Celebrating Thanksgiving, Year-End Holidays, Brave at Business and #ChooseWOMEN Wednesday on 12/2/2020

11/29/2020

By Janice Dru-Bennett
With American Thanksgiving just past, as well as #SmallBusinessSaturday and the local #ShopSmall campaigns, I'm encouraging everyone (businesses, organizations, leaders, entrepreneurs), to find time to rest and rejuvenate during the holiday season and recover from our challenging times in 2020 as we head into 2021. 

This upcoming week, startup founders and company leaders may find it useful to learn from the women presenting the Brave At Business Bundle & Summit from November 30th to December 4th as well as the #ChooseWOMEN Wednesday Campaign on December 2, 2020.

Only a few days before the official Women's Entrepreneurship Day on November 19th, we're excited to share the upcoming celebrations that are happening around the world. Plus the 8th annual Brain-A-Thon event just went live and you can register to view the encore.
These are a few of the upcoming events on 11/19 that are open for registration:
  • Massachusetts Virtual Breakfast - MA (8:30-10 a.m. EST on 11/19)
  • Women's Entrepreneurship Day (WED) - RI (11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. EST on 11/19) ~ Multiple panel sessions that I've been helping organize as the Rhode Island Ambassador for WEDO.
  • WED headquarters Virtual Summit - GLOBAL / NY (2-4:30 p.m. EST on 11/19)

​Interesting fact:
 Wendy Diamond, Founder of Women's Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO), also founded Animal Fair Media, Inc. and authored numerous books including these about dogs and cats!


As I also mentioned the 8th Annual Brain-A-Thon and Neurogym Brain Retraining, these programs are designed to help you:
  • Rewire your brain to raise your income ceiling (yes, this is possible!)
  • Increase the power of your prefrontal cortex (the source of "self-regulation") to create more willpower, self-confidence & resilience…
  • Overcome the limiting beliefs & disempowering habits teachers/society/authority figures have instilled in you
  • Raise your threshold for stress, so that setbacks won't bother you in the way they do now...
  • Be more creative, have more "great, big ideas", learn faster (and remember what you learned)...
  • Make smarter decisions (saving you time AND money – and reducing regrets)...
  • End procrastination forever, and be a lot more productive...
...plus a long list of other desirable qualities. Register here for access to the Brain-A-Thon! (replay will be on November 21st at 12 noon EST or Choose Another Neurogym Program)

Inkwhy Updates - Currnt Trends, Visionary Events, Women's Entrepreneurship Day Rhode Island Launch

11/1/2020

0 Comments

 
By Janice Dru-Bennett
​
Starting off the month with announcements on what's trending in the Currnt "Global Work-From-Home" expert panel, Visionary's upcoming events (including the Princeton Tigers Arranged Meetings model that will be shared on November 4th aligning with Princeton University's first Innovation and Entrepreneurship Conference: Engage 2020. Finally, plans are coming together for the first Rhode Island celebration of Women's Entrepreneurship Day on November 19th!
Facilitating "The Global Work-from-Home Experience: Trends, Tools and Best Practices" Currnt expert panel, we will also publish a digital report on this past week's interactions, with these summary insights:

  1. Various trends to explore during the work-from-home era include creating work-life balance among remote workers, how to improve networking and trusted relationships.
  2. Innovative technology such as AI could help make the remote office environment more natural, and understanding that people work differently with different digital backgrounds and experiences.
  3. Subjects of inclusivity, equality, and discrimination are also relevant topics, considering people who are in blue collar vs. white collar jobs and impact on DEI as it relates to remote work.
  4. Additional trends include "real" changes to productivity, age differences, how we interact with technology, remote meeting effectiveness, mental/emotional balance, effect on teamwork, creativity, etc.

Building Trusted Relationships While WFH
Trust is an essential ingredient of any good working relation. Many elements of trust building and maintaining are tied into all sorts of work and social rituals like meetings, coffee, social drinks/gathering.
- Bart Groenewoud

Well-being initiatives with a remote workforce
Well-being in the workplace is increasingly recognised as being of key strategic importance for a successful business. But, it is increasingly difficult for leaders to protect and promote employee wellbeing.
- Joanne Roxburgh

Bridging the gap between digital generations
Younger generations can be considered digital natives: they’ve never known a world that was not connected and they use all devices with intuitive ease. How do bridge the gap for inclusivity and productivity?
- Bart Groenewoud

Apply to join the expert panel, to share your thought leadership with others:

- CIOs
- Distance Learning Experts
- COOs
- Corporate Strategy
- Workforce Experts
- Remote Working Technologists
- Health and Wellness Experts (Ergonomics)
- HR Experts

Look forward to meeting folks virtually in upcoming events, as well as discussing next week's Currnt topic as it relates to health and wellness for remote workers!
