Best Practices Evolve & Abide in Mobile Testing

In just a few years, mobile devices and the applications on them have upended the way people use computers.

Obviously, mobile devices and apps have important differences from their PC counterparts.

It’s NOT Just A Smaller Screen!

• Does that mean that all proven best practices for testing and quality go out the window when dealing with mobile apps?

In this webinar, Rex will explain what changes, and what doesn’t change, when you move into the mobile world.

How To Lead With Presence & Impact!

Why does emotional intelligence (EI) matter? Because at the core of every outstanding leader are the abilities to connect, achieve, inspire and act with resilience.

Emotional intelligence has evolved from an area of research to a recognized set of best practices and core competencies that are at the heart of successful leadership. Today we use EI as an integrated set of skills that underpin highly effective, fast-reacting, and innovative organizations.

This webcast offers you a powerful introduction to the highly popular hands-on AMA seminar, Leading with Emotional Intelligence.

To give a real sense of EI in practice, we’ll take a deep look at how EI drives and facilitates your ability to lead collaboration.  You’ll also learn about the F.L.I.P. Modes of Conversation as a “must have” tool for collaboration and relationship enhancement.

If you want to become the consummate emotionally intelligent leader, this webcast is a great place to start.

Learn:

• Emotional Intelligence (EI):
  • What it is and why it’s such a critical leadership skill
• The 4 cornerstones of EI
• How EI underpins and facilitates 6 core leadership competencies
• The role EI plays in leading collaboration
• How EI skills can help you overcome defensiveness
• Learn how to F.L.I.P. a conversation toward collaboration

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

How To Create Your Personal Group Of Mentors

Mentorship is so last year. Rather than seeking out a single mentor, the most successful leaders focus instead on building a circle of support — a diverse group of people with whom you consult regularly to get advice and feedback.

Having access to your own personal circle of support means that, no matter what the situation—personal or career-related—you always have someone whom you can count on for high quality support.

What You Will Learn:

In this webcast, Danielle Harlan,  will draw upon lessons from her book, The New Alpha: Join the Rising Movement of Influencers and Changemakers Who Are Redefining Leadership, to show you how to build your own circle of support—including who you should look for, how you can connect them in, and how they can help you.

Presenter: Danielle Harlan PhD, (LinkedIn profile) Founder/CEO of the Center for Advancing Leadership and Human Potential and the author of The New Alpha: Join the Rising Movement of Influencers and Changemakers Who Are Redefining Leadership.  Danielle earned her doctorate in political science and MA in education from Stanford University, where she was a Jacob K. Javits National Fellow & received a Centennial Teaching Award for excellence in instruction. Prreviously Danielle was the Chief of Operations for the Carnegie Foundation, where she worked to harness the power of networks and quality improvement strategies. Named one of Silicon Valley’s “40 Under 40,” Danielle has also been a speaker for TEDx (Reimagining Leadership for the 21st Century) and worked as an instructor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and U.C. Berkeley Extension’s Corporate and Professional Development Program. In addition, she has given guest lectures at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (the “d.school”) and the Career Development Center at Stanford.
