Too many presenters focus on how their presentation is going to LOOK, and not enough to how it SOUNDS.

Can you blow people’s minds with just the words you say? It turns out that presenters can learn a lot from songwriters.

Songwriters create beautiful music using writing techniques to ensure that what they create sounds great, long before they think about creating the music video or stage lighting.

This is exactly how we should approach presentation writing, words first, visuals last.

In this session, Glenn Gibson (LinkedIn profile) will explore this correlation and show you how to put slides in their proper place.

Glen will take a deep dive into:

• Structure – How to apply a repeatable award-winning structure to your presentations
• Melody – How to write a “chorus” for your presentation, and apply analogies and stories to hook the ear of your listener
• Lyrics – How to refine your words to ensure your performance is flawless

Thankfully, both the ethical and practical value of DE&I has become more widely recognized.

But the extent to which an organization is fundamentally and culturally receptive to DE&I improvement is less often explored and less frequently addressed.

In this highly interactive webinar, award-winning author, CEO, and repeat Training Magazine presenter Ed Muzio (LinkedIn profile) will explore two aspects of management culture that directly impact the organization’s ability to realize results from DE&I programing.

1. First is the question of environmental receptivity:
   • Is the organization in the habit of routinely gathering people of different backgrounds, needs, and agendas?
   • Do regular management and team meetings make a concerted effort to equitably assess and value all contributions?
   • Does leadership and senior management model transparent and fair decision-making even for difficult issues or unpopular tradeoffs?
2. Second is the question of behavioral flexibility:
   • Does the culture allow members to intelligently contemplate and adopt novel behaviors of any kind?
   • Is new information met with interest, or resistance?
   • Is decision-making nuanced, or do simple ‘either/or’ type arguments dominate the discussion?

In this webina Ed will present a framework for thinking about, and answering, questions like these.

He’ll explore insight into and share language for thinking about how DE&I friendly the broader organizational culture may be, and what the Training or L&D function can do to make it friendlier.

The 21st-century workforce is unique; people have endless options for learning in the ways that best meet their needs. Yet many of the design and development models in L&D seem dated.

In this active session, we will explore how Design Thinking is a mindset as well as a method for generating innovative solutions.

You will have an opportunity to participate in a Design Thinking cycle to see how this approach can stimulate ideas for creative, human-centered solutions that fit the modern workplace.

In this session you will learn to:

• Apply the phases of Design Thinking
• Interview learners to better understand their perspective
• Practice idea generation techniques
• Explore creating and testing low-fidelity prototypes

It’s easy to say “thank you” for a job well done, right?
Doesn’t showing appreciation come naturally, especially to leaders?

Not necessarily. While most leaders (and peers) want to recognize great work when it happens, so many things can go wrong.

Not everyone knows why recognition is important, when to give recognition, or the best way to do it.

In fact, there are plenty of horror stories of recognition and appreciation gone wrong. And there are common, preventable mistakes that led to each of these stories. Companies that avoid these mistakes can use recognition to appreciate and inspire their people and create a company culture where employees thrive.

Join Todd Nordstrom, (LinkedIn profile) Director at the O.C. Tanner Institute, as he shares some recognition horror stories and common mistakes that led to them.

You’ll walk away with best practices in employee recognition and connecting with your people.

Join us to learn:

• Common mistakes leaders and employees can avoid when giving recognition in the workplace
• Best practices for creating great recognition experiences
• How to use recognition to connect with your people and build a thriving workplace culture

Presenter: Todd Nordstrom is a weekly contributor to Forbes.com, Inc.com, Director for the O.C.

Feedback contributes to improvement, productive changes, effectiveness, clear direction, an open culture, and, ultimately, success. Yet 95% of managers are unhappy with their performance review/management system and 59% of employees polled said that performance reviews are not worth the time.

We are on a mission to change those perceptions!

Effective feedback is about support and improvement, and a high-energy, positive work environment sets a dynamic tone and culture for employees and retail customers alike.

Every step of the feedback process sends signals that the culture of your organization is changing, becoming more open and innovative.

Join Marjorie Mauldin (LinkedIn profile) and learn to:

1. Assess feedback skills and recognize the role of feedback in continual improvement
2. Create the appropriate attitude and approach for providing feedback
3. Check purposes for sharing feedback and What’s In It For Them (WIIFT)
4. Consider how cultural, gender, generational differences, and location affect the approach to giving feedback
5. Share feedback that is specific, observable, and increases the receiver’s receptiveness
6. Close the feedback exchange with a shared understanding of the next steps for improvement
