  Do you understand your ethical and professional responsibility as coaches, and as sponsors of coaching? Join us for a panel discussion where we will explore the concept of Duty of Care and navigating the complexities around mental health issues in coaching.
  
  It has been estimated that 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. has suffered from mental illness within the last 12 months. Further, in a study conducted by the Congressional Research Service dated January 2018, the prevalence of mental illness amongst the U.S. adult population was estimated at between 26.2% and 32.4%. 
  
  Research in the field of coaching has found that between 25% and 50% of clients presenting for coaching meet criteria for clinical mental health, and that the incidence of personality and mood disorders is 10-15% and 20% respectively. Importantly, for those undertaking executive coaching, studies suggest that the levels of distress within executive populations are more than double those found the general population. 
  
  This raises a number of important questions relating to our ethical and professional responsibilities as coaches, and as sponsors of coaching, including:

  • Do you understand the nature of your Duty of Care as a coach?
  • How do you reflect on the limitations of your competence, and the boundaries of your role as coach?
  • Are you alert to the possibility that coaching, in certain circumstances, may cause psychological harm?
  • What ongoing education and training do you undertake in relation to the identification and assessment of mental health issues?
  • How do you recognize the red flags indicating a need for therapy or that coaching is not the appropriate intervention? 
  • What is your strategy for dealing with, and referring, in such situations, and how do you identify your personal point of referral? 
  • How do you manage such issues when coaching within an organization, which raises complex issues surrounding confidentiality?
  • As a sponsor of coaching, how do these issues affect you? How do you handle situations where there is a potential mental health issue?

  Join ATD NYC’s Coaching SIG for a panel discussion where we will explore our professional responsibility as it relates to these critical issues.

  In this webinar we'll examine how to evaluate learning programs, specifically exploring the link between designing learning content and the eventual impact on workplace performance. 
  
  How do you show the value of learning? There’s no easy, single answer because learning is complex and every organizational context is different. But some constants remain. And most agree it is about more than attendance in class or completion rates. 
  
  This webinar will put learning evaluation under the spotlight, and explore what it really means to show the value of learning. Few in the professional development field have spent as much time as Dr Will Thalheimer exploring what makes learning effective. In this webinar we'll also our focus on evaluation – how do we know that learning has taken place and transferred into performance?
  
  This new multi-level approach to evaluation is a method that ranges from knowledge building, through task competence to effective performance. We'll examine how to evaluate learning programs and explore some new, deep thinking about the links (& those lacking) between designing learning content or experiences, the eventual impact on workplace performance and what objective methods we're using to assess impact.
  
  In this webinar we'll discover:
  
  * The issue of evaluation: the difficulties and dangers
  * What real performance looks like
  * Why knowing is only the beginning of performance
  * Task competence, decision making and other key factors
  * Super-charging your smiley sheets
  * When should we be ready to certify someone as having learned anything?

  Senior leaders and talent development professionals overwhelmingly agree that innovation is a top priority and essential for success. Yet very few are satisfied with the level of innovation happening in their organizations.
  
  ATD (National)’s research on the role of training to build innovative organizations shows that innovative organizations share these traits: an innovative and committed executive team, being good at implementing change, being effective at cross functional teamwork, and having a published innovation strategy. And while our research shows a direct link between innovation and organizational success, the reverse is not always true: successful organizations are not necessarily innovative.
  
  As the demand for training on teamwork, communication skills, leadership, and change management continues, programs on innovative thinking or managing innovative teams are in the least demand and rarely offered to staff. So how can an organization change its approach to think and operate more innovatively? How can the talent development function play a key role in driving innovative thinking and practices?
  
  In this session you will hear about organizations that have made innovation a top priority, are embracing it as part of their talent development strategy, and are driving more innovation through organizational culture, change management, and teamwork. 

  About our presenter: 

  Tony Bingham, President and CEO, ATD

  Tony Bingham is the President and CEO of the Association for Talent Development, formerly ASTD, the world’s largest professional association dedicated to those who develop talent in organizations. Tony works with a staff of more than 140, a Board of Directors, and a worldwide network of volunteers to empower professionals to develop talent in the workplace.
  
  Tony believes in creating a culture of engaged, high-performing teams that deliver extraordinary results. Deeply passionate about change, technology, and the impact of talent development, his focus is on adding value to ATD members and the global community of talent development professionals. He believes that aligning talent development efforts to business strategy, while utilizing the power of social and mobile technology for learning, is a key differentiator in business today.

  Team coaching is rapidly gaining traction as a powerful tool for helping leadership teams improve performance. It has wider application however, for all kinds of teams, at all levels in an organization. Most large organizations have invested in coaching individuals. Increasingly, however, it is recognized that the performance issues of both organizations and individuals are systemic. As the bridge between individual and organizational learning, teams are the most practical unit to integrate individual and systemic perspectives, to manage the complexity of co-working, and to respond to the shifting needs of organizations. While it is not surprising that team coaching has emerged as a growing practice, experience in the field suggests that coaches are adapting approaches to meet this demand with mixed success. To step up into this considerably more complex and arguably more demanding arena, team coaches need to have a good understanding not only of coaching basics, but of team dynamics and team psychology, of collective decision making, of systems theory and a variety of other relevant topics.

  Each year organizations implement learning and HR solutions -- but with minimal performance change. Why this failure to have an impact? Often it is for two reasons: Organizations do not understand that performance change requires the active involvement of management and that it usually requires implementing multiple -- not just single -- solutions.
  

  The strategic process designed to maximize the performance of people and organizations is called Performance Consulting. Making that improvement happen is the role of a Performance Consultant.
  
  But  what does a Performance Consultant actually do? How is this different from more traditional L&D roles? What benefits do Performance Consultants bring to the learning function and the organization? 

  In her June 20 webcast, Dana Robinson will bring her extensive performance consulting experience to Performance Support SIG to answer those questions. By participating you will be able to:

  • Describe what a Performance Consultant does and why it is such an extremely important strategic function within any organization.
  • Apply the performance consulting mental model in helping clients identify and deliver needed changes.
  • Ask the right questions when responding to a solution request.

  
  

  PRESENTER INFORMATION

  Dana Robinson has long been recognized as a major thought leader in the areas of performance consulting and strategic partnering. Dana founded and led her consulting firm, Partners in Change, for almost 30 years. During that time she partnered with hundreds of HR and L&D functions as they transitioned from a tactical to a strategic focus. She is also the co-author of seven books (including the highly acclaimed “Performance Consulting: Moving Beyond Training”) and has received numerous awards.  She currently is partnered with Handshaw, leading their performance consulting service line.

  There seems to be a pervasive belief from learning & development professionals that you can’t truly measure the impact of soft skills training, yet we see organizations live and die as a result of the poor quality of decisions, service, leadership and other “soft” behaviors.
  
  The hard skills of technical, product, IT or manufacturing training appear to be more straightforward and easy to measure using tangible data and business results. However, content such as leadership, communication, diversity and team-building appear to be less tangible and difficult to measure – but in reality, they should not be any different. What’s different is the questions you ask and the expectations for behavioral application. Measuring the ROI of soft skills is doable!
  
  In an article on LinkedIn, Jack & Patti Phillips put it this way:
  

  “Soft skills programs should perform just like any other learning program. If the learning is designed to be applied, it should be applied in the work environment with an action, activity, or behavior change. If it is designed to drive business impact, then it should drive business impact which is a consequence of that activity. From the impact, the ROI can be calculated.”

  At the end of the day, soft skills are what help us achieve success. Soft skills help us to build strong, agile and innovative organizations.
  
  As a result of this webinar, participants in this webinar will be able to:
  

  • Identify the overall process for measuring ROI
  • Have a clear insight on how to isolate the impact of soft skills training

  Join us for an insightful, interactive webinar facilitated by Clive Leach, in which he will provide an engaging introduction to the application of Positive Psychology Coaching in the workplace.
  

  Drawing upon the very latest global research and his own extensive international experience as an organizational coach, working within the corporate, government and education sectors, participants will:

  1. Be provided with an overview of latest global research on the application and integration of Positive Psychology into coaching practice and the workplace.
     
     
  2. Explore the Well-being and Performance Framework
     
     
  3. Learn how coaching can build PERMAH (Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishments & Health) and optimal functioning for you and your clients.
     

  The reality is that when asked how they are most people answer “OK”. The truth is that many are neither feeling good or functioning well. Research suggests that:

  • Stress is one of the biggest causes of absenteeism at a cost of $billions annually

  • At any one time only 30% of the workforce are likely to be truly engaged

  • Retaining talent is an increasing challenge and impacts on the bottom line

  Positive Psychology has been described as the 'science of what makes life worth living'. The evidence is building that its application results in less anxiety and stress, coupled with increased levels of hope and resilience. This in turn, contributes directly to greater well-being, physical health, life satisfaction and performance in work, study and life.
  Positive Psychology is increasingly being used by executive coaches, L&D professionals and business leaders, in order to help organizations reap tangible benefits, relating to profitability, productivity, customer loyalty and satisfaction.
  

  In the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world we all live in today, investing in well-being is essential for sustaining the resilience and mental toughness required to navigate life and achieve both professional and personal success.

  Most organizations create microlearning assets to support learners when they are applying what they have learned and to act as quick reminders on mobile devices when learners are on-the-go.

  Unfortunately, our learners frequently don’t adopt this. No matter how well designed, unused microlearning is not worth the investment.

  But what if we can maximize the investment that we make in these short learning bursts while also increasing the effectiveness of our virtual training solutions? The key: focus on supporting all moments of learning need with microlearning, instead of just on-demand informal situations.

  Join us to experience and approach for crafting and delivering engaging microlearning and incorporating it into virtual classroom design. You will view examples, analyze what does and doesn’t work, and create a strategy for ensuring your microlearning content gets used over and over again.

  In addition to experiencing virtual classroom exercises delivered via microlearning, you will leave this session with techniques to help you:

  • Move away from “guides and slides” and adopt the microlearning approach to virtual classroom design
  • Make your organization's virtual classroom lessons and microlearning more valuable, immediately
  • Apply six strategies to help you support virtual learning through connected microlearning resources

You'll discover workplace trends for video segments, machine learning, performance support, voice-based coaching, chat bots, stretch assignments, virtual and augmented media, deep engagement, simulation, and gamification.
