Agile gets more agile with Transactional Competence
 
 
SPECIAL WEBINAR — 25 MAY — 4:00–5:30 PM PACIFIC
 
 
Most Agile Coaches struggle with Influencing up—getting greater buy-in for authentic Agility. It isn't easy to influence executive buy-in, and more challenging is to get buy-in for the real deal. In the absence of authentic Agility, you get all the pain and none of the gain. Join our panel of agility-focused Influential U students as we discuss how Transactional Competence™ allows Agility to out-perform expectations. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Investing in yourself is your greatest asset
Your human capital is your ability to be compensated more (or the same within a shorter time or with less labor). Financial advisors don’t talk about this too often; however, being better at what you do (skill, specialty, etc.) creates a greater return than any other financial instrument. The greatest asset on your balance sheet isn’t your home or stock portfolio; it is YOU.
 
Can’t get no satisfaction? This is what’s missing.
We often see, even in the most successful achievers, an imbalance in their lives. Perhaps they make a high income, but their health is poor. Maybe they are so focused on one aspect of life that they struggle to satisfy others. It isn’t easy to create balance in our lives, however, it is quite possible to be profoundly satisfied across many Conditions of Life.
 
 
John Patterson calls BS on Showtime series Billions’ take on being ‘transactional’
As a teacher of Transactional Competence, I am used to hearing the term “transactional” misused and abused. However, a recent rash of scenes on the Showtime series BILLIONS has finally brought me out from behind the velvet rope of my business to call B.S. on the show’s bastardization of something we all do every day—transact. Humankind exchanges to survive. No one is immune.
 
Our fascination with Anna Sorokin—charming fraudster or genius influencer?
Everything you know about being an influencer is wrong. Well, somewhat wrong. Case in point: a huge hit on Netflix is “Inventing Anna”, a drama miniseries starring Julia Garner, about the case of Anna “Delvey” Sorokin, a German convicted con artist and fraudster who Instagram-pretended to be a wealthy heiress defrauding banks, hotels, and acquaintances of hundreds of thousands of dollars. How has she stolen “the hearts and money of New York elites” as well as all this attention? Is she a charming fraudster or a genius influencer?
 
 
In defense of ambition (nope, it’s not a dirty word)
When did ambition become a dirty word? Perhaps we have forsaken the pursuit of opportunity equality (anyone can become anything) in favor of pursuing outcome equality (trophies for showing up). Studies have found that ambitious people attain higher education and income levels, build more prestigious careers, and report higher overall life satisfaction.
 
Want surplus? Befriend boredom.
Most millionaire households do not have the extravagant lifestyles that most people would assume. Rather than surrendering their income to luxury goods or status items, they live below their means and devote their time to continued study, nurturing relationships, and self-improvement.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Code Blue: A Lifeline for Healthcare Careers in Crisis
COVID has overwhelmed the global healthcare complex, which is now teetering on the brink of either a breakdown or breakthrough. About one in five healthcare professionals have left their job and the industry in the US since the pandemic started. For those who remain, what new skills are needed to cope? For those who resigned, how do they not just survive but thrive?
 
What’s your Superpower? Your personality.
This powerful 90-min webinar focuses on a primary cornerstone of Transactional Competence™ that we call Personality and Transactional Behavior; it’s about how we approach every exchange. It’s about how you and I grapple with our everyday interactions with people; all of our relationship conversations, business meetings, and essential exchanges.
