Join Lou Russell and her friends for a different kind of webinar. We'll be having a party, playing games, building treats, celebrating all holidays of December and spreading peace and love (yes, Lou was a teen in the 70s).

A diabolical aspect of overload and busy-ness is that it always feels like our fault. Your talented team may continuously feel a sense of free-floating guilt; like if they could only find the right podcast or filing system then the tidal wave could be tamed.   That’s not what our research shows, we studied busyness, and we found no less than thirty-three unique sources of pressure each cascading down one upon the other and eventually onto you. These forces are in fact combatable through the power of organizing a professional culture around a simplification mindset and then using that context to enter a new level of organizational logic.

If you think finding a needle in a haystack is difficult, try finding an e-learning program that holds people’s attention and affects behavior change. Now there’s a challenge! We know too much lecture is a no-no, yet most live-online learning programs are lecture heavy and interactive-light.

Traditional video has become an important and engaging component of training programs. That said, while it’s a fantastic tool for learning, it is still often limited to the linear path or story that it shares. People can watch video, but they can’t control it themselves. But what if L&D professionals created a more immersive world for learners by giving them the ability to explore anything and everything around them? That more interactive video experience is possible now with 360-degree video.

Problem - Employees are going overboard, leaving companies at a faster pace than ever before. You work so hard to recruit the right talent and yet 1/3 of employees quit their jobs in just the first six months! One major factor in this is lack of great onboarding.  Companies fail to realize the need to reinforce the "buying decision" - yes, onboarding is a key time for new associates to determine if they made the right choice or not.

Sales and Marketing teams exist in highly competitive, ever-shifting environments. Determining your teams’ focus can be a game changer and help set the stage for immediate and long-term WINS.   

One of the biggest challenges faced by organizations is generating consistent buy-in from trainees in the face of constant distractions and competing priorities.

The virtual environment is rapidly changing, and participant expectations are high. Are you keeping up with new ways to communicate and connect with your audience? Are you presenting yourself as a virtual professional?

We all know how important clear goals are to management. We sometimes forget they’re not enough. If you want an employee base that brings their best, they need more than goals - they need access to resources, and they need to be able to perceive their own progress along the way.

The truth about the future of work is that it’s unpredictable. As technology, industries, and demographics continue to shift, organizations have found themselves in a position as exciting as it is challenging: What will the future hold, and how do you prepare for the unexpected?

The science of the brain is the cutting-edge of the art of management. The Neuroscience of Engagement webinar shares insights and strategies that help us raise our game.

eLearning and most technology assisted learning are data dumps or glorified PowerPoint presentations. Even those we call as gamification and virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) solutions try to force learners to learn content - but not how to learn or think critically and creatively. The consequence of the lack of thinking in learning is that many workers are unable to deal with problems at work that require dealing with exceptions, deviations, uncertainties and rapid change of knowledge and skills. Most training stops in learning content. What is needed is for learners to "think critically."
