How to really engage people for lasting listening, light-hearted learning, can-do, collaboration, and clever creativity at this month’s Learning and Development Roundtable

I get it.  You’ve worked really hard while shedding some blood, sweat, and tears to become the subject matter expert you are.  You’ve got important work to do, critical meetings to convene, and key stakeholders to collaborate with.  But the very people you want to engage with are:

• Skipping your meetings
• Zoning out
• Ignoring your emails
• Not participating
• Giving you zero feedback
• Engaging in ways that are confusing, unproductive, and/or unhelpful

You’re exasperated, fed up, lost, and overwhelmed.

You’d like to turn things around but it feels like pushing a massive boulder up a huge hill or walking, parched, through the desert … or both.

Afterall, engagement, when done well, is quite the elixir.

You’d realllllly like some more engagement because engaged staff are more creative, less absent, healthier, more satisfied, more productive, communicate more,  and tend to stick around longer. Source: Lumapps.

So let’s get you your fill of that engagement elixir.

In this free workshop on November 17th, with me, Lee-Anne Ragan,  you’ll:

• Unwrap three filters that can either stop engagement in its tracks or get things back on track
• Learn a little neuroscience and discover how and why to avoid the “puff and stuff” trap that everyone falls into, which actually works against engagement
• Uncover the simple, surprising engagement super power that’s hiding right under your nose
• Dive into the science of motivation, using six ways to increase engagement
• Learn three simple engagement tech tools each to boost collaboration, enhance learning and amp up creativity 
• Count the workshop towards your annual UN-Mandated training (If you’re a UN staff) (but know that you don’t have to be a UN staff to attend, any and all are welcome)
