SPEAKING & WORKSHOPS
Specialist workshops I've run for MuleSoft (a Salesforce company):
How to Have Difficult Conversations: The #1 most common topic I get asked about, especially by new people managers, is how to have difficult conversations with their team members.
Top takeaways:
- While these conversations are tough, they are necessary. 83% of employees appreciate receiving feedback, whether it’s positive or negative.
- It sets the example that it’s okay for your team to also bring uncomfortable things to you because you show yourself to be capable of handling it.
- Having these conversations with your team allows the opportunity to co-create solutions together, and builds a culture of trust.
How to Cultivate a Growth Mindset & EQ: The world’s most successful people have two things in common: they have a growth mindset, and they are often highly emotionally intelligent. In this session, we discussed what a growth mindset is, the role of EQ within that, and how to develop both so you can become more effective, influential and advance professionally.
Top takeaways:
- Growth mindset is perpetual, and not a destination. It requires a natural curiosity, striving for constant expansion, and taking full ownership of your choices.
- People with high EQ have better mental health, job performance, leadership skills, and generally better quality of life and success.
- Employees, regardless of title or standing, need to feel comfortable voicing their thoughts and opinions. Developing your EQ helps you become more approachable.
