Happy April, Faculty

TMBC Faculty Newsletter – Issue 31

This newsletter continues to serve as your one-stop-shop for important dates, updates and announcements.

THE HEADLINES

Spring is finally here! It’s ideally the start of the post-winter thaw, flowers starting to emerge… and it also signals the last fiscal quarter at ADP. Right now, my mind is on the end of the fiscal year, running down the home stretch to a successful finish, getting ready for our next fiscal year and things like that. But it is also a time of lighter evenings, comfortable weather for dog-walking, and a re-awakening of the world from its hibernation.

This juxtaposition of beginning and ending happens every year, and the Stimulators on my team may look at the combination as a way to always be heading to the finish line with an extra burst of energy, ready to rev up for what’s to come. The universe handing us a little cup of Gatorade for that last sprint.

As our clients face their own endings and beginnings during these times of continued economic uncertainty, your unwavering support is so appreciated. Helping clients stay in touch with who they are at their most radiantly alive even during the harshest times is a gift you share with the world. I hope you are surrounded by people and passions that do the same for you.

For now, may your April showers bring many May flowers!

Level Up: Conversations in Release 5.27 (May 13)

Great conversations are the foundation for great work, and they’re at the heart of what drives meaning, clarity and purpose on teams. We’re introducing a brand new area of Standout which we’ve designed to be a connection hub for all team members to have richer, more effective one-on-one discussions with each other.  We’re calling this new feature Conversations.
Faculty, Conversations will support the platform clients you may be supporting to have meaningful conversations with their people through a strengths-based lens to help drive engagement and performance.
Please click on the video above to learn more about this latest StandOut Platform feature.

REMINDERS and UPDATES

ADP Sales Leader Coaching Faculty: Congratulations and huge kudos to you for successfully supporting the initial Cohort of Sales Leaders this Winter. Because of the measurable impact and tangible results you achieved, we were asked by our ADP Client Sponsors to launch another Cohort of 1:1 Strengths-Based Coaching last month. Thank you Coaches for your tireless contribution to bringing strengths to these leaders and for helping them to achieve their organization’s key outcomes.

We are excited to launch our first StandOut Strengths Coaching Mentor Coach certification on Tuesday, April 25th, 2023. This certification will be supported by our SSC Mentor Coach Certification course which will be located on StandOut Now. Our future SSC Mentor Coaches will be following a 6-week journey in the learning hub throughout their certification. They will also get to experience the SSC Learning Hub journey that their future SSC Mentees will be going through starting in July 2023.
