In this session we will cover a brief introduction to the research by Kegan and Lahey where they discovered that behind each of our habits is a strongly held belief that not only keeps us in our groove, but also fights any change that threatens the status quo.
We will discuss why personal growth and increasing our mental complexity is so important for agile and business transformations in today's VUCA world to succeed.
We will create your Immunity To Change Map which is a simple way to bring to light the your personal barriers to change. We will start by outlining your commitment to an improvement goal. Then we will sketch out the things that you are either doing or not doing that prevent progress towards the achievement goal. The Map then identifies competing commitments, as well as the big underlying assumptions behind those competing commitments.
The objective is to pinpoint and address whatever beliefs and assumptions are blocking you from the changes you want to make.
You will leave this workshop with a better understanding and tools to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.
Self-awareness is about learning to observe yourself not only through your own eyes but through others people’s eyes too. When you are self-aware, you know your strengths and weaknesses and how to manage them in the workplace.
The talk introduces a model for developing self-awareness using the Johari Window that will help you better understand your relationship with others and yourself. I shared how you can design a feedback session to build greater self-awareness, lift your performance and unlock the key to personal growth.
Working in an agile environment where individuals and interactions is important, greater understanding of yourself and how you interact with others will lead to greater team and organisational success.

A UX professional has the power to heavily influence the success or failure of an entire business – product, service or otherwise. What we forget is that UX professionals are in fact human. We have the same or similar physical, emotional and experiential habits, outlooks and desires as the users we’re designing for. Humans design for humans. Therefore, it’s important to focus on the human, emotional aspect of our UX teams.
Successful design is built not just on our expertise, but our enjoyment in the craft of building itself.
By assessing and analyzing the UX designer as an individual versus the UX designer as a part of a team, this talk will explore and suggest uncommon but potentially vital themes in building and retaining creative inspiration inside a UX team.
To survive as a company, the organization needs to become a shapeshifter: sometimes hierarchical, sometimes networked; sometimes efficient, sometimes effective; sometimes great at execution, and other times great at innovation. You can only achieve this by motivating people to change continuously. To achieve this, we take a closer look at gamification and habit-forming. Because games and habits are the keys to intrinsic motivation and change. And you need those in your company to become a great shapeshifter!

A medical study showed that when doctors tell their seriously ill heart patients that they will die if they do not make changes to their lifestyle, only one in seven patients is able to make a change. Crazy!
According to Harvard professors, Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey, people do not resist change. Even when people are genuinely committed to change, they subconsciously apply effort toward a hidden competing commitment. The result is a stalled effort, which looks like a resistance to change. It is like shoveling sand against the tide. In this workshop, I want to demonstrate the power of the Immunity to Change framework developed by Kegan and Lahey and share my practical experience overcoming the immunity when implementing Agile.
Good teamwork is the heart of successful business. But what is a good team? Many teams are riven by dysfunctionality, poor leadership, groupthink, and in-fighting. Research across 180 teams and 37,000 employees at Google has identified the core component of high-performance teams - psychological safety. This is a collaborative, customer-focused and civil environment in which creativity, critical thought and cognitive flexibility can flourish. But drop the smallest amount of toxicity into the team and everything can quickly becomes poisonous and low-performance. Informed by years of cutting-edge management research and decades of practical experience in organisational transformation, this Masterclass explains how to deliver a high-performance, psychologically safe environment and how to quickly identify and eliminate the various toxic processes, behaviours and people that destroy the core of a great business.
The A-Team: How to build a UX team with strengths-based leadershipUXPA International
UX teams are comprised of people with unique strengths that enable them to approach design and user experience challenges from multiple perspectives. Surprisingly, however, these unique traits often go ignored under the assumption that all leaders look and perform the same. Leading a UX team or project using these strengths not only helps designers and researchers contribute more effectively, but also empowers them to take the lead on work that is personally meaningful and satisfying. This session will help UX team managers and individual contributors understand the value of strengths, identify strengths within themselves, and use these strengths to become effective and passionate leaders.
In an increasingly challenging and unpredictable professional landscape, leaders are often being asked to balance an impossibly broad set of responsibilities. A shared leadership model promises a more sustainable path forward – yet many organizations and individuals stumble when they attempt to implement this more collaborative approach.
In this webinar, we discover what research tells us about the behavior patterns that can block shared leadership and potentially reduce leadership effectiveness. Learn how to recognize these risk factors and how you can coach leaders to work through these challenges to support and embrace a shared approach to leadership.
Psychological Safety: An Important Component for Safety in the Workplace
Psychological safety has been referred to as the single most important characteristic for successful teams and leads to decrease in turnover and increases in effectiveness. Psychological safety is the belief that your environment is safe for interpersonal risk-taking meaning that asking questions, pointing out problems, and suggesting innovation will be responded to in a respectful manner. This presentation will cover what psychological safety is, why it’s important, how to assess its presence, and tips on how to grow this in your workplace.

Why Great Leaders Must Unlearn to Succeed in Today’s Exponential WorldKaiNexus
March 6 from 1:00 - 2:00 ET
Presented by Barry O'Reilly
In this session, you will:
Learn to use a systematic approach to adapting your behaviors and mindset in order to meet the demands of an exponential rate of innovation.
Discover how to let go, reframe, and rethink past successes in order to succeed in the future.
Identify and address the personal obstacles that you need to unlearn.
Challenge your thinking, get outside your comfort zone, and achieve results beyond what you thought was possible.
Effective leadership comes with a large learning curve. In today’s rapidly evolving business climate, this is truer than ever for seasoned leaders and entrepreneurs alike.
Many leaders rely too heavily on past achievements, practices, and ways of thinking to drive positive business results today, but they often need to unlearn those behaviors before they can take a step forward.
Join executive coach Barry O’Reilly as he breaks down a transformative framework that shows leaders how to rethink their strategies, retool their capabilities, and revitalize their businesses for stronger, longer-lasting success.
"Unlearn: Let Go of Past Success to Achieve Extraordinary Results" shows leaders and entrepreneurs how to deliberately move away from once-useful mindsets and outdated behaviors that were effective in the past and embrace new behaviors that are effective in a world ripe with emerging technologies and accelerated change.

A talk by Ray Weaver
CEO, ABOGE Coaching and Consulting, Inc.
Leaders,
I have been fielding calls on holding conversations on the events that have been happening in our nation. Specifically, the conversation around the subject of race. I too find it an uncomfortable conversation.
It is a fact, it is uncomfortable because it has emotions, differing opinions, and high stakes; hence, it’s known as a Crucial Conversation.
Conversations like these require us to be totally present, attentive, and open. Additionally, it will not get any easier, if we shy away from holding them.
As I was journaling on the subject today, I reflected on my fear of having conversations about race. After a few hours, I found much of my fear was based on my feeling of not being an expert on race. I am an expert on how I feel, but not on the deep psychology and philosophy of the study of race.
Later, it occurred to me, my fears were based on my thinking I needed to solve the problem (the expert); hence, I felt ill-equipped to do so.
The realization of my fear, aided in my asking another question, “What if, to start the conversation, I just engage to educate myself on the feelings and insights of others from a learning perspective?” I immediately felt empowered and willing to have the conversation; with the intention to learn, listen, and grow.
Face it, this is a large, deep, and complex issue; and it will take multiple conversations, reflection, intentioned efforts, and action on a personal, interpersonal, and national level to solve.
But, additionally, it to requires a willingness to engage in dialogue, within your sphere of influence; no matter how uncomfortable.
I am sharing this not as a simplification. It is to let you know, you are not alone in the uncomfortableness of it, and that you are equipped to have the crucial “learning” conversation if that is your intention.
As leaders, it is necessary for us to open the dialogue and lead the way.
Attached is a Crucial Conversation Checklist, which includes the visual model of the process. It provides the structure to hold the uncomfortable conversations, which is a requirement of the work of leadership.
I am reminded of a quote on the opportunity. It is said, “…real opportunity, unlike magical thinking, often comes dressed in overalls, and looks like work.”
I hope this will support your being open to learn, engage, and hold uncomfortable conversations; as part of your work in leadership.
Stay Safe! Stay Healthy! Stay Strong!

Creative Problem Solving w Emergenetics ReflectionsJohn Yeo
A compilation of how Creative Problem Solving is best designed for teachers to experience their own journey of facilitating for creativity in the classroom with different thinking tools to enhance Creativity. Emergenetics was the chosen profiling instrument to help teachers themselves situate their own understanding and behaviour of what creativity meant to them. They first experience how their energy generated for the 7 thinking and behavioural attributes (i.e. Social, Conceptual, Analytical, Structural, Expressiveness, Assertiveness, Flexibility) allow them to value what is creative. Thereafter the participants are grouped based on the Emergenetics concept of Whole Emergenetics (WE) team to harness different perspectives and values to design for a truly innovative process of teaching and learning. This professional learning course is designed by John Yeo, National Institute of Education, Singapore.

The facilitator will use this to form teams.
