Join our CPO @dessalen to learn about how to #communicate effectively with your people to build trust and connection at a time when they really need it!
Why is direct #communication from leaders so important? Because without constant communication, people make worse assumptions (yes, even worse than what's happening right now).
Your first exchange gives you the amazing opportunity to address people's actual concerns and questions. You don't need to have all the answers! Feeling heard and acknowledged – even if the answer is "I don't know" – will go a long way in reassuring people.
Follow up with exchanges that address the needs that come up in your first exchange to continue communication, and to show that leadership is willing to respond to and address the needs of their communities!
And just in case you didn't know – we're offering our platform for FREE right now. Because of the extraordinary circumstances we're finding ourselves in, you can run an unlimited number of exchanges, with unlimited participants. Sign up here: thoughtexchange.com/keep-people-co…
Some leaders are feeling too overwhelmed to communicate as frequently as they should. The best thing about Thoughtexchange is its very quick and easy to use – and the impact it has on the participants is massive!
Our event Start Fast, Finish Strong: How to Keep the Momentum Going is on! Join @JaymeSmithers and Jessica Livingstone to learn how to keep the momentum going with your team through 2021. Join here: bit.ly/2YYZsiY
How do you win – and continue to win – in the midst of #disruption? The traditional tools and strategies aren't working. We need to take a new path in #salesenablement and #revenue.
Are you planning your #sko or did you already run your annual #saleskickoff? 2021 is all about tackling the challenges 2020 brought to the forefront.
Starting with an exercise to see where we are all coming from. Not geographically, but measuring our white privilege through a series of questions. We are all coming to this conversation from different places, we recognize and embrace this. #BringPeopleTogether#TeVE
@EquitySupt1 reminds us that Feb. is set aside for #BlackHistoryMonth. Learnings that have come from Martin Luther King for Dennis - racial metamorphosis. White allies for MLK? He found them amongst other clergy. He called on them to be a part of his work. #BringPeopleTogether
@KafrissenKai starts us off with a group activity to recognize our White Privilege. Kai acknowledges that she is showing up today in her own way, and leaning into these conversations as best she can. How are you showing up today? #BringPeopleTogether#TeVirtualEvents
@EquitySupt1 reminds us why we are bringing people together for this work. 90% of school district leaders in the US are white. 90% also stated that the work of #DEI is important but only 20% believe that they are equipped with the skills and talent to lead this work! #Equity
@KafrissenKai opens with a heartfelt welcome. In this work we are supporting each other! We (@thoughtxchng) are learning & growing (with you). We are committed to showing up at co-conspirators, we won't let "perfection" immobile us in starting this important work! #Equity 💜
We're LIVE with Dr. Devon Horton, @EquitySupt1 & @KafrissenKai to learn about how to establish working definitions on the equity journey. Follow along in this thread ⤵️ and by using #TeVirtualEvents and #TeVE.
We are thrilled to see over 100 people making this virtual event a priority! Think of this #TeVE as a prerequisite to your #equity conversations. We will look at how to establish definitions, gain consensus to avoid triggering participants, & lead productive conversations. #DEI
@KafrissenKai - We are stronger together! What is Kai seeing with our customers around #DEI? Leaders are making this an ongoing conversation! Shared definitions are helping to avoid different meanings for different people to facilitate our learning. #BringPeopleTogether
