Doesnt that sound wonderful, almost too good be true . But it is true. There is one amazing, powerful tool that helps achieve any work, career goal, whether it s: **Clarifying vision, mission, goals; **Finding a job or keeping one; **Promotions, pay raises; **Changing careers; or **even Starting a business. That is what you will gain from this webinar.
First we need to recognize what our paradigms are, our habits of the mind that close or box us in. We must be open to thinking about work, career, job search in new and different ways. We have to think outside of the box as much as we do in it to truly maximize our success.
Starting at the top, with what is most important. - What do you want for your work and life career advancement and success; happy marriage; great friendships; long, healthy life; successful children? 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 4
What does your workplace want?: - ** Achieve vision, mission, goals; resolve burning, keep you awake at night issues? ** More clients, sales, revenue, performance, results, customer satisfaction, work life balance? 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 5
Well, whatever you and your workplace wants comes mainly from learning. Yes, learning! What you and I learn is primarily how we become who we are, and have whatever we need/want. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 6
Consider, for example the huge differences in cultures and countries, and the remarkable difference between us and other living creatures (learning vs instinct). 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 7
Just think of what that means; what the tremendous potential and possibilities are with learning, and how it is a shared, diverse, worldwide experience. Look at how much Google searching and other social media are used. How exciting and inspiring! 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 8
So what is the most powerful, effective learning, or how do we learn in the most powerful, effective ways? And attain what we want or need the most. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 9
Its the natural, Optimal Learning Professional/Personal Development and Improvement (OL-PDI) process. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 10
That is how we naturally, optimally learn, develop and improve a hobby, craft, sport or profession/field like photography, cooking, teaching, sales, customer service or management. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 11
ln order to learn a hobby, craft, sport or profession/field, what do we do? We naturally **Talk to leaders and experts; **Read books and magazines; **Take workshops, courses; **Attend professional meetings and conferences; **Gather information, tools, resources; **Participate in LinkedIn and Facebook. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 12
So for example, the initial OL-PDI for customer service (CS) might be: Participate in CS professional associations; talk to CS leaders and experts; attend CS service professional meetings and conferences; gather CS information, tools and resources; develop a CS professional network; engage in CS blogs, LinkedIn groups. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 13
Note how powerful, effective that customer service OL-PDI is for learning the CS Profession; developing and improving CS expertise, and being a knowledgeable, well- informed, on the cutting edge , successful CS professional/leader. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 14
For another example, the OL-PDI for the Adult Education Administration (AEA) profession/field could be: 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 15
Participating in AEA professional association meetings and conferences; talking to AEA leaders and experts; reading AEA publications, newsletters, journals; attending AEA workshops and webinars; researching, gathering AEA information, tools and resources; engaging in AAE listservs, blogs, LinkedIn groups. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 16
Note how powerful, effective that AEA OL-PDI is for learning the AEA profession/field; developing AEA expertise; and being a knowledgeable, well-informed, on the cutting edge , successful AEA professional/leader. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 17
So the OL-PDI process means: A) Immersing yourself in taking workshops; going to professional meetings and conferences; talking with experts; reading magazines, journals; participating in Linkedin (OL-PDI Tools).
B) Becoming a knowledgeable, expert, well-informed, well-connected, on the cutting edge , successful professional/leader in your work, position, practice, expertise or profession/field. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 19
What is the result/outcome of immersing and fully utilizing, taking advantage of that OL-PDI process? What will inevitably happen or come up? 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 20
One biggie is job openings, the hidden job market without having to hunt or dig them up. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 21
How?: just by getting into the OL-PDI process and focusing on becoming knowledgeable, expert, well-informed, well- connected, on the cutting edge in your work, position, practice, expertise or profession/field. Think of how we catch a butterfly. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 22
Most of all and most exciting about immersion in the OL-PDI process, and being knowledgeable, expert, well- informed, well-connected, on the cutting edge is this. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 23
It strategically positions you and I to see: - ** Work, positions, consulting that can be created or reinvented ; ** Niches, unmet needs in the marketplace that can bring you riches, AND ** Significant contributions you can make to your work, workplace and profession/ field. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 24
That opens up a whole new career fulfilling, rewarding realm or paradigm of possibilities besides just already existing job openings. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 25
Consequently, OL-PDI has been the foundation, launching pad for my long term success creating and directing a new position or department three times, leading or co-leading four major initiatives at some of the best universities and corporations like Motorola, Northern Trust, Navistar. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 26
As you can see, OL-PDI and being expert, well-informed, well-connected, on the cutting edge is for gaining what you want for your work, career with less effort, hunting or time whether it s finding a new position; gaining a promotion, pay raise; making a career change, or even starting a business. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 27
The reason why as mentioned in the beginning is this. What you and I want for our work, career is learned, and OL-PDI is how we naturally, optimally learn, develop, grow, improve just about anything. - It s learning how to learn; the teaching how to fish . 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 28
However, there is a big problem or catch. Because OL-PDI is so much a part of our lives, we can easily take it for granted, and implement it in a haphazard, random, hit and miss way. . 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 29
Big problem or catch. We may not connect OL-PDI with professional goals, nor an action and accountability plan, and only think of or use just a few of its tools (there are 23 OL-PDI tools). 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 30
In other words, we tend to waste or squander the incredible power and potential of how we naturally, optimally learn, develop and improve rather than harness and fully utilize it. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 31
So how do we harness OL-PDIs amazing power and potential, and fully utilize or take full advantage of it? 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 32
In the OL-PDI Worksheet/ Foundation and Tools, the entire OL- PDI process is systematically, thoroughly and effectively set up with a OL-PDI action and accountability plan, and 23 tools. 11/4/14 Rev. Randy Bennett Ed.D. randy@maxfulfillment.com 33
