PowerPoint can be an awesome tool to help you convey information. Yet, have you ever thought about delivering a presentation without any slides at all?

Why would you even consider doing this, as PPT is so widely accepted and expected? It’s simple. If you remove the crutch of PPT, it forces you as a communicator to think differently about how you present your message. It will sharpen your other presentation abilities and make you a much better presenter.

In this session, delivered entirely WITHOUT slides, you’ll learn more about the essential skills all presenters should master, beyond slide design.

Glen willexplore how to capture the minds and hearts of our listeners by:

• Painting vivid word pictures
• Incorporating storytelling, analogies, and memory-aiding techniques.
• Exploring alternative, creative ways to convey ideas visually, beyond flat images contained within 16×9 rectangles.

Once you master these skills, it will improve your usage of PowerPoint, because you’ll realize the power of figuring out what you are trying to say first, and THEN crafting visuals to support your message.

In this session, Glenn Gibson (LinkedIn profile) will explore this correlation and show you how to put slides in their proper place.

Glen will take a deep dive into:

• Structure – How to apply a repeatable award-winning structure to your presentations
• Melody – How to write a “chorus” for your presentation, and apply analogies and stories to hook the ear of your listener
• Lyrics – How to refine your words to ensure your performance is flawless

Wondering what all the AI fuss is about? You’re not alone! The question is not if AI can help us, but how?

In this workshop you will leave equipped with the skills to leverage AI as your instructional design partner. Together we will explore AI’s capabilities and limitations, ensuring you can use different AI tools effectively.

Be prepared to get hands-on! Working side-by-side, we will put theory into practice! By using the provided cheatsheet, we will analyze learning content to develop rock-solid learning outcomes. As a bonus we will use those outcomes to design engaging activities based on Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction.

Get ready to:

• Examine AI’s abilities and limitations, setting the stage for its effective use in instructional design
• Using appropriate prompt engineering, direct AI to develop learning objectives that are more action-focused and align with Bloom’s Taxonomy
• Then practice engineering prompt formulas to receive lesson plans and activites that are more targeted and relevant, and less neutral (or generic)
• Identify how the use of roles and personas will direct your AI sidekick to be more helpful and effective

By the end of this workshop, you’ll walk away with a practical toolkit of skills, allowing you to design with greater efficiency and welcome AI as your creative partner in the instructional design process. Ready to supercharge your learning design and have some fun?

Have you heard these complaints from designers and trainers?

• “We want to change our training, but our boss insists on his command and control style.”
• “My SMEs (Subject Matter Experts)  demand that all content must be lectured. So we overload learners.”
• “Our employees complain a lot since we keep training them on the same topic, same subject, over and over again, every year for compliance, but  they are so boring.”
• “Our learners don’t spend time on training and learning, because they are too long.”
• “Our learners find the topics irrelevant.”

The above are just examples of the moaning and complaining of workers, learners, L&D specialists, and leaders. Their “Training Is Broken”. How then, can they fix them?

Ray will discuss the following:

• What are the roots of “evil” in failed or broken training programs?
• How do you classify which one is deeply rooted or is just a lack of knowledge and skills or resources?
• What are superficial fixes and “band-aids” that won’t last?
• How do you fix or improve the problems in the following:?
• Meaningless content
• Long content
• Disinterested learners
• Spoon feeding learning
• Lack of application training
• Boring training

What should successful L&D specialists do? Where is focus fixed in design, authoring, multimedia, platform, and delivery?

When you register you may be able to submit advanced questions on “Broken Training” and receive a response from Ray.
