  It’s one thing to be an effective trainer in a live conference room setting. It’s an entirely different thing to keep learners attentive and engaged when working virtually.

  It’s not just learning how the virtual platform works. That’s the easy part. The real issues are (1) getting people to want to focus and participate and (2) communicating well using the technology so that what you say is heard and understood.

  In this practical session, we will explore the skills and techniques it takes to facilitate learning effectively in virtual settings, including

  • Getting comfortable in the virtual training environment
  • Engaging learners you can’t see
  • Framing the training with clear expectations and learning objectives so that learners understand why they should participate and how the training applies to the work they do
  • Creating the conditions for a fruitful exchange of ideas
  • Using video productively
  • Delivering visual aids effectively
  • Setting up and debriefing online activities
  • Facilitating fruitful interactions with attendees
  • Incorporating virtual platform tools to advance learning

  Presenter

  Dale Ludwig is the Founder and President of Turpin. Over the past 26 years, he and his partners have developed methodologies that challenge much of the conventional wisdom in the field. Working with presenters, facilitators and trainers, Turpin’s work (1) focuses on The Orderly Conversation® that must take place, (2) acknowledges the Default Approach that every presenter and facilitator brings to that process, and (3) helps communicators develop the skills they need to engage listeners in a productive interaction. Dale has a PhD in Communication from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a frequent blogger and is the author of the white paper “Getting Past 101,” which can be downloaded at www.turpincommunication.com.

  Greg Owen-Boger is the Vice President of Turpin. Schooled in management and the performing arts coupled with an entrepreneurial spirit, Greg brings a diverse set of skills and experiences to the organization. He joined Turpin in 1995 as a cameraman and quickly worked his way up. He now serves as a communication trainer and coach for Turpin’s largest clients. He was the 2015 President of the Chicagoland Chapter of the Association for Talent Development. Like Dale, he is a frequent blogger and makes guest appearances at www.PresentationXpert.com. He is among many thought leaders who contributed to Master Presenter: Lessons from the World’s Top Experts on Becoming a More Influential Speaker.

  As we reflect on 2020, we can definitely say it has been extraordinary. We’ve seen our world turned upside down and we have had to face challenges with determination, strength, and flexibility in our workplaces and personal lives. Within these extraordinary times, we’ve seen remarkable resilience against odds, innovation in the way we do business, and gracious leadership.

  It's the optimism in all of this that sets the backdrop and tone for this conference.

  This event bring together stellar speakers that are leaders in their area of expertise. Throughout the conference, you'll have opportunities to learn more about:

  • Building personal resilience and staying centered
  • Building organizational resilience within a remote workforce
  • Emerging as a leader
  • Reimagining the approach to workplace learning
  • Enhancing collaboration using the power of mastermind groups
  • Navigating through change during these uncertain times

  There will be plenty of opportunity to network and connect with other attendees via our virtual platform. We are also featuring two special Personal Trust Networking  (PTN) sessions with Matt Elwell - one on Monday, November 16th and another on Tuesday, November 17th.
