What happens when you leave 8 smart team members in a room with no formal agenda for 11 minutes? A giant mountain of learning. 95% of learning happens in informal ways. It's simple. Great questions + listening + collaboration = Learning leaps. Fresh solutions. Energy for action. Think twice before you control every meeting minute. 11 minutes just may change everything. #learning #team #collaboration

Here are some tips to help students achieve success in group work: 1. Establish roles and responsibilities: Clearly define each student's role and responsibilities within the group to avoid confusion and ensure that tasks are evenly distributed. This can help prevent one person from taking on too much work or others from feeling overwhelmed. 2. Set clear goals: Establishing clear goals and objectives for the group work can help students stay focused and motivated. This can also help prevent misunderstandings and ensure everyone is working towards a common purpose. 3. Communication is key: Encourage students to communicate openly and frequently with their group members. This can help clarify tasks, identify challenges, and ensure everyone is on the same page. 4. Encourage collaboration: Foster a collaborative environment where students feel comfortable sharing ideas, providing feedback, and working together towards a shared goal. This can enhance the overall quality of the group work and promote a sense of unity among team members. 5. Provide support and guidance: Offer support and guidance to students throughout the group work process. This can include providing resources, answering questions, and offering feedback to help students overcome challenges and achieve their goals. By implementing these tips, students can enhance their group work skills and work together more effectively towards successful outcomes. 🤝👥🙌🎉🤝🏼💪🏼🏆 #groupwork #teamwork #collaboration #workingtogether #teamworktips #groupprojects #effectivecommunication #teamsuccess #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #groupdynamics

A lot of my work right now at Prossimo Global Partners is focused on our Mentor training programs. Without going into specifics, each leverage various tools to help accelerate relationships and bridge one's personal purpose to that of their work. I may be biased, but I find it a very sincere approach to building strong working relationships. I'm also seeing how the skills learned in the mentoring practice can transcend the mentor-mentee relationships to ultimately benefit the entire organization. *Social Begets Social* Even when a mentor program focuses only on high-potentials, the experience of these synchronous and asynchronous meetings teaches these select people new ways to communicate, listen and question that can slowly cascade to other contexts such as team meetings, employee review sessions, and collaborative cross-function work, improving outcomes and attitudes. Those not in the mentor programs benefit through social learning opportunities as they observe those more well versed leveraging the skills and tools regularly. A double win! Mentoring in business settings, as I have learned, is one of the least utilized but most profoundly impactful approaches to employee development, retention and trust-building. It's long term cost is minimal as well, as programs often only require time commitments because the technology needed is most organizations already have; video conferencing, collaborative tech platforms and email. As I write this, I wonder why mentoring is not more of a priority for companies. Given what's of greatest concern for many businesses today, things like turnover, engagement and succession planning - what's holding them back? #Mentoring #SocialLearning #Development #EmployeeEngagement #Retention #SocialByDesign

7/10 CEOs worry their employees lack the right skills for the future. But the skills required to do our jobs are expected to change by 65% in the next 6 years (Atvis, 2024) So, even the CEOs who worry now, don’t know what the specific technical skills are that we’ll need to learn. All we know is that learning new skills and learning from experience will be vital in the future. Reflective Practice is an awesome… practice to help you build your learning culture. It’s tricky to do well, but its formula is simple. Next time your team is talking about something that went well, or not so well, try asking the group - what happened, how did it feel and what can we do with that? -- 👋 We're Playgrounded. We offer 1:1 coaching, team workshops, offsite support and contracted group dynamics expertise to help hybrid & remote teams get more done, and have more fun 🎉

When I first introduced skills sharing among team members as a way to complement our regular meetings, I had no idea it would become such a powerful tool for collaboration and growth. Here's the magic: team members lead facilitated sessions, sharing their expertise with colleagues. Other than fostering deep learning across the team, it also hones everyone's presentation and training skills. The impact has been phenomenal! Now that program has a new leader - vivian osano and the improvements she has made cannot be overstated: Presentations are sharper, delivery is more engaging, and the entire program has reached new heights under her guidance. After todays session on Self Care by our in-house counsellor - Diana Atieno It's become clear that this approach to skills sharing is a model I can confidently recommend to any company or organization. Here's the takeaway: EVERYONE has something valuable they can teach others, and EVERYONE has something they can learn from others. If you are feeling inspired, try it! Suggest a skills sharing program at your workplace! And if you need help getting started, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to share some insights. Let's unlock the potential within our teams and create a culture of continuous learning! #skillshare #collaboration #teamwork #professionaldevelopment
