Now in the Classroom: Beyond the Title™: Fraternal Development Series We began the series last night with a conversation about influence. I’m bringing the key points and growth work into The Collective Community so you can learn and participate along with us. The series focuses on developing ourselves, preparing others, and strengthening the lodges and chapters we serve. The principles apply to anyone who wants to become more intentional about how they lead and contribute. Session 1: The Value and Impact of Influence is ready. Review the summary, then put it into practice through two commitments: learn from someone and add value to someone. Visit the Classroom, open Beyond the Title™: Fraternal Development Series, and get started. An office is not required. A willingness to grow is.

For years, multitasking was considered a valuable professional skill. The ability to answer an email, participate in a meeting, respond to a message, and manage another assignment at the same time was treated as evidence of productivity. We admired people who could keep several plates spinning without allowing one to fall. Are they actually accomplishing more? Have we confused divided attention with increased ability? What are your thoughts about professionals that depend on multitasking? Do you share the same opinion for leadership doing the same? Read this week's issue of The Collective to gain another perspective on multitasking. If you are not subscribed 😲 Here’s your chance: https://forms.gle/x5CuhcZJ1UF5nBUd8
