    Unlocking Your Leadership Potential with Curiosity w/ Dr Diane Hamilton

    Curiosity has been a hot topic over the years because most of the breakthrough discoveries and remarkable inventions throughout history, from flints for starting a fire to self-driving cars, have something in common: They are the result of curiosity. Like other animals, humans are learning machines and that's why scientists referred to us as “informavores,” creatures who search for and digest information just as carnivores hunt for and eat meat. What Does Curiosity Have to Do with Leadership? I sat with Dr. Diane Hamilton, a sought-after expert in emotional intelligence and behavioral science with nearly four decades of real-world experience, she's the creator of the Curiosity Code Index® and the author of five books sold worldwide. She is a thought leader in the fields of leadership, sales, marketing, management, engagement, personality, curiosity, perception, and motivation and is known for increasing engagement, improving productivity and reducing conflict. Thinkers50 Radar chose her as one of the top minds in management and leadership. In this podcast, Dr. Diane Hamilton and I discussed the following: 1. What is curiosity and its significance 2. The link between successful leaders and curiosity. 3. How does curiosity translate into business results? 4. How organizations can foster a culture of curiosity and innovation where people are open and free to experiment with new ideas and concepts in order to unlock their full potential 5. Whether curiosity changes as we age and why we lose our childlike curiosity as we grow 6. What inhibits curiosity and how do we overcome the inhibitors of curiosity 7. How we can retrain our brain to develop curiosity #DoyinAdebayo #PerformanceAdvisor #PerformanceToolsPodcast #DianeHamilton #Podcast #UnlockingYourLeadershipPotential #Curiosity

His energetic, interactive teaching style has won him several awards, including the Bell Ringer award at GE’s famous Crotonville Institute and best teacher award at Northwestern. He was among BusinessWeek‘s top ten resources for in-house executive development programs. In the past, companies generally boasted of their greatest competitive advantage with the number of labour, capital, factories, land, physical assets, etc. Unfortunately, the rules of the game are changing and changing so fast and thanks to digitization. In this podcast episode, Dr Ram Charan , he provides an overview of how leaders — of both traditional and digital companies— can increase their chances of success in the digital age.  In this episode, we talked about how the tech giants (Netflix, Amazon, Alibaba and others ) have radically rewritten the rules of business. If you want to win, you need to learn to play a new game. He shares 6 rules and they're: Rule #1.  A personalized consumer experience is key to exponential growth. Rule #2. Algorithms and data are essential weapons. Rule #3. A company does not compete. Its ecosystem does. Rule #4. Moneymaking is geared toward huge cash generation, not earnings per share, and the new law of increasing returns. Funders understand the difference. Rule #5. People, culture, and work design form a “social engine” that drives innovation and execution personalized for each customer. Rule #6. Leaders continuously learn, imagine, and break through obstacles to create the change that other companies must contend with. #DoyinAdebayo #PerformanceAdvisor #PerformanceToolsPodcast #RamCharan #Podcast #RethinkingCompetitiveAdvantage

    Bridging the Skills Gap: Insights from The Kraft Heinz CLO- Ekpedeme M Bassey

    Bridging the Skills Gap: Insights from The Kraft Heinz CLO- Ekpedeme M Bassey It’s a red-hot marketplace. Today every single company executive is worried about skills. If you are in corporate L&D, this is the time to make a case to your executive team to start thinking about what skills are missing among your workforce. You need to drive skills development at scale. Bio Ekpedeme “Pamay” M. Bassey is Chief Learning and Diversity Officer for the Kraft Heinz Company, where she drives a culture of continuous learning, bold creativity and intellectual curiosity. https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamay/ https://my52wow.com/ Transcript (Abridged) Doyin: Pamay, kindly introduce yourself. Pamay: I am a lifelong-learner, I love big ideas and I love serving my community and those are some of my passions. I am the Chief Learning and Diversity Officer at the Kraft Heinz Company. Doyin: It is good to have you with us. To start with, we know that the pandemic has upended lives and work. Can you share with us the challenges you learnt during the pandemic period as it relates to work, learning and generally? Pamay: Every family, and organisation experienced the pandemic at an enormous amount. Due to this, we had to make learning virtual. We had to connect without the benefit of being in the same room or area. As a learning professional, I had to take all the courses in progress and plans we have for other organisations and form them into full virtual experiences. Certainly, it was a challenge, but my team and I decided to do things differently and we made everything into a virtual format. Personally, in times of crisis, you have to learn your superpower and determine your way through it. Decide who you want to be in that storm and that would guide the process of learning. Doyin: What should business executives focus on in helping the organisations deal with and also help their organisations emerge as a result of this pandemic? Pamay: I think that trying to focus on how to continue to produce, and how to adjust your routines to work effectively matters. One of the things we learn and would continue to learn is the importance of communication. The ability to be resilient, to determine how to practice resilience, decision making especially when you have incomplete information frankly how to manage your energy is important because we need to deliver as humans and organisations. Doyin: What is the skills gap and why should organisations care? Pamay: There are certain skills to help deliver in this world; every company, organisation or business. Research has it that there are not enough people with those skills to fill the jobs/roles. One of the aims of my company is that we champion great people and great teams are what drive the work. So, companies who are aiming to drive their aims, need people who are skilled to fill the gap. Doyin: We have identified skills and why should companies care? How about individuals? Pamay: I am passionate about helping people take ownership of their skills and development. People should care about the skills gap because it takes a belief and knowledge that you can embrace learning as your superpower and if you find yourself in a place where you are being disrupted even intentionally or unintentionally, you need to get skilled or a new job. People are looking for people who can step up into different roles to transform themselves professionally and continue to be lifelong learners. What you know today how valuable will it be tomorrow? As individuals, there is a huge opportunity if you are a learner and can embrace that. I will say I learned my way through growth and career to develop myself. Doyin: People/Scholars would also say that the short life of skill is between 1-5 years. How true or real is this when we look at it from what people do within our organisation essentially? Pamay: It looks real and if you make it very personal you think about the technology that you would use now and just like everyday c

    Top 7 Skills & Mindset To Get You Ahead in Learning and Development

    Bio Formerly the senior content manager at ATD for career development and host of the Accidental Trainer podcast, Lisa Spinelli writes about career development and pathways. She is the editor and main author of Teachers to Trainers (ATD Press) and is working toward her ACC accreditation with the International Coaching Federation as a career and transition coach. Currently, she is the director of content strategy at Degreed. Spinelli also volunteers her time outside of work coaching and assisting transitioning military service members and spouses as well as disabled entrepreneurs in their new career paths.  Transcript (Abridged) Doyin: Lisa is an extraordinary person. You are welcome to the Performance Tools Podcast. Thank you for honoring my invitation, Lisa.  Lisa: It is an honor. I have been called extra before.  Doyin: Tell us about your career journey.  Lisa: I started pretty much in journalism. I went on to travel to America to do journalism. Then, I met my wonderful Airforce husband. We started having babies and I decided to stay at home; freelancing and started doing content marketing and got into the realm of career development to help me become a coach. I just finished the program last year and I am still working towards my ACC/ICF credentials but also working on ATD development news and amazing podcasts.  Doyin: So, with the state of the world; pandemic, AI, Automation- tech and all that. How can Learning and Development professionals get ahead in their careers today putting in place all these realities around us?  Lisa: There is no area that has not been affected in the world. Everybody is being affected especially the pandemic. People are looking online towards their careers, workplaces, and hybrid and they have gone virtual. They are looking more at LinkedIn Learning, online academies where they can go into and develop their skills, especially if they are just starting off in this industry- talent development. It's a booming business I have seen, and I will caution people to do their homework on people who are running these academies and feedback from those who have gone through them. Nobody is stopping anybody from starting their own business online. But you really have to do your homework. There are great academies out there for learning and development professionals whether it’s through ATD or other academies out there. You can take these courses for a relatively cheap amount and build yourself a portfolio of skills. If you are in learning and development, you definitely need to have some sort of portfolio under your belt so that you can present it to somebody or organizations if you’re looking for a job or display your thought leadership on LinkedIn or your website so that people coming to you can easily see it. Portfolios and academies have really moved online. LinkedIn is also a wonderful platform to network, to showcase some thought leadership, and join groups in order to find people with commonalities. Networking is a human trait. If you live on a social network, you live longer, you feel better. Networking is always big and I love to meet people and get to know them.  Doyin: What are some trends you are witnessing when it comes to career development?  Lisa: There is this very big talk around big quit or great resignation happening in the USA. Many people call it a great inspiration. These people seem to be stretching themselves to see what is happening in the outside world. Sometimes, taking a career break has become a big thing. The tide is really slowly turning in career development that you can take a break to go do what you love- climb mountains, do yoga, etc.   Doyin: Would you like to share the top seven skills that learning and development professionals must have right now?  Lisa
