Hello Possibility Partners . . . OMFG! Writing a book is an endless journey! I obviously missed Labor Day target date for the book -- now shooting for New Year's Eve.
The good news is my editor has provided lots of feedback re edits. And this is the most humbling experience of my life.
New website on Kajabi is in development. Plans for official launch in mid October.
Attended a two-day, virtual, HR Culture Summit last week and found my tribe! I am so inspired with the workplace revolution that is occurring re Virtual First and People First Cultures and Best Practices that are being created. Happy to send you my notes -- just send me an email request.
Recommend book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Adam Grant. Especially intrigued with the reference to the Dunning Kruger effect, which resulted from studies that indicated a lack competence is when we are most likely to be brimming with overconfidence, which compromises our self-awareness and limits any learning that can occur.
By the way, in the two-day HR Culture Summit, the two top skills leaders need in today's world are self awareness and empathy, with empathy being expressed as kindness and compassion.
Have a great rest of the month! Talk to you in October!
Much care,
Dianne
