Over 30 years of Blood, Sweat & Tears - There's No Crying at NASA Over 30 years of Blood, Sweat & Tears - There's No Crying at NASA This talk, jointly presented with Jon Boyle, Ph.D., covers critical knowledge gained from experience at NASA and addresses strategic imperatives in the modern complex project environment that present challenges for organizational efficiency and effectiveness. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Fatigue journeys vary from person to person - no two experiences are the same. But there's one challenging topic that seems to feature in most people's journeys at one time or another... communication! In this webinar recording I share tips and advice on how to tackle five of the most common conversation challenges when you're on a fatigue recovery journey. How this webinar will help you There are many reasons why conversations with others can be challenging when you've got fatigue - the key one being that fatigue challenges seem to be very difficult to understand (or even believe) if you haven't been through one yourself. And this really doesn't help when it comes to interacting with others - whether that be your loved ones, colleagues, or those you've only just met. I've helped countless people figure out how to communicate with those around them, in ways that don't negatively impact their health - while keeping both parties feeling as positive about the interaction as possible. This has given me a clear view of the most common challenges people face, and the solutions that tend to work best. And that's what I share with you in this recording of a webinar held recently. Of course, conversations are contextual and every single one is unique. But the tips and suggestions I share here can be tailored and customised to many different situations. I can't commit to running this as a live event terribly often, so I recorded the last time I ran it - and now offer it to you to purchase on demand. Meaning you can access this help straight away!

A fatigue-related condition doesn’t only impact the life of the person who's ill, it often changes things for you, their loved ones. Adjusting to this can be tough for you, and it can be difficult to know how to best help them.This webinar will increase your understanding of what life feels like for your loved one, and help you know how to support them on their recovery journey, while looking after yourself too. Why can this help me? The person you love and care for is still there, they just can’t live the life they used to be able to live - not for now, anyway. It’s very possible for them to achieve improvements and even full recovery, but it takes time, patience and a lot of adjustment. One of the most important things someone with extreme fatigue must do is reprioritise what they use their valuable energy on. They have to make sensible decisions around what they should do every single day, and that’s bound to impact you too. They might also experience emotional ups and downs that you’re not used to them displaying. Adjusting to this can be tough for those of you who are supporting them, as can knowing how you can best help them.  This webinar will help you process how this is affecting your life too, and give you guidance around how to best support your loved one on their recovery journey, while looking after yourself too.

The Innovator's Mindset What makes a person an innovator? The key differentiator is their mindset. Practicing certain skills can improve your innovative possibilities. Innovators build on their area of expertise; they are prepared. They often have a deep understanding of a field - but this does not confine their thinking - it provides a strong foundation to build, experiment, and learn. They start with a 'blank slate', observing, curious, questioning, digging deeper, broadening horizons, seeking diverse intersections, seeing the possibilities. Extreme paradigm shifts occur when diverse intersections occur serendipitously, resulting in discovery and value creation. The future is unpredictable; however, we can be prepared for a future unlike today by having an innovator's mindset. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

How Servant Leadership Drives Success Habitat for Humanity International´s Approach to Culture, Engagement, and Results A servant leadership culture engages employees and other stakeholders to create success and investment in the future. At Habitat for Humanity International, many of our employees are exceptionally committed to the mission and purpose of the organization driving high employee engagement, strong growth and resulting impact in providing decent, affordable housing around the world. A key element of our culture is our approach to servant leadership. Servant leadership includes a focus on: Integrity and moral reasoning; Serving followers not just for the good of the organization but for their personal development as well; Concern with the success of all stakeholders; Self-reflection and humility. A servant leadership culture is not without challenges, but ideally results in treating people in the way they like to be treated. It also ensures that leadership is continuously seeking feedback and challenging itself to learn and improve. Habitat is currently refining our cultural values and leadership behaviors to drive and support an aggressive strategy of drawing nearer to a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We are inspired by this important mission, and we're engaging our employees globally in defining how each of them will personally execute on the mission. We'll share the process we've gone through to engage everyone in the refinement of our cultural values and how we've integrated our servant leadership capability model in all aspects of our talent management processes.

We hear how helpful it is to exercise regularly for health and wellbeing. But when you have fatigue it can be difficult to know if this is going to help or hinder. And suspecting it could be the latter, then when is it the right time to start to feel confident about moving more...and gradually starting to exercise? How this webinar will help you I've helped hundreds of people to navigate this element of their recovery journey and I've used this experience to share in this webinar the most successful ways to plan for, and introduce, movement and exercise.  Who is this webinar for? Anyone who thinks they might be nearing a stage where exercise could well be possible again and are keen to ensure it goes well! Whether the goal be to walk, swim, cycle etc.    Please note: This event isn't about how to re-condition and move from severe fatigue to achieving some level of activity. That requires careful 1:1 guidance via my coaching service. This webinar is for those who have a base level of activity but want to be smart about where to build from there.   My help is relevant to anyone tackling a fatigue recovery journey - whether that be due to ME/CFS, Long Covid etc, or perhaps post-operative recovery. Basically, anyone who has - or has had - an energy-related issue that's meant they have to be very careful about what they commit to doing each day.   What topics do you cover?   How to spot when you're doing well enough to start thinking about exercising again How to feel confident about starting to do more The types of exercise that seem to go well at first Guidance and tips about HOW to start incorporating exercising into your recovery plan This is a recording of a live webinar that I held a short time ago. After the main presentation we held a Q&A session, and by purchasing this recording you'll also have access to a written capture of the questions asked, and my responses.
