  Simple Truths in Music Living & Leading
   

  The simple truths in music, living and leading:As a prelude we explore the universal language of music, and apply its hierarchy of rhythm, melody and harmony to leading others to create order out of the chaos of organizational life.

  The 1st movement is "Play...It's Supposed To Be Fun!" in which participants learn to rediscover their personal energy by feeding the 'CHILD' within.

  The 2nd movement is "Practice... What You Put Into Your Life" whereby participants craft their own personal leadership brand, and how to express it via their musical catalog. 

  The 3rd movement is "Perform... Leave Exhausted!" allowing participants to set a leading intention and apply the musical techniques of 'leaving space'. 'call and answer' and 'all for the other' to organizational leadership.

  Throughout this experience, participants will ask, listen, learn, reflect... and even SING!

  In this session, we will:

  • Apply the musical hierarchy of rhythm, melody and harmony to leading others and creating order out of the chaos of organizational life.
  • Master 3 simple techniques of professional performance -'leaving space', 'call and answer' and 'all for the other' -to establish any leading intention.
  • Understand 3 simple truths to establish the 'singing voice' that can capture the attention of your team.
  •  Rediscover the personal energy you thought was lost -by feeding the 'CHILD' within.

  Using xAPI Outside of an LMS to Analyze Learning Behaviors
   

  LLamasoft’s Learning Experience team needed to know if videos they built for the product help system (HTML) were helpful to customers. Similarly, we wanted visibility into search terms and page views. We lacked the data needed for such insight. Having this data would allow us to see if video development was a worthwhile use of the team’s resource allocation.

  In our session, we explore how we used xAPI to collect the data that we need to drive relevant insights that will help us to determine our strategy to the integration of videos in the help system going forward. We will do this by presenting the visualizations of data that we present to stakeholders.

  By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

  • Find the resources to make xAPI work for you and/or your organization
  • Adopt a process to establish an xAPI proof-of-concept that drives value
  • Take an incremental approach to develop xAPI competency

  Pop Up AR: How a Fitness Facility Implemented AR for Safety Training
   

  As a small private fitness facility, Wholistic Revolution could easily rely on the primary mode of 1:1 instruction for procedure, form, and safety of its equipment. Instruction that is the same every time, and tends to feel monotonous and rehearsed the 50 or 60th time the trainer has recited it. There must be a better way! What if that private fitness facility could create and implement a whole new way to teach procedure, form and safety? What if they could quickly be the ONLY gym in the metropolitan area with this new way of learning? And what if that new way was radically fun and techy?

  In this case study session, you'll learn about how Wholistic Revolution implemented AR to create a fun and effective way to learn about gym equipment and fitness topics. You'll find out how this small facility created an AR experience for clients that was engaging, informative and fun! You'll learn how they used AR combined with weekly newsletters to make regular communication interactive and interesting and how they used AR to showcase products and services to potential customers. You'll leave the session with lessons learned from how Wholistic Revolution uses AR to enhance learning for clients and customers, and ideas for how you can use AR at your own organization.

  In this session, we will discover:

  • How Wholistic Revolution implemented new and emerging technology to create a fun and effective way to teach procedure, form, and safety

  • How Wholistic Revolution used AR combined with regular communication to make learning about fitness interesting and engaging

  • How Wholistic Revolution used AR to showcase products and services to potential customers

  • Ideas on how you can use AR at your own organization, right now!
