3. Do learners feel your ideas are practical?
4. Does your audience feel you are socially approachable?

Your skills and knowledge in these areas can make or break your presentations or webinars.

In this session, you will learn:

• Learn what habits and attributes you may have that make you less persuasive
• Review your total delivery package to see if they build respect, credibility, sincerity and enthusiasm
• Assess how you use your personal assets in persuading your audience and leaders
  • Does your voice reflect your positive views?
  • Does your body movement, whether video or not, show energy?
  • Does your facial expression demonstration conviction?
  • Do your slides and interactions create coherence?
  • Do you send signals that you are competent and reliable?
  • Do you ask questions that trigger thinking or reflection?
  • Do you move learners from being passive to becoming active learners?

In this webinar Joseph Provenza (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Senior Director Analyst  explores how you can accelerate your digital journey during disruptive times.

The UK Department for Transport (DfT) asked Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) to manage a project to consider how Network Rail can best ensure the safety of our railways, while also protecting wildlife and preserving trees………”.

This follows concerns about the impact that tree felling, considered necessary for the safe operation and performance of the railway, was having on nesting bird populations.

This session is intended to demonstrate how a wide range of stakeholders with apparent competing dilemmas can work effectively together to agree what steps need to be taken to value the trees and wildlife habitats along our railway.

The presentations will close with a summary about the importance of stakeholder engagement and the floor opened to the audience for questions.

Presenters:

Dr Neil Strong, (LinkedIn profile) Biodiversity Strategy Manager, Network Rail, will talk about how they have implemented the recommendations and how they continue to do so in the context of Network Rail’s Environmental Sustainability Strategy.

John Varley OBE TD, Independent Chair of this “Varley Review”, and Estates Director of Clinton Devon Estates was appointed to deliver this work, which was project managed by RSSB. He will give you an insight into how he approached the challenge set for him.
