Leaders have a lot to manage. They need to move projects along, keep the big picture and goals of the organization in mind, and manage their direct reports. Servant leadership takes a new approach to traditional responsibilities by placing an emphasis on serving employees and removing obstacles to their success.

"To make a mistake is human, but to blame it on someone else is… even more human."   Much of what’s happening in our organizations today is nothing more than a thinly veiled blame game.  Colleagues gather in post mortem meetings to "find out what went wrong." Managers use goals and accountability as weapons to dole out punishment when things change unexpectedly.  And sooner or later, we all find ourselves accidentally contributing to a culture of duck-and-cover as we create ever more complex forms of the argument that "I did my part, I can’t control everything."  

In this session, we will take a very prevalent term in our industry, "reskilling", and introduce it to a very new and trending term, "creator-centric". Can you imagine rebuilding your learning culture around the learner as the creator rather than the recipient of the content? It will happen but instead of it happening to your organization, make it happen for your organization.

While there has always been a need to show the value of projects, today, there is even greater pressure to show value in terms that executives appreciate. Sometimes that pressure comes before an investment is approved. Other times, there is a need to forecast an ROI based on participant perception of program content. Occasionally, it is important to determine value of a program based on the predictive validity of test data. And, now and then, forecasting ROI on improved proficiency with critical skills is a useful pursuit as it helps demonstrate value in mathematical terms, when those all-important business measures are unavailable.

In his new book, Blindspots: The Hidden Killer of Sales Coaching, sales coach, trainer and author (The Funnel Principle) Mark Sellers exposes a universal problem facing sales leaders - they all have blindspots.  The fundamental problem with blindspots is they prevent leaders from creating emotional connections.  As a result, leaders don’t get everything their people have to give, and performance and results are compromised.    

With the nation-wide move to have employees work from home to limit social distancing in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, many managers are faced with virtually managing their employees for the first time.

Thirty-six percent of employees would give up a pay raise for the ability to work remotely; forty percent would be willing to take a pay cut for that option.    

Creating and facilitating a training program is a huge undertaking. There's so much to consider, like who will receive training, what topics you'll train on, what type of content to use, how you'll deliver it, and so much more. One really important piece that frequently gets overlooked is determining the goals and metrics you'll use to measure the success of your training efforts. Many times, organizations don't look at the success of training efforts until it comes time to renew funding and leadership wants to see the return on their investment. This usually leaves program managers scrambling to pull reports on metrics like utilization or launches, which don't show changed behaviors or improvements in competencies. In order for your training efforts to be successful, it's important to determine what your goals are up front, as well as how you'll measure those goals. But sometimes creating the goals and metrics for training can feel just as daunting as putting together the program. In this ebook, you'll learn ten steps for creating goals and metrics for training in a manageable way. You'll learn: Why it's important to set goals and metrics for training How to continually monitor and measure the success of training using milestones Why you should share training goals with everyone How to set meaningful goals for your training program

Video is a unique beast. It’s more engaging than a training manual, but sharing it on your LMS (or worse, on YouTube) can create problems.

The bots are coming and having borne witness to at least Six Terminator movies, you are understandably terrified.
