ImpactDirected Training

Robert Lee reminds readers that humble managers provide a feeling of assuredness, confidence, and empowerment to their work teams. Humility is never achieved through doing, but rather through a state of being.

When Management Becomes Dirt: Leading With Humility

User-design provides an alternative to top-down expert-driven design processes. Grounded in systems theory, user-design empowers frontline stakeholders to design and create their own innovations. As a result, users of innovations are transformed into co-designers of innovations, rather than passive recipients of designs that are imposed upon them by an expert, which in turn may lead to greater adoption and diffusion of those innovations.
During this webcast, we will also discuss the role of instructional designers, specifically how they provide resources and facilitate the work of the design team rather than impose their expertise upon the team members. We will discuss a range of user-design tools, including ethnography, cooperative design, design-based research, action research, and scenario-based design.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recently launched a curriculum for its mission critical occupation—economists. Robert Jordan, an instructional designer, led an agency-wide team of economists and successfully incorporated user-design tools in creating the new curriculum. Joining Robert is Alison A. Carr-Chellman, a professor of Instructional Systems and an author on the topic of user-design. During this webcast, you will learn how the user-design process unfolded at BLS and the critical lessons learned as a result.

Evidence-Based Learning Virtual Conference

Rather than merely an objective of a particular learning program, emotional intelligence needs to be integrated into the learning objectives of every course. Emotions are fundamental to learning, retention, and application. If they're just an afterthought, a large amount of the value of talent development is missed.
In this webcast, you will learn how to:

Share the value and necessity of emotional intelligence hierarchical objectives.
Develop a clear path to learning, retention, and application.
Create learning structures/systems where emotional intelligence is both a means and an end.
Fully integrate social and emotional learning into training, coaching, and development.
 


Emotional Intelligence Is Part of Basic Learning

Research has shown that improving employee engagement in government will drive higher levels of organizational performance, stimulate innovation, reduce unwanted turnover and yield other important workforce and organizational benefits. In this session, Bob will expand on previous sessions he’s presented on engagement, including:
• What employee engagement is and why it matters, particularly in government;
• Assessing the level of employee engagement;
• Improving engagement;
• Developing managerial competencies on engagement;
• Training and educating managers/supervisors on measuring and improving engagement;
• Building an organizational culture of engagement;
• Why engagement efforts fail; and
• How to get started on the journey to improved engagement.
This session will be based in part on Lavigna’s book, Engaging Government Employees:  Motivate and Inspire Your People to Achieve Superior Performance, published by the American Management Association. Governing magazine featured the book as one of the “6 Books Public Employees and Managers Should Read” in 2014.
