How can you deliver a group presentation in a large room?
As with any presentation, consider every part of your time on stage, including how you and your information will be presented. Do not be that presenter who reads their slides! Less is more no matter how many people are in the room. However the bigger the room, the more the screens may be used to literally show you. If that is the case, take that into account, will it be a split screen or cut away or something else. The goal is to connect and engage with the audience so ponder these aspects as they will impact how you are viewed. Don’t forget in a big room you need to make sure the fine on your text is big enough to read in the back of the room, so check it.

How do you incorporate adult learning principles and instructional design models in your presentations?
Success with adults as a keynote or in a training environment all center around timing. What I mean by that is the need to know you can only get their focus for no more than 50 minutes at most before you have to change things up, find variety in what you do or otherwise allow the audience to break and reset so they can best retain your expertise and the knowledge you are providing to them to grow and learn after you are done for the day.
-
How do you use humor to reinforce your key messages and call to action?
There is nothing better than knowing your audience and pointing out the humor in their world, incorporating it into your main points and getting both the laughs as well as the nod of the head in agreement. Things like in an HR audience suggesting you know how your COO looks at you: a cost center, a fixer and a shrink. These amusing comments make ideas more sticky and more memorable for your audience.

It goes without saying that no program, project, training, or job should exist unless it furthers - directly or indirectly - the mission, vision, and goals of your organization. This presentation will help you understand how to integrate the human capital needs and objectives of your internal business partners with your HR goals and objectives and test them against the mission, vision, and values of your organization. We'll do this, in part, through applying a SWOT Analysis to test and assess a candidate's background and qualifications against the hiring department's Strengths, such as staff capabilities needed, and Weaknesses, such as risks to avoid; and to identify and pursue external Opportunities, such as taking pro-active steps to support legislation to improve the organization's ability to acquire the needed background information, and identify and learn how to avoid external Threats, by monitoring the legal environment that restricts our ability to obtain appropriate information to assist your major business functions' abilities to integrate their activities and human capital needs with the Organization's Strategic Plan.

Peering outside of your office, the CEO and CFO in organizations today are becoming increasingly concerned about cybersecurity and the challenges that go far beyond what a CIO can control. Issues surrounding organizational electronic data, how to safeguard the “secret sauce,” and how to ensure that there is no interruption in services or revenue generation have become part of the nightmares that wake up even the most discerning C-Suite officials.
Today’s HR professional must understand and grapple with the real world pressures related to this complex and ever changing issue in order to support and design the tools necessary to carry out the goals of those leading their organizations. To succeed in this technology driven environment where information is created exponentially, merely revising existing policies is not the answer. Nor is precluding the use of personal devices at the office. The Internet of Things and the ubiquitous nature of technology in the workplace requires HR to immerse itself in the issues raised by the CEO and CFO.
Please join Louis R. Lessig as he explains the essential ways that HR professionals should approach cybersecurity issues to provide a stronger level of confidence from the C-Suite in the activities of the organization as a whole. -

For almost two decades employers of all sizes and industries have addressed harassment in the workplace similar to one another, careful to hit the critical areas to be able to argue that appropriate and effective harassment training had taken place not only with supervisors, but also with rank and file employees. In part this was done because, if the same employer was sued for harassment there was a defense that could be mounted based on the very program that had been conducted. Even in a down economy, harassment training continued to ensure that an employer could make the argument that effective training had taken place.
But was that training truly effective? Recently the EEOC charged a select task force to determine, in part, the answer to that very question. The result was an almost 90 page report which asserts that the methodology being used by most employers today related to training in this area is not just ineffective, but lacking components necessary to address the larger harassment issues that exist today. So what is an organization to do now in order to preserve its defenses, properly train employees and remain ahead of the curve in this area?
Please join Louis R. Lessig as he answers this question, discussing the evolution of the training employers provide, breaking down the major points raised by the EEOC, and providing options to address the latest recommendations in harassment training. -
