hat is the Question ?

“To be or not to be”, that is the question said the Prince of Denmark in Shakespeare’s epic play Hamlet.

In my opinion this is a very fundamental and philosophical question, and far too deep for my column! I thought I would keep things a lot simpler and pragmatic for you.

“To moan or not to moan”, this is the question I would like you to answer for yourself. When something happens that you don’t like or agree with, you can react in one of 3 ways:

OS!!
Your team had its training, came back full of energy and now it’s back to business. Although personal growth and development are high on the list of motivation factors of employees, strangely enough, they get lost in the day to day business. Wouldn’t it be nice to secure that all the learned skills and all the insights are used to the max, also on the longer term? That would really give ROI on the training.

This is exactly what motivated us to develop the Communicum Online Workspace, a brand new super tool that can be used both by companies and individuals, which gives you a structure to make concrete plans out of creative ideas and hidden talents. And provides a place to keep up the good work: you can return to the Communicum Online Workspace anytime and add to your insights, actions and plans. The Online Workspace is already in use with some of our clients and we will keep you posted on the developments.

ring on the learning revolution!
According to Sir Ken Robinson, many people go through their lives having no real sense of what their talents may be. Or if they have any at all. They’re enduring their working life, not enjoying. Some people love what they do and can’t image doing anything else. Because it isn’t what they do, it’s who they are. It’s their authentic self. Sir Ken Robinsons seeks the solution in a learning revolution. Talents lie hidden deep under the surface and are kept undiscovered at standardized schools. But human communities depend upon a diversity of talents. Sir Ken makes the case for personalized learning - creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish in an organic way.

n every newsletter you’ll find a book tip from Communicum. This time it’s “The Trusted Advisor” by David Maister, Charles Green and Robert Galford.

It is a hot topic for many organizations and people, but how do you become a Trusted Advisor? What competences do you need and can anyone develop into one? This book has a lot of insights on trust and clearly describes processes with examples. The trusted Advisor is a big inspiration for our trainers who have been, and will be, actively involved in this matter, developing training modules and bringing the theory into practice with clients. This subject has our focus and if you are interested to talk about this view on client relations, please contact us!
