How much time do we waste thinking about, avoiding, or worrying about having a hard conversation and what does that do to your productivity?  To your work relationships?

You can have a “silent” conversation rattle around in your head for months if you avoid “it.”  Or IF the hard conversation you had goes poorly, you can have the ‘I should have said this” conversation in your head. What if you learned how to have powerful conversations that led to better outcomes and stronger relationships?

In the 1st part of this webinar, Dana Bernstein (LinkedIn profile)  will explore IF a conversation is needed, how to speak from a position of power, and delineate the types of conversations so you can better manage your emotions.  We recommend listening to Dana’s Conflict Resolution webinar so you have a foundation before launching into this discussion.

• You will learn how to figure out why some things bother you, but roll off others’ backs
• You will be better able to take control of the story you created around the “what happened” so you can actively manage outcomes
• You will understand the types of conversations there are. By breaking it into an algorithm, you can better manage the pieces

Step into the future of learning with our special session on XR (Extended Reality) and spatial computing in 2024.

This new year is poised to be a breakout year with a new wave of reality-bending headsets and simulations that unleash a wave of experiential and visceral learning.

Dr. Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D. (LinkedIn profile), President of the Gronstedt Group will showcase how:

• The U.S. Navy is piloting VR training at the point of need, even while aboard ships
• Leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Bristol Myers Squibb onboard lab techs at scale in real-time rendered cleanrooms
• Daikin demonstrates its HVAC products in action on a virtual rooftop
• Unions recruit the next generation painters in a virtual construction site
• The new headsets from Meta and Apple seamlessly blur the lines between the digital and physical worlds

Watch the hyper-realistic 3D rehearsal studios that provide intense, deliberate practice at the edge of users’ comfort zones and feedback loops to hone skills. Students and instructors can collaborate on tasks, working shoulder-to-shoulder, just like in real life, learning with and from each other in the flow of work.

The real-life cases and demos will inspire insights as you consider integrating metaverse learning to reduce training costs, improve job performance, and boost engagement in your organization.

Anders explores how students can move seamlessly from the workplace to a pixelated practice space where they can build muscle memory and mastery, in the presence of peers, mentors and experts.

Learn how industry leaders pilot ambitious VR solutions to strategic challenges and have a serious budget commitment to scale VR across the enterprise from the outset.
