Projects, by nature, are a unique endeavor that often result in a change of some kind. In addition, our work environments are constantly changing.

When the changes are not introduced or handled well, people will resist, making the change more disruptive than it needs to be. If this resistance is not managed properly, it can undermine project or operational success.

This session discusses people’s reactions to change and how to navigate and manage those changes well. It also includes a one-page handout for easy reference after the session.

After this session, you will be able to:

  • Identify the reactions to change, including four levels of resistance and the time, influence, and support associated with each level of resistance.
  • Understand what motivates people to accept the change (or not) and become a powerful proponent for it.
  • Develop strategies to overcome each level of resistance so you (and your organization) can survive and thrive!

The time is up. Our approach to enterprise comms needs a radical overhaul if, as communications and HR leaders, we truly want to stem the Great Resignation.

Employees are being overwhelmed with communication from across the organization, leading to noise and information overload, which in turn is creating tuned-out, disconnected staff.

The extent of that dangerous disconnect, that failure of communication, has been highlighted by McKinsey in the context of the great employee exodus.

Join communications expert Joanna Hall (LinkedIn profile) Communication Consultant at AFIRE Consulting to hear about enterprise communications that clearly aren’t working for the people that matter most, employees.

Joanna will:

  • Define the disconnect between leaders and employees and its detrimental effect on staff retention
  • Explain how enterprise comms sits at the heart of the problem, what has to be done about it and who needs to take the lead in tackling it
  • Share 8 steps for successful enterprise-wide communication

There comes a point in learning experiences when merely presenting content no longer works. It is like a nail that is blunted at the endpoint. No matter how much you hammer, it does not penetrate the surface. In effect, learning results in diminishing returns.

But don’t despair. Designers, trainers, and coaches have another tool in their arsenal. Voila! These are the thinking tools and exercises. There is nothing complicated about them. In a nutshell, they are simply activities that help learners wrap their minds around the content you are teaching. The thinking tools and exercises aid learners to ask questions and find answers. They challenge the learners to interpret the content in their own context.

In this webinar, Ray will share his library of 25 Thinking Tools and Exercises. He has used these tools with verifiable results.

Topics to cover:

  • What do you do when content presentations no longer engage learners?
  • What do you do when learners are unable to apply ideas and fail to connect ideas to their real work situations?
  • What are Thinking Tools?
  • Why are they valuable to get results in learning?
  • What are three must-do thinking processes to help learners improve learning experiences?
  • Cases and examples on when and how to use Thinking Tools:
    • Troubleshooting
    • Consequence Thinking
    • 80/20 Rule
    • Trial and error
    • Metrics
    • Diagraming
    • Brainstorming
  • How to apply Thinking Tools in compliance, sales, leadership, coaching, and other topic areas.
