  Guerilla Measurement: Effective Strategies for Conquering the Board Room
  

  Talent Development is viewed by many as an essential part of organizational growth, one of the keys to unlocking the potential of your employee base. 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.

  Guerilla Measurement is a guided expedition through the land of data that will help even the smallest Talent Development departments prove their worth, easily and with virtually no cost. This session will discuss what meaningful data looks like to the C Suite, where to find it, and how to leverage it in finding proactive solutions to many of your organizations pain points. We’ll dive into how to incorporate evaluation into your instructional design to provide meaningful data that will showcase employee performance/behavior sure to resonate with stakeholders. 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!

  In this session, you will learn how to:

  • Enhance behavioral performance data practices
  • Build a living scorecard
  • Leverage data into proactive development solutions

  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.

  The Key to a Vibrant Company Culture? Talent Development!

  Company vision, mission, and values are all important for aligning a business on where it's headed and what it expects from the team that works there. But have you ever worked at a place where the stated company values didn't match the values and behaviors of the team? Or where the skills needed to achieve the long term company vision weren't the things that were rewarded or celebrated?

  Company culture is the heart and soul of any company. The culture tells people what behaviors are "normal"- what is "good" and what is "bad", regardless of what the vision, mission, or values might say. Talent development and training can make meaningful, practical, and lasting impact to create and sustain a company culture aligned to the values and mission of your business. How? Let's talk about it!
