Project environments are complex and unique for every project. Project environment and interpersonal context drive performance as much as, if not more than, clearly defined project scope, objectives, and budget.

Project managers often have no direct authority over project team members or input into performance reviews. Project team members take direction from multiple project managers and line managers at the same time, and work on multiple projects concurrently, creating overload, unclear priorities, and stress.

Because leadership plays a crucial role in determining whether a project will be successful or not, it is imperative that project managers possess the skills necessary to guide and inspire their teams. This includes recognizing and diffusing the negative effects of toxic behavior.

Toxic behavior is often subtle, inevitable on certain types of projects, can be prolonged, and ‘spread’ across the organization to a point of ‘cultural toxicity’. \

Recognizing and diffusing toxic behavior by practicing techniques grounded in acknowledgment, gratitude, and appreciation can help you run projects more successfully and foster a healthier workplace.

Upon completion of this webinar, the participants will be able to:

  • Toxic behavior and its impact on a project and within an organization
  • Role of and techniques in engaging team members
  • Recognizing toxic handlers
  • Identifying toxic behavior in organizations
  • Techniques and practices to diffuse toxic behavior
  • Legal considerations
  • Providing feedback and the Power of Acknowledgment
  • The Cycle of Grateful Leadership for managing project team members

This webinar is presented in partnership with the Center for Grateful Leadership (CGL) a division of International Institute for Learning (IIL).

Organizations today are placing greater emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategies, yet many still face challenges in implementing and advancing these initiatives.

While progress has been made, it’s clear that there’s more work to be done. It’s important to understand that increasing diversity alone doesn’t automatically lead to inclusion, equity, or improved business outcomes. To truly succeed in the realm of DEI, employers must make a concerted effort to cultivate an inclusive culture that actively supports and invests in the success, development, and growth of their employees.

This imperative is even more pronounced in the wake of the “Great Resignation” and the highly competitive job market.

A striking 89% of both current and potential employees emphasize the importance of DEI, with 56% expressing a greater willingness to work for organizations that actively promote it. Therefore, it is increasingly evident that a diverse and inclusive workplace is not just a nice-to-have but a critical factor for attracting and retaining talent, ultimately determining an organization’s success in 2022 and beyond.

Roselle Rogers (LinkedIn profile) Former Vice President, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Circa, will delve into actionable steps to examine, operationalize, and integrate DEI into organizational practices, focusing on four key pillars: talent acquisition, performance management, compensation practices, and learning and development.

During this discussion, Roselle will address barriers and biases that may be present in each of these areas, highlighting how unintentional bias can creep into the systems and people practices that underpin organizations.

Furthermore, practical measures to standardize and incorporate equity and inclusion into policies, practices, and systems will be explored

Key Takeaways:

  • Organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) but struggle to put these strategies into action and mature their initiatives.
  • Merely increasing representation is insufficient to create a truly inclusive and equitable workplace; building an inclusive culture that invests in employees’ success and development is essential.
  • In the current competitive job market, 89% of current and prospective employees prioritize DEI, and 56% are more likely to work for organizations that promote it, making a diverse and inclusive workplace crucial for hiring, retention, and success in 2022 and beyond

“Experience Learning” is another “hype” term that designers (and leaders) may add to their arsenal of “engagement tools.” The hope is to excite learners so they study the content.

Unfortunately, this is far from the intent of the Learning Experience Method. Instead, the focus is to be on how to help learners to learn from real-work problems and issues, solving, fixing, and improving them. Then sharing their experiences and new knowledge.

Experience Learning is authentic deep learning by discovery, trial and error, and insights.

Learn the following:

  • Differentiate Experience Learning from instructions, memorization, drill and practice, and games.
  • Discover Failures of Experience Learning and how to prevent them.
  • Plan for Experience Learning: finding the environment, the business drivers, and the impact areas.
  • Understanding the building blocks of Experience Learning.
  • Find the right mixture of platforms and tools for Experience Learning.
  • Measure Experience Learning contributions.
  • Discuss three case studies.
