Presented by:  Training Magazine
Duration: 1 Hour 1  Category C  PDU – Free PDU

An organization’s culture is a set of precedents, approaches that have worked in the past that get applied to the present.

Culture is dynamic, and it influences everything else about the workplace:

  • Perceptions,
  • Decisions,
  • Output, and
  • Stress levels.

Though it often feels like an immutable force, in reality it is nothing more than a set of behavioral patterns that has perpetuated over time throughout the human network of the workplace.

It can be changed…through training!

In anticipation of his “mini-sims” presentation at the 2016 Training Magazine conference, author and CEO Ed Muzio will show you how he uses training to do the impossible: create culture change.

Ed’s mantra is “More Output, Less Stress.” You’ll experience one of his mini-sims in a virtual format, and you’ll see how a tiny little exercise can be leveraged to a systematic behavioral change. I

n the process you’ll have a little fun, and get a glimpse into how a little experience can go a long, long way.

Presenter:  Ed Muzio (LinkedIn profile) CEO of Group Harmonics and author of the award winning books Four Secrets to Liking Your Work and Make Work Great: Super Charge Your Team, Reinvent the Culture, and Gain Influence One Person at a Time.  A leader in the application of analytical models to organizational effectiveness, Ed has been featured in international media and servos as an  adviser/educator to executives worldwide.

Built on 30 years of research, coaching, and facilitation, Dr. Roger Pearman, (LinkedIn profile) Founder of Leadership Performance Systems and Qualifying.org, presents a new perspective on the measurement and application of personality type, and the linkage of the use of psychological resources with flexibility for effectiveness.

Individuals respond to what they experience as Natural and what they Demonstrate as the use of various behaviors that are expressions of eight mental resources.

Equally vital in identifying aspects of personality is the recognition of the role and development of greater flexibility within and across the use of these mental resources.

During this webinar, Dr. Roger Pearman (speaker) will provide easy-to-understand insights on:

  1. New ways to measure personality patterns
  2. Accessing a whole picture of available mental resources for adaptation
