SUMMARY:FACC-FL Webinar: Crossing the crisis with collective intelligence
DESCRIPTION:These times of confinement on a global scale are unprecedented and generate a great deal of stress and anxiety. However\, they also constitute a space we may benefit from if we take the time to think. \nCrossing the crisis with collective intelligence: \nThe ongoing situation with the virus Covid 19 has led professionals\, executives\, team members to leave their premises and work from home. These times of confinement on a global scale are unprecedented and generate a great deal of stress and anxiety. However they also constitute a space we may benefit from if we take the time to think\, reflect and exchange together. \nUsing the group as a means to cultivate feelings\, thoughts\, points of views and ideas I want to offer a space for FACC members to work on questions such as « what this situation means for me »\, « the opportunities I see » \, « how I project myself after the crisis … what’s new; how I succeed » . \nI will be using different techniques of collective intelligence to facilitate the group basing myself on the fact that if individually I may be quick\, together we go further. \nThe group will be limited to 8 people max with 2 sessions of 2\,5 hours and will be supported through the Zoom digital platform. \n  \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:FACC Houston Webinar: The Art of Negotiation
DESCRIPTION:DETAILS\nThe French-American Chamber of Commerce of Houston is hosting a 2-hour webinar addressing the art of negotiation: \nWhen it comes to negotiating\, what’s your approach? Ideally\, it helps to have a plan before a negotiation activity\, however\, the focus of the workshop will be expanding your knowledge of the criteria to consider when you find yourself in a negotiating situation. \nWhat are the ‘elements’ to consider in negotiating? What are the fundamentals or ‘basics’ of negotiating? How does the role of a ‘relationship’ affect the negotiation? How important is it to ‘ask’ questions during the negotiation? \nWho should attend: \n\nLeaders who would like to improve their understanding of the negotiation process\nTechnical personnel interested in learning how to be comfortable with negotiating\nAspiring hiring managers seeking new ideas to enhance their overall performance\n\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n  \nFrank Rodriguez\, Jr. is a business development/sales entrepreneur with the following experience: petroleum geologist\, natural gas marketer\, energy broker\, upstream technical recruiting\, and upstream technical sales. Frank’s negotiated deals on behalf of energy service companies (marketing\, upstream technical consulting/technology) to oil & gas operators\, from majors to small independents. Frank’s current clients include DeepCast.ai (Field/Rate Transient Analysis: Physics-AI)\, Kingsfield Services (completion chemicals)\, and CK Polymers (drilling/production chemicals).

SUMMARY:FACC-NY Webinar: Managing Team Dynamics in a Time of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:DISCUSSION\nProfessionals around the globe are all massively transforming the way that they work together as we move to hermetic workspaces in our homes during lockdown and measures to maintain social distance.  Interestingly\, all of the research on virtual and geographically distributed teams has centered on closing the ‘social distance’ gap by virtual means.  This is the time for us to think about what it means for our working days\, work habits\, and new lessons from COVID-19.https://www.faccnyc.org/civicrm/event/info?id=211 \nWhether during a pandemic or in other periods\, have you ever noticed that working in teams does not always go as projected\, often due to questions of diversity? Have you already perceived the underlying complexity and challenges of teams you are a member of or teams you are managing? Have you ever wondered why a ‘no’ doesn’t mean ‘no’\, and a ‘yes’ does not mean ‘yes’?  Have you found yourself feeling frustrated with professional situations that occur frequently with colleagues or partners from other countries?  Finally\, do you have any examples to share or to examine as cases? \nWe’ll review the multiple aspects of migrating all of our work online\, how group diversity (cultural\, cognitive\, social) intersects with virtual work\, and how it may contribute to misunderstandings\, as well as excellent lessons in leadership.  In this workshop\, you’ll get to work on your own unique ‘Cultural Profile’ to determine your working preferences\, and then we’ll review some of the major dimensions of culture relevant to teams and their managers to see where you stand. Finally\, we’ll work interactively on culture-specific critical incidents to find creative solutions to interpreting and reacting to our diverse\, international\, and interesting work environments. \nMEET THE SPEAKER\nMichelle Mielly is an American development anthropologist and interculturalist\, active in international education. Her work in West Africa\, Central America\, and Europe has consistently focused on issues linked to identity\, diversity\, and community and explores how identity intersects with different organizational and cultural environments. Her research includes work on organizational diversity\, migration\, self-initiated expatriates\, nomadic entrepreneurs\, foreignness and strangeness in organizations\, and gender-related questions of leadership & professional mobility. \nMichelle is currently serving as Interim Director of Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM)’s Doctoral School and has served since 2013 as academic director for the Switzerland program\, the USA program\, and the India program. She is also responsible for the development of the Doctoral School’s presence in the United States and the upcoming opening of a part-time doctorate in management on Pace University campus. \nIn addition\, she works closely with a number of start-ups and SMEs to coach their leaders and teams through integration processes in M&A contexts. Her teaching includes courses on Intercultural Management\, International HRM\, Business Ethics\, International Negotiation\, Research Methods\, Global Work & Distributed Business Teams\, Western Intellectual History\, and Leadership. Michelle holds degrees from Southwestern University (B.A. Hons 1989)\, Université de Grenoble (Maitrîse1991)\, Pennsylvania State University (M.A.)\, and Harvard University(Ph.D.) \nREGISTER NOW
