How many failures do you allow in your organization? Is it something you try to minimize or try to encourage? And while you might claim to “fail fast and cheap,” how often do you end up doing the exact opposite?

In this webinar, we will explore how our society developed such an aversion to failure. We’ll see how 20th-century education models and business plans are designed to minimize mistakes, even though research shows that mistakes are one of the biggest precursors to success. We will see how true innovators, from James Dyson to Thomas Edison, had failure rates well above 90%. And we will compare these rates to our own as we ask ourselves, “How can we get better by getting it wrong?”

Through discussion and hands-on mini-exercises, this webinar will reveal that professional environments have a lot to learn from the commercial gaming industry, the one spot in a society where failure is actually expected and encouraged. Attendees will receive case studies and ready-to-use tools for creating fail-forward approaches within their own organizations and building a playful and fearless learning culture.

Perfect for designers, trainers, and HR leaders, this session will give you the data and tools you need to improve any project or initiative through the lost art of trial and error.

Learn:

• To identify how adult learners have come to fear failure
• How to analyze and compare failure ratios, rates, and costs
• How to use game-based thinking to create environments that increase reflection and self-efficacy
• To get comfortable creating business metrics, even when they might fail
• How to “gamify” any learning environment with a provided template

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

How are YOU handling the ‘new normal’? No, not your employees.  No, not your organization.  HOW ARE YOU DOING?

This session is for YOU, and ABOUT YOU. This is your opportunity to understand why you’re feeling the way you’re feeling.  How is your own engagement doing compared to others?

This hour of discovery includes powerful and revealing real time polling and benchmarking.  Are you under or over your baseline of engagement? Are you anxious about the new normal, or is it an opportunity? Are you in the zone? As we return to the office, how normal do you feel?  Is life impacting you at work, or is work impacting your life?

Are emotions impacting your engagement at work? If so, how?

In the best of times, Gallup claims that only 35% of us are engaged in the workplace. This is before a global health crisis, an event is causing us to have concerns for our health, our family, our jobs, and the economy.

It is unlikely you’re at the top of your game today as studies reveal that what happens AFTER work, often has more to do with our engagement as what happens DURING work.

And if you’re a manager, knowing your own engagement is exponentially important because research tells us that if a manager is disengaged, his/her employees are 3 TIMES more likely to be disengaged themselves.

No matter where you are, you’ll better understand why you’re there. And perhaps take comfort that there are others just like you!!

Join Bob for this interactive webinar and learn the secrets to becoming a more engaged, motivated, and productive person, employee, and if applicable, manager, in this captivating and self-reflective session of self-discovery.

Highlights include:

For YOU As An Individual:

• Is the pandemic causing you to bring the wrong emotions to work
• Why feeling ‘trapped’ is a significant disengagement driver
• Learn how to engage the WHOLE employee
• Steps to become more engaged as an individual
• Understanding the two sides of engagement: personal and organizational
• The role of your age and organizational level in engagement
• Why I might not be “in the zone”
• What are my intrinsic motivational drivers?

For You If You’re Also A Manager:

• Why being empathetic is more important today than ever
• How to coach employees to booster their personal engagement
• How to use polling exercises to get at the ‘undiscussables’ with your team
• How to get your employees to go ‘above and beyond’
