Stories of DEI

Before an organization can succeed, it must have a team. This team is the foundation upon which success will be built. Teams are not just a collection of people. They are the combination of skills and personalities that come together for a common cause. Join this conversation with Patrick Touhey as we talk about why, as a leader, you need to have effective work teams which are collaborative, supportive, and positive in your organization.

Patrick Touhey is president at Elite Performance Too – E, LLC. He was a high school basketball head coach for both boys’ and girls’ teams and a college assistant coach.
When his brother, Hall of Fame basketball coach Kevin Touhey, was dying from lung cancer, Patrick promised him he’d continue his passionate work of athletic coaching. With Elite Performance Too-E, Patrick mentors both coaches and players to tap into their hearts and passions, pursue the spirit of team sports, and become the best version of themselves.

Elite Performance Too-E emphasizes intrinsic elements rather than extrinsic metrics that sports often prioritize, such as work hours, scholarships, and individual statistics. By teaching the value of service, leadership, and team connection, Patrick and Elite Performance Too-E help athletes overcome the common selfish and self-absorbed mindset and use the athletic experience to develop as people and potential leaders. Patrick has played an integral part in coaching multiple teams to win state championships and reach their highest potential.

AnalyticsWeek Unconference Workforce Analytics Track Day (Recorded on March 28th, 2014):
AnalyticsWeek Unconference Track day was designed with a Keynote and a panel discussion. The idea was to give a strategic outlook during the keynote and bridge it with more tactical use cases that will emerge from the discussion with the panel. Each day was narrated by a track lead, whose job was to keep track of time and maximize the fun. Each panel moderator coordinated with the keynote speaker topic to keep the content bridge as intact as possible and at the same time maintain their ingenuity in crafting the panel as per their vision. All the panelists and keynote talents were carefully selected to suit the theme and they represent the industry leaders in their respective tracks.

AnalyticsWeek Unconference Workforce Analytics Track
This track is by far the most underutilized field in big data. Every Company talks about resource crunch but few do anything about it. This track was one of the most sought after track in the week. This track was led by Sachin Bhate. The track's keynote and panel were chosen to provide substantial fodder to the importance of workforce analytics and how smart big companies are doing it. Keynote for the track was the CEO of one of the leading firms in the workforce analytics domain. The moderator was chosen from the top consulting firm as they are the biggest consumer of this science. The panelists included fortune 100 business's thought leaders and doers in workforce analytics.

Panel
The workplace analytics panel was best-designed panel in the entire unconference. Each panelist was carefully chosen based on their story with workforce analytics and their use cases. The panel was moderated by Abby Cashman, Booz Allen. She did an amazing job in steering the panel to extract the thought leadership required to run a successful workforce analytics group. Panel was an all-star panel with executives from the largest bank, financial organization, high tech company, management consulting and insurance. All panelists were super cool in sharing their wins/failures and keeping the audience engaged with things they could act on. As per social media, this panel was the most socially active and engaged audience the unconference had seen.

#JobTip : Top Interview tip to help best crack that job interview

Transcript:
Welcome, everyone, to another episode of job tip in
work2dot0 episode two. And in this conversation we will talk about some of the
best practices on interview. And I think I have some of the things that I have
captured from my experience interviewing candidates, some of my best hires, and
some of things that really stood out when I interacted on even from our
interview with some of the recruiters and hiring managers who have hired some
of the ... 

And the technique is not very difficult; it's almost
similar to whether you are a fresher getting into the interview or whether you
are going for a leadership role, right?

So a simplest mindset technique that I think have ... or
at least I have seen working within many of my successful interviews that I
have conducted, that it's not like I am interviewing the candidate, it's almost
like the candidate is interviewing me, right? 

So one of the typical example is when you go to an
interview, the mindset is the interviewer would ask you some questions that you
have to answer, right? So basically he'll be on an attack mode and you will be
on a defending mode trying to prove that you are good or you are bad or
whatever, whatnot, right? 

But on the other side understand that interviewers are
humans as well, right? So if it's a hiring manager they are suffering in their
team, that suffering they want to fix with you in it, possibly, right? Or if
you're in HR you know the hiring manager is suffering, right? His team is
lacking some capability that you would bring to the table, right?

30 60 90 Day Play Plan to Career Success

30 60, 90 days to career success. But before that, welcome to Work2dot0. In this episode we talk about how talents and odds are meeting the future of work. We share the insights that we acquired from our working with job seekers and recruiters using TAO for hiring. And we bring those insights right to you. So we all could learn and have a conversation about the future.

So let's talk about an interesting problem. So we have heard from many working professionals in many ways, sometime even experienced professionals with lot of experience under their belt. And very, very common with new joinee working in a company on how to best measure the success of their role. How to perform in a way that you're appreciated within the company. And many times we realize that the workers who are actually facing this particular problem, they are in many ways exceptional workers. No problem in how they perform very high performance individuals. But somehow did the alignment seem off from what you work and what the company appreciates. And now, so what's the problem? And the typical, you can pinpoint the typical problem is that what you are performing on, what you're delivering is not in line with what the company expect from you. Or what your hiring manager is expecting from you.

Obviously besides if you take apart other political motivations behind whatever you are seeing. But even that, even if you include that, that's again a problem with alignment. That what you perform and what someone expects from you is not aligning well. So how to address that particular problem? And we if you have not heard about this theory, its 30, 60, 90 day rule. It has one, it has worked miraculously in helping professionals achieved that or fixed that so call alignment. So first let's talk about why we have misalignment. So we all are individual, we all are working. We all have created our own ways to deliver an outcome. Now, if we join a particular company, we are joining in a totally different culture. Its luck if they are in same culture of where I am, where I've been groomed and trained in, then life is good.
But if in most of the cases, every business is different, every business has a different history behind it. And they have different culture. So now once you're joining a particular company, you have certain way to deliver an outcome. You have a certain way to measure an outcome. You have a certain way to understand the productivity that you are working on. But then when you do it with that, the company might be off in understanding how they measure your productivity, how they measure your outcome. And that really it's not your fault because you are performing the way you are supposed to, the way you have been performing and gaining success. It's just that you're not performing the way you are expected to perform. So how to fix that problem? In a typical enterprise world, we have this beautiful world word called maturity. And this relationship between you and the company is lacking the understanding of the maturity. And you cannot change the company to suit your narrative.
