Leaders are challenged to manage change, transform teams and processes, and build talent – all without the benefit of in-person work with their teams. There’s never been a better time to be an improviser – they think on their feet, embrace change and stay positive – all characteristics shared with high performing teams as well.

In this webinar, Karen will use improv as a way to consider adaptability and flexibility during uncertainty and bring energy and positivity to the conversation.

These ideas are supported by years of research in human behavior, neuroscience. Using the virtual connection tools we have to build relationships, support and motivate your team, leaders can deepen their use of technology and how to show up with presence to build credibility and trust with their teams, clients, and colleagues.

Participants will:

• Apply specific behaviors that make improvisers and leaders successful and build resilience for yourself and your teams
• Practice and share ways to continue to engage with technology and effectively lead team members virtually
• Engage in interactive exercises to develop collaboration techniques to build virtual communication interaction and confidence
• Develop a plan to continue the learning, stay connected, and prepare for transitions

You know that communication is important. Effective communication planning is considered an essential part of project management success. And yet, many of us struggle to communicate well.

Good communicators recognize the needs of their audience, and craft messages that have the desired impact at the appropriate time. The challenge for many of us is how to do that well.

An essential part of good communication is story. And good story has structure, rules and guidelines.

Understanding how story works, and how to tell good stories, is a critical tool in communicating well. In this presentation, you will learn how to understand and apply story telling principles to your communication efforts.

In today’s business environment, talent remains the major differentiator. And, despite workplace uncertainty and volatility, developing and retaining that talent is one of the most significant drivers of employee engagement… which in turn is the key to contemporary business outcomes like resilience, revenue, profitability, and innovation.

Yet, despite its importance, leaders (especially given competing, high-profile demands) too frequently ignore the development imperative.  And this comes with significant implications.

Despite an uncertain job market, your best performers who believe that their careers are not getting the attention they deserve come closer and closer to making the decision to take their talents elsewhere. And given the migration to more remote work, their options are growing every day.

So, what’s a leader to do? Plenty… and it may be easier than you expect. Quality career development boils down to quality conversations.  Improve the conversation and career development follows… along with job satisfaction, retention and results.

This session focuses on actionable strategies for enabling leaders to engage in the kind of career development employees want as well as steps human resources professionals can take to cultivate a culture that can support meaningful and sustainable development.

Learn:

1. Unravel the connection been career development and business results
2. Explore the factors (organizational and individual) that conspire to undermine career development
3. Redefine what career development means today
4. Apply a simple framework for incorporating organic development into day-to-day work
5. Consider the connection between culture and career development
