AGENDA

Bright Idea Exchange | Conference Closing 12

In this energetic 45-minute virtual workshop, Laura Eiman (a 67-year-old gold medal Olympic weightlifter, a Navy SEAL certi ed mental toughness coach, and a successful entrepreneur endorsed by Oprah, Barbara Walters, Rachael Ray, Kathi Lee, and Hoda) will share how she changed her life around. After decades of dysfunction, at 48 years old Laura started studying the mindset of the Navy SEALs. After applying what she learned from the SEALs to her own life, Laura developed a mental toughness mindset. With her new mindset, Laura began training to be an Olympic weightlifter at the age of 64. Practicing her mental toughness program, Laura became a champion going on to win a gold medal at the Pan Am Games. Using her mental toughness skills, she launched a business in her spare bedroom (knowing nothing about business!) that quickly garnered endorsements from media luminaries including Oprah, and showcased in seven national women’s magazines. Laura is an ordinary person, now doing extraordinary things because she got mentally tough. Laura would love to show you how it's never too late to transform your mindset to show you how you can win your own gold medals. Key Session Take Aways: Delete toxic emotions and replace them with a “solution-based” mindset Think like a Navy SEAL in order to develop resiliency, get and stay motivated, and avoid burnout Develop the habits of Olympic athletes to successfully navigate the workplace Discover how to “adapt and go” in a constantly changing work environment Learn how to 20x your potential at work and become indispensable to your company

DR. CAROL GRAVEL, CPTM MANAGING DIRECTOR & PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT | BINNACLE: NAVIGATING 21ST CENTURY TALENT & LEARNING

Design thinking is a key tool that your training organization should be using to address the changing business needs of your current and future workforce. By adopting this agile, solution-based methodology, you’ll learn to deeply understand the problem(s) at hand, and arrive more quickly at innovative solutions, all while continuously gaining buy-in from key stakeholders. Because design thinking is a form of human-centered design, this methodology offers you a framework for addressing training needs while also considering the learner’s experience. This highly interactive half-day master class will prepare you, as a learning manager, to use design thinking as a key tool for diagnosing business problems and managing the design and innovation of learning solutions at your organization. During this master class, we will define design thinking, discuss why it’s a valuable tool for training organizations today and practice how to apply design thinking within your organization.

BRUCE TULGAN LEADERSHIP AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT EXPERT

IT’S OKAY TO BE THE BOSS: LEARN THE PROVEN BEST PRACTICES OF HIGHLY-ENGAGED MANAGEMENT Most managers spend a lot of time communicating with their direct-reports, but their communication is too often lacking in structure and substance. As a result, problems hide below the surface, until they blow up, and then everyone has to jump into firefighting mode. That’s why so many managers are stuck in a vicious cycle of undermanagement. In this program, Bruce Tulgan shares how to develop highly-engaged management, drawing on decades of workplace research and shares true stories from real managers. With a blend of humor, insight, and concrete best practices, Bruce helps managers confront their own bad habits and teaches leaders a step-by-step approach back to the fundamentals of highly-engaged management that anyone can put into action.
