The real presentation magic comes from the effort before opening PowerPoint or setting foot on a stage. Even a visual - a slide - is a consequence of the message, how clear you are about it, and how much time you’ve invested in developing it. A slide is just a picture of what’s in the presenter’s head.

Beyond the Classroom - Alternative Strategies for Developing EQ in Leaders

The learning landscape is changing—and chatbots are at the forefront of that change. Join us for an engaging session where we’ll showcase how leading organizations use AI-powered chatbots to transform training reinforcement, support just-in-time learning, and deliver scalable coaching and tutoring.  

While artificial intelligence (AI) has taken center stage across learning and development (L&D), its presence in leadership coaching and human-centered dialogue is only beginning to unfold. But the script is changing.  

Poor design really isn’t about aesthetics. It’s one of the major barriers to effective communication. People simply won’t engage, and you’ll lose them amongst all the noise. But, think about some of the best communicators out there, and how they deliver compelling stories. It’s usually about developing a story narrative in conjunction with great design, and that’s what this session aims to help you achieve - both for high-level ideas, but also more detailed information that you typically have to share.  

AI is not just a tool. It’s a catalyst for enterprise-wide transformation. As organizations adapt to the accelerating pace of change, the role of leadership development is becoming increasingly strategic. Success depends more on than adopting new technologies; it requires learning that’s embedded in the business and leaders who can guide people, culture, and innovation forward.  

Drama is the mismanagement of conflict and diverts energy precious away from connection and results. Conflict itself, however, isn't the problem. Conflict, when managed properly, can provide considerable energy for positive outcomes. Drama Resilience is a person's capacity to use conflict in productive vs. destructive ways, and can be reliably measured.   

In today’s uncertain economic climate, budget pressures and accountability concerns are top of mind for many organizations. As a C-suite leader, it’s critical to ensure that your projects and programs demonstrate clear value—framed in terms that executives and key stakeholders appreciate, understand, and champion.  

Teams power more and more of today’s work. Nearly 90% of today’s workers say that they spend 1/3 to 1/2 of each day working in teams. It is no surprise that teams can make or break any organization’s competitive advantage. Discover the surprising truth about what creates or crushes high-performing teams.  

That moment…when you are approaching the front of the room to speak, and all eyes are on you. Do you ever feel like you have butterflies churning in your stomach, drums beating in your chest, and lightning flashing through your veins? If so, you are not alone. It’s perfectly normal to feel heightened levels of anxiety and stress before presenting. The trick is learning how to channel this nervous energy to HELP you, instead of letting it HINDER you.  

Even though SCORM has been around for a while, it still raises a ton of questions, even for experienced course developers. This quick guide will help you get clear answers, from what SCORM actually is to how to publish a course and test it properly — everything in one place.

Enterprise chatbots have moved beyond novelty. Today, they’re key tools for improving onboarding, reinforcing training, delivering just-in-time support, and scaling coaching across large organizations. But while AI technology is more accessible than ever, a successful chatbot launch depends less on the tech itself and more on the planning that precedes it. That’s where the right questions come in. Over years of implementing enterprise chatbots across industries, we’ve found that certain questions reliably uncover the insights needed for an effective, sustainable chatbot. This white paper shares those questions—and more importantly, explains why they matter—so you can approach your chatbot design process with clarity and confidence.

You’ve built the relationships, had the conversations, and shown your value. But when it’s time to ask for the business…do you freeze up? You’re not alone! Asking can feel awkward—like you're being too pushy or salesy. But what if there was a way to ask that felt natural, easy, and even exciting?  

Interest in Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is growing.  How many people have you met who seem to be brilliant IQ-wise but maybe don’t have EQ people skills to reach their full potential?  As that number grows, so do client requests for a program on EQ to fill that gap.  

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we evaluate learning and performance. Join us for an insightful webinar where we explore the fusion of AI and the Kirkpatrick Model to enhance training evaluations. Discover how AI can refine program planning, generate innovative brainstorming techniques, and elevate data analysis and presentation, all while maintaining essential human oversight.  

Training is an essential tool for building employee knowledge, skills, and competencies. However, the effectiveness of training can be limited by the transfer of the learning to the job. According to the Institute for Transfer Effectiveness, there are 12 levers of transfer effectiveness that organizations can use to maximize trainees' application of learning post-training, four of which connect to training design: clarity of expectations, content relevance, active practice, and transfer planning.  

From the guy who has been on the PowerPoint scene since the beginning, this is a must-have collection of his most revered tips and tricks.  

In a world overflowing with AI tools and bold claims, how do learning leaders cut through the noise and design experiences that actually build capability, clarity, and momentum?  

Disengagement rarely begins with a resignation letter—it starts quietly and can only be discovered by asking your employees the right questions, in the right way, at the right time. In today’s volatile talent market, where your top performers are always one click away from another opportunity, spotting the early warning signs is mission-critical.   

Cookie-cutter training doesn't cut it anymore. Your learners expect content that’s relevant, responsive, and personalized—and they expect it now.

Join us for an engaging conversation between Andre Harris, Vice President of Employee Engagement at Camden Living, and Megan Fanale, COO of Abilitie, as they explore how Camden Living revitalized its leadership development strategy with a bold, human-centered approach. This webinar will walk through the design and implementation of The Art of Leadership—Camden Living’s immersive program powered by Abilitie’s practice-based simulations and collaborative learning experiences. From executive involvement to peer-driven learning, you’ll hear how Camden successfully launched a leadership initiative that was met with high engagement and enthusiastic participation across its rising leaders.  

How often do you find yourself caught in the endless loop of updating courses, whether it’s to reflect a minor policy change or a significant shift in organizational priorities? Maintenance can be a major pain point for learning teams, especially when it involves compliance, technical training, or simulations—topics that are prone to frequent updates.
