Work Style Differences - Strategies to Manage & Even Benefit from Them
Do your colleagues and team members do exactly what you expect them to do? Do you agree with every decision they make? Do you understand one another 100% of the time? If you're human, I suspect your answer is "no". And that may lead you to believe things would be much easier if everyone would just think & act the same way you did, right? I know I've had that thought.
But fortunately, that will never be the case. We differ from one another for a billion plus reasons, & age, gender, industry, culture, country & role are just a few. In this session, I'll share some of the additional reasons, beyond what meets the eye, & I'll share some strategies for managing & even mutually benefiting from them.

Description of the program: As our lives become increasingly digital, we’re getting more adept at skimming and sampling huge volumes of information… while doing something else at the same time. We live in a state of continuous partial attention, with unlimited amounts of data always at our fingertips. But as we train our brains to switch tasks and scan, we’re rapidly losing our ability to concentrate, contemplate, and truly connect with others. Research shows that trust, empathy, and attunement are critical components of high-performing teams. So how do we build these values and skills (which are central to Emotional Intelligence) when so many of our relationships are mediated by screens and devices?
