Walt Disney was a creative genius, a master showman, and an amazing teacher who once firmly proclaimed, “The normal gap between what is generally regarded as ‘entertainment’ and what is defined ‘educational’ represents an old and untenable viewpoint.”

The entertainments Disney created were both informative and enjoyable—unlike many learning programs. When entertainment and learning are aligned, as Walt Disney would deliver them, the result is magical; participants pay attention, they absorb information, and they change behavior.

In this insightful and engaging presentation, 25 year Walt Disney World training leader Lenn Millbower shares the ways in which Walt’s entertainment strategies can be, and were, applied to actual learning challenges.

Focusing on your needs, you will then identify specific tactics you can use to make your presentations, training programs, classes, or communications more successful.

This session will … 

• Explore the connection between entertainment and learning so you can pixie-dust your learning objectives with messages that matter to your learners
• Identify the strategies Walt Disney’s theme parks use to draw people into the experience so you can apply specific tactics to capture learner attention and maintain focus
• Examine the techniques Disney’s team used to transform rides into immersive environments and so you can create your own captivating learning experiences
• Discover Disney’s approach to making a message so memorable that the meaning sticks for years afterwards so you can create magical memories for your audience

Surveys are key tools for evaluating training programs. Surveys are revered for their ease of use and promise of reaching many, but we must be able to craft rich, concise, and focused questions that yield useful data.

For this, we must understand the cognitive processes our respondents use to answer questions with accuracy and candor.

With rich examples and an interactive approach, Sheila will demonstrate why we must engage in a respondent-centered and research-based survey design process to craft high quality questions. Participants will increase their understanding of how to design high quality surveys and leave with resources for further skill development.

Floyd Fowler, preeminent survey researcher,  claims, “Poor [survey] question design is pervasive, and improving questions design is one of the easiest, most cost-effective steps that can be taken to improve the quality of survey data.”
