  “Asking Data Driven Questions”

  About This Event

  
  

  Recently, it's become an expectation in most organizations that all departments use data to make decisions and evaluate results. Most of us are not trained analysts, and while the power of data can’t be argued with, harnessing that power can seem out of reach for someone with limited experience with data.

  However, solving problems with data starts with simple but often overlooked questions: asking the right questions. Asking the right questions drives the exploration and analysis of available data. In this session, we’ll dive into how to tie questions to value drivers and break down problems to ensure we’re genuinely making data-informed decisions.

  Summary  This program is for everyone who designs, facilitates, or manages online learning programs, including elearning, webinars, virtual classrooms, websites, computer- based job aids, social media, anything that involves technology – which a great deal of learning today does. It’s critical to consider accessibility, disability, and usability in online learning, because without understanding the types of assistive technologies learners may use and how to design with inclusion in mind, you may end up unintentionally excluding your learners from your training program. So in this session, we’re going to learn how to create accessible online learning, and also learn how to evaluate our existing courses for accessibility. Participants will leave with templates and resources to get started on course accessibility right away! Discuss types of disabilities and assistive technology, as well as challenges experienced by disabled learners Learn how to create accessible online learning (with practice activities!) Learn how to evaluate accessibility of existing online learning Bonus! How do I convince others to prioritize accessibility?

  HARNESSING YOUR INSTINCTS TO LEAD Applying Andragogy to Leadership Development   Summary  Presenting my new book MOVING ON BY! HARNESSING MY SLED DOG TEAM'S INSTINCT TO WIN! I will share case studies as well as tales from the trial that trainers, facilitators, and consultants will find useful to sell their services as well as inspire and develop high-potential team leaders. Follow-up workshops are available to explore and apply the Self-coaching process employing the eight case studies in the book. Participants will examine andragogical techniques to engage and guide their clients' development goals.

Specializing in client interventions, conflict resolution, and navigating organizational growth dynamics, she enjoyed six years of pre-dawn and weekend dog sledding.

  Leading Hybrid Teams     Summary  Does this sound familiar? Robbie working remotely can’t find the current process map his team is developing and when he sends an instant message and then a phone call to the team lead there is no response, so he sits and frustratingly waits. There are benefits to remote and hybrid work from the flexibility of time for life and living to managing the well being needs of self and others including child/elder care. The key to performance success with hybrid teams is to create clear expectations around communications, time frames, and shared resources and to communicate them actively among all teammates. Creating a culture of open conversations, curiosity, and trust in the intentions of everyone, regardless of location and time, is the framework hybrid teams require to work effectively and efficiently with each other. Research and our personal experience have shown trust is a key factor in team performance, and by extension, in organizational performance. As COVID-19 brought about a sudden shift to hybrid and virtual collaboration, the need for trust-building in new ways was seen. In this session we will explore how you can foster trust and develop the communication and workflow process techniques needed within your hybrid and virtual team. Learning Objectives Describe what a hybrid team is in terms of people and place Identify 5 key process techniques used in creating performance success for hybrid teams Identify 6 key questions to use in determining whether to have in-person events Describe 2 different modes of communication and 4 modes of information need that can benefit the hybrid employee Speaker Bio and Contact Information William J.
