Project environments are complex and unique for every project. Project environment and interpersonal context drive performance as much as, if not more than, clearly defined project scope, objectives, and budget.

Project managers often have no direct authority over project team members or input into performance reviews. Project team members take direction from multiple project managers and line managers at the same time, and work on multiple projects concurrently, creating overload, unclear priorities, and stress.

Because leadership plays a crucial role in determining whether a project will be successful or not, it is imperative that project managers possess the skills necessary to guide and inspire their teams. This includes recognizing and diffusing the negative effects of toxic behavior.

Toxic behavior is often subtle, inevitable on certain types of projects, can be prolonged, and ‘spread’ across the organization to a point of ‘cultural toxicity’. \

Recognizing and diffusing toxic behavior by practicing techniques grounded in acknowledgment, gratitude, and appreciation can help you run projects more successfully and foster a healthier workplace.

Upon completion of this webinar, the participants will be able to:

• Toxic behavior and its impact on a project and within an organization
• Role of and techniques in engaging team members
• Recognizing toxic handlers
• Identifying toxic behavior in organizations
• Techniques and practices to diffuse toxic behavior
• Legal considerations
• Providing feedback and the Power of Acknowledgment
• The Cycle of Grateful Leadership for managing project team members

This webinar is presented in partnership with the Center for Grateful Leadership (CGL) a division of International Institute for Learning (IIL).

“Experience Learning” is another “hype” term that designers (and leaders) may add to their arsenal of “engagement tools.” The hope is to excite learners so they study the content.

Unfortunately, this is far from the intent of the Learning Experience Method. Instead, the focus is to be on how to help learners to learn from real-work problems and issues, solving, fixing, and improving them. Then sharing their experiences and new knowledge.

Experience Learning is authentic deep learning by discovery, trial and error, and insights.

Learn the following:

• Differentiate Experience Learning from instructions, memorization, drill and practice, and games.
• Discover Failures of Experience Learning and how to prevent them.
• Plan for Experience Learning: finding the environment, the business drivers, and the impact areas.
• Understanding the building blocks of Experience Learning.
• Find the right mixture of platforms and tools for Experience Learning.
• Measure Experience Learning contributions.
• Discuss three case studies.

People call them handouts, leave-behinds, slide docs, downloadables, or just “documents.”

When you use PowerPoint to create something for distribution and meant to be read by a single person at any given time, it’s not really a presentation anymore—it’s a document.

And it should be designed and treated as such. You could use InDesign or Word, but PowerPoint is actually surprisingly powerful for this format when you learn a few tricks and approaches.

Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Nolan Haims will show you how to use PowerPoint as a desktop publishing tool to create effective print and PDF materials.

You will learn:

• The characteristics of print design and layout and what can be accomplished in PowerPoint
• How to design standalone print documents in PowerPoint at any page size
• Multiple strategies for creating companion handouts for on-screen presentations
• How to setup and use paragraph styles in PowerPoint (yes, it’s possible!)
