Successful businesses are dynamic! They innovate, grow and are constantly striving to better serve the current and future needs of their customers. But as businesses change, so do their needs for their own people. Our discussion will focus around why prioritizing the “4Cs” will help create a thriving, dynamic People Experience for your employees. For a Diamond, the 4Cs describe Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat weight. For a Dynamic People Experience, the 4Cs describe Cost, Compliance, Culture, and Continuity. Cost: What costs are associated with business operations? Insurance, technology, human capital management, etc.? Compliance: Understanding risks to your business and colleagues Culture: Is your People Experience aligned across teams; career, social, physical, financial and community wellbeing? Continuity: Alignment of Executive, Finance, Legal, Finance, Operations and Human Resources teams towards jointly defined goals Allocating time to define the 4Cs will help give all parties a deeper understanding of your corporate culture, exposure for all decision makers to ensure a cohesive strategic direction, and accelerated internal/external business partnerships. Join Jeff Bastien of RogersGray on Wednesday, March 20th at 12pm as we walk through a case study of an organization that used the 4Cs to create a Dynamic People Experience for their employees and learn how to apply them to your own organization.

The more we talk about self-doubt, the more people will think, "Maybe not all our leaders have that confidence I expect, and if I have self-doubt then that's okay too."' Jacinda Ardern New Zealand Prime Minister, December 2020. Everyone has doubt. Whether it’s thinking that you don’t have enough or the right information to make a decision, you are hesitant to speak up in a meeting because you aren’t sure of your opinion, or you are questioning your ability to get a job done, doubt can cripple our confidence, hamper our effectiveness at work, and prevent us from achieving our professional goals. However, we are hardwired to doubt, and our professional happiness and effectiveness can be greatly improved if we stop thinking of doubt as the enemy, and see doubt as an ally that can drive growth and development. Think of the number of times that you did something – a new hobby, a new job, a decision at work. Did you go into it with 100% certainty? Most likely, you had some doubt, uncertainty, or something that you didn’t know. Seeking better or more information can be helpful at times, but chasing certainty is futile. Regarding certainty, many leaders would say “if you’re that clear, you’ve probably missed something.” Successful leaders learn how to use to doubt to protect against this false sense of security. In this discussion, you will: - Understand what happens to the brain when doubt and uncertainty occur and how that impacts our actions and reactions - Learn how to turn doubt from a source of anxiety to a source of focus and insight - Identify how to channel your doubt to increase your humility and curiosity.
