If you’re in the training business, you’re in the business of behavior change. And, wow, it’s really difficult. We are all, literally, creatures of habit. Our role in helping people have the courage and discipline to change the way they act is significant and tricky.

You undoubtedly know about the power of habit building (and if not, you should). But we’ve all had the experience of trying to build good habits … and for all our best intent, having them nonetheless wither on the vine.

The step before habit building is understanding the difference between Easy Change and Hard Change. Until you do that, you and your clients will perpetually struggle to make the changes that matter most.

In Michael’s latest practical, fun & interactive session you will learn:

1. The difference between Easy Change and Hard Change … and why it matters
2. Why the direct approach to Hard Change rarely works
3. The foundational coaching question that lies at the heart of Hard Change

Nowadays, agile is a very trendy topic, and there are over a hundred certifications and thousands of courses teaching you how to be Agile, usually by learning a framework.

Like any other skill or expertise, mastering Agile requires more than a course and the guide upon which it is generally based. Scrum, the most used Agile framework, is described by its authors as “lightweight, simple to understand but difficult to master,” and any practitioner with more than a couple of years in the Agile trenches knows that is neither simple nor easy.

This webinar is a collection of real life situations where traditional teams moved to Agile frameworks.

The webinar is an analysis of the human aspect of transitioning to a new way of working in parallel with learning new technologies, products, and programming languages while last but not least having the management pressure to deliver.

The quick pivot to remote working left many organizations unprepared. Faced with the task of managing a newly scattered workforce, companies may have back-pedalled on valuable new talent management strategies in favor of simple triage.

But for employees, the shift threw routines into chaos, blurred the lines between work and life, and brought not only frustration, but a sense of detachment. What’s missing for many are recognition and rewards.

Providing frequent moments of recognition by leaders, managers, team leaders and peers is a powerful way to rebuild the workplace connections lost in the shuffle. The right rewards can bring cheer and solve the practical problems of life today as well.

Join Meghan M. Biro (LinkedIn profile) for this fast-paced discussion on the best ways to craft a recognition and rewards program that unites and engages a remote workforce.

Meghan will uncover the new dynamic of remote working, and make clear how a recognition and rewards program meets the primary need for more contact, more communication, more connection, and more alignment — all at once.

1. How to craft a rewards and recognition program that responds to the needs of the remote workforce.
2. How to best leverage the “glued to our phones” nature of working remotely now.
3. Why remote employees need increased frequency when it comes to recognition.
4. The power of newsfeeds and social sharing in driving a cycle of recognition.
5. How to turn moments of rewards and recognition into a fluid cycle that involves everyone.
6. How to measure the effectiveness of remote rewards and recognition, and leverage data to improve.
7. How to make sure your recognition program addresses the four key factors of effectiveness.

Job interviews for both the employer and the hiring candidate can be a stressful and time-consuming activity.

A recent  CareerBuilder Durvey reported that three out of four employers stated that they had hired the wrong person for a position.

This wrong hire comes with a cost. On average, companies spend $14,900.00 annually for every mismatched hire.

In this webinar Lynette Reed will discuss the essential two areas of proficiency to consider when looking at career changes and hiring protocol. The first part of the discussion talks about technical skills assessment.

This discussion includes current research and possible ways to enhance the hiring process. The second area, which will be the emphasis of the webinar, is on soft skills. Soft skills are especially relevant to our changing times.

These are the behavioral aspects of the job. Soft skills include communication, critical thinking skills, and personality fit. If time permits, participants will be encouraged to share in the discussion.

Presenter: Dr. Lynette Reed (LinkedIn profile) is a writer, researcher and advisor for personal and organizational development. . Lynette has mentored people and has has taught courses on team building, leadership, ethics, world religion and world cultures. The author of, Fixing the Problem: Making changes in how you deal with challenges , as well as book contributions, articles, guest radio appearances and a series of children’s books; she is also a co-founder and board member of the Institute for Soul-Centered Leadership at Seton Cove.
