The times they are a changing (as the song goes)…and so are some leadership development trends and best practices in response to tremendous challenges in the last year.

Sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic, spending on leadership development decreased as many organizations diverted funds to convert in-person training to virtual learning, Training magazine’s 2021 Annual Leadership Development Survey Report found.

Social justice concerns helped to vault Diversity and Inclusion from 12th to third on the list of highest-ranked priority skills.

For the fifth year, Training magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide teamed up to conduct the Annual Leadership Survey, which focuses on what organizations are doing to create effective leaders.

Join Lorri Freifeld, (LinkedIn profile) Editor-in-Chief of Training magazine, and Dr. Michael Leimbach, (LinkedIn profile) VP of Global Research and Development for the results of this survey.

The struggles of this past year, point out the fragility of leadership development in many organizations, as well as the incredible importance and strength of leadership development in others.

Lorri & Michael will reveal takeaways from this in-depth look at leadership development and explore ways organizations can leverage today’s challenges to develop stronger leaders for tomorrow.

Join Lorri & Michael where they will explore:

• The pandemic’s impact on leadership development
• Priority leadership skills
• Steps to strengthen leadership development efforts for greater impact

Many companies are now at a critical juncture when it comes to talent development and skill building, and it is clear that dramatic changes are needed to thrive and/or even survive in the future.

To emerge stronger from this pandemic, now is the time for organizations to invest in skill transformations and apply the lessons of the past year to crystallize their current and future skill needs.

Organizations must take a holistic approach to skill transformations and focus on key initiatives and practices that we know support success; there are no shortcuts to take. And when they do so, they should not fall into the trap of focusing only on “hard” technological skills or digital only channels for learning.

The pandemic, and Numly’s research, has shown how critical skills and resilience really require different ways of learning to be cultivated.

Madhukar Govindaraju (LinkedIn profile) Founder & CEO, Numly, will discuss how companies can invent the Perfect Trifecta with Peer Coaching and AI – Employee Experience | Employee Engagement | Employee Effectiveness.

If you are looking to Unleash Greater Performance within your Remote / WFH / Hybrid Teams, this session is a must-attend.

There is a huge rise in the technical capability and infrastructure and technology (I&T) talent outside of formal IT departments.

Untamed and untapped, this can lead to a surge in uncontrolled technical sprawl. However, the CIOs who are able to provide leadership, direction and structure for this growing talent pool can use it to enhance organizational engagement, reduce risk and increase enterprise value.

In this webinar  Darren Topham, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst will help IT leaders gain the benefits of an underutilized secret weapon.

Discussion Topics:

• Why business-led IT is the CIO’s secret weapon
• How to exert control over non-formal IT technical capabilities and I&T talent
• Enhance organizational engagement, reduce risk and increase enterprise value

Because we all deserve a do-over

If you are a golfer, your favorite word is “mulligan.” That’s when you hit a dreadful shot, usually into a forest or a lake, and you drop a second ball at your feet and essentially proclaim, “that one didn’t count.” You then hit again and go on your merry way, a happier camper for it.

In PowerPoint parlance, our mulligan is the makeover – that fantastic and fantastical opportunity to press Pause and create an alternate reality. That horrible slide with eight long-winded bullets and a postage-stamp photo? No, you didn’t mean to do that. It doesn’t count. You get a do-over. Mulligan!

Makeovers are the most popular of all seminars offered at the Presentation Summit, the annual conference for the industry.

But what exactly is a makeover?

Is it just the prettying up of a bad slide? In fact, there are many forms of PowerPoint mulligans, and they all might be on display during this hour:

1. Message: 
   • Well-intended content creators often lose sight of the story they mean to tell.
2. Structure: 
   • If the foundation of your presentation is flawed (like trying to crate slides that serve both as visuals and as handouts), you will be swimming upstream the whole time.
3. Slide design:
   • The classic case of “who created this sludge and how can we fix it?”
4. PowerPoint technique:
   • Most users of the software are undertrained and rarely go below the surface of PowerPoint’s feature set. That can have a profound effect on how they build their slides and deliver their presentations.
5. Delivery: 
   • A well-designed presentation both relies on and encourages presenters to be at the top of their games.

If you have slides that need a mulligan, send them to Rick – he might make them over during this hour. That would be a $1,500 design session that you would get for free.  Upload slides here.

Yes, many agree that lecturing in webinars can quickly become boring and kills learning.

• But what could be a better alternative?
• More teasers and warm-ups?
• Additional break-out sessions?
• How about more exercises and activities?

All of the aforementioned techniques are palliatives. They do not change the core problems of lecturing in webinars. The key problem is that we keep “telling” participants instead of helping them reflect and apply ideas.

In this webinar, Ray will share examples and templates that will help you to strategize for your webinars — veering away from lecturing to encouraging reflections.

Topics to cover:

• You lecture in face-to-face events, hence, you naturally do the same thing in webinars.  Why? How do you break this habit?
• How should you break down your content and translate it into reflections?
• How do you use the combination of pre and post engagements to break loose from dumping too much content into a one-hour webinar?
• What are the 7 critical habits to change in webinar preparation and delivery?
• Observe, watch, and experience how Ray delivers “No-lecture webinars”.

“This is a webinar where I show you how I walk my talk. I will show you how to stop lecturing in webinars” – Ray
