  • On Monday, Make Cycle leaders will publish a Newsletter announcing the theme of the cycle and sharing some related ideas and resources. Make Cycle leaders will then plan and facilitate a Make with Me live broadcast event on Tuesday evening which will be archived for later viewing. Make Cycle leaders will host a Twitter chat on Thursday evening to support reflection and discussion. All chats will also be archived. Then a second Newsletter toward the end of the week will prompt the community to reflect on their creations, highlight some of what’s been seen and made, and surface connections to the Connected Learning principles. Make Cycles are open-ended invitations. When in doubt, make, play, connect and learn in community.

    blog post by Jennifer Gilhool, 6.4.2013 "You are connected to work 24/7. You don't need your lap top to be connected. You are connected via BlackBerry, iPhone and iPad to name just a few. These devices no longer provide flexibility. Instead, they tether you to the office. They enable you to work all the time and anywhere. And, now, many companies believe that is the definition of flexibility: "'What flexibility means today is not part time,' the head of work-life at one large organization told me recently. 'What people want is the ability to work anytime, anywhere.' That's true if your target labor pool is twenty-somethings and men married to homemakers. The head of HR at another large organization asked, when I described the hours problem, 'What do you mean, how can we get women to work more hours?'" - Why Men Work So Many Hours, Joan C.

And, this behavior is not limited to operations in America. I work for a multi-national corporation that cannot seem to wean itself from the 24 hour work day. Colleagues in China often begin their day with a 6:00 a.m. meeting and end it with a meeting that begins at 10:00 p.m. or, worse, 11:00 p.m. To combat this problem, the company leadership agreed to a global meeting policy. The policy provides that global meetings should occur only between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. and that no meetings should occur on Friday nights in Asia Pacific. Further, the policy provides a 10 hour fatigue rule. In other words, there should be 10 hours between your last meeting of the day and your first meeting on the next day. First, if you need a global meeting policy, you are in

    women's professional crises; we are not brave enough; we have not learned how to stand up for what we want to be, do, etc. girls go underground when they enter puberty--stop thinking they can be a leader, become reoccupied with their image, go underground. Crisis emerges--on average, most women (70%) face three crises at a time. 1) can't speak up 2) can't get out of crushing competition 3) can't break cycle of mistreatment by narcissists 4) can't heal chronic illness 5) can't do work that I love. See bravely, speak bravely, shine bravely is way to change one's life. How are you special? What are your amazing gifts? How are you precious and valuable in this world? "The talents that come easily to you are just the ones the world needs." Are you leveraging the talents that come easily to you? Women are viewed more negatively than men when they are perceived as forceful. Sharing who you are is not bragging. 20 facts of who you are and what you have done, and why it's important. Way to attract people who need you. Own your authority but ground it in value and respect. ground forceful statements in one of your values. Frame it with a value, then explain position. All ideas have value. Shine bravely--

  • The key is to develop the capacity to move rapidly to reap the most benefit from influence, leverage and learning. Firms and other institutions need to cultivate the ability to participate in an expanding range of knowledge flows effectively. 
  • They must also find ways to effectively filter through this expanding range of knowledge flows to extract the insights and approaches that have the potential to create the most value. Finally, they also need to quickly turn around and apply these insights and approaches both within their organization and across a broader range of participants in the system. In sum, the winners will be those who master the techniques required for scalable learning.
  • These are proactive strategies of movement – designed to strengthen influence points by harnessing their learning potential. If done right, it creates a powerful virtuous cycle – more effective learning attracts others and expands influence which in turn increases the potential for further learning.  To borrow a favorite phrase from my colleague, John Seely Brown, we trigger a generative dance between position and movement that takes us to unforeseen levels of impact.

  • Here are some key questions you should be asking and answering:   Who occupies influence points today within my market or industry? What are potential new influence points that might emerge from the fundamental forces reshaping my market or industry? Who is working to build and occupy new influence points? Have I built robust relationships with these players?
  • One final thought – what if we applied this strategic notion of influence points and accelerated learning to our individual lives? How could we increase our personal impact?

    John Hagel is a co-chair of Deloitte Center for the Edge. Here he talks about influence points and positioning oneself among influence points through our technology enabled connections. Power laws still concentrate an extraordinary # of connections around a few nodes. But having access to knowledge flows, one will be able to anticipate what's going to happen before others do, one could perhaps shape the flows and more rapid learning may occur because of access to a growing and diverse set of information or knowledge flows. Learning faster than anyone else will enable a company or person to "have a significant advantage relative to those who are scrambling to catch up." Uses the PC microprocessor and operating system components to concretize influence points.

  • Step 1: Set Goals by Baselining Your Health
  • Step 3: Identify Harmful Patterns
  • Visualizing your desired outcome is a useful tool in your journey. “Seeing” yourself as you wish to be has helped smokers quit, obese people lose weight, and sports champions achieve their goals. In order to change the printout of the body, you must learn to rewrite the software of the mind.

  • Step 4: Make Steady Changes
  • One way to break that cycle is to reward ourselves in a different way. Instead of eating cake, we can go play a game or listen to music.
  • Some of the choices that trigger dopamine's release: eating sweet foods, taking drugs, having sex.
  • So begin with a victory you can define and which means something to you.
  • How long does it take to form a new habit? An average of 66 days, according to a 2009 study from University College, London. Repetition and giving yourself time to adjust are the main factors in forming a new behavior pattern.

  • Remember those moments when you just don’t feel like doing a task, but you know you have to?
  • Contrary to many Vince Lombardi-type motivations, willpower is more like an energy that can be depleted. Willpower is a finite resource. It works in cycles; it is something that you build on and know when to maximize.
  • As psychologist Roy Baumeister and science writer John Tierney pointed out in their Willpower book, it works a lot like a muscle. Like a muscle, it can get tired and need recovery.

  • It also needs to be nourished. It is affected by a lot of factors such as stress, physical health, and nutrition. In other words, your “spirit can be willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised.”
  • 1.) DEFINING WHAT MOTIVATES YOU
  • f there is no underlying passion and serious motivation behind a goal, temptations can easily power their way against you.
  • .) DIVIDING YOUR GOALS INTO SMALLER PIECES
  • Starting is actually the secret to accomplishing a lot of things. Just by starting, somehow you are compelled to continue on. 
  • 3.) GRADUAL PROGRESSION & ACCUMULATING POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
  • 4.) YOUR HEALTH MATTERS
  • 5.) WORK ON YOUR EMOTIONAL BLOCKAGES
  • Find that breakthrough and learn why, at times, you may feel like it doesn’t matter.
  • 6.) ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR LIMITATIONS
  • 7.) MEDITATION
