#eMentorMinute PT 2. It’s subtle and pervasive and can be nearly impossible to do at work. And – if your conversation is light and familiar, it might be no big deal… but good listening and digital devices do not play well together. (https://t.co/4aIFyg2QwO) #ementorconnect

#eMentorMinute PT 1. Hide your device. Having your smartphone on the table during a meeting or over lunch is a flashing neon sign that sends a clear message to your conversation partner: “IM NOT LISTENING”.

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

Schedule meetings like a kitchen renovation: simply assume every meeting is going to take 30% longer. Just try it for a day or two and see how it affects the quality of your meetings. (click to read more: https://t.co/4aIFyg2QwO) #ementorconnect #mentee #corporatementorship

#eMentorMinute PT 1. Make time. The scientific pros and cons of being perpetually late is a conversation du jour. But one thing we know is that listening takes time, and that to be “in a hurry” means that mentally, you’ve already left.

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT 4. If you see your smartphone during the conversation, you’re far more likely to pick it up (even if it doesn’t make a sound), and then guess what? You’re officially not listening. (Click to read more: https://t.co/4aIFyg2QwO) #mentee #ementorconnect

#eMentorMinute PT 1. Good listening requires an environment that is conducive to focused attention. Plenty of external aspects are simply beyond our control, but there are plenty that we can address before the first word is spoken.

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT 3. We start looking at it without any prompts whatsoever. We can start to take the reins back by hiding our devices. Your phone is a visual trigger:

New Year, New Features!!! Our goal for the newest version (3.0.6) of the eMentorConnect® mentoring platform was to make it easier for more people to use our tools, and connect... (Click to read more https://t.co/bZYUWjPdET) #ementorconnect #corporatementorship #mentoringprogram

#eMentorMinute PT3. Again, culture is key: some teams willingly come together while others may never convene in person. (Click here to read more: https://t.co/Ib1AITKltR) #ementorconnect #humanresources #employees #remoteworkers #remoteoffice #corporateculture

#eMentorMinute PT1. Every boss tells their employees that ‘my door is always open’ should you need help with something. When there is no door, the team must set up its own ‘official’ channels in which to seek direct help or feedback.

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT2. This can take the form of advice on your work, a weekly team call, or a quarterly meet-up for drinks in person. You might consider all three!

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT3. All employees can benefit from asking this question of new tasks: “How does this advance our mission and goals?” [Click to read more: https://t.co/Ib1AITKltR] #ementorconnect #ementorconnect #humanresources #careers #remoteemployees #remoteworker

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT1. Effective businesses have both a mission and a plan to achieve it, and effective businesses take great pains to ensure that every employee knows the mission and understands their role in the plan.

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT2. Remote employees aren’t going to get the daily opportunities for the reinforcement of the mission by coming to the office, so it’s more important than ever that they know and understand precisely what they are working for, and how they fit into the Grand Plan.

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

PT 2. It is equally important that you have a well-balanced and healthy professional life. It’s time to consider in 2020 who is helping you ensure that your career has the versatility needed to thrive in your 9 to 5. (Click to read more https://t.co/yOGMXHehE0)

PT1. We love the start of a New Year! For many, it provides the fuel needed to re-engage and focus on personal goals after some self-reflection. Some hire personal trainers to tone up and meet physical health goals. While fitting into that old pair of jeans is important...

[Zima @MichaelZima]

@eMentorConnect The mood is an important aspect. The work-life balance is apart of the remote culture. https://t.co/JZz6cBjshD

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT4. Providing some appropriate level of detail about status, availability, current workload, and related topics are how your team knows your mood. [Click to read more https://t.co/Ib1AITKltR] #remoteteam #remote #ementorconnect

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT1. Have you ever been in a traditional work setting, and noticed that one of your teammates was quiet and withdrawn? You might simply observe them for a while, seeking more information about what might be an issue.

[eMentorConnect @eMentorConnect]

#eMentorMinute PT3. We apply the same assumptions to our remote teammates, and in the absence of body language, silence is definitely NOT golden.
