Leading in Turbulent Times
The Center for Business & Industry has partnered with DDI to offer award-winning leadership, workforce and customer service training to your organization! Leadership attributes needed to steer the organizational ship in perilous times differ markedly from those in more normal times, and the risk that the ship's officers have wobbly sea legs runs from moderate to very high. In today's turbulent environment, research shows that first and second-level leaders must: · Lead change. · Implement operational controls. · Make quick decisions in response to each new challenge. · Communicate effectively. · Retain and motivate talent. · Engage and empower. · Convey authenticity and build trust. · Promote innovation in processes to prepare for the future. Join Thomas Springer in this FREE three hour workshop and get a taste of several leadership topics that can help you successfully steer your company through stormy seas.

Train the Trainer
How many boring classes have you sat in during your life? Ten, twenty, one hundred, or more? Most trainers are Subject Matter Experts, but few can train. To be an effective instructor takes more than knowing your subject. You must also have instructional expertise and this is what you will learn in this one day workshop. At the completion of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify five critical learning experiences, and show how they contribute to adult learning.
- Understand the roles of the trainer, role selection, and impact.
- Link behaviors and attitudes to deliberately and consistently fulfill each role.
- Use your understanding of activity design to select the best trainer role(s) and level of involvement for the training activities you conduct.
- Understand the types of feedback and demonstrate the skills of reinforcing performance and offering improvement suggestions.
September 23, 2009 from 8AM-5PM
