SUMMARY:Learning and Development Roundtable - Personalities and Team Work: Communicate Better\, Resolve Conflict Easier and Lessen Misunderstandings with Life Lenses®
DESCRIPTION:– Are your team mates driving you up the wall?\n– Do you sometimes feel like you’re speaking a language nobody gets but you\, and you DESPERATELY wish you could communicate more clearly and be understood?\n– Do you feel like there’s an invisible wall between you and your team members preventing collaboration?\n– Do you hate conflict\, and yet somehow find yourself navigating a bunch of misunderstandings\, hurt feelings\, and confusion?\n– Do you feel like you’re having to constantly decipher the people around you? Best case\, it’s tiring. Worst case\, it feels like people are trying to provoke you with all the daft\, dumb things they’re doing. \n\nWe’ve got a lot of things coming at us\, so naturally — and quite rightly — we filter LOTS of things out.\nBut what if you’re also filtering out too much of the stuff that actually matters? What if all of that unconscious filtering is the very reason you so often feel stuck\, lost\, misunderstood. As if everyone around you is speaking Greek. \nThe consequences are huge; we miss out on the insights\, and experiences that can enrich our lives. We miss out on the things that can help us reduce conflict\, lessen disagreements\, parent with ease\, create far better products\, services\, programs… \n\nHere’s the thing: Great minds DON’T think alike.\nOnly we’ve been sucked into the idea that they do. \nBut there is a way to shift your view\, to address your biases (we all have ‘em)\, and to benefit from other perspectives: \nLearn to look at life through different lenses – the Life Lenses® that is.. \n\nIn this free workshop on March 20th with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan you’ll:\n\nDiscover the eight Life Lenses® and which ones appeal to you the most\nIlluminate your ‘natural’ perspectives – and see where you shine when it comes to conflict\, communication\, team building\, project management\, and more\nUncover how you can communicate with lenses (a.k.a. your team members) that are different from yours (and why that’s so important)\nLearn how to avoid the very natural and very strong temptation to stick to your own lenses \nCount the workshop towards your annual UN professional development (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend\, any and all are welcome)\n\n\nRSVP by March 18th. Then watch your inbox for our agenda and how to participate online.\nPlease note the dates and times alternate each month so as to reach more people in various time zones at their request. \n\n7-8:30 am London\n8-9:30 am Paris\, Rome and Geneva\n9-10:30 am Beirut\n10-11:30 am Nairobi\, Amman and Mogadishu\n11-12:30 pm Abu Dhabi\n12:45–2:15 pm Kathmandu\n3-4:30 pm Manila\n4-5:30 pm Fukuoka\n\nClick here to convert to your timezone if it’s not listed above and to double-check the times as they can sometimes change due to daylight savings times. \nIf you’ve just realized with dread that the time is untenable for you this month\, don’t worry\, as long as you’re a  Learning and Development Roundtable member (membership is free) you’ll get access to the audio and (timestamped) video recordings\, workbook and more. \n\nTake action now –>\n\nBecome a member to receive invitations to the monthly meetings\, and get access to all the meeting resources (including time-stamped recordings in case you can’t make it in real-time).\nAnd don’t forget to  RSVP for this Roundtable by March 18th. \n\n  \nOptional:  Get even more out of this Roundtable by taking the Life Lenses® assessment ahead of time.
