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.

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

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

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.
About Your Facilitator - Jeanne Rice
With a background in corporate communications and broadcast journalism, Jeanne is an experienced coach and facilitator who works with business professionals in three critical areas of development: leadership communication, presentation skills, and executive presence. Jeanne has helped thousands of leaders from some of the world’s largest companies create powerful messages, speak with confidence, and be more influential -- whether communicating in-person or virtually. Jeanne’s clients identify, refine and polish their unique leadership qualities, especially those that inspire others, move people to action, and impact business outcomes. Jeanne began her career in the financial services industry, where she arranged speaking engagements and media tours for executives. She later worked as a field producer for CNN Business News in the Chicago bureau, and served as an adjunct professor in the School of Communication at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Jeanne holds a master’s degree in business journalism from Northwestern University. She also serves as a trustee for several environmentally focused nonprofit boards in New Jersey. She is the co-author of Brave Leaders: Finding the Guts to Make Meaningful & Lasting Change. (Advantage, 2020)
