Following on from Charlotte’s previous webinar with us we dive deeper into some of the insights it is possible to gather, as well as focusing on why this is so important to clients. The points we will cover will include:

Why clients commission insight (what they are interested in)

Talking about / selling insight to clients

How clients use insight

Presenting insight reports to clients, and how to present to different stakeholders

Incorporated into this, Charlotte will also touch on how the pandemic has affected gathering primary research, GDPR refresh, data analysis and changing mindset for search to insight.

There will be time for Q&A

ERA Webinar with Carolyn Howitt

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

Work Motivators for Research Staff in Executive Search

This one-hour workshop aims to:

– Reveal your key work motivators

– Assess whether your current role is providing these adequately

– Examine career pathways within search to see how well they fit your motivators

– Look at some case studies of people who have left search in order to find motivation elsewhere.

Session plan

1. Group discussion of and agreement to confidentiality within the session.

2. Fill in the John Lees ‘3-Minute Career Motivation Checklist’ (either before the session or in the first few minutes). Type our top three motivations as numbers into the group chat.

3. Look in detail at Carolyn’s Motivations results as a case study. Apply the findings to analysing our own responses, and notice any patterns as a group.

4. Reassess our checklists according to our current role (if time, discuss in pairs in a breakout room).

5. Look at the most common career pathways within search and think about how these meet certain motivators, using real examples from (anonymous) senior people in the industry.

6. Look at how two very different people have successfully left search in order to find work that reflects their motivations more accurately.
