Curiosity exists in the realm of the unknown, and it cannot be predicted or directed. Joanie Connell of Flexible Work Solutions returns in this episode of the CTO Studio Podcast to discuss how we can learn from not knowing.  Team members can preface their questions by stating their curiosity, Joanie shares. Saying “I'd like to take a moment to be curious” immediately identifies the present time as inquiry mode, opening the floor to others to share their curiosity as well. Fueling your curiosity with rage takes away from the genuine desire to learn something new because you have a specific end in mind with your questioning.  Participative curiosity is performative, whereas reflective curiosity is introspective. Participative curiosity only appears to be curiosity, but when this is applied, you're not absorbing anything. Reflective curiosity, however, occurs when you are actually open to changing your mind and willing to consider something new.  It's important to have diverse perspectives in teams to stir creativity. Whether people agree or disagree, keeping the conflict centered around the issue they disagree on can lead to more creative solutions or more thorough answers.

We all have beliefs and behaviors we carry through our lives that can become saboteurs in certain situations. These internal saboteurs can be problematic when they keep people from reaching important goals and outcomes, and they can infect teams with defensiveness and mistrust, eroding relationships as they go. Our favorite organizational psychologist, Dr. Joanie Connell is back to give us some insight about these saboteurs, and she's offering a program that helps individuals and teams recognize their saboteurs and the stress that triggers them, and allow people to have more freedom to choose their responses instead of habitually reacting. If you're interested in identifying your saboteurs, there is an assessment available at https://positiveintelligence.com Joanie can be reached at https://flexibleworksolutions.com and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanieconnell/ #positiveintelligence #organizationalpsychology #selfsabotage --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/franklin-taggart9/message

Asking questions is an outcome of curiosity, and curiosity leads to questions - but not all questions represent curiosity. Joanie Connell of Flexible Work Solutions returns in this episode of the CTO Studio Podcast to share how to foster curiosity in our teams by changing the way we ask questions. Open-ended questions invite people to answer in ways that reveal their thoughts and ideas. Beginning a question with “I wonder if…” is a great way to start, Joanie shares. Reserving judgement is key. Genuine curiosity withholds assumptions, leaving space for people to speak freely and convey what they mean without fear of being judged. Curiosity within relationships is about feeling excited to see what the partnership and intention you're setting with someone is going to produce. We are often imperfect communicators, but we may be even worse when we're curious. In our haste to learn, we may unintentionally convey the wrong message to people by how we phrase our questions and tone of voice. We should be mindful of being approachable when asking questions. Better yet, we can also tell others how we'd like to be spoken to, and how to phrase their questions in ways that don't cause harm. Resources Joanie Connell on LinkedIn | Twitter | Website

Empathy is more than simply putting yourself in someone else's shoes - it begins with curiosity and asking questions. Joanie Connell, founder of Flexible Work Solutions, defines curiosity and describes how being curious can help interpersonal relations at work. She joins Etienne de Bruin to discuss how leaders can nurture curiosity among team members. Part of the curiosity mindset is the courage to take risks, be vulnerable, and try things that may not work. In relationships, being inquisitive can be difficult since it often involves asking people what they're feeling even when you don't know what that might be. You have to be humble and be open to the possibility that you may be mistaken. By setting expectations for how questioning will be used, leaders can establish a culture of curiosity. Employees may be hesitant to ask questions for fear of being punished, so leaders must take the initiative to make their environment a safe zone for curiosity. There is a time and place for curiosity; if you keep the questions rolling at a bad time, you can slow the process down and miss deadlines.

If you've been paying attention over the past year, there has been an explosion of interest in using online assessments, quizzes, personality tests, and other interactive tools as marketing and sales stimulators. Ryan Levesque's Quiz Funnel webinars drew a huge crowd of people looking to learn how to create quizzes that would get people past the door of their business and become customers. Interact, a company that offers a platform for quiz design and hosting offers dozens of easy to adapt quiz templates so even the least statistics oriented among us can create a compelling and interesting quiz experience for our social media, websites, email, and anywhere you can copy and paste an HTML code.

Who better to help us understand the psychology of people in tech than a former engineer now licensed psychologist?! Joanie Connell is that very person and she is here to talk about the issues CTOs face in leading their teams. Joanie works with dev teams and technical teams on their communication. We talk about how she does that, what some of the common issues are regarding team communication in tech today and a whole lot more. Join us to hear more about the psychology of people in tech on today’s CTO Studio. In this episode, you’ll hear: What are the top challenges she sees regarding communication in tech today? Why it's important as a CTO to expand your communication toolkit. How can you deal with feeling triggered in the workplace? Why addressing uncomfortable feelings often brings people closer. What are tell tale signs you are too deep into the tech effect? And so much more! Before becoming a psychologist, Joanie was an engineer for eight years in Silicon Valley. She began as a data communications design engineer for Tandem computers. Tandem was one of the big computer companies back then right alongside HP and Apple. Tandem made mainframe computers and they had parallel processors (hence the name tandem) for everything so they would never go down. One of their biggest clients was the New York Stock Exchange. She did data communications which meant she helped mainframes communicate with modems to other computers. I asked Joanie how she made the switch to psychology - what happened that convinced her to work with the people side of tech? Joanie recalls she had gone into engineering because she thought it was a good stable job with a good income. She didn't want to be a millionaire, she just wanted a good living. People had always interested in her but it became obvious when the other engineers were so into their work they would be debugging til 2am, and she couldn't wait to leave. She realized then that the work wasn't satisfying and she felt stagnant in her work. One story she recalls is a time when there were 12 in their group and they had a manager who they met with once a month. They'd get into the conference room and you could feel the tension because no one wanted to be there. The manager would go around the room and each person had to update on their project. By person #12 everyone would be ready to leave. When that last person finished it was like school was out and everyone would run out of the room! She saw the people she was with didn't want to be around other people and they didn't have the skills to work with others, either. Engineers are trained to design, debug and code and they are not trained on how to interact with others. Joanie realized this could be a space in which she could make a difference; she coulod help engineers and other tech people communicate better. To bring more of her skills to the people side of the working world, she tried marketing and then consulting. But eventually she decided to go back to graduate school because she would find herself being pushed back into engineering roles and more technical positions. She realized she would have to re-specialize so people would see beyond her engineering background. But before making the leap, she took some night classes in Psychology to be sure this was the route she wanted to go down. And before becoming a psychologist, she considered being a therapist or counselor. A volunteer experience on a hotline convinced her otherwise, so she opted for social psychology with an emphasis on organizations and the workplace. After a few years of working for a consulting firm and teaching at university, she formed Flexible Work Solutions. Her company provides assessment for leaders and teams of people, her personal niche is with technical people. What types of scenarios does she typically get called in to work on? There are a few. One might be where a company is looking at their directors and above (their executive team) and the company evaluates what skill sets they currently have, who is going to get promoted and what is their succession plan. She works with a company in this situation by doing an assessment: figuring out who has what skill sets, and what the team currently has and what they might want to develop or hire for the future. Another scenario is individuals who have just moved up into leadership positions - this is especially common in the engineering world and the biotech world. A person has a particular expertise and then are promoted to a leadership role in which they have to utilize an entirely new set of skills outside of their expertise. She helps them through trainings and coaching. Because she has some much experience in a variety of tech companies, I asked Joanie to tell us one of the top challenges she sees regarding communication in the workplace. Joanie says with the technical people, a challenge she often sees is a lack of value attached to people skills. There's more emphasis on using data and relying on data, rather than looking at potential emotional reasons that may exist. For example, people have outside factors that affect them at work and those are things that leaders must be able to address. I agree and think this is a common issue we have in tech today. We tend to negate the emotional side of things. Joanie goes on to tell us some tools we might consider using to help with team communication. We also talk about how to speak authentically, how to structure meetings to do check in with your team and more on today's CTO Studio.

What do you like doing? Does it make an appearance at your day job? Bringing more of yourself and who you are at your core into your workplace should be mandatory. If it is the fear of starting fresh in a whole different career or new industry that is stopping you from finding a new path where you can be authentic in your work, don't worry about that. All is not lost as you change careers, every experience counts and the skills you gain throughout your career journey will be carried with you, adding more value to your skill set. Changing careers to align your work with who you are is not only liberating, but it will also give you better chances for long-term career success and fulfillment. Our guest, Joanie Connell, knows exactly how it feels to be doing work that she was slowly losing interest in as her passions began to come into light. For her, the importance of being more authentic in her work led her to leave her engineering career and go back to school to dig deeper into her passion for people. She was also able to carry her experiences in the technology and engineering field into her new business venture as a consultant. Listen to our chat with Joanie as she shares her story of leaving her engineering career to live a more authentic life to pursue a career that fueled her passion for helping people while utilizing her strengths in leadership. http://www.happentoyourcareer.com/144

Joanie Connell explains how “helicopter parenting”—hovering over and doing too many things for your kids, protecting them, and not letting them learn those skills themselves—is leading to problems when they get older and enter the workplace. In her executive coaching work, Dr. Connell often hears complaints about younger people coming into the workplace lacking some of the basic life skills that are necessary to succeed, like being independent, resilient, having good communication skills, and creativity. She offers solutions in her book, Flying Without a Helicopter.

Joanie Connell always liked making things and solving problems and was fascinated by the math and science behind how things work. With her electrical engineering degree from Harvard, Silicon Valley seemed like the perfect place to launch her career. After staying up into the wee hours of the morning debugging circuitry, for days on end, however, she had to face the hard truth…. She earned a doctorate in psychology from UC Berkeley and now specializes in leadership assessment, development and retention for all levels. She is also an executive coach and the author of "Flying Without a Helicopter: How to Prepare Young People for Work and Life."

Parents often have the best intentions. We want the best (and the most) for our kids. But when parents consistently over-function in their role by stepping in and doing the work for the kids, they may end up raising young adults who under-function. "We see in the workplace that these young people aren't as resilient, as adaptable, not as able to be independent or to communicate effectively because they haven't had the opportunity to learn those skills, " says psychologist Joanie Connell, author of Flying Without a Helicopter: How To Prepare Young People for Work and Life. Annie talks with Joanie about parenting with a lighter touch so your kids can learn to do the heavy work life requires of them.

Playing Small Moment After Joanie had graduated with her Psychology degree, she decided to apply for the CSPP (California School of Professional Psychology). When CSPP made the offer, she accepted the salary, which was in alignment with the wage Berkley stated. Joanie didn’t counter; she accepted it as is. The program director at CSPP boosted her salary because he realized she didn’t negotiate and was worth more than she was initially offered. The Wake Up Call Joanie had her wake up call after she left her previous job of being a professor over a decade ago. Joanie became a consultant and wasn’t sure what she could offer others that hadn’t been offered before. One of her contacts called her to develop an assessment center for executives; they told her the reason why, she was reliable, ethical, structured, and would get the job done. Joanie realized at that moment what her brand was going to be. Style of Leadership Situational is Joanie’s leadership style. Listening and paying attention to what's needed in any given situation and being adaptable. What Are You Excited About?

On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Dr. Joanie Connell, an author, organizational consultant, and leadership coach who helps people achieve their highest potential. Joanie works with companies to develop and retain top talent and improve their success and happiness in their careers. She is also the author of Flying Without a Helicopter: How to Prepare Young People for Work and Life.   During the show, Jessica and Joanie discuss helicopter parenting, generational differences in the workplace, what makes a great leader, how to help employees be resilient, and how to find a career that excites you.   Main Questions Asked: What are the pros and cons of helicopter parenting? Talk about millennial and generational challenges in the work place. Comment on how different generations figure out how to be happy in their career. Do you think the transition from employee to contractor jobs help people find a work/life balance? What does it take to be a successful leader? How do you teach employees to take on leadership roles? What can we do to help our employees be more resilient? How can people find a career that excites them?   Key Lessons Learned: Helicopter Parents The choices you make as a parent are both good and bad, and it's a matter of weighing up the pros and cons of different methods. Helicopter parenting is ‘hovering' over the kids, watching everything they do, and doing things for them. The Lawnmower approach is paving the path ahead of the kids so they don't make mistakes or fall down. The consequence of helicopter parenting is that the kids never learn how to do things on their own and make their own mistakes.   Generational Differences in the Work Place Millennials have different expectations and have been brought up where they have been protected and their self-esteem has been boosted. Baby boomers have a harder time working a flexible schedule and have the 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, 40 hour workweek ingrained in their belief system.   What Makes a Great Leader Being a good leader is all about being flexible and thinking about the individual needs of each worker. Leadership comes down to having a vision and bringing followers along. If you don't have followers, then you're not a leader. A great leader has people skills to interact, motivate, and inspire.   Helping Employees be Resilient When things go wrong, are you able to stay strong, positive, and bounce back? As managers, in order to help people build resilience, you have to let them fail. This is essentially the opposite of being a helicopter parent.   Finding a Career that Excites You Figuring out what makes you happy takes a lot of self-awareness. Ask yourself if it's the content of the job, the environment, the company, having challenges, or helping people that makes you happy. Figure out what energizes you and lifts you up. What makes you happy doesn't necessarily have to be in a different job; it can be in your current job. The question shouldn't be, ‘what should I be doing?' but rather, ‘what makes me happy?'   Subscribe to the show in iTunes or Stitcher Radio!   The music in today's episode was written by The Danger Os and produced by Nick Palmer.
