In addition to facing the global pandemic, spiking inflation, and near-recession, today’s leaders must deal with trends such as the “Great Resignation,” “Quiet Quitting,” and “Bare Minimum Mondays.”

Likewise, they must figure out how to handle the dramatic changes that likely will result from emerging technologies such artificial intelligence-based tools.

All this while piloting their employees and organizations toward optimum performance.

But they can’t do it alone—and that’s where Learning and Development (L&D) comes in.

For the seventh year, Training magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide teamed up to conduct the Annual Leadership Survey, which focuses on what organizations are doing to develop effective leaders in these constantly changing times.

In this year’s survey, we saw some tremendous swings in needs and expectations and a clear indication that L&D, as an industry, is exploring new avenues and methods of effectively delivering leadership development training.

Join Lorri  & Michael  for this webinar, which they explore:

• The current state of leadership development (including levels of investment, priority skills, generational shifts, and learning methods)
• How the hybrid work environment is affecting leadership development
• Best practices and tips from high-performing companies to reinvent leadership development amidst continued turbulent times and technological transformation

You’ll come away with a roadmap to achieve a greater return on your leadership development investments as you help your leaders successfully guide their teams, employees, and organizations boldly and inclusively into the future.

Learning online is now commonplace. We know how to use the platform features, but unfortunately, engaging attendees to participate, to come on camera, and to unmute can be like “herding cats,” as the saying goes.

The features of the platform are not what engages people, it is how we use them that makes an impact.

Establishing a comfortable, safe, and technically sound online learning environment is essential. Meaningful and relevant activities are the secret.

Like tasty treats and fresh catnip, attendees will be unable to resist actively participating in your virtual training when you use these learning activities and a “never fail” debrief strategy to involve them!

Invite participants to take charge of their learning and experience virtual training like they’ve never seen before.

Walk away with:

• 3-6 ready to use virtual learning activity examples, including one that uses escape game strategy for exploratory learning
• 1 “never fail” debrief strategy to reflect on, validate, and encourage learning
• 1 job aid to assist you to make your own virtual learning activities
• An understanding of the psychology behind virtual training design and delivery strategies that truly engage

Whether it’s an online meeting, a presentation via webinar, or live online training, engagement is the main question on everyone’s mind:

Will it be worth my time to attend, or
Will it be an opportunity to check email instead?

Online meeting technology is powerful and has made it easy to connect with people from anywhere in the world at any time, yet  professionals often still struggle with getting everyone to interact.

Interaction is the answer to successful engagement and using the features of the platform is the answer to interaction.

However, the features alone do not engage the participants. It is what you choose to do with those features that will make the difference in your next virtual training, webinar, or meeting.

During this session, you will learn what you can do to be successful in the virtual environment and avoid having everyone ask for a recording or a copy of the slides five minutes into your next virtual event.

In this session:

• You’ll analyze the activities demonstrated and brainstorm where the techniques could be applied to your virtual training programs.
• You’ll explore the specific challenges of managing the technology, and brainstorm solutions to the engagement problems you are likely to experience with your live online attendees when technical problems arise.

Activities are the key to your success. Through them you’ll learn to manage the technology, get attendees to actively engage, and help presenters have a great time too!

Application on the Job

• Define virtual learner engagement to effectively design the appropriate activities.
• Analyze activities for specific engagement techniques and feature usage to apply to your own activity design.
• Create your own customized activities for immediate use in your virtual classroom programs.

Virtual training and webinars are unfortunately known for their technical breakdowns. Ask anyone what they dislike about learning online and the answer is usually that it’s boring, it’s not engaging, and there are too many technical problems.

The first 10 minutes of live online sessions is often spent on struggles to get everyone connected and making the audio work. Identifying someone to be your virtual producer (or someone who performs that role) will transform not only the way you run your online training, but also how you and your attendees feel about them.

Producers help every aspect of virtual training run effectively starting with the technology itself, assisting the attendees as needed, and allowing trainers and presenters to focus on the learning experience.

Attend this energetic & engaging live session and you’ll learn these plus much, much more:

• Identify the different types of producers and when to use each depending on the virtual session being delivered
• Determine the necessary skills to develop people (including existing virtual trainers) to be effective producers
• Create an action plan to ensure the production of your virtual sessions are engaging every time
