Systems Thinking about Sustainable Change

Everyone must be responsible for doing the work every day to reframe and redesign the biases/inequities rooted in policies and practices. The shift in culture and method is accomplished by applying the two pillars of Lean: continuous improvement and demonstrating respect for people, and creating opportunities for participants to learn, share, practice, and grow in a safe environment. After our session, participants will: 1. Understand the purpose of the #RootCauseRacism® movement and the connection to continuous improvement methodologies (primarily the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle) 2.

Too often, traditional management is still aligned with outdated, top-down command and control management thinking. Our research and experience show that today’s employees demand meaningful work, support, and autonomy to achieve their results, especially in uncertain and challenging environments. They want leaders and managers who care for them as people, unambiguous communication, and opportunities to learn, grow and succeed in their roles. They want someone who challenges them and supports them, who facilitates learning, helps them adapt to changing conditions, not a traditional command and control boss who has all the answers.   About Mike Denison Mike is a leadership performance coach and executive coach, he was one of the first managers in the UK Toyota Operations in the early 90’s.

A niche market is a part of a larger market that is defined by its unique identity, needs and preferences, which makes it different from the larger market. For example, age-defying creams are part of the skin care market. Some doctors have niches, such as geriatrics or pediatrics. Niche teaching is based on this premise. A niche is defined by the problems its students have. A niche teacher focuses on a very specific group of learners who have a very specific problem, for example, Arabic-speaking medical professionals who need to work on their pronunciation and presentation skills. A niche teacher offers their niche a very specific solution to their problem.   As a passionate teacher who has been travelling and living abroad for over 15 years, I believe that niche teaching is the future for several reasons. The most important reason is that the vast majority of English learners need to communicate well for a specific purpose. But it takes a certain kind of person to be a niche teacher. What qualities are necessary? How does a student know what they need? How can you find a niche teacher? What are the pros and cons of niche teaching for you […]

When networking with fellow professionals, the focus almost always is: “What do you do?” Why is that? Why isn't the focus: “Why do you do what you do?” A 2014 Harvard Business Review article reported less than 20% of leaders have a strong sense of their own purpose. Even fewer can distill their purpose into a concise statement. All while research shows the myriad personal & professional benefits of doing so. As a leader or lean professional, your organization's values & purpose are directly reflected in your metrics. No matter where you live or work, when you have a clear picture of your why, you will be more motivated, engaged & productive. So it’s critical that you take the time to uncover your personal purpose & reflect on how that aligns with where you are professionally.   During this engaging & uniquely interactive webinar-workshop you will draw out your purpose (literally) & start the journey to live out your purpose. So pull out the crayons & get ready to creatively crystalize your purpose.
