Join us for a fascinating conversation on the key skills you need to succeed in a global company with Helena Nacinovic, Senior Learning Consultant at Slack (that's right, the giant messaging app for businesses!).

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.  This week I'm bringing back an insightful conversation with Michael Chavez that every leader can benefit from.  Michael is the Global Managing Director of Duke Corporate Education, part of Duke University. He joined Duke in 2006 and held various leadership roles before becoming the CEO in 2016. Before Duke, Michael spent over five years as the founding member of a successful startup and was the Director and Senior Learning Consultant at Coca-Cola Company. Today, Michael's research focuses on how leaders can most effectively shape, institutionalize, and lead from a shared organizational purpose. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders, especially those in the middle of an organization, who want to reconnect with their own sense of purpose to inspire those around them to do the same. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… leadership and purpose play an even larger role than ever within a company looking to drive change. Because of this, a new kind of leader has emerged, the “center manager,” or someone at the center of the organization, who is managing up and managing down at the same time. These center managers face tremendous tension from all over the organization that they have to navigate. Leaders are the storytellers of purpose and meaning. Purpose is what drives people to feel like they're part of something larger and more important than themselves. Michael believes, and I agree, that purpose is the stabilizing factor over initiatives or strategies that are disrupting the workforce faster than people can process the information. WHAT I LOVE MOST… purpose galvanizes and motivates people to bring their best selves every day. Leaders are the makers of meaning because they are the ones who inspire people to be more engaged, which leads to a much better workplace.

How can insurance companies deploy educational material to boost talent acquisition and retention? What skills are needed for educative insurance roles? How can we use TikTok to change persisting misconceptions about our industry? In this episode, we're very pleased to be speaking with Emma Ackers, Senior Learning Consultant at Empower Development! In conversation with Sandra Lewin, Emma highlights the opportunities available through TikTok and LinkedIn to promote the opportunities available within insurance to an external audience. Additionally, she impresses the importance of employer-employee trust as we transition into a broadly hybrid working industry. Quote of the Episode “If you want to apply for a job, but you don't think you're going to get it, just do it anyway. You need to put yourself out there. I think there's more people coming into the market now by choice than there were before. I've seen a massive shift in that, especially with the young people that I speak to now, they're actively seeking out these roles. I think the change here is… we use social media a lot more, and more effectively.”   Emma suggests that recruitment across insurance may soon be on the rise as companies increasingly learn how to harness the tool of social media to better advertise the various roles and opportunities on offer in an insurance career. We need to push ourselves out of our collective comfort zone as an industry, to explore how TikTok and other social media platforms could assist us in reaching new potential talent. Empower Development offers a free course called Into Insurance for people who want to learn about the industry. In one of the most recent cohorts, 98% of the attendees were drawn to the course from TikTok, accentuating the vast amount of talent that can be accessed through such platforms.   Key Takeaways Emma also highlights that social media can be deployed more effectively to educate those already within the industry. She notes that it's impossible to know everything in our industry, as it is so reactionary to broader socioeconomic shifts and is constantly changing in accordance with them. If you wish to use TikTok or LinkedIn to encourage new talent to join the industry, you shouldn't simply leap in at the deep end. It is key to devise a strategy of the type of content you would like to make. Showcasing insurance to a younger audience via social media can be achieved in so many different ways, and you don't have to chase the prevailing trends. The personal nature of such content is often what people latch onto initially, so telling people how you got into insurance is a great start. You needn't worry about whether you're saying the right things. Telling your story is what an external audience are most likely to want to hear about. Whilst working as an Operations Coordinator (amongst many other roles) at an insurance brokerage, Emma discovered that the company was struggling with compliance in relation to client assets. Many people didn't understand what the rules were, why it was important, and were making mistakes and omissions. This prompted Emma to devise some compliance-related training and deliver it to her company. She discovered that the best way to educate people about insurance topics is through anecdotes and storytelling, thereby bringing to life what can go wrong when different errors occur. This experience served as a springboard for her branching into insurance education. This is a role which may not initially come to mind when industry outsiders think of insurance. Yet, as Emma emphasises, there are so many roles that make up an insurance company. A role in this industry isn't simply limited to being in a call centre with a headset on. Her storytelling and people skills ultimately guided her to an educational insurance role. Equally, your own unique skillset will also apply to a role in insurance. Furthermore, wherever you start in the industry, you can transition into as many different roles as you like until you find one that fits. Emma argues that in our increasingly hybrid working world, it is essential that companies trust their employees. This can be achieved by affording them the flexibility to start earlier and finish earlier, or start later and finish later. Furthermore, having consistently good communication with your team, reiterating the company's broader goals and individual workers' targets can foster a positive and productive distant working environment.   Best Moments/Key Quotes “I stayed in broking for a long time and progressed through lots of different roles. I've done every single role you could ever imagine. I think it's a great way to learn. I've even done credit control. I was like, ‘Yeah, I'll try it. Why not?' It was a good way to learn all the different functions in the business.”   ‘There's a specific role for everybody in insurance, and I don't think a lot of people realise that.”   ‘As an industry, we can do better on talking about the variety of roles [available]?'   “I think about people who worked in London five days a week, [who] travelled hours to get to work. It's wild when we think about it now, that that's what used to happen… Being at home and feeling trusted, and having that flexibility, then you feel calmer as a worker. You're going to get more joy, and you're going to be more motivated, and you're going to be happier. And happier people produce better results.”   Resources Why Can't I Learn Like I Used To? – Emma Ackers – CII Journal: https://thejournal.cii.co.uk/2023/06/20/why-cant-i-learn-i-used TikTok – EmpowerEmma: https://www.tiktok.com/@empoweremma TikTok – Empower Development: https://www.tiktok.com/@empower.development Empower Talks Podcast: https://shows.acast.com/empower-talks   About the Guest Emma Ackers is a Senior Learning Consultant at Empower Development, which provides training for insurance professionals across the London and Company Markets.

About Britt AndreattaBritt Andreatta is a thought leader who creates brain science-based solutions for today's challenges.

They are activated when you perform habits. This is “autopilot” mode, which helps enable you to do tasks quickly, accurately and without conscious thought.  A useful mindset as a learning designer is to think about design habits.The brain's reward system is a powerful motivation for humans to complete tasks. As learning designers, it's important to leverage this concept and implement cues within your learning design.Ensure you are fully analysing what needs to be done and how effective your learning material is. Don't take clients' analysis at face value, so go back to square one and be clear on what the best solution is.You can apply brain-based strategies to both in-person and online environments. The main thing is giving the learners enough space and time to practise. Britt recommends simulations, role plays and virtual reality for this.Segmented time stamps:[01:50] The link between habits and workplace learning[05:04] Integrating cues and rewards in learning design[08:08] Brain-based strategies used for building habits[11:10] The importance of analysing the full learning experience[13:24] Strategies for digital learning[16:25] When to consider using VR for learning[21:16] Why learning designers don't apply enough brain-based strategiesLinks from the podcast:Connect with Britt on LinkedInBritt's WebsiteRead the book ‘Wired To Grow' by Britt AndreattaBooks and resources Brit recommended‘The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg‘Make it Stick' by Henry Roediger III, Mark McDaniel and Peter BrownNature Scientific American

When children have positive experiences it contributes to good mental wellbeing in adulthood. But when children experience trauma, it can lead to lifelong challenges including substance abuse, anxiety disorders, depression, and other debilitating mental health conditions.  The Returns On Wellbeing Institute Podcast interviewed Diana Bishop, a Senior Learning Consultant and Certified Health and Wellness Coach for Kaiser Permanente, San Diego, about Adverse Childhood Experiences (or ACEs) defined as stressful events that occur in childhood that can have lasting effects through adulthood.  In this interview, Diana explains how ACEs contribute to workplace absenteeism, healthcare costs, and mental illness, and provides an overview of ACEs to help employers understand:  The role of childhood experiences in shaping human health An overview of ACEs and their relation to mental health How do ACEs affect adults in their everyday functioning Findings from the CDC-Kaiser Permanente ACE Study She shows how employers must help employees address untreated childhood trauma that can lead to mental health issues, chronic illnesses, and poor work performance. She also advises how to reduce stigma about ACEs, and incorporate ACE Scores as part of workplace mental health initiatives and helping employees get the help they need.

Although we aim to impact adults in the workplace, our childhood experiences teach us how to cope with life and affect our overall health and wellness. Wellness programs often offer simple health solutions or use words that may be triggering for employees with adverse childhood experiences. How can we influence employee health when we don’t have the full picture of what an employee has been through in their life?  Today’s guest, Diana Bishop, has done an extensive amount of work to understand the implications of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), how they affect adult health and wellness, and what strategies wellness professionals can use to work through ACEs rather than against them. Diana is a Senior Learning Consultant, certified Health and Wellness Coach, and Life Care Planning instructor trainer for Kaiser Permanente, San Diego. With 20 years of experience working with ACEs, as well as personal experience understanding and working through childhood trauma, she is an industry expert on developing programs for people with high ACE scores and is dedicated to meeting employees where they’re at in their emotional journey, not just their health and wellness.  In today’s episode, Diana shares not only her professional background but also her experience growing up as a child in a volatile home. She explains the origins of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study and breaks down its implications including a higher risk of chronic disease and premature death. Diana encourages wellness professionals to take a look at the language surrounding health initiatives and discusses some helpful strategies to avoid isolating and disengaging employees with high ACE scores. Lastly, she explains the benefit of tapping into employer groups to boost wellness programs and how important it is for wellness professionals to explore their own ACE score.
