size of your organization or your role within it.

"Raju Mandhyan’s The HeART of STORY reveals and revels in the magic of the attraction that the human race has had with stories since time immemorial. Unlike any other book I’ve read on the topic, Raju takes the reader behind the curtains of science, art, creativity, and business to make a powerful case to use stories to influence our world. He doesn't just tell, he demonstrates his truth with memorable stories that will stick with the reader.

Enhancing Emotional Intelligence by Raju MandhyanRaju Mandhyan
A short but an interactive and deep insight on Enhancing Emotional Intelligence.
The complete video of the webinar can be viewed at Facebook Page: Raju Mandhyan / Authentic Influence
https://www.facebook.com/mandhyanraju/videos/1126861524373219/
All human behavior is necessarily about managing and making the most out of our emotions and sensitive nature. Ignoring this essential and trying to logical, rational all the time is a symptom of societal conditioning.
Emotional intelligence is our ability to understand, manage and leverage our emotions in ways to lessen stress, increase other awareness, communicate effectively, overcome challenges and defuse conflict compassionately.
In this interactive session, we look into neuroscientific researches and employ easy to practice techniques towards increased self and other awareness and make mindful and systemic decisions during everyday scenarios.
In a world, today, that has exploded into the virtual domain where people live half their lives stuck to their smartphones and laptops; where social and business interactions thrive in the digital space these five subtleties can and will always rule all forms of dealings and interactions. Your abilities to authentically influence the marketplace and your stakeholders will depend on your reputation, your respect for who they are, your abilities to acquire rapport, your abilities to research their needs and desires and your abilities to turn your needs from claims to request will not just make you social and business leaders but leaders who innovate and influence authentically.
Leadership and communications are essentially two sides of single currency that drives CHANGE - change that is positive, constructive and inspiring. Leaders who visualize this change powerfully also learn to use this currency with dynamic impact.
Such leaders take these visions and etch them onto the hearts and minds of their people such that each and every individual rages with a desire to move, to innovate and build the world anew. One of the most powerful things that such leader do is tell stories. Stories are that magical mist of words that, like fragrance, settle deep into the neural pathways of the brain and make it a part of people’s consciousness and character.
In this highly, interactive and intense, session learn how to articulate visions, magnify missions and change hearts and minds through the heart of storytelling with Raju Mandhyan.

The document discusses how to be an effective supervisor in a VUCA-D world. It recommends three things: 1) Recognizing that uncertainty is not new, 2) Practicing being present in the moment through focused meditation, and 3) Knowing one's five I's: Identity, Intelligence, Imagination, Intention, and Integrity. It then provides more details on each of the five I's, describing how to understand one's values and strengths, envision goals, and commit to serving others with integrity. The document emphasizes qualities like compassion and common humanity as important for supervisors.
Sometimes people may think that being compassionate is being nice yet there is a fine difference. In being nice one does kind things that provide relief without really sensing what others may be going through. Like a child helping out a homeless person. While compassion comes wrapped in feeling how they feel and wanting and making mental and physical efforts to help others out of their situation for good.
Subtle Negotiation Skills for CSR PractitionersRaju Mandhyan
A few years ago, at the Asian Forum for Corporate Social Responsibility, I'd made this presentation inspired by the story of the Horse Whisperer, putting across the point that when we observe, listen, feel and patiently wait for the recipients of our support and programs then they rise towards the giving and the partnership evolves, beautifully, to become valuable and sustainable.
Sorry, that there has to be a power-point presentation for an organic art/process of Facilitation and Recording. The room we used was too long and narrow plus the participants were fenced into their seats but, rest assured, every participant sketched, followed the principles and did a Visual Sketch explaining a random process to one another more than once. In effect, yes, they got a hang of the method.
Now, enjoy the slides. Thanks!
Storytelling as a Facilitation TechnologyRaju Mandhyan
Storytelling is an effective facilitation tool according to Dr. Joem Antonio. It can make activities seem easier by evoking emotions in the participants. Specifically, stories involve a protagonist overcoming a challenge to obtain a prize. This follows the basic structure of a beginning, escalation of conflict or obstacle, climax, and resolution. By crafting stories this way, facilitators can highlight the value of the activity, the feasibility of completing it, and ways to overcome difficulties. This engages emotions like hope, courage, and joy, which motivate participation and effort.
A little knowledge, awareness and employment of Improv adds nuclear power to your basic public speaking skills.
It speeds up rapport, trust, engagement, precision, integration, positivity and delivers the fun as a by product.
This deck is what I used to share the power and the way of Improv for Public Speaking at an event in Dubai on 11/14/15
The learning and the take-aways were in the way I processed the interactions and the activities. Of course!
Yes!
Yes, and if you know Improv and Public Speaking you will easily put this design and flow to good use.
Enjoy!
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Multiple new technologies have emerged, but Samsara and C3.ai are only two companies which have gone public so far.
Manufacturing startups constitute the largest pipeline share of unicorns and IPO candidates in the SF Bay Area, and software startups dominate in Germany.
