Consider where you are in each of the 10 areas which include:
Building Relationships

#Teams365 #3118: Working Pulse Check – Working in the office, remotely or hybrid

7/19/2022

As we move into the later part of July there are often a few weeks where things are quieter. What are you noticing about your working rhythms? I thought it would be interesting to revisit one of my past PlanDoTrack blog posts which explored 10 questions to ask yourself around work right now.

Consider these questions:
1. What are your top 3 priorities for the rest of the year? Where are these visible? Does everyone you interface with know about these?
2. When are your 1-1s scheduled with your boss? Your team?
3. Peer time - When have you scheduled meetings and outreach with your peers?
4. Deep work time - What are the times you have earmarked for the heavier thinking tasks and activities?
5. Organizing- What are the things that need to be streamlined? What items need to be organized – physically and digitally?
6. Tolerations - What is the one thing that bothered you this year that you want to fix? Maybe it was something in your office that didn't work, or something on your computer that wasn't configured right?
7. Learning - What do you have earmarked for learning? What formats will it take? Are you building in time to apply the learning you have already taken, or have you become a consumer of learning?
8. Habits - What are the habits that are doing to keep you at peak performance?
9. Boundaries -What are the boundaries around work which will help support you? As a virtual and remote team member it's easy to have the lines blur. What's important to carve out as "your time" or "Family time". When are you available for others? When are you not? Have you communicated this?
10. Renewal and peak performance - The working life of a virtual and remote professional can be sedentary at times. What are you doing to renew, energize and keep yourself at peak performance?

Enjoy the conversation,
Jennifer

#teams365 #3057 Myth of Remote Work

5/19/2022

We all can do things equally well. Research has found you can develop strengths, but it takes more effort grow weaknesses and to complete tasks which are not in your arena. Research by Gallup indicates that helping team members leverage their strengths has an impact on productivity, engagement, reduced turnover, and increased sales.210 Strengths Based leadership does not mean that people focus only on work that leverages their strengths;
they find opportunities to lead from those strengths as often as they can, as they will find
completing tasks easier, quicker, and better when able to do so.

Teams365 #2926 - Virtual Co-Working Sprints 22 For 2022: Day 3 of 22 Days- Who Do You Serve?

1/3/2022

One size does not fit all, especially in the remote and virtual space. What are the unique needs of the people you serve or are in dialogue with?

Consider the unique elements of what they really need in their virtual support – whether it‘s a live call, another email, a video they can watch at their own time, or something they can download.

Today, think about who you serve and what’s unique about their world. A great tool to tap into is the Empathy Map process which flows out of Design Thinking.

Consider the full 360-degree view of the world of your client.

What are they seeing? Doing? Hearing? Thinking?
What are the issues which are keeping them up at night?
What’s helping them spring out of bed in the morning?

Activity

Consider who your clients are. Who are they and what is important to them? What are the things which are prevalent in their world?

As you consider these elements, write them out. Then, contrast this with what you are great at, and what you are passionate about.

It's in that space, which I call the Sweet spot, that leverage in your work or business exists.

Conversation Sparkers

The most interesting thing I noticed about my client was.
In order to move my business forward, I want to focus on..
I can get into more conversations to validate these ideas with my clients by....
What is important to them right now

Enjoy your conversations,
Jennifer
