PROVIDING CLASSES ON A VARIETY OF TECHNICAL AND BUSINESS APPLICATIONS * WHY IT MATTERS SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT COMMUNICATION AND SUCCESSFUL WORKING AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS MOST PEOPLE DON’T FEEL HEARD OFTEN, PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THEY NEVER GET THEIR IDEAS FOSTERED, ORIGINALITY CREDITED, “CAN-DO” ATTITUDE PRAISED, OR CONTRIBUTIONS ACKNOWLEDGED. INSTEAD, THEY THINK THAT INTRACTABLE AND LAZY PEOPLE GET ALL OF THE ATTENTION. AND 80% OF THE TIME, THEY’RE CORRECT. THERE’S NO ONE “RIGHT” WAY TO COMMUNICATE SOME PEOPLE GRAVITATE TO FORMAL JARGON; OTHERS REJECT CERTAIN PHRASES FOR FEAR OF BETRAYING THEIR ESSENTIAL SELVES. WHILE STANDARD ENGLISH IS THE BENCHMARK IN PROFESSIONAL SETTINGS AND THE ACADEMY, OUR DIALECTS, SLANGS AND COLLOQUIALISMS PROVIDE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPRESS OUR INDIVIDUALITY. REMEMBER, “APPROPRIATE” LANGUAGE IS SITUATIONALLY AND CULTURALLY ADAPTABLE AND ALWAYS IN FLUX . MOTIVATION, INFLUENCE AND TRUST FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS OF INDIRECT COMMUNICATION WE OFTEN FEEL ILL-EQUIPPED TO COMMUNICATE WHAT WE REALLY THINK. AT TIMES, ALL COMMUNICATION SEEMS LIKE ONE BIG CHARADE. WE’VE ALL SHARED ROOMS WITH UNACKNOWLEDGED ELEPHANTS AND AVOIDED CONVERSATIONS. WHILE COLLABORATING WITH PEOPLE ENTAILS SUPPRESSING SOME OF OUR MOST IMMEDIATE IMPULSES, THERE IS ALWAYS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR HARD TRUTH. METRICS AREN’T EVERYTHING--AND WE NATURALLY OVERVALUE CERTAIN DATA POINTS COMPENSATION AND GRADES DO NOT SOLELY DICTATE OUR WORTH, NOR SHOULD THEY SERVE SOLE MOTIVATORS TO WORK HARD AND SUCCEED. WHILE METRICS SERVE AS OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE TO SHOW US WHICH WAY THE NEEDLE MOVES, OTHER COMPELLING, LESS TANGIBLE, INDICATORS EXIST. IF WE DON’T LOOK AT THEM, WE DON’T SEE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF PROGRESS. ENGAGING OUR CLIENTS, STUDENTS AND CUSTOMERS IS NOT "VALUE-ADDED"—IT’S A MANDATE WE GUESS WAY MORE THAN WE ASK PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED. WHEN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW WHAT THEY DO DIRECTLY RELATES TO A LARGER MISSION, THEY BECOME MORE INVESTED, OBSTACLE-AVERSE AND SOLUTION-FOCUSED. STRATEGIC, HOLISTIC, SUSTAINABLE AND INNOVATION ARE CURRENT BUZZWORDS THE REAL QUESTION ISN’T WHAT THEY MEAN, BUT HOW CAN THEY BE USEFULLY AND APPROPRIATELY APPLIED . WE, OURSELVES--AND NOBODY ELSE-DEFINE OUR DESTINIES IT’S NOT THE ROTE TASKS OR DIFFICULT PEOPLE THAT MAKE US FEEL TRAPPED—IT’S OUR INABILITY TO SEE BEYOND THEM THAT DOES. WE SPEND MORE TIME TRYING TO CONTROL THINGS WE CAN’T CONTROL THAN WE DO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN CONTROL. * WHO WE ARE JOHN MANCUSO, OWNER JOHN MANCUSO IS A SEASONED EDUCATOR AND WRITER.

THE RESULTS WERE SO OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE WE QUICKLY BROUGHT HIM BACK TO DISCUSS WITH THE VP-LEVEL STAFF HOW TO INSTITUTIONALIZE THE KEY METHODS AND IDEAS FROM HIS WORKSHOP. WE CONTINUE WORKING WITH HIM ON OTHER PROJECTS WITH EMPLOYEES FROM ALL LEVELS OF THE ORGANIZATION. -ADRIENNE IMBRIACO, VICE PRESIDENT, ADMINISTRATION AND STRATEGIC PROJECTS > > John Mancuso brought an unexpected note of compassion and warm humor to > > his workshops, which were also serious, strategic, and logical.

Very grateful to John! --Estee Pierce, Director of Prospect Management & Development Operations JOHN DID A LONG-RANGE, COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING WITH OUR GROUP. IT INVOLVED MULTIPLE AREAS OF COMMUNICATION, MOST NOTABLY THE BEST PRACTICES OF WRITING FOR THE THOUSANDS OF YEARLY REPORTS THAT ULTIMATELY AFFECT BUDGETING AND POLICY FOR NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY SERVICE. HE IMMEDIATELY WON EVEN THE MOST ENTRENCHED EMPLOYEES' TRUST AND RESPECT WITH HIS UNCANNY ABILITY TO REACH ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE. AND WITH THAT, CAME A SMALL TRANSFORMATION IN THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS. -LISA TAVARE, SUPERINTENDENT, RAIL CONTROL CENTER I took one of John's classes on Managing Performance at NYCT. I found it really useful and immediately put the lessons I'd learned into practice. At that time, our department was looking at ways to improve performance for all of its managers and John's teaching style and content were a perfect fit. We hired him as an internal consultant. He worked really closely with us to understand our needs and the personalities in the department and tailored the course to fit. The feedback from our managers was universally positive, even from those who weren't initially bought in to improve their skills. -Maeve Clements, Director, Operations Planning . JOHN RAN VERY ENGAGING AND COMPELLING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PEDAGOGICAL METHODOLOGY WORKSHOPS WHEN HE WAS MY SUPERVISOR AT THE ART INSTITUTE OF NEW YORK CITY. HE ALSO PUT HIS TRAINING INTO PRACTICE BY GALVANIZING AN EMBATTLED GROUP OF UNIONIZED FACULTY HE INHERITED. DURING HIS TENURE, THEY COLLABORATED ON THE CREATION OF TWO NEW ACADEMIC PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS THE COMPREHENSIVE INSTITUTIONAL SELF STUDIES AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED FOR THE COLLEGE'S RE-ACCREDITATION VISITS. WITHOUT HIS COMMITMENT TO FOSTERING AUTHENTIC, COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION, HE COULD HAVE NEVER PRODUCED THESE UNANTICIPATED RESULTS. -KATHRYN KELLER LARKINS, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, ART AND DESIGN > JOHN WAS A GIFTED ADDITION TO A UNIQUE TEAM OF EDUCATORS WHO PROMOTED > ACTIVE LEARNING THROUGH FACULTY DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
