Learning-by-doing is the key to technical training.  But, technical training is evolving as there is more demand for modularized content, self-paced labs, and virtual participation.  

Every leader needs a framework to become and remain successful. When all is said and done, there are five critical business levers that, when used properly, turn good leaders into great ones.

Does your organization struggle to find a balance between mandatory and elective training? CEO of BizLibrary, Dean Pichee, will take you through the challenges and benefits of both types of training and discuss how to find the balance you’ve been trying to achieve. He’ll give you real examples of what has worked for companies in the past and recommendations to help your organization succeed in the future.

Everyone knows that gaining access to executives is often critical to success in B2B sales. On one hand, technology like Caller ID, Voicemail, and Email Filters have made it harder than ever to reach C-Level executives.

Training and learning professionals are in a bubble - cocooned in their own world of realities. Slowly, their profession starts eroding. They become irrelevant and misplaced. Their realities are shattered.

Training Matters… but what about culture?  Corporate culture drives results and longevity; "good" cultures create engaged employees, higher retention, and more flexible organizations.  This sounds great, yet too often the next step in this line of thinking is an all-hands survey, one that ends up recommending things like monthly birthday parties and brighter conference room paint. 

Deloitte’s Global Human Resources Trends indicates that employee engagement (and culture) is the number one challenge facing business leaders.  But they sadly claim, that organizations are only ‘somewhat ready’ for this challenge.

The 5 Levels of Leadership webinar will provide a complete framework for developing influence for yourself and others inside your organization. This program covers the upsides and downsides of leadership, as well as the key beliefs and behaviors that a leader must practice in order to advance to the next level.

Managers and leaders find themselves stuck in three vicious circles. They’re frustrated by teams who have become overdependent on them. They’re overwhelmed by the amount of work they have to do. And they’re disconnected from their own Great Work - the work that has impact, the work that has meaning. Sound familiar?

Everyone is looking to develop employee onboarding that gets new recruits up and running faster than the competition, whether it’s closing their first deal, conducting their first client meeting, or managing their first high-profile project. But how?

Belief drives behavior! Success in sales doesn’t just happen because someone follows a mechanical set of process-driven rules. It begins within the head and heart of the salesperson. The challenge today is that most sales managers aren’t equipped to understand or address these internal drivers/barriers, much less engage in a meaningful conversation about them with their reps. Unfortunately, that can lead to sales leaders to ignore the emotional side of selling and end up with an anemic sales team or a revolving door of talent. 

Wouldn’t it be great if you could create training material quickly and easily without having to spend a whole lot of time and money designing your assets from scratch or having someone do them for you?

As senior business leaders focus on shrinking performance gaps and skill shortages to execute upon business strategies, they’re also driving their L&D functions to be more strategic.  In September and October 2015, TRAINING Magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide conducted a research study to examine what it means for L&D to be more strategic, best practices of those organizations that lead the way, and what organizations aren’t doing but should do to be recognized as a strategic L&D leader.

The Project Sponsor’s role on a  project is the single most critical predictor of project success. That said, many if not most Project Sponsors have no idea what they are supposed to be doing. Imagine Captain Pickard from Star Trek - "Make it so!" That’s the extent of the contribution for most organizational Sponsors. It’s up to you as the Project Manager to cultivate the Project Sponsor.  For you project to be successful, you must make sure the Project Sponsor is successful.

Organizations that leverage learning beyond traditional on-boarding and compliance training reap the rewards of a more engaged, more skilled and more productive workforce. But, getting today’s distracted, impatient and busy learners to participate in learning activities isn’t easy. In fact, according to Bersin, 64% of employees aren’t even aware of what is available in their LMS.

In this new workshop, which is based on sales principles in Selling to the C-Suite and social selling strategies from The New Handshake: Sales Meets Social Media, professional salespeople learn to integrate the use of social selling skills and business intelligence tools into the sales process to develop, maintain and leverage relationships with C-Suite executives. 

Have you ever needed to: Implement complex systems or functional upgrades? Train thousands of users? Develop what feels like endless content? Set up and maintain costly live training environments? Support rapidly changing processes and training material? Adhere to stringent language and data privacy requirements? Implement just-in-time training?  

Employee work patterns, development preferences, and access to technology, along with the ever-changing and accelerating business climate, have altered how employees obtain new knowledge and skills.

Thiagi continues to explore techniques for making training design faster, cheaper, and better. In this session, he demonstrates how to locate existing content resources (both archived and live) and wrap them inside effective and engaging learning activities. This approach saves the time and resources that are unnecessarily wasted in rediscovering the training content. By using validated templates for the activities, this technique also speeds up the design process.

However, most complex, technical and compliance learning content remain to be inaccessible for learners to use and learn from. Consequently, learners grow frustrated and waste their time and energy trying to learn complex ideas. In this webinar, you will understand the rules of simplicity by using RULES in designing and delivering content.

Companies spend huge sums to develop leaders, but neglect their writing. For many, writing will be the roadblock that prevents them from advancing. The truth is that as a leader, you spend precious time making your e-mail messages and reports reflect your hard-earned leadership skills. Are you using the latest writing strategies to distinguish yourself as a leader and influence corporate culture? Are you modeling reader-centered writing to drive outcomes—to make writing an asset rather than a drain?
