  PRESENTER
  Dr. David Paredes

  DATE AND TIME
  May 14, 2021 at 8:00AM

  PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

  There are numerous triggers of anxiety at work.  Learning and development should not be one of them; however, employees may feel overwhelmed by the prospect of selecting the right learning opportunity from a seemingly countless number of options.  As L&D professionals, we can help reduce the anxiety brought on by the amount of choice, if we:

  • Challenge self-perceptions of learning styles
  • Educate employees on learning terminology
  • Align time commitments and assessments with employees' goals and availability
  • Capture feedback on learning opportunities
  • Provide best practices for learning in different instructional modalities

  BIOGRAPHY
  

  Dr. David Paredes is an Adjunct Lecturer in Purdue University's Learning Design and Technology graduate program.  He has over 20 years experience in the field of corporate learning and development.

  PRESENTER
  Mike Faber

  DATE AND TIME
  June 11, 2021 at 8:00AM

  PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

  Professional (formerly known as "Soft") Skills are the bedrock of great leadership and value-added learning and development.  Without these skills, TD experts can fall victim to training to numbers rather than empowering people.  Mike Faber is the Director of Learning & Development at Fivetran, and has worked in the L&D field for three decades.  In his presentation The 5 Professional Skills Every TD Professional Needs, Mike highlights why these skills are critical to corporate training professionals.  As a benefit to attending this workshop, you'll walk away with tangible action steps that you can take to improve in each of the five key professional skills.  To practice what he preaches, don't expect a slide-heavy monologue from Mike!  This will be a working event, with the chance to share your own experiences in a collaborative, engaging discussion.
