Did you know that 81% of working professionals say their team is not operating anywhere near its full potential? If you’ve ever heard, "We can’t seem to make a decision," "No one will step up" and "We can’t seem to have a good, healthy debate," you are not alone.   

You want it this way; I want it that way. It’s been said that negotiation is the art of "letting the other side have your way." But just how skilled are we at practicing the day-to-day art of negotiation at work? Do you get sweaty palms just anticipating an interaction or blurt out a request that sounds strangely like a demand? Can you talk your way out of an impossible timeline or get that budget bump your unit desperately needs? Although there are times when we’d give just about anything to gain the upper hand on the job, what we say and how we say it can make or break us in the long run—and often, in the short run, too. As always, our communication skills are on the line.

There isn’t a manager on earth who doesn’t wish they could get more out of their people. Unfortunately, when it comes to motivating their teams, most managers tend to treat everyone the same. Why?

We'll examine the strategic implications of integrating AI voice into your L&D initiatives, discuss tactical approaches for implementation, and navigate the ethical considerations that arise when using synthetic voices.

Do you use ADDIE or Agile Design in your work? Have you used ADKAR or Kotter’s 8-Step Model? Are these learning models designed for learning or change? For learning programs to drive demonstrable behavior change, L&D professionals can turn to approaches used by change management professionals. In turn, change management professionals increase their success when they borrow approaches form behavioral psychology and learning science. The fact that McKinsey & Co. report that over 70% of change efforts fail to deliver their intended outcomes suggests we have opportunities to improve our capability for learning and change. How can we bring these disciplines together to increase our chances of success? Research over the last 18 months by Larry Mohl at Rali has uncovered four validated change capabilities that are measurable and predictive of change initiative success. These capabilities are being used as part of Rali's Change Experience solution as they work with organizations. In this session you will have the opportunity to discuss these capabilities, review company use cases, and assess one of your own initiatives.
