SUMMARY:How to effectively teach and present online while being cool\, calm and engaging (offered through UNON STDU)
DESCRIPTION:Wondering what a roller coaster\, raccoon\, vacuum cleaner\, and elephant have to do with effectively teaching/presenting online?  Keep reading.  \n  \nLectures that drone on and on.  Overwhelming unread notifications of online events.  Workshops that are drier than the Sahara desert and more boring than watching paint dry. We’ve all been there.  \n  \nOnline meetings\, courses\, workshops\, check-ins are never-ending. Some research shows we are spending up to 16 hours a day on digital media!  Globally\, we doubled our online content consumption in 2020.   \n  \nWe are bored\, exhausted and we’re struggling. Mental health challenges are up in most countries and yet mental health service provision is down.  \n  \nThere is hope\, however. \n  \nNotwithstanding the tremendous costs of the global pandemic\, there are hidden benefits to Covid and all that time online.  Help is in sight. Teaching and presenting online CAN (and should) be engaging\, interesting\, and impactful.   We can make a difference.  We can use tools to help us engage with dignity\, inclusion\, and impact.  And we can do all that without inducing suffering in ourselves or those we’re working with. \n  \nHere’s how.\n  \nJoin me for a series of fun\, interactive workshops where I’ll introduce you to a helpful framework and success signposts to aim for on your online journey.  The workshops will be very practical.  I’ll demonstrate a number of interesting yet simple tools and techniques that you can use right away.  \n  \nContact UNON-HR to register (for UN staff only but contact me if you’d like to chat about having a similar workshop for your organization). \n  \nDelivery: The course is divided into five sections →\n\nSelf-facilitated: Learning activities you’ll complete online\, on your own time\, before we gather in real-time (approximate time investment: 90 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: Learning activities you’ll complete online\, on your own time\, before we meet again (approximate time investment: 90 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: Learning activities you’ll complete online\, on your own time\, (approximate time investment: 90 minutes)\n\n  \nTotal learning time: 8 ½ hours \n  \nIn this workshop with the instructor\, Lee-Anne Ragan\, you’ll:\n\nDiscover eight success signposts for your online teaching/presenting\nUncover two opportunities hiding in plain sight for increasing engagement\nLearn the abysmal retention rates for the dreaded lecture and three easy things to replace them with that scale engagement and retention\nUnderstand your preference in teaching/presenting and how to be more engaging by using the S.A.K.E.© tool\nUncover the seven deadly sins of online presenting/teaching so you know what NOT to do\nDiscover your tech personality\, what a raccoon\, vacuum cleaner roller coaster\, elephant have to do with it and why it’s important to know all this\nGet a chance to practice teaching/presenting online and receive supportive feedback\nHave fun experimenting with 16 tools for online presenting/teaching that include tools for managing information\, collaborating/sharing online\, managing learning\, and teaching/presenting\nCome away feeling inspired\, hopeful and with an online resource portal full of tips\, tools\, worksheets\, surveys\, and more

SUMMARY:Tips and tools to increase your work-life balance during Covid (offered through UNON STDU)
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe global pandemic continues.    We’ve undergone a tremendous shift in the past year – striving to juggle working from home with family and personal life.  And all the while learning the technology to make that happen. \n  \nThe learning curve has never been so steep.\n  \nOur stress levels\, anxiety\, and fear have risen to all-time highs while our certainty and access to regular routines have plummeted.  Our boundaries have changed and become fuzzy.  And talk about the ‘new normal’ is rife – yet who can even remember the old ‘normal’? \n  \nWhile we’re all in this together\, our situations vary wildly\, which makes it even harder to relate to each other.  Some of us are trying to work while little ones\, with sticky fingers\, cling to us\, begging for mommy/daddy time\, while we look longingly to those who have quiet\, uninterrupted spaces to work. \n  \nAnd yet those of us who have quiet\, interrupted time suffer from deep loneliness and lack of connection\, as their parents\, friends\, and children can be counties or countries away. \n  \nMeanwhile\, throughout these challenges\, we’re told to look for “balance” in our home and work life.  It’s enough to make us dizzy with confusion\, trepidation\, hopelessness\, and more stress. \n  \nFear not.  There is hope.\n  \nWe’ve come a long way in learning how to navigate the challenges of working from home.  Let’s build on all the things you’ve learned in the past year and add to your toolkit so you’re healthier\, more relaxed\, less stressed\, and more resilient. \n  \nHere’s how. \n  \nJoin me for a two-part interactive workshop where I’ll introduce you to a myriad of simple tools to add to your toolkit.  The workshops will be very practical\, so you can get going on your continued way to wellness ASAP. \n  \nContact UNON-HR to register (for UN staff only but contact me if you’d like to chat about having a similar workshop for your organization). \n  \nDelivery: The course is divided into five sections →\n\nSelf-facilitated: There will be a couple of short tasks to complete before we meet together online (estimated time: 15 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: To help you apply what you’re learning there will be a few more tasks for you to complete on your own time before we meet again (approximate time investment: 30 minutes)\nFacilitated by the instructor: A two-hour in-real-time workshop\nSelf-facilitated: Again\, to help you use what you’ve learned\, you’ll have a couple more tasks to complete on your own time\, (approximate time investment: 15 minutes)\n\n  \nTotal learning time with the instructor: 4 hours \n  \nIn this workshop with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan\, you’ll:\n\nPut the elusive myth of work-life balance to bed for good and replace it with a healthier\, more realistic\, and practical outlook.\nAmp up your empathy for others by understanding the context of Covid and how it’s affecting us differently (you’ll be introduced to some real-life Covid “characters”).\nKnow thyself with four tools designed to uncover how you’re currently dealing with work-life balance and how you can create more relaxation and balance\, and less fear and anxiety.\nTake action with four skills designed to decrease your stress and increase your wellness – practical examples\, from bookends\, keeping up\, and speaking up to simple\, easy (and slightly weird but backed by research) tips to combat stress instantly.\nLearn how to diagnose your specific situation by using my more than\, less than\, and equal to tool.\nMap three types of stressors and where you’re at with your ‘buckets’\, in order to create a customized work-life balance plan that fits you.\nCome away feeling inspired\, hopeful\, and with an online resource portal full of tips\, tools\, and more.

SUMMARY:Learning and Development Roundtable: One size doesn’t fit all; six tools for intercultural communication and intercultural conflict resolution
DESCRIPTION:  \nHave you ever felt like a cauldron of doom was boiling when it felt like a colleague was speaking to you in Greek\, despite your very best effort to understand them?  Have you ever felt like a dog chasing its tail trying to get your message across to a so-called difficult staff person?  Or perhaps you can remember a time working in a team when things were simply not working and every minor issue felt like climbing Mount Everest. \n  \nCommunication and conflict resolution skills are central to our success at work and at home but add culture into the mix and you’ve got a real cauldron that can threaten to bubble over.   \n  \nCulture can be defined as the ‘collective programming of our minds that divides us into groups’ (G Hofstede) and when we realize it includes age\, ethnicity\, gender\, nationality\, and more then without our even being aware of it\, 99.9% of communication and conflict issues have a cultural root. \n  \nYet we ignore those roots at our peril and tend to keep doing more of whatever it is that’s not working. \n  \nThe cost of intercultural miscommunication and conflict is high.  It can: \n\nUndermine creative thinking\nDecreases individuals’ effectiveness at connecting ideas from disparate cultures (source).\nHave negative impacts on  our stakeholder’s experience\nReduce available talent\nGive us and our organization a bad name (source)\nPrevent valuable input from being heard\nIncrease prejudice and stereotyping\nPit individuals\, teams\, and organizations against one another (source)\n\n  \nAs discourse seems to grow more inward-looking and divisive … we must continue to think inclusively and globally (source). \n  \nSounds good right?  But how do we do that when resources and time are tight?   \n  \nIn this free workshop on May 26th\, with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan\,  you’ll learn six skills including:\n\n1. Discovering the surprising way your brain tricks you into making cultural mistakes and how to get around that\n2. How to identify your areas of how cultural communication and how to stretch\n3. Uncovering your tendency towards magical thinking and what to do about it\n4. Learning how to get to certainty by first dancing with uncertainty\n5. Discovering how to stay out of the ICU by using my intercultural communication and conflict resolution I.C.U. tool\n6. How identifying how you feel about conflict instantly moves you forward in your cultural communication and conflict resolution\nYou can count the workshop towards your annual UN-Mandated training (If you’re a UN staff)   \n\nRSVP using this link by May 24th.
