The Squiggly Careers - Podcast Group new Finished 12:00 - 13:00 CPMO: MS Teams

You've heard of a book group, but how about one for podcasts? In these sessions we will focus on a different episode from the wonderful Squiggly Careers Amazing If podcasts, which includes over 300 episodes on career based topics ranging from coaching and confidence, to strength and values.

Before each session you will be sent a link to a podcast episode to listen to and reflect upon. During the session you will be led through a selection of tasks/exercises recommended in the episode Pod Sheet. You will have the opportunity to work on these individually and then reflect back as a group.

Session 9: How to increase your visibility at work

In this episode podcast hosts talk about the actions you can take to increase your visibility with authenticity. It’s not about doing more work and it’s not about being the person who shouts about the loudest. It’s more about the simple and consistent things you do so your work is seen, heard, and recognised.

For teams to be high performing they need to develop high trust. A high trust team is one where there is respect, people are comfortable to be themselves and challenge each other, and where the whole adds up to more than the sum of the parts. In this session, we explore the key contributors to creating and sustaining a high trust team.

What you will learn:

  • A framework for assessing team trust today
  • How quality questions can create and increase team trust
  • How to create a prioritised team action plan for creating/building/sustaining a high performance team

Let's Talk about Menopause with Henpicked new Finished 12:30 - 13:30 N/A - MS Teams

Join Holly Edwards from Henpicked for an interactive webinar on the topic of Menopause.

Menopause can have an effect on us all, whether we're experiencing menopause directly or supporting a family member, friend or colleague. While some will sail through menopause, 3 in 4 experience symptoms and as many as 1 in 4 have serious symptoms. However, around half have never consulted a healthcare professional about their menopause.

Research also shows that the majority of those experiencing the menopause are unwilling to discuss menopause-related health problems with their managers or ask for any support they may need. We are passionate about the wellbeing of our partners, team colleagues or family members and that means talking about menopause openly.

For any further questions, please contact the Staff Wellbeing Team staffwellbeing@admin.cam.ac.uk

Have you ever wondered how Lean thinking can help from a project management perspective? Do you get frustrated when bottlenecks occur within the project process?

If so, join us in this session with Linda Spinks, Continuous Improvement Manager, to find out about some tools and techniques that can help.

Look forward to seeing you there!
