From Inbox exercise: EMAIL 1 from your boss, Adam Do me a favor, please? I need to add to a proposal a half page of key concepts from this 14 minute video of David Rock at TEDxTokyo presenting “learning about the brain changes everything.” I haven’t had a chance to watch so can you capture and send to me? EMAIL 2: From Brenda in HR Welcome to the team! Please send me, by end of day, something I can use to introduce you to the wider team. Please include your background, why you decided to join NLI, and the kinds of things people can expect from you as a team member. Make sure this is no more than one screen on an average computer. Thanks. EMAIL 3: From Celia, your boss's boss Attached is the proposal we want to send to ClientCo tomorrow. Please do two things: • Review and mark-up your corrections of any mistakes • Incorporate notes from our meeting with the client (below) into the proposal (make sure that’s also marked so I can see where/how you did it) Looking forward to getting the updated version back from you. ClientCo has begun a strategic initiative to become an employer of choice in order to increase our attractiveness to candidates and to reduce employee turnover. As a part of that strategic initiative, ClientCo is investing in training to reduce bias in the organization and increase inclusion. 1X 90-120 minutes DECIDE keynote to management team (fee plus T&E) 1X60-120 minute DECIDE keynote to HR team 1X30-45 minute session with ERG team no additional cost but must be same day and location as above suggested agenda for the session would be 15 minute overview of NLI's POV on either unconscious bias (our SEEDS model) or our POV on inclusion (our SCARF model) with 15-30 minutes of Q&A) NLI will not develop participant materials for this session. EMAIL 4: Also from your boss About the company that reached out to you- ClientCo is one of the world's leading financial services companies, providing insurance, annuities, employee benefits and asset management. They were founded in 1868, have operations in more than 40 countries, and hold leading market positions in the United States, Latin America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Here’s their challenge, as they explained it to me in an email: “We’re losing great talent to our competitors at a rate that we haven’t seen in the past. We want a refreshed talent strategy that's in line with our company mission and values, and keeps us flush with the best and brightest employees. The new plan must articulate attitudes and behaviors that drive the way we attract, select, develop, and retain employees, and it all needs to be in line with our goals around diversity and inclusion.”
