✨ Employee Spotlight Insight!✨ Recently, TalentLaunch asked me an intriguing question while filling out an employee spotlight form: “In your opinion, what is the most important invention?” Initially, I thought of the jet plane, but upon deeper reflection, my answer changed to something far more personal: the mirror. 🪞 Why the mirror? In college, I had a coach that challenged us to look in the mirror every night and ask, "Did I give 100% today? Was I the best student I could be?" Throughout life's ups and downs, this ritual has grounded me and led me to demand more of myself. Before mirrors, how did people truly reflect and dig deep within themselves? Today, we often take it for granted, but the ability to look into our own eyes and demand more of ourselves is a powerful tool for growth and self-improvement. What invention has had the most impact on your life? Share your thoughts! 👇 #EmployeeSpotlight #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #TalentLaunch #Inspiration

Talent management is a comprehensive strategy that goes far beyond the completion of tools like the 9-box grid. While the 9-box grid is useful for identifying and categorising employees based on their performance and potential, it is only a snapshot in time and does not capture the full complexity of talent management. True talent management requires a continual, holistic approach that integrates multiple dimensions of employee development, engagement, and organisational alignment. Firstly, talent management involves nurturing and developing employees' skills and capabilities. This includes providing training and development programs that are aligned with both the employees' career aspirations and the organisation’s strategic goals. Regular feedback, coaching, and mentoring are critical elements that help employees grow and stay motivated. Such activities are dynamic and ongoing, far surpassing what a 9-box grid can encapsulate. In addition to development, talent management encompasses employee engagement and retention strategies. Keeping employees engaged involves understanding their needs, providing meaningful work, recognising their contributions, and fostering a positive organisational culture. Engaged employees are more likely to be productive, innovative, and loyal to the organisation. This level of engagement can rarely be captured effectively by a static grid. Moreover, talent management is intrinsically linked to succession planning and future-proofing the organisation. Identifying high-potential employees and grooming them for leadership roles ensures that the organisation is prepared for future challenges. This requires a deep understanding of each employee's career trajectory, aspirations, and readiness to take on more significant responsibilities. While the 9-box grid might help in identifying potential leaders, it is the ongoing, tailored development plans that truly prepare them for future roles. Finally, effective talent management requires a strategic alignment between the organisation’s goals and its talent strategy. This means understanding the strategic direction of the organisation and ensuring that the workforce has the right mix of skills, experiences, and capabilities to execute that strategy. It involves workforce planning, talent acquisition, and aligning individual performance with organisational objectives. The 9-box grid cannot reflect the strategic alignment needed for long-term success. In conclusion, while the 9-box grid is a useful tool in the talent management toolkit, it is far from sufficient on its own. True talent management demands a comprehensive, ongoing, and strategic approach that covers development, engagement, succession planning, and alignment with organisational goals. It is an intricate blend of art and science, requiring continuous attention and adaptation to meet both employee needs and organisational objectives. ☎️ +44 (0)7976 028132 📧 Info@learntogrow.me 🌐 www.learntogrow.me

One of the biggest myths I see leaders fall prey to is the idea that they must have all the answers to help their team grow. And then they avoid long-term development discussions because they don't feel capable of doing so. The truth is you don't need to have the answers. In fact, TELLING someone how to do anything is not motivating or really that supportive. (Just think about how you feel when someone tells you how to live your life). What do you do? Just hold the space for them to figure it out! They are the experts on themselves anyway. WHEW! Was it me, or did you feel that pressure valve just shut off?! If you're thinking, okay, Erica sounds simple enough, but HOW do I do this? The GROW Coaching Model is one of my favorite tools to help facilitate career and long-term development conversations. Here's how it works: 🎯 GOAL: Ask questions to understand WHAT your teammate wants. What's their dream? Where do they want to go next? What capabilities do they want to grow? 📍 REALITY: Good coaching always starts with exploring the present state. Ask questions to help them explore their current situation, what opportunities and resources are available to them, and what might get in their way. 💡 OPTIONS: Facilitate a brainstorming session to generate ideas of actions they could take to reach their stated goal. The best question to ask here is, "What else could you do?". If you want to offer a suggestion, do it without attachment. 🎬 WILL: Establish commitment to a plan of action. Ask what they will do, when they will do it, and how you can help them be successful. And that's it—a simple framework for a hugely impactful conversation. This is important because what do employees want? CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING Give it to them with this tool, and watch the magic happen! #internationalcoachingweek #leadership #coachingskills

...Join me for my upcoming webinar! 📢 🤓 “Managing emotions in termination meetings. Typical reactions and how to deal with them” Termination meetings often elicit emotions that can manifest in various ways on both sides of the table. On the one hand, from the dismissed employee; on the other, from the manager who is to deliver the unpleasant news. ☠ Why is it important for organizations to provide their managers with the right tools to conduct a termination meeting? 🤓 😡 To avoid them having an impact on the overall organization's morale. 😡To make sure the process is transparent and bearable for the employee. 😡To reduce the likelihood of a legal dispute arising at a later stage. 😡To reduce the levels of stress that managers handle. That is why we have put together this training. The following are our learning objectives: ✅Prepare and conduct effectively a termination meeting. ✅Read the employee’s emotions and know how to deal with them. ✅Read your own emotions and make sure they don’t interfere with the discussion. ☝ Because let's face it - most Managers do NOT receive training on how to be a Manager. We are all just thrown into it on top of our functional focus. This training will take place  👉 Thursday, June 27, 2024 👉15:00 h China Time - 09:00 CET (Duration: 60 minutes, including Q&A) You can secure your spot here: https://lnkd.in/dYjxdZcK Did you ever receive training on terminations? How is this handled in your company - based on your experience?

During an interview, it's important to remember that if you have a question — ask it while making eye contact. You can ask your interviewer many great questions. Indeed, the saying is true: no question is ever foolish, but some questions might make you seem unprepared. Be sure to ask smart, educated questions so you can demonstrate yourself as a valuable thought leader for their business.

To have knowledge means to know or be aware of things. Knowledge is understanding gained through learning or experience. You read a recipe to gain knowledge about baking a fish pie. When it burns in the oven, experience gives you the knowledge that you need to stop doing three things at once.
