� � � � � � Hybrid workers are 'coffee badging' to spend less time in the office and dodge RTO mandates -     The workplace trend involves showing up at the office, grabbing a coffee, and then leaving to complete the workday somewhere else. Employees collect a metaphorical "badge" for visiting the office, even if it's only for a few hours. Stylist reported on the trend this week and interviewed Liz Villani, the founder of #BeYourselfAtWork and the #iAM global movement, who referred to "coffee badging" as "presenteeism in the most fleeting of methods." People used the process as a way to swiftly get back to their default option of working from home, she said. Continued here � � � � � � Don't like ads? Go ad-free with TradeBriefs Premium Help Your Employees Develop the Skills They Really Need - Harvard Business Review    The future of work will not be determined by technology, but by creating the right mix of education, exposure, and experience needed to develop skills and put them to work, creating a vastly more productive workplace and economy. In this article, the authors recommend a “70/20/10” learning model, in which only 10% of learning comes from formal instruction (education), 20% from social learning or mentorship (exposure), and 70% from hands-on, experiential practice with feedback (experience). By adopting this model, organizations can ensure that employees not only understand new skills, but that they can apply them effectively in different contexts. It is the crucial 70% of learning in the flow of work that is most often neglected, and most needed to build the skills needed to succeed in the future. In an age of disruption, the only viable strategy is to adapt, and that has never been more true than it is today. A generation ago, the half-life of the value of a skill was approximately 26 years. Now the half-life is often less than five years. So, it is perhaps not surprising that, globally, corporations are expected to invest more than $380 billion in learning and development programs this year. Yet we need to do better. We know that, after decades of trying, skills related to lean manufacturing, agile development and overcoming unconscious bias, just to name a few, are woefully under-adopted in most organizations. In fact, a recent report by McKinsey found that 87% of firms surveyed expect to have a skills gap in the next five years. Continued here � � � � � � Are You a Highly Sensitive Person? These 27 Questions Will Tell You - Inc.com    Just about everyone can tell you if they're an introvert or an extrovert. Corporate settings are full of people conversant in the language of Myers Briggs types. And it's not uncommon to hear people half-joke they have "a touch of OCD" or "one foot on the spectrum." All these once academic terms have become pop psychology commonplaces.  Research shows that somewhere between 20 and 30 percent of us are highly sensitive, depending on which expert's numbers you believe. If you're one of these extra-sensitive folks, it doesn't just mean you're someone who tears up easily at sad movies or takes criticism harder than others. Extra sensitivity is a psychologically recognized phenomenon that has to do with how people's brains are wired and how stimuli affects them. In short, the highly sensitive person needs only a little input to register a big effect on their interior state.  "The person with high sensitivity will be more responsive, both for better and for worse," Bianca Acevedo, a neuroscientist who has studied highly sensitive people, explains on PsyBlog. When Acevedo's team gave study subjects descriptions of emotionally evocative events and then scanned their brains, they saw differences in how highly sensitive people processed the scenes.  Continued here � � � � � � Arnold Schwarzenegger's Simple Approach to Achieving Huge Goals Is the Success Mindset You Should Adopt Today - Inc.com    One of the chapters in Arnold Schwarzenegger's new book, Be Useful: 7 Tools for Life, is "Sell, Sell, Sell." That's why, to promote the book, Schwarzenegger currently seems to be everywhere. Podcasts. Television. Magazines. He sees selling as a vital part of every success story. (That's especially true for entrepreneurs; no matter what your formal role, every startup founder is also in sales.) Communicating. Pitching. Marketing. Convincing others. Convincing yourself. It's not enough to want to start a successful business. You also have to want the work: the constant planning, implementing, selling, learning. It's not enough to want to be a great leader.
