Are you viewed as a "doer" or a "strategic thinker"? Being a "doer", someone that is capable of executing with excellence, is important. Adding the ability to think strategically, being viewed as a strategic thinker by those around you, is also critical in most contexts. I loved having Brenda Steinberg, leadership consultant and executive coach, on the Greatness Podcast to discuss how we can not only sharpen our strategic thinking skills, but also ensure that we are communicating with others in a way that helps them understand our strategic capabilities. As a gifted coach, Brenda also shares her thoughts on being coached effectively - how to be in the right mindset and how to be open to experimentation.

Your mind is a software program. Here's how to update it, explained by global political expert Ian Bremmer. Political scientist Ian Bremmer highlights the importance of strategic thinking, which he defines as "thinking about thinking." It's a process that involves analyzing macro themes, recognizing patterns, and understanding how different factors (at the country, company, and individual level) create trade-offs for leaders. Strategic thinking isn't so much about responding to headlines or current events as it is taking a long-term view, one in which you're continually revisiting your worldview and updating it when necessary. Being open-minded and curious about different perspectives, as well as comfortable with the possibility of being wrong, are important parts of the process. As an example of a great strategic thinker, one may cite Nelson Mandela for his ability to set aside personal feelings for the good of a country's long-term future. Bremmer is the founder of Eurasia Group, an organization that for 25 years has been using political science to help investors and corporate decision-makers better understand how politics impact risks and opportunities in foreign markets.

When you're not making strategic thinking part of our success habits, you're basically acting like an employee would and waiting on your client to tell you what to do. The result is other people are managing your priorities and ultimately the strategy of your business.And so in this episode, we're going to dive into strategic thinking, which is one of the most, if not the most important success habits you could have as a business owner, to make sure that you are incorporating it effectively as you're running your business.Listen on to learn how to make your strategic thinking practice consistent and effective.Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.melisaliberman.com/blog/39
In Season 4 of the Drink Like a Lady Podcast, we have focused on how to kickstart the process if you need to lay out strategy. We also shared how that strategy worked at Spanx and Amazon. In this final episode of Season 4, we offer up SIGNS that you are, in fact, a strategic thinker. And steps you can take to make your strategic thinking skills BETTER.HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE A STRATEGIC THINKER?Here are some signs that you're a strategic thinker:Spending time in self-reflection: If you frequently find yourself reflecting on your work, completed tasks or experiences that you wish had gone differently, then you likely are a strategic thinker. One of the characteristics of strategic thinkers is reflecting on events and experiences and then using that knowledge to impact your future performance.Asking a lot of questions: Strategic thinkers try to understand context and avoid problems that could arise ensuring everyone involved understands what they need to do and why. Strategic thinkers ask questions about why an issue is important, what key factors led to a decision, what outcome is most desirable and who it will impact.Compartmentalizing distractions: If you are a strategic thinker, you likely are effective at compartmentalizing your responsibilities and minimizing distractions to focus on whatever priority is most relevant and highest.Setting regular goals: Strategic thinkers often set performance goals for themselves in order to continue progressing professionally.Demonstrating decisiveness: Strategic thinkers understand the importance of being decisive in their decision-making. They efficiently gather information and then make a decision based on that information. They recognize that reaching decisions and being decisive takes both knowledge and confidence.Welcoming to feedback: Another sign that you're a strategic thinker is that you are collaborative with others and open to feedback in order to improve your abilities.Enjoying helping others: Strategic thinkers often enjoy helping others to perform at their best and achieve their fullest potential. They recognize that it's important to help everyone overcome challenges in order to reach company-wide goals.Planning long-term career goals: If you are someone who regularly imagines where you will be professionally in one or even five years and begin taking the steps to get to where you need to be, then you likely are a strategic thinker.Here are the steps you need to take to further develop your strategic thinking skills:1. Pause and reflectThe first step you need to take to improve your strategic thinking skills is to commit to slowing down and spending time reflecting on a situation. To ensure you do this regularly, you may want to schedule time each day or week to actively spend time just thinking. 2. Gain experiences and ideasTry to gain new experiences whenever possible. Visit new places and meet and have conversations with new people. You could even just take a different route home after work or visit a new part to stimulate your mind.3 Discuss ideas with people who think differently than youIf you need to resolve a problem, bringing together people who are extremely different, such as creative people and technical people or introverts and extraverts, can be extremely useful for generating new ideas.4. Make decisions about what to do nextPart of being a strategic thinker is executing on what you learn. After you spend time thinking and generating ideas, you need to execute your strategy. Identify the resources that you need to execute your idea and then take action.
In this episode we spoke with Helen Fanucci, Digital Transformation Sales Leader, Team Builder and Strategic Thinker at Microsoft. We discussed the following topics: How pandemic caused a shift and expectations of both employees and employers especially as it relates to knowledge workers?

In this episode, we share two lines of questioning you can use to become a more strategic thinker. We use Spanx as the case study to illustrate both schools of thought.PART ILook for solutions, not problems.When she wanted to find manufacturers to make her prototype of her shape wear, all she could find was men making hosiery.She, her mother, and her friends personally testing the garments. This was innovative at the time, as the industry did not test products with people. Blakely's research revealed that the industry had previously been using the same size waistband for all hosiery products to cut costs, and a rubber cord was inserted into the waistband. For her product development, Blakely created different waistbands to suit different-sized consumersRuthlessly prioritizeShe wasn't going to go door to door like she did selling fax machines. She knew she needed to get into department stores.Blakely had a meeting with Neiman Marcus Group, at which she changed into the product in the ladies restroom in the presence of the buyer to prove the benefits of her innovation.[9] Blakely's product was sold in seven Neiman Marcus stores as a result of the meeting;Spending time in the stores where your product lives will not only let you pull sneaky marketing maneuvers, but it will also let you learn directly from customers about what's missing in your market.Do some research and find out what podcasts, television shows, publications, social media platforms, and events your target demographic is into. Sara's top media priority was Oprah, so she sent the TV mogul a gift basket of Spanx to get her attention. Don't be shy about sending samples of your product to your favorite podcasters, Instagram celebs, or journalists in the hopes that they want to review it.In 2017, Sara invited her friends to take pictures of themselves skiing in Spanx. In your notebook, label a page “(Kinda) Crazy Marketing Tactics.” Come up with at least 10 out-of-the-box marketing ideasBe Willing to Take Risks.Sara decided to patent Spanx early. Use Packaging to Stand outSpanx's packaging shone in bright red—and the color alone subsequently became a form of advertising. For inspiration, go on a recon mission to the types of stores that might carry your product. Take a good long look around. What packaging trends do you see? More importantly, what do you not see at all? Write your observations down and look for a packaging niche you can filListen to and Recruit Others' Perspective.She met Laurie Ann Goldman at the Saks Fifth Avenue in Atlanta in 2001, while she was on maternity leave from her employer at the time, Coca-Cola. Goldman was specifically looking for a Spanx product, and the pair exchanged contact details—Goldman became the CEO of Spanx in 2002.Goldman crafted a business model for the company based on lessons she learned during her 10-year stint at Coke: thinking big, starting small, and scaling fast. She advised her team at SPANX to focus on product quality over profit margins. Free Yourself from Execution.Just 2 weeks ago, founder Sara Blakely sold a majority stake in Spanx to Blackstone, valued at $1.2 BilionPART 2Question 1: Why should I care about this problem?Market opportunity: The number of women was on the increaseQuestion 2: What does success look like?Question 3: How might I solve this problem?Question 4: How should I actually solve the problem?Question 5: How can I take action?
Sonia, Kimberly and Tom answer a question from Roxanne in Boston: “I've heard for years that I should ‘think more strategically.' I think I would if I got coaching. What would coaching entail?” Some of the many ideas in this episode:Sonia speaks about the importance of learning ‘scenario planning.'Kimberly reminds Roxanne to adopt a viewpoint of being inquisitive by always asking why. She also recommended The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni. Tom shares a metaphor about elevating yourself and recommends John Kotter's Leading Change.And that's just the beginning.

After loosing a dear friend to cancer in 2020, I felt called to explore spiritual companioning & bereavement more deeply. I trained as a spiritual director and enrolled in year-long practice in living with presence and intention; as well as forgiveness and gratitude, while letting go of what no longer serves. I asked for a volunteer from my cohort to share their reflection on Death, Dying & Life. Deepa bravely leapt in with her heart & agreed to be interviewed. I'm so grateful she did. Deepa Patel is passionate about music, young people, fighting injustice and poverty and nurturing equality and creativity in our world. These areas have been the focus of her work. Her past roles have included work as a music education producer for the BBC, a campaigner on HIV/AIDS for ActionAid, and as a Managing Director of Creative Partnerships (a national UK Government Initiative on creativity in schools). She currently facilitates programs on the art of collaboration and conversation and is Co-Director of Slow Down London, a campaign on how to appreciate and enjoy life at a different pace. Deepa is a former member of the Seven Pillars Board of Trustees and lives in England. Resources Mentioned: Julia Cameron https://juliacameronlive.com/the-artists-way/ Steven Levine https://levinetalks.com/ A Year to Live Program via The Rumi Center This year-long program, based on the book A Year to Live by Stephen Levine, is designed for people of all walks of life and stages of life. In community, we will focus on waking up and living life more fully through the exploration of death as a spiritual practice. Most aspects of our largely death-denying modern culture discourage us from actively contemplating the inevitability of our death, or that it may meet us at any time. The prophets and sages recommend a very different approach to the fact of life's transience: that we use remembrance of death, not to put us in a state of anxiety or morbidness, but as a contemplative practice to assist us in our journey to awaken to that which does not die but lives beyond the ephemeral nature of our lives in this world. Their lives bear witness to the fact that there is a way to die to the attachments and distortions of the ego and come to the realization of a deeper self that transcends death and the perishing realm. This is reflected in the prophetic injunction, "die before you die." This core teaching of all wisdom traditions—that we can realize that which is eternal and transcends our physical bodies—paradoxically provides the means to live more fully and more presently while savoring the gift of each precious breath on earth.

Hello and welcome to the new episode of the Risk Management Show brought to you by Global Risk Community. This is your host Boris Agranovich and our guest today is Helen Fanucci, a Digital Transformation Sales Leader, Team Builder and Strategic Thinker at Microsoft. Today we will do a deep dive into digital transformation as many organizations are busier than ever “digitizing”. Microsoft was in a position to “act as digital first responders to the world's first responders,” when the pandemic hit, as Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella put it. We discussed the following questions. What changes are you seeing in the market, how well your clients are impacted by the crisis and what organizations will need to do in order to adapt? If there is one thing that risk managers should start doing right now that they are not doing currently, what would it be? As technology changes even faster than the organisations ability to change how can you balance these cultural and technological changes to ensure your company competes and continue growing? and more...

For some people strategic thinking is a key aspect of their role, for others, it’s a skill they want to enhance. During these times of change and challenge when we have been forced to reassess what we are doing, and how and why we are doing it, focussing on the bigger picture benefits us in both our work and personal lives. This week I share my practical approach to strategic thinking as well as thought-provoking questions that will expand your perspective.
We've heard about ditching performance reviews. What about getting rid of recurring meetings? What about pay reviews? What if we got rid of managers altogether and let people manage themselves? Could such radical autonomy be a solution to management woes? Author and former IT manager at Moonfruit, Matt Casey tells all in this revealing interview. Why you should listen: Why streamlining management practices is essential to run a lean organisation How cutting management functions actually increased performance Discover alternatives to the dreaded performance reviews and the associated pay review We explore: Recurring meetings: why the internet made these a waste of time What makes an extraordinary boss, and why most of us won't get there: honesty, credibility, and the ability to challenge others in a way that makes them see their own blindspots How Uber reputation ratings can be used for teammates to rate each other: use the questions, “Could they do the job? Did they do the job? Do you want to work with them again?”

When we look at research about 96%. of leaders say they lack time for strategic thinking. Even though most leaders know that they need to be more strategic to reach the next level in their career. Yet, they don't make the time. They're too busy dealing with the day to day work. But here's, what's so important. The higher up that you go in your career, the less you're going to be paid to scratch things off your to-do list and to just get stuff done and the more you will be paid for strategic thinking, for connecting dots for new initiatives, for creative thinking, and for making big plans that turn vision into execution.In this episode, we're discussing what it means to be a strategic thinker and how to practice the skill.And if elevating your leadership skills, increasing your clarity, confidence, and competence as a leader in 2021 is one of your goals, then the Leadership Circle may be exactly what you've been looking for. In a small group of experienced leaders, we tackle specific higher-level leadership topics every month through a blended approach of learning, coaching, accountability, support, and much, much more. So to learn more, check out www.ramonashaw.com/leadership-circle. It's an amazing program for all the leaders who know that growing as a leader doesn't mean attending a one-off seminar, but it's an ongoing process. It's continued growth. It's like dimming the light day by day and make it a little bit brighter. Leadership is not a light switch that can get turned on in a one-day seminar and that's why the Leadership Circle was created. I would love to hear from you and see if you are the right fit for the group and for this particular program. So visit www.ramonashaw.com/leadership-circle to learn more and schedule your free strategy call.

If you're wondering how you can find time from everyday business operations to do innovation, today's guest, Tendayi Viki, is the guy you want to listen to. He's an award winning author and corporate innovation expert. He's also been recognised by Thinkers50 as one of the world's foremost business strategic thinkers, and he's the author of three books, the latest of which is Pirates In The Navy. Tendayi's biggest bugbear is innovation theatre, those companies that look like they're doing innovation, but aren't, and so he shares his thoughts on how to innovate properly. What you don't need, says Tendayi, is an entrepreneur in residence. Having a startup mindset doesn't require you to actually employ a startup founder, nor do you need to install ping pong tables either. What you actually need, if you're going to innovate, if you're going to come up with another big idea that's going to drive the revenue of your business in the long term, is to figure out how to structure it, how to staff it and how to measure its success. So to find out how to innovate in your business, because let's face it, any business that stands still gets left behind, download and listen to this latest episode. It's a great conversation.

Business mentor and strategist Jeff Schwisow shares: Why the real enemy of business evolution is not change, but how ‘now' cripples your ability to focus on ‘next'. How an effective project mindset is one that moves away from large transformational change in favour of a steady stream of smaller adaptive projects. One of the biggest blocks to Boundless Leadership is being too focused on the scoreboard and not the game you're playing. Build your organisation as a circle not a triangle. Three key tips to get started to bring the future into now and be better at getting strategic results.
Don't do strategy backwards! And don't do it on your own either. Strategic planning when you do it well is an excellent way to enhance employee experience and build team buy in.
It's budget time. That generally also means strategic planning. But so many people do it backwards, or don't do it at all. We look at key mistakes to avoid, and what to do better, as well 7 key ways to move from linear thinker to systems thinker, and rock your strategy.
Strategic planning has changed: the 5 year plan is OUT. Nothing stays that stable for that long! The strategic intention is IN, with tactics and projects needing regular review. Aside from that big mistake (believing a 5 year strategy still works), there are 3 other common mistakes that will definitely sabotage you and keep you in hand-to-mouth land.
General Sir Rupert Smith, is a retired British Army Officer of 40 years' experience. He commanded forces at every rank from Second Lieutenant to General in all five continents. On three occasions in the 1990s, he commanded formations of some 20,000 people and 750 fighting vehicles and airplanes to achieve strategic goals: in the Gulf War 90/91, in Bosnia 95 and in Northern Ireland 96-98. Additionally, from 1999 until 2001 he was the Deputy Commander of all NATO forces engaged in operations in the Balkans, notably Kosovo. On each occasion the objectives, the politics, the theatre, the opposition and the forces were different and often multinational. He found in exercising leadership at this level it is well to remember that: fame has no present and popularity no future.Based on this experience he will talk about leadership, particularly strategic leadership.#InspiringLeadership #leadership #CEOs #MotivationalSpeaker #teamcoach #Boards See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Leaders must be strategic thinkers.
80% of people leave their jobs because of a poor manager. So says recruitment specialist, Sarah Rajic, co-founder of Capital Recruit and Staff Check, who has spoken to thousands of employers and candidates. She has seen when it goes right, and when it goes wrong. How do we make it better and unwind that terrible statistic?
Phone meetings can be brutal, but they don't have to be. Dr. Paul Bailo rejoins the show to discuss one of the keys you need to remember when doing a phone interview, what you can't do if you want to be taken seriously, and how you can be a leader even when you're only on the phone. Dr. Bailo is Global Head of Digital Strategy & Innovation at Infosys Digital, as well as author of The Essential Digital Interview Handbook: Lights, Camera, Interview: Tips for Skype, Google Hangout, GotoMeeting, and More. He's widely recognized by industry thought leaders for his C-level executive skills in Digital Transformation, Analytics, Marketing and Business Operations.

Working from home means that you're going to be doing more conference calls, with both audio AND video. You don't want to be the one who rolls out of bed to hop on the call looking bedraggled. You want a professional look that will help earn you the place in the business you deserve. Dr Paul Bailo joins Adam and Naresh to discuss just how to do this.

He first shares the importance of having measurable relationship goals in marriage. We explain how Influencers are passionate about helping people move forward.

That’s it. And so you can do that as a Relationship Builder, as an Executor, as a Strategic Thinker as well. So it really doesn’t matter what your strengths are. But, since you have 3 or more influencing strengths in your top 10, then this is a dominant desire for you. It’s how you get things done. It’s how you connect with people. It’s how you get creative and it’s how you move through the world; it’s how you create joy.” 10:00Leave a 5 Star Review!: https://ratethispodcast.com/unleashyourstrengthshttp://www.eddiepvilla.com/unleashyourstrengthsSaturday Show: https://www.facebook.com/growwitheddieEddie's Services: https://www.eddiepvilla.com/servicesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/unleash_your_strengths/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/eddie.p.villaGet Your Strengths Planner: www.unleashmystrengths.comhttps://www.gallupstrengthscenter.com/Find or Schedule a Strengths Workshop For Your Area: stregnthsevents.com
Darlene Swaffar, is a Republican Candidate running for Congress in District 22 in South FL. It’s time to return the “People’s House of Congress” back to “WE THE PEOPLE.” It’s time for us to take back our Government and RESTORE ORDER and not only abide by, but also enforce our Constitutional Laws. My Ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, and the Civil War. They along with one of the Greatest Founding Fathers, my 9th Great Uncle Benjamin Franklin would be appalled to see how our Congress has conducted themselves. The 116th Congress has filed more unnecessary inquiries than composing or passing any good productive legislation. Presidential Candidate Elizabeth Warren talks about “Medicare for All” which could bankrupt our Country. She further suggests to eliminate all private insurance plans, and that anyone currently in the Medicare or Health insurance industry could simple switch and sell auto insurance. Does she not understand that is a different license!! That is precisely the issue. Many in our Congress don’t have a clue about what they are talking about, yet our lives hang in the balance. Please understand, I am NOT a Politician, nor do I care to be politically correct. Originally from Brooklyn, NY and a South FL resident for over 27 years, like you I have had enough of what I have seen play out on TV. I am disgusted at the behavior of our elected officials. I have never seen this level of partisanship and hate openly displayed for the world to see. It is an absolute embarrassment and a disrespect towards Americans. They forget that they serve We The People. The only solution I see, is if we have a clean slate in Congress. Vote out all the corruption and replace Congress with American Patriots who have a respect for our Constitution. We do not need career politicians who have grown more concerned over their career and self-interest. I’m going to Congress to call out every Corrupt Politician and live up to the Legacy of my family lineage. aka The Medicare Lady TM, I’m a business owner of a Medicare Insurance Agency with a team of 30 agents I live and work in my District.

Deerfield Beach is my Neighborhood. There are 2 candidates registered to run who DO NOT live or work in our district! No other candidate in my Primary matches my business knowledge, success, Community Service Awards and Record. Platform Protect our Constitution specifically our 2nd Amendment Rights. Support our President in MAGA. With a Congress that supports our President, imagine what we can do as a Country? Democrats who are consumed with Impeaching our President and filing false allegations affects us on the Worldwide Stage, and our ability to negotiate trade deals and advance peace talks. Their Agenda hurts us all! Fight for Medicare Benefits including Respite Care for our Seniors. Our Seniors deserve more. As the Medicare Lady TM, I am an expert on Medicare Health Insurance and can advance and negotiate on behalf of our Seniors. There is no one in Congress right now with my level of expertise from an insurance perspective. Explore lowering drug costs comparable with Canadian and European prices. Hold big pharma accountable.

I was intrigued by Jo Metcalfe: as the Global Strategy Development Lead at GHD, I wanted to know what it took to take on strategy for a global consulting firm for engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services. When I first spoke to her, I asked about the people stuff - what she found hard. She said, ‘nothing! I love the people stuff!” First time ever I heard that response. She’s a leader we need to listen to.

Being strategic isn’t just in how we think, it’s also about executing, and evaluating, and adjusting. So once you’ve started generating ideas and making connections between them, you’ll have to start making a decision about what to do next. Being strategic in your thinking and approach is choosing to do and take certain actions on purpose. When we are strategic, we don’t just let things happen - we make them happen!
We all experience learned helplessness in our lives much to our own detriment. Yet most people don't even know what it is. Sam breaks down what the effect is, from how it was discovered to what you can do about it. This episode helps us learn more traits to boost our growth mindset with the goal of making you a more positive and strategic thinker able to look at the bigger picture and less caught up in the problems life throws at us. BACKGROUND It was discovered by Marting Seligman. He restrained dogs in a box and then gave them an electric shock at the same time as ringing a bell. After repeating this the dogs learned they would get a shock every time they heard the bell. He then put them in a box with a small fence they could jump over. on the other side of the fence would not get a shock when the bell rang. However, when the bell rang they just cowered and accepted the shock. If he put a different dog in the box that had not received the electric shocks before it would try to escape and quickly learn that when the bell rang it would be safe on one side of the box and not on the other. This has been demonstrated with other animal studies such as rats and even elephants and just in teh last few years in zebrafish and tree-shrews. They found that elelphant trainers would tie a young elephant to a post and it would struggle to try and escape the rope. For hours and days they might pull against it before giving up. However, once they gave up they wouldn’t test it again. So once teh elephant becomes an adult that can rip up tree’s and knock down walls, if you tie it to the post it was tied to as a child it gives up and sits down until it’s released. amazing! LEARNED HELPLESSNESS IN HUMANS Learned helplessness in extreme scenarios has not been experimented on with humans but it has been proven to be similar to those observed in animals although there are more complicated factors at hand and they found two types of helplessness can arise. Original Experiment In one experiment they had three cases for the human test subjects. One group heard a loud noise and had a button in front of them. they needed to press the button 4 times to make it stop and they usually worked this out pretty fast. a second group had the same noise and hte same button. but when pressed the button did nothing and the subjects soon stopped bothering with the pointless button a third group had no noise at all. In the second test all participants heard a similar loud noise and had a box with a lever in front of them. When manipulated the lever turned off the noise. Groups 1 and 3 learned to turn off the noise quickly. group 2 who had become used to not being ablt to turn off the noise mostly didn’t try the lever and sat with an annoying noise playing. Deficits of Helplessness They deduced that learned helplessness creates three deficits in subjects, cognitive, motivational and emotional: Cognitive - the subject has the idea in their mind that their circumstances are uncontrollable Motivational - meaning that the subject doesn’t bother to respond to potential methods of escaping a negative situation Emotional - the subject takes on a depressed state when they are placed in a negative situation they cannot control TWO TYPES OF HELPLESSNESS Learned helplessness in humans can have two types. Universal helplessness and personal helplessness Universal helplessness is a sense of helplessness where the subject believes nothing can be done about the situation, no one can help alleviate the pain or discomfort. Personal helplessness is where the person believes that others may be able to find a solution or to avoid the pain or discomfort but that they are not personally capable of finding a solution. Both can lead to a state of depression but with different qualities. Universal helplessness leads to explanation of the problem being due to external factors that they can’t solve, whereas personal helplessness will tend to be explained due to internal reasons. As such personal helplessness is associated with a lower sense of self-esteem and can have a greater emotional impact. Neither are great and experiencing either is a bad place to be. They are more likely to arise when we are anxious or under stress and then just naturally over-time we are more likely to accumulate learned helplessness traits as we get older due to two fundamental laws of nature as time passes we are exposed to more situations where learned helplessness can arise as time passes our bodies age and we experience more loss of abilities and health complications, some of which are reversible yet they get accepted. As well as the immediate issues of not helping ourselves in the given situation it also has negative effects such as burnout, Depression, anxiety, phobias, shyness, and loneliness COMMON LEARNED HELPLESSNESS EXAMPLES CHILDREN IN SCHOOL Often a child performs badly in one topic, math or in my case languages. They perform poorly compared to the rest of the class and the teacher doesn’t provide useful examples the student can learn from or faith in the student that they can do better. The student gets used to being bad at the subject and only get’s worse and pays less attention in lessons and completes homework in a more resigned manner expecting to do badly. They lose confidence to use the skills in the rest of their live. i.e. a bad math student never has confidence to work with figures or a bad language student never tries to learn a new language and assumes they will not be able to. Example My friend who first told me about learned helplessness used to be bad at english, when he was a t school in Germany he had one teacher who gave him his test results back once and told him he’d never be any good at english and that he was a stupid child. like seriously WTF was this guy being a teacher but the effect was really damaging on my friends motivation to even try and get better at english so he always approached it with an attitude that he wouldn’t learn much and struggled even more than he needed to. Luckily Germans basically have to study english forever so he went on to become pretty much fluent, however, he still had really low confidence for a long time even when he was pretty much fluent until he found out about learned helplessness and how silly his mindset was. SHYNESS Another common example is shyness. People who feel shy in social situations can eventually feel there is nothing they can do to overcome their symptoms. When the believe their symptoms our outside of their control this can lead to them not engaging in social situations and making the shyness even more pronounced and compounding effects of anxiety and stress around the situation so they avoid it even more. I personally have suffered from shyness and language learning difficulties. but where i first encountered learned helplessness was with coding MY FIRST HELPLESSNESS QUALITY - CODING I realised my first ‘learned helplessness’ quality whilst my co-founder was teaching me some programming techniques for a new front end framework we we re writing. I am more the business guy that has just got into coding and not exactly the core developer here but I can code. However, as he was teaching me and giving me tasks to do I was constantly asking more questions whenever I became stuck or didn’t understand something. I didn’t have a lot of confidence in the code I was writing and generally made the assumption that what I was doing was probably wrong. I’d literally internalised that I was a bit of an idiot. He sat down and told me I wasn’t stupid that I was showcasing learned helplessness qualities to my problems. The solutions are in front of me I just need to look for them instead of assuming I will fail. I had developed a mindset that I am not clever enough to work things out by myself and that I need someone to show me the way every time. As a coder that is so dangerous. It causes you to be insecure about your actions and generally worse at everything from the start. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of your own demise. If every time you want to learn something new you expect it will take you forever and you do a million tutorials or need to hire a mentor you will never get anywhere on your own. He challenged me that I wasn’t as stupid as I was telling myself and that I could answer most of my questions myself. If I took more time to read the things I didn’t understand and follow all unknown paths to their end I would be able to answer any question I had. Everything was written in front of me I just needed to open my eyes and actually use my own initiative instead of depending on others. For a coder, this is really hard to admit but it changed me completely. I’m now reading parts of applications I would just never go into before because I just assumed I wouldn’t know what was going on. And the best thing is I'm totally getting it, I’m fixing my own problems and doing things without asking questions or without even using the internet. I literally feel like a new person. TIPS FOR BEING AN INDEPENDENT CODER (OR THINKER) Stuff you learn straight away and do and then forget and stop doing..: If trying to do something difficult. Don’t just start coding. Write out what you are going to do. The more complicated it is the more notes you should make. If you are going through someone else's code. Write down what each file does and each function within that file. methodically make a map of how things work. Write down the difficult questions and don’t stop until you have found all the answers. Google is your best friend. Everyone knows this, but how many times have you asked someone how to do something and they had to google it for you. It’s embarrassing. Before you ask someone anything, first ask google. (and depending on what you are doing, also try turning it off and on again) _Rubber duck philosophy _— before asking your friend (or if you don’t have a friend) but google hasn’t worked. Try the rubber duck philosophy. Have a hypothetical conversation with your rubber duck where you explain what you are doing, explain what the problem is. Maybe draw him a diagram. If you haven’t already solved the issue by just doing this you can then ask your duck the question of how to fix the problem. Then with a better map of where the problem lies break down what you do know and don’t know, this will help get to the root of the issues. You usually find that the answer is within you. So many times when explaining a problem you will say something along the lines of, ‘Well really I should just be doing x, y, z, method because this p, w, v, y, t method is a really stupid and ….’ STOP there. you’ve solved your problem. So having seen the radical change this caused, I thought I would investigate ‘Learned Helplessness’ some more and it lead to this whole post. Note — I am a successful entrepreneur who up to now thought he was constantly challenging himself to be healthier, wealthier, happier and wiser. And for the most part, I am. buuuut there are whole sides of me I’ve stopped developing and opportunities I’ve simply shut out because of things I’ve learned about myself over time that I’ve accepted as fact. Up to now i’ve broken down the problems and attributes of learned helplessness which has been a little depressing and given one example of how I dealt with it but now we are going to learn about the more scientific solutions we can use how to overcome any learned helplessness attribute so we can live happier and more successful lives. Winning! METHODS FOR OVERCOMING LEARNED HELPLESSNESS *Martin Selgman gives the example of top athletes. * To become number one in a given sport you usually have to rank most consistently over a year including many events. (just think about tennis or formula 1). So to reach number one it is likely that the top athlete will also fail on several occasions. So their real strength is the ability to bounce back from a defeat and ‘hang in there’. If they just quit after a winning streak they would never be so successful. Seligman showed that optimists are more successful in almost all areas including relationships, sport and general health, business and academic success. So how do we become more optimistic? EXPLANATORY STYLES Explanatory styles are essentially little stories we tell ourselves to make sense of life. We are interpretation machines adn we continuosly go about our do making up explanations and stories for life around us. Your explanatory style is your default pattern for digesting and explaining bad events that occur. There are three main elements to each explanation, the “3P’s”, which determine if we approach problems positively or negatively. Personalisation - the perception of causality Pessimists view events as internally caused. e.g. A player loses a chess match. therefore I am bad a chess. An optimist view things as externally caused and will allow for non-personal factors e.g. this opponent is amazing or today I am not feeling so good or the opponent was lucky Permanence - the perception of time Pessimists believe setbacks are permanent and truly fixed forever. e.g. I will never be good at chess or be able to beat this opponent. Optimists believe setbacks are only temporary e.g. I didn’t prepare well or I had a cold or I need to practice more, next time I will perform better Pervasiveness - the perception of space and further impacts Pessimists see a setback as pervasive and related to many area’s as well as the specific setback e.g. I failed at chess, I am not clever or good at anything Optimist see a setback as narrowly contained in the one area of life e.g. I still have a life outside of chess where I am smart and capable. PERCEPTION OF GOOD AND BAD SITUATIONS I just explained that a pessimist views negative situations in the opposite way to an optimist, they takes them personally and as a permanent and wide reaching thing. It is also important to see how someone explains a good situation. When encountered with a good situation the self explanations swap and the pessimist views this event as external and not personal and as specific and impermanent, whereas the optimist takes a good situation as internal, longer lasting and wider reaching. An individuals characteristic style of explaining events plays a major role in whether a learned helplessness trait will develop. A pessimistic explanatory style is associated with a greater likelihood of experiencing learned helplessness. A NICE EXAMPLE - BILL AND BEN THE FLOWERPOT MEN Bill and Ben apply for a promotion in the flowerpot factory. They both get rejected. Bill is a pessimist. He assumes, rightly or wrongly, that the reason he missed out is personal (I wasn’t good enough), and/or permanent (I’ll never get ahead), and/or pervasive (this ruins everything -what’s the point of living). Bill is likely to give up on himself and probably won’t try again and at risk of becoming depressed due to this explanation. In contrast, Ben is an optimist. Faced with the identical setback he assumes the cause is non-personal (the boss’s nephew got it), and temporary (I had a hangover that day), and non-pervasive (this impacts my career, but not my relationship, my hobbies, my gym membership etc -life goes on). As such life does go on and Ben is fine and more likely to try for other promotions and not carry the setback around with him into other area’s of his life. IDENTIFYING YOUR STYLE Martin Seligman’s site Authentic Happiness provides a free optimism assessment test to measure your level of optimistic permanence, pervasiveness and personalization. This allows you to recognize, and therefore change, your descriptions to become more optimistic. HOW TO ACTUALLY PREVENT LEARNED HELPLESSNESS METHOD 1 - ALTERING OUR EXPLANATION STYLE When faced with loss and disappointment we should try asking ourselves these key questions to dig into current and past self explanations of problems that arise: Personal Did you blame yourself? If so, in hindsight did that prove accurate? Are you really to blame, or was it just bad luck or a factor dependant on the situation or people around you? Permanent Did you assume it would last forever? If so, were those predictions accurate? How long can it really last? Will it always be like this or will it pass? Pervasive Did you assume it would ruin everything in your life? If so, in hindsight was that truly accurate? What does it really affect in your life? What in your life will continue unaffected? Try and review your explanatory style wherever possible and challenge any pessimistic explanations that have become your default setting. Review and reduce the negative impact of past setbacks and try to keep this technique to encourage more resilience in the future. Next time life gives you lemons don’t make lemonade. Review the Personal, Permanent and Pervasive model instead! METHOD 2 - ABC METHOD When we face dissapointment or negativity of any sort we can use the ABC method to begin to change feelings of helplessness and pessimistic perspectives. The method was developed by Dr. Albert Ellis and Dr. Martin Seligman to allow a more flexible response to negativity and is a next step antidote to a defeatist mindset of learned helplessness. A - Adversity Descibe the event that happened. Leave out any evaluations or judgements. Simply describe the event that happened in a way that is as unemotional as possible. Example - ‘A colleague missed an important deadline and put the team behind schedule for the rest of the project' B - Belief Explain how the adveristy was interpreted. Do not state how you think it should be interpreted, but what your actual default belief or interpretation of the event was. Example - “I can’t believe how selfish the team member is and how unwilling they are to take things seriously. This shows their overall lack of dedication" C - Consequence Think about the feelings and actions that result from these beliefs. Go back with a level of introspection and ask yourself how you handled it. Be sure to go deep. How and when do those emotions and feelings lead to certain behaviours and actions. Example - “I am overcome with anger and frustration. I feel betrayed and discouraged. I noticed I began raising my voice and becoming hostile and sharp towards the team member" D - Disputation Do you have grounds to dispute these automatic reactions? What are the possible repercussions of following these emotions? Consider whether there are any greater benefits to moving on from the situaion and stopping this default (impulsive) reaction before it starts. Example - “Maybe I was overreacting. I don’t know the full situation yet. Maybe they had a bad week or tried to get the work done and ran into issues. By getting stressed I just annoy myself and others and further hinder the project by reducing our ability to work together." E - Energisation Did you manage to turn things around? Put all your focus on the positive feelings that ensue as a result of reframing your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Ask yourself, what’s different between how I just handled this situation versus how I would normally handle it? Relish in those personal rewards! Example - “I am proud of myself for intervening in my automatic reactions and to be able to stop them part way through. I’m happy that I’m accomplishing more by looking at things in a more reasonable manner" Regularly applying the ABC method will get you into the habitual groove of optimistic response and avoid damaging pessimism. When you have practiced it a few times you get to notice a natural reframing of situations in response to negative events. *Let’s practice it now. * This ABC method has a stupid name. It is actually ABCDE and to be honest these letters were only chosen because they are catchy and they words they represent aren’t the best words to describe the action at each point! The result is I am annoyed and don’t use the method A - Adversity There is a method that is helpful for being positive but has a silly name B - belief I think it has a really stupid name and is therefore also a stupid method C- Consequence I didn’t take it seriously because i was pre-occupied by it’s stupid name rather than the actual method D - Disputation I am being silly and wasting an opportunity to learn a better way of living my life as a calm and happier person that gets on with people better and can be more productive and kinder to those around me. I should try out the method anyway and maybe give it a better name if I am so concerned. Like ‘The deep dive method’ or… screw it actually perhaps it is a good name after all. I like the ABC method name. E - Energisation Wow what a great example. I just made myself laugh at how stupid I am and feel more positive about the problem and more willing to use it to fix other things I react to negatively. Life is fabulous. and I have an example for my blog. Double win. METHOD 3 - SMART GOALS After diagnosing our attribution style and learning to overcome pessimistic thinking, the final method is to understand that we are in control and take ownership of our response to situations and the next steps we take. Believing that a failure is out of our control or a situation is unlikely to change leads to worse performance. To achieve greater sense of self control we should practice active goal setting. This is proven to increase behaviour change as it increases your desire to act in a particular way (motivation). setting sensible goals that are likely to be achieved provides a sense of control over our outcomes, even more so when we begin to meet those goals on a consistent basis. Specific You need to know exactly what you want to achieve and not some vague goal. Questions: What is it exactly that I want to achieve? Where is this going to happen? When am I going to make this happen? Who is going to be involved? How am I going to make this happen? Why do I want to reach this goal? e.g. I want to build a sustainable business with revenue List concrete, tangible outcomes. Give names, locations, offices, cities, etc. Give specific dates and timelines. Work backwards. Give names and team members as well as potential partners and others to lean on. With all the information above, lay out a detailed strategy, tactic, and plan. Tie it into your bigger vision for yourself and your business. These relate to your principles, values, missions – the things that you stay true to. Measurable To track your progress it must be measurable. This helps provide feedback for your brain that it is gaining a sense of self control. Questions: Make it easy to determine where you stand with your progress Help refine exactly what it is you want e.g. My business must hit $10k monthly recurring revenue by the end of the year At this point don’t take the easy option and set small micro goals that are easy too easy to achieve. Achievable You don’t want it to be too easy but also if it is too hard it is a pointless goal. You won’t be able to reach it and be more likely ot give up and fall back into learned helplessness traits. Questions: Is my target really achievable? What will happen if I fall short? Are there any constraints or obstacles to overcome? What do I need to sacrifice to achieve it? Relevant How relevant is the goal? Will it be fulfilling to me as an individual? Do I really want or need it or is a different goal more worthy of my effort? Does it actually fit in with your other goals Question: Why is this goal important to me? What is worth sacrificing to achieve this goal? Will this goal really make me happier or am I just trying to prove something to others? Timed You need a timeline ideally with sub deadlines for any goal to ensure you are on track and that it actually happens. It will help you identify neccessary steps at different points and stick to the actions required to achieve your goals. Without a timeline there is no pressure to start accomplishing the goal which allows things to slip away. Establish a time frame Set a deadline or time for completion Set benchmarks this will help track progress on route to goal helps maintain motivation over time Check in regularly are there steps you can be taking right now to help achieve a long term goal what should be done over the next week to contribute to the goal? what should be done over the next month to contribute to the goal? Practicing it SMART goals are great paired with something to keep you on track. There are many goal setting apps out there that do a good job. If you are really serious about a certain goal then I highly reccomend using stickK which allows you to set stakes and even take donations to antiu-charities if you don’t keep up with a certain goal. FINDING ANSWERS TO PROBLEMS The Great Pokemon Rescue The same friend who was told he was shit at english has another example where we can take ownership of our problems When he was a young child and the Pokemon craze was all the rage he finally got his first Pokemon game and had collected a few Pokemon, but after a few hours the Pokemon were getting very low on health and one had already fainted. He had missed the tutorial showing how to revive a Pokemon and he genuinely believed his Pokemon were all going to die. He sat on a wall and cried by himself. Anyone who ever played Pokemon i’m sure will feel for him and how terrible this must have felt! His mother asked him what was wrong and he explained. She got out the Pokemon book she had purchased for him along with the Pokemon game, within a few minutes she found the instructions of how to revive Pokemon and joy of joys they were all saved. My friend learned that when you have a specific problem you can research it and find solutions. This has helped him to become a great coder as he is great at reading the documentation to understand what he is taking on before he starts, and as soon as a problem arises he knows it can be fixed by research. Use Google Yourself Just like my example of coding many people are afraid of computers or coding or anything technical and become dependant on others to fix their problems. But so much of the time everything we need to know is on google. Myself and every developer that ever existed get so many questions from people who aren’t coders asking fairly simple things to do with computers that I don’t know how to do either. e.g. connect a printer, set up some software, connect to a network… All I do when asked how to fix something on this device i’ve never used before is google the problem in front of the other person and show them how to fix it. Yet when the same problem arises again or something similar they still come straight back despite being told that i don’t know how their device works and I need to use google which is a free resource they also have available. This is a simple example for technical vs non technical people. but there are many other examples where we get super bogged down in fairly simple questions How do I ask a girl on a date? How do I study to get a higher grade in my test? How do I exercise more? How do I find time to meditate? How do I start a business? These questions basically answer themselves by just doing it and there is no real magic sauce, sure you can learn better techniques for these things SUMMARY So we’ve found that we can all develop learned helplessness traits but with a positive attitude we can reduce our likelihood to be so prone. And by assessing ourselves we can overcome our self imposed limitations lead happier and more successful lives!

Whenever I speak with Kathryn Roy I learn something. I learned a lot when I spent an hour talking to this remarkably incisive thinker. Kathryn has advised some of the most dynamic technology companies of our time including Lotus, Kronos, Phase Forward, IBM, Computer Associates, Avid and Constant Contact. The qualities that make her ideas prized in so many executive suites were in full display during this delightful interview. Here are some quotes from our conversation. “The hardest thing about marketing and messaging is figuring out what you're not going to say.” Speaking about what she calls The Curse of Knowledge she says: “When you're steeped in a technical domain, you start talking to other people as if they have the exact same context in their heads.” Speaking about what companies should put on their websites she says: “What's really important is to let the visitor see, at a glance, what could you do for me? What problem could you solve, and do you solve it for other companies like me?” “I always tell the companies I work with: never brag about yourself. You can get a customer quote, and they can talk about you, but when you brag about yourself, it is totally discounted by prospects.” “I think that's a challenge I see in a lot of companies, because you get marketing people and they want to work on fun things. They want to work on beautiful graphics. They want to have great events. The real benefit or the most important thing that you can do is understand the customer's needs, no matter how boring they are.” Here are the topics covered during our interview: Kathryn Roy Bio From Math Major to Harvard MBA Early Incarnation of Artificial Intelligence – Kathryn Roy’s First Experience in a Startup – Product in Search of Market – Classic Problem Described by Geoffrey Moore Kathryn Roy Goes to a Dungeons & Dragons Company Next – Finds Her True Calling – Marketing & Behavioral Economics Not Being Cut Out for Coding Did Not Discourage Kathryn Roy – She Knew Where She Could Better Use Her Acute Powers of Reasoning Kathryn Roy Finds That There Is a Market for Her Kind of Thinking Peace Corps & BBN Planet by Accident By Teaching I Learn – Docendo Discimus – Kathryn Roy Decides to Learn More About Marketing by Teaching Marketing But Ends Up at BBN Planet Instead Phase Forward – More Open Communication with Clients Bought Time to Succeed One of Kathryn Roy’s Marketing Tricks: Give Away Something of Value to Customers Which Is Relatively Easy for You to Create – It Gets You Mindshare – Two Excellent Examples Given Marketing People Want to Work on Fun Stuff – Graphics, Events, etc. – Should Focus Instead on Boring Things that Address Customer Needs Kathryn Roy Finds a Natural Fit between Her Approach to Marketing & Consulting Angel Invest Boston Brings You Outstanding Guests like Kathryn Roy, with Professional Sound Quality, at No Cost to You and with No Commercials – Give Back by Reviewing Us in iTunes & Spreading the Word Kathryn Roy’s Three Bits of Advice for Founders One – Make Sure You Have Critical Skill Within the Founding Team – Hard to Get Otherwise Two – Narrow Your Focus to a Group of Buyers That Have Common Needs & Consider Each Other References Three – Don’t Be Seduced by Fads Founders Frequently Get Into Trouble by Not Recognizing the Differences between B2B and B2C Marketing – Taglines: Less Is More “The hardest thing about marketing and messaging is figuring out what you're not going to say.” How Kathryn Roy Became an Angel Investor What Does Kathryn Roy Look for in a Founding Team?
