On 17th of June 2010, I headed to Inventis Forum 2010, Novotel Hotel. The event was organized by Business Edu. It was the second day of the event.
My notes:
Cătălin ZAHARIA (MindMaster) – The HiPotential employee: measuring potential and success-factors based coaching
– The crisis is just another normality;
– We had different kind of “normal” in these times:
- 2001;
- 2007-2008;
- 2009-2010;
“Imagination is more important than knowledge” (Albert EINSTEIN)
– I our minds, we have these kinds of thoughts:
- Somatic (body / feelings) – little used in business;
- Cognitive (body / intellect);
- Field (relationship / system) – little used in business;
– What does COACH stand for?
- Centering – here, in me;
- Opening – to suggestions;
- Attending – with awareness – to external factors;
- Connecting – with others, cooperating, asking questions;
- Holding – sustain, stay in that state;
– Mentoring helps you get access to how managers think & act;
– Personality tests measure factors that are stable in time;
– In sales it’s good to have a good procedure when dealing with clients;
– Recommended reading: Gary HAMEL – “The Future of Management”;
– If you say “I’m a busy person”, this labels your behavior;
– The idea that anyone can substantially change is a bit naive;
– At a management level, it’s very important to have a good Learning Quotient (LQ);
– LQ can be analyzed;
– Change can be:
- Palliative – changing cigarettes with candies;
- Generative – changing mentalities;
Radu IONESCU (RDI) – Internal solutions for training & outsourcing
– The crisis leads the firms into coherent behavior;
– Personal insight: if someone talks to me, I’m more attentive than in a situation when someone talks to a group;
I’ve also taken some photos (see the slideshow in full-screen mode):
