  PNODN Workshop - The Emotional Intelligence Employee Development Blueprint

   

         David Cory

  
  

  Join us on November 6 from 4-6 PM PT for a session with David Cory.

  We now have over three decades of research on emotional intelligence (EI). Yale University has  its Centre for the Study of Emotional Intelligence. Google, Nike, Amazon and Microsoft base  their leadership development programs on EI. The World Economic Forum has listed EI as a  top-ten employment skill. And yet, the concept of EI or EQ remains poorly understood by many.  What exactly is EI/EQ and why is it so important that Organization Development professionals  know and understand why it matters to employee development and organizational  effectiveness? Research provides us with concrete, evidence-based models of EI, which allow  us to assess levels of competency (EQ) and provide roadmaps or blueprints for development. 

  Join David Cory, Canada-based coach and leadership development specialist, as he shares  with you what you need to know as an Organization Development professional for yourself and  your own career and how to best help your employees to develop their emotional intelligence  skills. 

  
  

  Learning Objectives for this Session

  • Explain what we mean by emotional intelligence and how it is foundational to the  ability to make an impact, resilience, agility and inclusion 
  • Describe one of the world’s leading models of emotional intelligence
  • Take away 5 Keys for developing EI competencies

            Kelly Gangl

  
  

  Join us on November 14  from 12 - 1:30 PM PT  for a session with Kelly Gangl  presented by TODN.

  The Global OD Competency Framework has been in place for several years. During this interactive session, we’ll discuss at a high level the components and the value we see in using this groundwork to evolve our collective knowledge. The hope is that this discussion will inspire participants to connect with the future vision of the OD work they aspire to do and the framework serves as a guide for the skills needed to achieve their desired results.

  To get inspired for this discussion, you may want to watch Dr. Chris Worley, Research Professor of Management at Pepperdine University's Graziadio Business School, address "Moving from Definitions to Action in OD": https://youtu.be/XvgnPne3oYI

  PNODN - Building meaningful collaboration to enhance an onboarding experience

       

        Theresa Dei Dzanie               Avi Anshika           Anthony Ofori-Nyarko

  
  

  Workplace collaboration is often compared to an orchestra preparing for a performance. Musicians practice with their individual instruments. When they play together, they produce a remarkable sound—surpassing what any individual could do alone (D.Meinert , 2019).

  
  During this session, we will be focusing on building meaningful collaboration to enhance an onboarding experience using the case of how Last Mile Health revamped its Onboarding process (LMH). LMH is a non profit organization with a mission to save lives in the world’s most remote communities. The Talent Acquisition team within LMH recently revamped the organization’s onboarding process due to key reasons tied to rapid growth and expansion across regions, inconsistencies in onboarding experiences, and an opportunity to automate work processes. They led this project in close collaboration with teams across various departments, country offices and the leadership team.

  
  In this engaging session, the LMH Talent Acquisition team will be presenting the Onboarding Revamp process as a case study to emphasize meaningful collaboration in the workplace. They will be using a story telling approach to share problem identification, process, and outputs that highlight collaboration in this onboarding revamp process.

  
  We hope that participants will leave this learning and engaging session with the following outcomes:

  
  1. Conducting a gap analysis through structured feedback channels and effectively incorporating trends
  2. How to be intentional about interdepartmental collaboration to achieve goals while navigating challenges
  3. Using standardization as a key for compliance and equitable experiences

  Partnership Series Workshop - Maintaining Executive Presence in a Virtual World

   

            Jeanne Rice

  
  

  Join us on December 5  from 4 - 5:30 PM PT (6 - 7:30 CT) for a session with Jeanne Rice, presented by Minnesota ODN.
  

  For professionals who routinely manage projects or processes, communicating virtually is proving pretty effective. But if your job is more nuanced — if you need to motivate, inspire and influence people — things are now a little trickier. If your ability to drive organizational performance is tied to leadership attributes like building trust, demonstrating credibility or influencing others, then your ability to “command the room” or convey your executive presence through your digital device may require extra care. This virtual program will give you the tools, practice and confidence you need to make every virtual interaction, conversation, or presentation both engaging and effective.

  
  

  Learning Objectives for this Session

  • Increased self-awareness of your executive presence online 
  • Actionable tips for effective body language and vocal elements 
  • Best practices for creating audience engagement
