  Leading in a Culture of Purpose and Learning
  

  
  

  Description: 

  Cultures that are aligned with the purpose of the organization develop confident employees leading to superior business performance. Many leaders and managers do not establish a clear, consistent, aligned culture that inspires high commitment to the organization’s purpose. Where organizational culture is key to unlocking your organization’s greatest potential, leading with respect is the key to building a culture of growth and learning.

  For many of us, personal growth has been and continues to be a priority as we work to improve our capabilities and responsibilities through our careers. It is essential, particularly in this uncertain world, to create a clear purpose and personal growth in organizations that are looking to transform to an environment of full engagement. 

  In this program, we will discover the four factors of organization culture, and take a deep dive into the leadership mindset and behaviors that catapults employee growth and learning. Leading with respect is essential to developing confident and capable employees and superior business performance. L&D professionals can use a problem solving and continuous improvement mindset as a catalyst to create a climate of learning and development. L&D professionals using this model to provide a roadmap for managers to grow the business more effectively.      

  
  

  Objectives:

  • Learn a culture model which provides a framework for purpose, leadership, continuous improvement, and business process clarity

  • Introduce behaviors of leaders who Lead with Respect 

  • Discuss approaches for maximizing the wisdom of front-line workers

  It used to be that to implement augmented and virtual reality (XR-Cross Reality) in corporate learning, you had to go BIG or go home. The cost, deployment, and device requirements meant that too many decision-makers simply went overlooked this innovative learning modality. 

  But time flies in technology. Advances in XR have come fast and furious. Simultaneously, a worldwide pandemic and social justice reckoning have increased the need for next-level virtual learning. As the technology is more accessible and research showing virtual reality (VR) training leads to improved outcomes in empathy building and inclusion, it becomes clear. At this moment, XR is not only for Learning & Development visionaries, it’s for pragmatists. 

  In this program, Brian Boyle, founder of CrossTrainer Learning and Heather Boyle, M.Ed, will overcome common objections to implementation and discuss how AR and VR as learning technologies are both practical and impossible to ignore.
