Our twice-monthly MindShare meetings provide participants a rich environment for sharing professional experiences and challenges. This gathering of seasoned consultants and seekers, internal and external helpers and managers forms the core of how we support each other in building our community of practice across change disciplines and career situations.

People trade ideas and learnings with each other as we focus on the challenges individuals bring to the table. Coaching, mentoring, introducing different perspectives and reframes, all play their role in making these gatherings exciting and beneficial to all who come.

At our September 3 MindShare, we engaged around the current turmoil and future uncertainty of our times. Our increased sense of urgency and our ability to see the systemic injustices of our surroundings led us to consider how we can learn to engage with people who see the world differently more effectively than we ever have in the past.

Hearing each other’s stories and different voices energizes us and builds relationships that extend beyond the “room.” Please join us on the first and third Thursdays of each month. All are welcome!

With face-to-face meetings at a halt, you are likely wondering how you can convert your in-person trainings and interactions into virtual experiences. Organizations must now level-up and offer new and creative ways to engage, train, and develop their workforce virtually. The modern workforce demands personalized experiences that are interesting, accessible, and available anywhere, on any device.

Isn’t this just converting existing in-person content into webinars?

No! Experiential Virtual Learning is different because it doesn’t just deliver knowledge through lecture, videos, and written content. It requires participants to take action, experiment, and apply what they have learned – establishing lasting behavior change. When used in combination with a variety of methods such as gamification and micro-learning, participants stay engaged and motivated. This kind of learning can be applied to all kinds of content, and works especially well for “soft skills” training, HR, and OD interventions.

Join this session to see the experiential virtual learning approach and how it can be implemented with or without a technology platform. In this enlightening and interactive session, attendees will:

• define Experiential Virtual Learning
• review design methods used in Experiential Virtual Learning
• practice converting classroom content into virtual experiential learning
