My mission and message for you remain the same:
- Leverage the professional behavior and mindset which positively impact your professional trajectory and how you tell your professional story, your legacy story.
- Transform your business and hiring models, created for yesterday, into compelling models with equally valuable stories made for what’s next in our dynamic, interconnected and continuously-changing business environments.
- Translate the story of how your organization drives strategic business and human capital value by creating Trust. Positively impact employee and client acquisition and retention when everyone is co-invested in their interconnected stories, together.
Why continue to rely on telling Yesterday’s stories to get you to where you, now, need to go? Let’s create your Signature Stories. Together. Regardless of whether you are a business of one, a small business or a department within a major organization. So we get to where we need to go. One millimeter at a time. Together.
Workshop Title: PROFESSIONAL INNOVATION. Storytelling for Purpose-Driven Value Differentiation.
Keywords: Professional Development, Communication, Leadership
How can you become more visible, relevant and valuable to your employer, strategic partners and clients? Especially when you are stuck in an order-taker role, when you really are an innovator. Or, you work in a department that leadership perceives as a cost-center, rather than a revenue-generator.
Today’s connected business and operations environments beg for cross-functionally comfortable, competent and confident professionals, who leverage both critical-thinking and innovative problem-solving skills: across the organization, not just within departmental silos.
“Babette’s workshop methodology got teams thinking about their projects differently, even considering how to pivot, why and when. ” ~ John McIntyre, President Life Science Advisors
Move one millimeter beyond legacy skill sets and professional mindsets, behaviors, biases and habits which keep you comfortably stuck. Create the purpose-driven professional story of how you deliver differentiated value to colleagues, partners and clients, time after time. Build, lead, transform and sustain your career trajectory. Get everyone to where they need to go: Together.
Outcomes and Benefits:
- Translate your mindset, skill sets and professional story across traditional communication disconnects between people and professional disciplines;
- Create more enduring, purpose-driven and client-focused outcomes by focusing beyond making your numbers or fulfilling key performance indicators; and
- Earn your seat at the leadership table, as you transform into a more visible, relevant and valuable Professional of Worth: not only within your own department but also throughout your organization.
Workshop Title: WORKFORCE INNOVATION. Create a Purpose-Driven Storytelling Culture to Create and Retain Successful Employees.
Keywords: Human Capital Strategy, Professional Diversity & Inclusion, Communication
Creating customer experience and generating revenue are part of everyone’s job responsibilities, regardless of job titles, pay grades, levels of education or generations. Yet, business and hiring models continue to separate employee stakeholders. STEM professionals and left brain thinkers often reside in cost-center silos. Right brain business professionals dwell in revenue-generator silos. And manual workers often feel they are intimidated, excluded or marginalized from being valued in any silo. Maintaining this model erodes workforce profitability, employee experience and employee and customer retention.
“Babette Ten Haken as one of a handful of top experts on the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). She understands how IIoT technology drives down production and maintenance costs for manufacturers and, even more importantly, how it can provide organizations with a wealth of customer information.” ~ Tom Pick, Webbiquity
There is no better way to catalyze employee and customer success than storytelling. As Babette Ten Haken says: “Depending on where we sit around the table, we ‘see’ the same things, differently. Shouldn’t our differences become our strengths and opportunities to better serve each other, and our customers?” Create an organization-wide storytelling culture as the fulcrum for an innovative human capital strategy. Attract and retain employees co-invested in the stories they build within your organization.
Outcomes and Benefits:
- Create a strategy that begins at hiring and onboarding, to drive employee development and stakeholder success.
- Improve cross-disciplinary and cross-educational collaboration and communication, regardless of employee job titles, pay grades, levels of education and generations.
- Shift the perceived value of the human resource department from cost-center to human capital strategy innovator.
Workshop Title: BUSINESS GROWTH. Tell the Stories Employee Stakeholders and Customers really need to Hear!
Keywords: Communication, Customer Retention, Strategic Partnerships, Business Growth
Do stakeholders and customers trust the stories you tell? Or, do your stories fall short of connecting their culture with yours? Are you really telling stories? Or, are you narrating business cases to justify investment in your products and services, in anticipation of some sort of benefit and/or outcome? Discover the important differences.
