Keynote

The MINDset Game™
Vered Kogan
Written by: Debbie Adkins

Vered Kogan

There is a simple technique called Quick Coherence® “Quick Coherence Technique” from Heart Math Institute that you can practice to help you build your resilience and effectively manage stress during this difficult and uncertain time. Vered started our webinar by leading us through this technique.


Vered introduced participants to The MINDset Game™, a revolutionary concept that can change the way you see the world and how you respond to situations in your life. It can help you to rewire negative or limiting thought patterns so that you can feel more positive and release the resistance to change.


She explained the typical change process that people go through when experiencing a transition and shared the science behind how our thoughts and emotions impact our results.


She then discussed that life is like a maze- full of twists and turns that prevent you from seeing more than a few feet ahead. By playing The MINDset Game™ deliberately, you can leverage the incredible power of your subconscious mind to access the ideas, intuition, and motivation that will guide you to taking the next right step in the “maze” so that you can avoid potential pitfalls and dead ends and experience more joy.


At any moment, you are either focusing on positive thoughts- positive mindsets- that move you closer or “warmer” to what you want. Or, you are focusing on negative thoughts- negative mindsets that are moving you further away- or “colder”- from what you want. And, most of us are not actually aware of our habitual thoughts or beliefs because we are creating our life out of a series of automatic subconscious programs.

When you deliberately focus on positive empowering thoughts, your subconscious mind will help you access the ideas and resources to create what you want. On the other hand, if you habituality focus on negative mindsets like, “I can’t do this”, “this is taking too long”, “I’m not good enough”, or “I’m not worthy”, you are essentially choosing to move away from what you want. This is because your powerful subconscious mind- that part of you that controls your body and almost all of your mental power- will take those thoughts as a command and limit you from achieving what you want.
“You can create your desired future by consciously moving toward what you want”. Do this by:

  • Decide what you are searching for and why. Your subconscious mind likes specificity.
  • Tune in to your emotions to identify whether you are moving toward or away from what you want.
  • Any time you notice that you are moving away from what you want, shift your focus. See handout for a few questions and a tool that you can practice to shift your thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
  • Stay persistent and resilient until you achieve your goals.

At the end of the webinar, Vered offered participants the opportunity to access an online course containing videos and exercises to help them master their mindset (valued at $97). Here is the link if you’d like to sign up for her monthly e-Newsletter and receive this free course: https://veredkogan.com/careerconnectors/

03/12/20 – When “Off With Their Heads” Won’t Work

by

Written by: Connie Huber SHRM-CP PHR

Loretta Love Huff

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” – Thomas Paine

Conflict is inevitable to occur in our personal and professional life. Few of us enjoy conflict! Our common reaction is avoidance. A number of factors influence our reasons to do so such as self-doubt, lack of assertiveness, inadequate communication skills, fear of rejection, disapproval, criticism, loss of security and more. Dealing with conflict makes us uncomfortable. Avoiding it minimizes perceived threats to our self esteem and sense of well-being. We may elect to ignore the problem, change the subject or shut down. Conflict avoidance is an unhealthy way to deal with problems. It is important for us to deal with the challenge, not doing so has a negative impact on our emotional health, increases our fears, and missed opportunities. Dealing with conflict is a chance for change and growth.

“Courage is what it takes to stand up & speak, courage is also what it takes to sit down & listen.” – Winston Churchill

Keynote

Loretta Love Huff, Speaker, Author, Marketing Strategist, Coach

Loretta shared her expertise in conflict management and our guide to conflict management. She began by highlighting how expensive conflict can be to an employer. It is burning a hole in companies’ bottom lines!
IS IT WORTH ADDRESSING?
Managers are spending 50% of their time in dealing with conflict while employees are dedicating 85% of their energy. Managers need to decide if dealing with conflict is worth addressing. Reinforcing this point, the average manager salary = $50K times the managers in your firm =10; times ½ of their time is $250K.
US employees spend approximately 2.8 hours each week involved in conflict.
That’s about $359 billion paid hours focused on negative issues rather than positive productivity.
About 385 million days on the job are focused on arguing vs. collaboration.
60% of employees have never received any training to help navigate conflict and arrive at mutually beneficial outcomes.
CONFLICT CHALLENGES

  1. Conflict Management-46%
  2. Understanding Others -20%
  3. Motivating Others -18%
  4. Composure-7%
  5. Learning on the fly -5%
  6. Priority Setting -4%

UPSIDE OF CONFLICT
• Have more options than we generally see and more control than we tend to take.
• Conflict skills can be taught and learned.
• Developing productive conflict resolution skills is a profitable investment for an organization.
• Conflict can have positive outcomes.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE
All of us have beliefs, actions and results. These comprise what is known as the BAR theory. Thoughts influence our actions and results in our professional and personal endeavors.
Your comfort zone is a “Kill Zone”. This happens when you are trapped by your beliefs, fears, and comfort zone.
Need to establish a roadmap that will assist you in achieving the life you desire.
IMPLEMENTING CHANGE
The four steps to implementing change are…

  1. Aspire. What is it you desire or your dream destination?
  2. Assess. What are your biggest communication, conflict and influence challenges?
  3. Act. Put your action plan into place for results.
  4. Account. Designate someone to hold you accountable to reach your destination.

UNDERSTANDING CONFLICT
People are different in their thinking, values, drives, motives and emotions.
ELEMENTS OF CONFLICT
• Two or more interdependent parties.
• Expressed/perceived struggle.
• Perception of scarce resources.
• Perception of interference.
• Perception of incompatible goals.
SOURCES OF CONFLICT
Many things cause conflict including ….
• Lack of information.
• Values & beliefs.
• Communication problems.
• Personality.
• Shared or scarce resources.
• Interdependence.
• Incompatible goals.
• Ambiguity.

4 POSSIBLE STRATEGIES FOR DEALING WITH CONFLICT

  1. Change the other party.
  2. Alter the conflict conditions.
  3. Change your perception & change your life.
  4. Deepen understanding of the person/situation.

METHODS FOR RESOLVING CONFLICT
• Collaboration: Requires parties willing to talk with each other. Solution based on facts & interests of all parties. Relationship preserved. Parties able to move forward.
• Compromising.
• Harmonizing.
• Avoiding.
• Directing.
UNDERSTANDING SELF & OTHERS
Determine who you like.
CHALLENGES
I like people like me, but they often aren’t.
Misunderstanding leads to missed communication; unvalued rewards & recognition; frustration.
Study & understand self-first, then others. We’re all multi-faceted.
INFLUENCING OTHERS
Fatal flaw is assuming people are just like you and ‘buy’ for the same reasons you do. Behaviors & needs vary.
RECOGNIZING BEHAVIOR STYLES
• Fast & outspoken.
• Accepting & warm.
• Cautious & reflective.
• Questioning & skeptical.

IDOL: Behaviors to use in influencing the Idol
Goal: People involvement, recognition. Fear: Rejection, loss of approval. Buying Basis: Who is using the service. Selling Strategy: Service’s appeal to others. The benefit to him/her.

SUPPORTING ACTOR: Behaviors to use in influencing the Supporting Actor
Goal: Security, stability. Fear: Sudden change; losing security. Buying Basis: How the service will stabilize his/her world. Selling Strategy: ‘Support’ provided by service. The benefit to him/her.

CRITIC: Behaviors to use in influencing the Critic
Goal: Accuracy, order. FEAR: Criticism of performance, lack of standards. Buying Basis: Why the service is a logical investment for him/her. Selling Strategy: ‘Track record’ of the service. The benefit to him/her.

PERSONAL PITFALLS
Does your way seem like the only ‘right’ way?
Do you always resort to the same style regardless of the situation or players?
What enduring or not-so-enduring terms do people use to describe you?

EFFECTIVE WAY TO OPEN A CONVERSATION
• But maybe NOT with a recruiter or your potential boss.
• When you…
• I feel…
• Because…
• Here’s what I’d like instead…

3/4/20 – Activate Your Strengths

by

Written by Gary Matsuda

Difficult co-workers? We’re talking about those who make your life miserable by overly complicating things or leaving out essential process details. Of course, they wouldn’t have done it the way you would have, which would have been faster or more accurate by far!

While interpersonal problems could be the result of differences in personal goals and values, another potential source of conflict is not often recognized or measured. It’s part of our innate way of doing things called conation.

Stephanie Clergé, Career coach, VP of Training and Consulting at Kolbe Corp broke it down for us.

Keynote

Psychology defines 3 parts of the mind:

  1. Cognition (intellect, skills, knowledge)
  2. Affective (feeling, personality type, preferences, values)
  3. Conation (instinctive action, problem solving approaches, decision making methods)

Well-known psychological tests work with the thinking cognitive (IQ, SAT) and feeling (DISC, Myers Briggs) parts of our brain.

The third component of the mind associated with conation or how we naturally take action (or avoid action) is measured by the Kolbe test, the only validated assessment that measures a person’s conative strengths. The results are called your MO or Method of Operation. If you know your MO, you will understand your own human nature and can begin the process of maximizing your potential. You’ll also be able to describe yourself clearly and articulate how you have performed in preparation for interviews and how to thrive in your new job!

The online Kolbe test takes about 20 minutes, during which you’ll be asked 36 questions which are designed to accurately determine your conative strengths. (It’s so accurate, if you change your answers, it will track that too.)

You’ll get your results in the form of 4 numbers representing a range from 1 to 10 for each of the action modes. These are the 4 action modes:

  • Fact Finder – one’s way of gathering and sharing information
  • Follow Thru – one’s way of organizing
  • Quick Start – one’s way of dealing with risk and uncertainty
  • Implementor – one’s way of handling space and tangibles

You then interpret your scores like this for each action mode:

CounterAct – Scores in 1-3 range of the continuum
Indicates an ability to resist being in action mode or being energy saving or conservative.

  • Fact Finder: indicates a need to generalize, give an overview, briefly summarize, and find bottom line information.
  • Follow Through: indicates a need to do several things at once, keep things where they can be seen, take short cuts, go outside regular procedures.
  • Quick Start: indicates a need to avoid chaos, bring stability, stick with the tried and true, and reduce uncertainty.
  • Implementor: indicates a need to avoid literal construction of model, working in three dimensions, or handling special relationships.

ReAct – The in between zone 4-6
Indicating an ability to accommodate in the mode as needed. Not going to detail actions here but generally they blend between the two zones above and below.

Initiate Action – scores in the 7-10 part of the continuum
Also referred to as insistence (on performing an action).

  • Fact Finder: indicates a need to be specific, read and report details, define terms, and justify facts.
  • Follow Thru: indicates a need to be highly structured, act sequentially, and complete one task before starting another.
  • Quick Start: indicates a need to experiment, act spontaneously, and do things in new and different ways.
  • Implementor: indicates a need to touch, physically explore, move around, build, and deal with what is concrete rather than abstract.

The emphasis here is to recognize and exploit your superpowers. We all have habits we should improve, but most career coaches advise that it’s not productive to put significant effort into improving your weaknesses or abilities you were not born with. Likewise, you’re unlikely to change your team members weaknesses into strengths. Instead there is much more return on investment on developing and using natural strengths.

If you have ever wondered why the boss needs to drone on about the big picture, while you just want the details on what to do next, you’ll understand why there is a disconnect. With your Kolbe score you’ll have the basic information to start meaningful conversations and reduce stress in the workplace or at home!

Compared to most career advice that seem to focus on intelligence (i.e. good grades, certifications) and personality, the Kolbe A Index guides us further by:

  • Learning to rely on actions that instinctively work for us.
  • Helping focus time and energy to be more productive.
  • Directing more effective communication, career choices and study habits.
  • Improving relationships with friends, loved ones and co-workers because we’ll trust our instincts instead of trying to change each other.

To get help planning for your next career (or date), take the Kolbe A evaluation. If you’ve registered for this Career Connectors event, it’s free until March 15th.

Stephanie Clergé is a VP of Training and Consulting at Kolbe Corp, which specializes in assessments and interventions that increase individual and collective performance.

2/25/20 – Interview with Confidence

by

Keynote Speaker

Carmen Payne Interviewing with Confidence

Carmen Payne, SOAR! Transformational Life Coach
Written by: Debbie Adkins, Pet and Home Care (Pet Sitting & Walking to Home Organizing)

The interview is a large part of your job search. It is the last step to you getting or not getting a job. The first part of the interview is “for you to know yourself”, “where you are in your career path” and “how hard you are willing to work” in getting that job you want.
There are steps to do some or all the above. Put together a career plan which includes researching all the career websites and social media (LinkedIn) that has to do with searching for open positions. Then list your strengths and weakness which you and/or an employer may use in interview questions. Lastly do anything that will help you during the interview/s.
When the interviews are set up and during the interview, look confident not like you are just there to get a job. Introduce yourself with your full name, a smile and a firm handshake…not a crushing one. Then answer all questions completely and honestly…with just the facts. Be sure to tell them about you, things that you have done career-wise and situations that have helped the company and maybe you. While they are asking you questions, you ask them questions about the company, about the position you are interested in and anything that is connected to them and the job.
Be sure during the interview you are positive and confident by not being negative toward your last boss or job. Watch your body motions, the way you talk and what you are telling them. Most importantly, you should practice the interview in the mirror, with a friend or coach. All of this will make you believe that you will get the job and show them that you can do it.
One thing you can do while you are in the “situation” part of the interview is use the “STAR” formula. Which you state a Situation… you had to solve or would help the company then the Task…you was required, when, where and who helped you then the Action…what you did, skills used and things that would bring you to the Result or outcome and what happened.
*Just remember…even the employer you interview with can have a bad day!
In closing, know this and remember over the years the way of interviewing has and will change. In the past there were both phone and “face to face” interviews. Now there is the computer and other ways of doing interviews. Stay aware of any changes in your job searching from the resume to getting that job you want.

02/20/2020 – Go from Tired & Stressed to Inspired & Blessed

by

Written by: Connie Huber SHRM-CP PHR

Jean Briese

The tragic and untimely death of Kobe Bryant prompted me to reflect and gain a more optimistic perspective on life. Kobe was an amazing basketball player, man and cultural icon. Many tributes shared how Bryant inspired basketball and non-basketball fans alike. One individual highlighted the following Kobe quote, “Everything negative-pressure, challenges-is all an opportunity for me to rise”. Another impactful message shared was “You have a choice. When you make a choice and say, ‘Come hell or high water, I am going to be this, ‘then you shouldn’t be surprised when you become that.’ Kobe had a unique mindset for success and embraced it relentlessly. More importantly he practiced what he preached. His philosophy on life, “Have a good life. Life is too short to get bogged down and be discouraged. You have to keep moving. Put one foot in from of the other, smile and just keep on rolling.” Kobe’s legacy is a powerful reminder how a positive outlook can open the door for much personal and professional success.
Thank you, Kobe! RIP

Keynote: Jean Briese, Speaker, Business Success Coach, Author

Jean’s message “go from tired and stressed to inspired and blessed” shared with the group how to deal with stress and lead a more balanced life. Everyday we are challenged by the stresses we are presented with. As a job seeker our efforts and days are met with one of the biggest stressors in life, “job loss”. In addition, you have multiple demands placed on you that further require your attention. Your daily goal of work and life balance is swirling in a tornado of busyness.
Jean encouraged us to eliminate the biggest stress in our life. Her goal was to share tips and strategies on just how to achieve this goal. Jean has over 25 years in the corporate world and shared with us how she developed a positive mindset. When Jean was a young girl her mother and father divorced. Two weeks before Christmas Jean’s Mom decided to go on a date. As she left with her date, they told Jean and the other kids they would be back in 3 days. Jean was the oldest and the youngest 5. Jean’s mother did not return home that night or on day 2 or day 3. The children were beginning to run out of food. As the oldest, Jean knew she had to do something and reached out to the community for assistance. The social workers told Jean they had spent their budget for Christmas presents; and Jean & her siblings would not be getting any. The social workers also informed Jean they didn’t know if they could find a home and keep all the kids together. Jean was assigned the responsibility to tell her siblings about the life altering changes they would be encountering. The biggest takeaways for Jean were that kindness matters, ways to repay others for their thoughtfulness, and to pay it forward. Whatever privilege you have or wish you had doesn’t matter. Jean noted success relies on your mind and putting it to work.
Jean encouraged us to have a firm understanding of what our ideal life looks like.
There are five areas in life to be effective in to achieve a balanced life. Those areas are:
1.(F)-Family
2.(F)-Finances
3.(F)-Fitness
4.(F)-Faith
5.(F)-Friends.
You should rate yourself on each category using a scale of 1-10. Time management is crucial in achieving the 5Fs. Establishing goals and placing them on a calendar is a great beginning. Each day plan your day and have a to do list. If you start the day in a reactive mode, your entire day will be reactive. Non negotiables need to be determined and practiced. Distractions will occur; each distraction you will lose 23 minutes of productivity and 30 hours per week. Setting healthy boundaries will help keep your focus. When planning your day, build in in time for urgent things to happen. In determining your 90 day goal, consider what is your return on your investment and if you can delegate tasks.
In applying these practices to your job search, look at the activities you need to pursue and achieve in your search. List all the activities and use a calendar to plan your days. Be sure to utilize your own network; reach out to those folks who can help you connect with, not necessarily those people you are close to.
FINAL THOUGHTS
There are 7.2 billion in the world. No one has the same gifts as you.

  1. Know what your gifts are; reduce the words describing your gift to commonality and limit to 3-5 words.
  2. Put activities and thoughts that energize you at the beginning of your calendar.
  3. Eliminate those things that drain you.
  4. Do not allow culture to devalue your gifts.
  5. Share your gifts/blessings with yourself, others and network.
