Webinars
How Do You Come Across to Others? 12/17/2018 2:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm EST Research shows that assertive behavior improves individual and organizational performance. The ability to influence others is critical to anyone in a leadership or sales role, and enormously useful to just about everybody else. But people aren’t necessarily born assertive – it’s largely an acquired skill. And that’s good news for trainers.
The Myths that Plague Us 01/09/2019 2:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm EST As learning professionals, we should be following evidence-based methods. Our learners and our employers expect us to apply learning science to the best of our abilities. Yet persistent mistaken beliefs about learning continue to permeate our efforts. Pernicious superstitions such as learning styles, millennials, neural, and more continue to be trotted out in advertising, consulting, and client conversations.
Team Effectiveness: What Is It Any Way? 01/16/2019 2:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm EST The concept of a group working through blockages to its own performance has received attention from several authors. Francis and Young (1979), for example, viewed team building as the careful working through of all blockages until a group becomes a team.
Why Does Diversity Matter? 01/23/2019 2:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm EST A survey by Korn/Ferry International found that more than 2 million people leave their jobs each year because of unfairness in the workplace. The hiring costs which result from high turnover are a huge stumbling block to company success, not to mention the time investment that goes into screening applicants and acclimating new hires to their role. Still, the greatest hindrance to progression lies within the heart of the issue – that is, to devalue and exclude employees because they are different is to also place limitations on their contributions and ability to grow.
Leadership Styles: Measuring and Refining Your Skills 01/30/2019 2:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm EST Why do some leaders flourish while others fail? Effective leaders positively influence the behavior of their followers, getting them to work toward shared goals. But leaders have different ways in which they characteristically influence others.
Learning to Listen: How Listening Can Improve Workplace Performance 02/06/2019 2:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm EST If you want to make real improvements to communication, it’s time to listen up. This listening skills test helps individuals to develop their strengths and improve upon their weaknesses so they are better equipped to handle customer complaints, negotiate contracts, manage teams, and more.
What Makes a Great Leader? 02/13/2019 2:00 pm EST - 3:00 pm EST There’s more to leadership than having a notable title and being in charge of a team. You might have the authority to manage other people, but if you’re an unsuccessful leader, you won’t be able to guide and inspire your employees to accomplish their goals.
