Speakers & Presentation Topics
(Bios Further Below)
Paul DePalma with "Liberating Structures"
Conventional interaction structures can be too inhibiting (presentations, status reports and managed discussions) or too loose and disorganized (open discussions and brainstorms) to creatively engage people in shaping their own future. Liberating Structures are techniques to engage groups to achieve objectives in an effective and meaningful way. We’ll review many of the structures, share some examples of positive experiences, and experience how the techniques might work for you.
Peggy Jackson with "The Power of Group Mentoring"
Mentoring has been a hot topic in leadership development for decades but has produced mixed results. One type of mentoring—group mentoring—has the potential to more consistently create the type of impact often sought in mentoring programs. This session will cover benefits of group mentoring, pitfalls to avoid and best practices to help make group mentoring a powerful part of an organization’s leadership development portfolio.
Zeynep Portway with "Succession Planning: Tools & Tactics for Successful Implementation"
Succession planning done right will have tremendous positive results for the organization. This session will explore the different perspectives and tools that can be used to have a solid and long-term plan. Will also talk about the tools to measure success and the data that can help steer in the right direction.
Jonathan Pugh with "Belbin Team Roles"
With people spending an increasing amount of time working on various types of teams today, team effectiveness has become more important than ever. But what makes some teams more successful than others? This session will review each of the nine Belbin Team Roles and how team role mapping can be accomplished using the Belbin Team Roles Inventory (BTRI) assessment. Results and interpretation from an actual BTRI report will be included.
AdventHealth (Clayton Alves, Josh Mixon, & Jennifer Crowell) with "A Success Formula for Change: Leadership Engagement"
We are all involved in change in some way, and we know change doesn’t come easy. As leaders of change, masterfully engaging leaders is essential. Not just any leader, the most influential leaders are needed for driving change. This session provides a formula to successfully implement a change initiative by aligning leadership, so they will sponsor the change and provide insights into the change strategy. Our formula includes the following imperatives: identification of influential stakeholders and partnering with senior executives who will serve as project sponsors and change leaders.
