1. Curating Virtual Content! It is time to look at the vast amount of content, context, and resources that have been created and shared by your virtually distributed workforce in the past 4 months. Yet, where is it? And, can it be curated by others in the organization?
Pick a few colleagues and start a project around Curation for the virtual content. Some awesome resources are now located on hard drives of laptops. Other learning assets are embedded into emails. And, think of the video conversations that have harvested knowledge with colleagues on Zoom, WebEx, or Google Hangouts. Curation is the Optimization of Content Access and Distribution.
Look at tagging, searching, assessing, and sharing Virtual Content! Now is the perfect time to make Curation a part of your Re-Boarding efforts.
2. Health Shifts During Pandemic? I have been in some intriguing conversations with colleagues around the world about how their health may have shifted during the Pandemic. Some report they got in shape, did more exercise, and felt healthier. Some reported a weight gain, given the lack of movement and proximity to the refrigerator. Others decided to move their camera position and spend more time standing up during video meetings. Have a conversation with some people in your company or family about the health shifts impacting people during the Pandemic. On a personal level, I gained just a few pounds and have done less exercise. So, I am focusing movement in the time ahead. Feel free to send me a confidential note about your own experiences - emasie@masie.com
3. Empathy Concert & Perspectives Invite: Friday, June 26th. I invite you and your colleagues to join us for our Empathy Concert, to be held on Friday, June 26th from 4 pm to 5 pm EDT.
We will host Broadway Stars and Learning Leaders as we discuss and hear songs about Empathy! It is more important now, as the world continues and evolves the challenges of the Pandemic.
