Help Your Team Perform At Their Best

Today’s demands of work, performance, life, family, community, and play can sometimes seem (and be) out of control.

Juggling all of life and work dynamics can cause stress, frustration, and even health issues getting both employees and organizations into a bad cycle and challenging our abilities to perform at our best.

What separates you and your employees from having the energy and desire to perform their best toward long-term sustainability?

As Human Capital leaders, we have an organization role to play in order to help our employees and organizations reach their full potential by helping them view their performance as a pyramid with the full functioning capacity of the body, mind, and spirit.

This webinar will provide the practices that it takes to move your employees and your organization toward a more sustainable way of being, helping them achieve their full potential toward health, happiness, performance and long-term sustainability.

Establishing rhythms, routines, and guardrails are a necessity for them and the organization to show up and perform as your best: physically, mentally, relationally, and spiritually, toward long-term prosperity and sustainability.

Help your team perform at their best with:

  • New tools and techniques for both organizations and employees to finding balance between stress , recovery, and performance
  • An opportunity to identify a common sense of purpose as well as understand and incorporate  personal values
  • A canvas of what a non-overworked and non-overwhelmed success would look like and guidance toward mindful living. Best practices toward achieving long-term sustainability for optimum performance
  • Share examples of organizations that are successfully applying some of these tools and their results

There is a growing need for trainers to curate content to support powerful self-learners.

Curating allows trainers to help learners find and study valuable content from informal sources like blogs, articles, webinars, videos, white papers, case studies and others.

Unfortunately, trainers are accustomed to the “they-must-learn-my-content” mindset and misunderstand their new roles as curators.

  • They miss the opportunities to serve learners with varied and far-reaching knowledge.
  • They need to shift to the “follow-your-own-interest” mindset.

Join Ray Jimenez as he demonstrates how to capitalize on & address the training needs of the independent “Self-Learners” on your team.

Topics covered:

  • What does research show about the growth and demand of the new trainer role, the curator?
  • What are the challenges and opportunities in training for curation?
  • What do powerful self-learners need?
  • How do you combine your courses with informal sources of learning?
  • How do you track and ensure that powerful self-learners stay within the “Grid” of your instructional design?

Presenter : Ray Jimenez (LinkedIn profile) – Chief Learning Architect and Founder of Vignettes Learning and StoryImpacts.com, a systems development and consulting company specializing in e-Learning and Performance Systems, eLearning course development and interactive tools and social learning community platform.
