We’ve all heard that setting priorities in our personal lives is key to achieving our goals.

Some of us hire personal coaches to get our lives in order, but when it comes to what we do within the office, all that planning goes out the window.

Organizations today are running at a much faster pace than ever before. We have technology glued to us at all times so that we can quickly respond to things.

But should we really?

This month we will talk about the benefits of prioritizing our days both at home and at work. We understand that you don’t always have control over the priorities that may be set for you in the office, but we will discuss some strategies and approaches to gaining clarity of purpose when your supervisor says something is urgent or if you are feeling like you have too many projects on your plate.

In the last session, we asked the attendees to submit relevant scenarios to discuss with our panel of experts. During our practice session, Diane & Brenda will share these experiences and strategies to help you get your time in control.

  • Has your organization or quality management team gone through the effort of adopting the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) strategy for making improvements to various processes?
  • Do you think the process has been effective?
  • Have you personally experienced or observed others changing their practices due to findings of the PDCA program in place?
  • Are people really learning anything new, applying lessons learned during retrospectives on their next endeavour?

In this session  Karen Chovan will dive into what it really takes for an organization, or even a department within, to make true gains from the PDCA process.

Leading organizations, or those referred to as “High-Velocity” in the book The High-Velocity Edge: How Market Leaders Leverage Operational Excellence to Beat the Competition  have been found to demonstrate key characteristics and capabilities, all of which revolve around the philosophy behind PDCA.

However, as you’ll see, their practices are much more holistic than just utilizing a set of tools and analysis methods to monitor performance and correct issues, as has been applied in most situations.

These lessons will be shared with the primary objective of showing their significance in how programs and projects can clearly gain from a culture shift and full adoption of such strategies, with some highlights to relevant Lean-based tools that can be utilized to engage personnel, and facilitate some of the changes required.

Coaching the Change-Makers

In his introduction to the 2016 report How Millennials Want to Work and Live, Jim Clifton, Chairman and CEO of Gallup, Inc., asserts, “Millennials will change the world decisively more than any other generation.” One reason for this, Clifton writes, is that millennials want to change the world—by doing meaningful, passion-driven work within “organizations with a mission and purpose.”

This craving for passion and purpose is one element that’s attracted millennial employees to Beyond Emancipation (B:E), a nonprofit serving soon-to-be-emancipated and former foster youth in Alameda County, California.

However, in a profession where burnout and turnover are high, the challenge for B:E is to retain and develop employees so they’re empowered to do transformative work in their clients’ lives, in their communities and in the world. B:E has addressed this challenge by weaving coaching into every aspect of the organization’s operations, from an innovative coaching-based client services model through a coach approach to employee supervision.

In this webcast, Paula Buck, (LinkedIn profile) B:E’s (Beyond Emancipation) Operations Manager,  and HR Generalist, will share how her organization has built a strong coaching culture that empowers employees of all ages and at all stages of their careers to succeed in their careers and drive meaningful social change.

Learn:

  • Why training managers and leaders in coaching skills can transform the supervisor-supervisee relationship
  • Strategies for infusing coaching into all aspects of your organization’s day-to-day operations
  • How to balance an integrated coach approach and structured opportunities for team and one-on-one-coaching
  • What one organization is doing to measure the effectiveness of coaching across the enterprise
