  Collaborating with Ease and Laughter

  Presenter: Akshay Sateesh

  Learning Objectives:
  

  • Learn to accept others and challenge your perception of them
    
  • Heighten your awareness of yourself and other using your eyes, ears, and body
    
  • Communicate with authenticity to build trust and share ideas freely with others
    

  
  It's more fun to work with others if they don't judge you or your ideas. Collaboration is highly sought after but there isn't a single set of rules to make it happen. 
  
  In this highly interactive workshop, you will learn why using tools from Improvisation Theater can help you break down barriers and get to the fun part of creating and collaborating with others. Heighten your awareness of yourself and others, enabling you to be open to new ideas and share your own ideas freely and confidently: all while laughing and having fun! This session will truly make Wednesday the best day of the week. Come join Akshay and other ASTD members and guests for this exciting chapter meeting.

  Getting to Behavioral Change: Accountability and Level 3 Evaluation

  Presenter: Maureen Orey, CPLP

  Individual behavioral change is one of the keys to sustainable organizational change.  In the simple view, there are three factors to managing change: the organization, the manager and the individual. Organizations need to have effective systems in place to support change; the Manager must monitor, reinforce and empower employees to change. Individuals need to accept their personal responsibility to be accountable for their actions.  Using a client case scenario, this session will explore the systems and processes an individual must implement to crystallize the transfer of learning, and positively impact level three evaluation.     

  
  

  Maureen Orey, facilitates a lively and highly interactive learning experience.  Through small group discussion and large group debrief, participants will be able to: 

  • Define the organizational systems needed to support behavioral change
    
  • Identify the role of the manager to empower action
    
  • Explore the five key factors to individual accountability
    
  • Relate a client case study that illustrates a successful level three evaluation
    

  
  

  Schedule: 
  

  • Registration & Networking 11:45 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Chapter Meeting 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
