Plucky believes that the world will be more just when its leadership roles are filled by a vast diversity of voices, perspectives and visions. To that end, we are launching the So Now You’re a Manager Equity Scholarship.
This tool’s purpose is to help you get through *today* because the ability to self-regulate and get work done even when you are a little bored by it is an insanely valuable thing.
You know what’s great about *everyone* being remote these days? You can do professional development workshops without some folks feeling left out. Also, I can lead those workshops without you needing to worry about airfare. WIN-WIN. This year we’ll be offering Plucky Lunch & Learns (or brunch or coffee break, time of day is somewhat…
Plucky’s elasticity (nurtured by our slow growth) has been the secret to keeping the business afloat this year. Schedules haven’t been pretty and sanity is long-gone but the need for scaling back isn’t unfamiliar.
This is a message for working moms on Mother’s Day 2020. For the ladies holding it together at home and work (and beyond) during a worldwide pandemic. I see you. <3
Every December, we publish My Plucky Path, a free career planning guide for the upcoming year. We did that 4 months ago… and then 2020 fell apart.
It would be a weird time among Covid-19 to launch something so significant except for the fact that the entire world needs coaches right now.
Here is a simple tool for 1:1s in Turbulent Times. It’s not long and it’s not complicated; it serves simply as a way for someone to prepare some thoughts so you can get beyond “wow, this is a crazy time, huh?”
Like with any successful 1:1, your report really just wants to know you’re listening to what they’re saying. Use the opportunity to check in virtually and to reassure everyone that something in this world is still the same.
While the world handles the Covid-19 virus, we can’t babysit for hours – but we *can* offer you 15 minutes. Check your email, respond to the message with the highest priority… or make a cup of coffee. Your choice.
If you’re the person who says yes all the time, we have never heard you say no. And since there is not a person on this earth who has not wanted to decline things at some point, we start wondering: when is it a real yes? When is it a fake yes? In short, we stop trusting you.
Join us for So Now You’re a Manager’s cohort 013 this June 25-26, 2020. We will be hosted by Two Sigma Ventures in Soho. This is our third time back in NYC for this event and it’s always such a good time.
