Rob recommends: Jeff Dyer on Innovation

Gillian recommends: Building Resillience

Kristina reccomends: Time Blocking (aka Block Scheduling)

Michael reccomends: Developing Executive Presence

When someone says executive presence, they think well I am not an executive, but this doesn't necessarily mean your title, it means the ability to inspire confidence in others whether its with your coworkers, applicants, hiring managers, etc. Its about building trust and solid relationship foundations.

One of our Acosta Group 8 WOWs is to be Progressive and Disruptive: "We create a climate that cultivates diverse thinking to promote and nurture innovation". How can we all learn to challenge the status quo, think outside the box, bring groundbreaking ideas to life and deliver exceptional value?

The key to delivering results is prioritizing the right things then planning your months, weeks and days to deliver on your committments. For me, the secret sauce is time blocking aka block scheduling.

Resiliency and change are intertwined, when we build our resilience, it assists us through life's challenges and changes.
