  Improve Your L&D/TD Practices by Applying Adult Learning Theories
  

  Far too often educators and talent development professionals rely on gut instincts and what they have heard works, without any evidence supporting their actions.

  In this interactive session we will explore adult learning theories, with a concentration on Perry’s Theory of Cognitive Development, that will improve your practices in the workplace when applied.

  Throughout this presentation, we will:

  • Examine proven adult learning theories
  • Identify your learners’ stage(s) of development
  • Relate adult learning theories to your workplace practices

  This presentation will inspire you to think critically about how you can apply theories to your unique setting and practices.

Still, Talent Development is often one of the first items cut whenever budgets start to tighten. It's not that the value isn't inherent, we as Talent Development professionals just haven't always been able to find a way to prove our merit past knowledge retention and smile sheets.

We’ll show you how to arm your upcoming program proposal with the right data to win approval quickly, leveraging resources that are likely already available to you. The best part, these practices don't require vendor contracts or advanced certifications in excel, merely a can do attitude and personal knowledge of your organization.

  Join us on this exciting journey as we learn how to turn numbers on a page, into wins in the boardroom!

  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.
