What They Dont Teach You in KindergartenDoug Devitre
If a six-year-old can create high-quality training content and host engaging virtual sessions with their online community, you can too. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It doesn’t take years to learn. And it doesn’t take an army inside your cross-functional team to get it right the first time. All you need is a singular focus on the quality of the video feed you are inputting into Zoom, Teams, or recording for training modules. The rest seems to fall in place. This session will compare low-cost alternatives to improve your virtual delivery participant experience, reduce the time to task when creating video-based content, and have fun in the process no matter how many years you have had in the business.
Application on the Job:
Implement a virtual camera to create better video-based training content for virtual or asynchronous delivery.
List the devices and accessories needed to improve their own virtual production studio at home or the office.
Integrate a Stream Deck gaming console to help switch between sharing screen, different backgrounds, and co-browsing websites.

Although I wasn’t able to get his autograph he did let me take a picture with him and my friend Janet.
I was asked to present the Social Media Power Hour and ironically was 90 minutes. I guess they know I have so much material they decided to give me an extra 30. We still went over time, and nobody wanted to leave.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Playlists are a series of videos to play in the order that you choose on your profile page. Think of playlists like creating a CD of your favorite music to play songs in the order you want. Once you have established some playlists then you can add the chosen videos to play in your blog or website in what’s called a Custom YouTube Player instead of adding videos individually.
Adding videos one by one onto a page result in a long string of videos which the person has to click on individually. Instead add multiple videos into your website or blog by using a Custom Video Player in YouTube.

Share documents online without having to contact your website provider using a service called Box.net. Visit www.Box.net and create a profile with a username and password. This is a free application unless you start uploading several documents and want additional options to share and collaborate on documents. You can start uploading documents immediately. These can include and not limited to the following: .pdf (portable file document) .doc or .docx (Microsoft Word) .xls or .xlsx (Microsoft Excel) .ppt. or pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint) .jpg, .jpeg, .gif or any other type of picture files Once the files are uploaded they can be managed into folders. Each folder can be share documents online through email, blogs, or websites.
Once each file is uploaded it can be organized into folders which help you find files quicker and share them with others. Create and add new folders like you would with paper files at your desk. Box.net can serve as an additional backup to the documents you need away from your computer and be able to download them from anywhere with an internet connection. To the right of each file there are three options: actions, shared, and comments. In the actions menu you can: Download the file Upload a new version of the file Rename the file On the shared menu you can: Share file by email Share file by creating a hyperlink. For an example open this document http://www.box.net/shared/xungdrk721 Other services like password protecting files, sharing large folders, and mobile settings are available for an additional fee.
In order to make your files accessible on your website or blog you will want to create a widget from Box.net that your can embed using the HTML source code. This requires you to follow the same directions as Embed HTML Source Code into Blog but I recommend inserting this widget into one of the columns that appear on your blog. Check with your blog software to see how to embed widgets in the blog so that every page displays the Box.net information. Notice that the HTML source code contains the characters width="460" height="345“. This shows how tall or wide the widget will be. Adjust the numbers carefully in order to make the Box.net widget fit the right size exactly in your blog. If you can copy and paste then you can embed this widget into your blog or website.
