Positive outcomes don’t happen by accident—they happen because of leadership. As a leader, when you accept the concept of “it’s always the leader,” you assume responsibility.

Join leadership experts Ken and Scott Blanchard as they share six enduring principles of leadership and how to adapt them for the challenges of the 21st century.

In the first half of this special presentation, bestselling business author Ken  will share three foundational mindsets all great leaders possess. These mindsets are at the core of Blanchard’s teachings over the past 50 years.

• Leadership is a partnership: The best leaders partner with people for their highest development. Leadership is not something you do to people, it’s something you do with people.
• A good leader catches people doing things right: Good leaders focus less on evaluating, judging, and correcting the performance of others and focus more on the power of positive reinforcement.
• Leadership is love: This seemingly radical notion is a common denominator in everything Blanchard has taught over the years. Leaders are servants who love their people and bring out their best.

In the second half of the presentation, company president Scott  will share how, when he became president in 2020, he inherited a company built on Ken’s three principles. Then a global pandemic hit. Scott will detail how he adapted these fundamental concepts to the rigors of both the pandemic and post-pandemic age.

• Leaders must have their people’s backs: People can sense when their leader isn’t there for them. Your people must know they can count on you to be forthright and fair, no matter what. You can’t be an effective leader if your people don’t trust you.
• Leaders must adapt to, and develop, rapport with people—not the other way around: Leaders need to shift from judging direct reports to investigating what’s behind less than acceptable behavior. Your role is to develop rapport and clear the way for your people to be exceptional.
• Learning as a leader is never over. Leadership is a journey, not a destination. As a leader, you must grow and change to meet the needs of the present and future.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore these six timeless principles of leadership and how they can be used by you—and other leaders in your organization—to build out your individual leadership journey and inspire the highest level of achievement in others.

Microlearning is designed to meet a specific learning outcome, but how can you know that your design will be effective?

One aspect to consider is the cognitive load required to process the information and activities you design.

That’s because information overload is a significant hindrance to effective learning and retention. Fortunately, we can do something about it. Over the decades, cognitive load theory has been researched and refined.

This interactive session demonstrates ways that learning designers can reduce high cognitive load during individualized and collaborative learning.

In this session, Connie will explore:

• A model of how people learn
• Different types of cognitive load
• Causes of high cognitive load
• Practical instructional strategies you can use to reduce high cognitive load
• How cognitive load affects collaborative learning

Presenter: Connie Malamed (LinkedIn profile) helps people learn and improve their instructional design skills so they can gain confidence and proficiency in this field. She has helped hundreds of people gain competence in instructional esign and I’d love to help you. Connie had her own ID business for 20 years, wrote two books on visual design, publish The eLearning Coach website and podcast, and was honored with the Guild Master award for contributions to the industry.
