The document introduces Monroe's Motivating Sequence, a 5-step method developed by Alan Monroe for effectively organizing presentations to motivate and persuade audiences, with each step getting the audience's attention, establishing a need, satisfying the need, visualizing the future, and calling the audience to action. It then provides examples for applying each step of the sequence to a workplace safety presentation, highlighting the problem of ignored safety standards, establishing the need to increase accountability, satisfying the need through policies and case studies, visualizing better outcomes through compliance, and calling workers to action to immediately review procedures.
As both platforms, Facebook and Twitter, grow and become more and more popular among marketers, a different number of questions arise about the impact of being present within these social media spaces on ROI, crisis management, time management, and what makes Facebook fan pages and Twitter handles successful. Use this presentation as a tool not only to create successful fan pages and micro-blogging profiles, but to persuade your boss why you should be present on these platforms and how it will affect your bottom line.

Psychological Safety and Remote Work by Matthew PhilipBosnia Agile
Over the last four years, the world has experienced an unprecedented shift to remote and hybrid work environments. This poses questions for those interested in high-performing teams, because physical distance from our teammates has created challenges to fostering and increasing psychological safety.
This talk presents original research on and explores the relationship of remote environments and psychological safety. Participants will learn about factors that impact safety in a remote environment and ways to promote safety in remote and hybrid teams, as well as implications for leadership, teamwork and generative work across all environments, in-person, hybrid and remote.
Too many companies feel like it will cost way too much money to keep workers safe. This presentation was made at the Lakeshore Safety Meeting and demonstrates how a company can decrease risk without breaking the bank

3. Is persuasion a gift?
Are some people born with the
ability to speak well and 'sell'
their ideas successfully?
4. In your role, do you
ever need to
motivate, inspire, or
persuade others?
5. Whether you're a senior
executive giving a presentation
to the Board, a manager giving a
morale-boosting speech to your
team, or a production manager
giving a presentation on safety
standards, at some point, you'll
probably have to move people to
action.
6. While there are certainly those
who seem to inspire and deliver
memorable speeches
effortlessly, the rest of us can
learn how to give effective
presentations too. Key factors
include putting together a strong
message and delivering it in the
right sequence.
8. Alan H. Monroe, a Purdue University
professor, used the psychology of
persuasion to develop an outline for
making speeches that will deliver
results. It's now known as Monroe's
Motivating Sequence.
9. This is a well-used and time-proven method
to organize presentations for maximum
impact. You can use it for a variety of
situations to create and arrange the
components of any message.
11. Get the attention
Attention Workplace safety is being ignored!
Shocking statistic Despite detailed safety standards and
regulations, surveys show that 7 out of
10 workers regularly ignore safe
practices because of ease, comfort,
and efficiency. Some of these people
get hurt as a result. I wonder how
comfortable they are in their hospital
beds... or coffins?
13. Established the Needs
Need Apathy/lack of interest is the problem
Examples and
illustrations
Safety harnesses sit on the floor when the
worker is 25 feet above ground. Ventilation
masks are used more to hold spare change than
to keep people safe from dangerous fumes.
Consequences
Ignoring safety rules caused 162 worker deaths
in our province/state last year. I'm here to make
sure that you aren't part of next year's statistic.
15. Satisfy the Needs
Satisfaction Everyone needs to be responsible and
accountable for everyone else's safety.
Background Habits form over time. They are passed
on from worker to worker until the
culture accepts looser safety
standards.
Facts Introduce more statistics on workplace
accidents relevant to your organization.
Position statement When workers are responsible and
accountable for one another, safety
compliance increases.
Examples Present one or more case studies.
Counter-arguments Safer workplaces are more productive,
even in the short term - so workers
aren't more efficient when they don't
take the time to follow safety rules.
17. Visualize the Future
Visualization Picture a safe and healthy workplace
for everyone.
Contrast method Continue the status quo (keep doing
Negative method the same thing), and someone will be
seriously injured. Picture yourself at
a colleague's funeral. You were right
beside him when he decided not to
wear his safety harness. How do you
face his wife when you know you
were right there and didn't say
anything?
Positive method Consider the opposite. Imagine
seeing your co-worker receive an
award for 25 years of service. Feel
the pride when you teach safety
standards to new workers. Share the
joy of your team's rewards for an
outstanding safety record.
19. Action / Actualization
Review your safety procedures
Action / Actualization
immediately.
I've arranged a factory tour after
lunch. Everyone is invited to join us.
Your insights will really help us
identify areas that need immediate
attention. If you're unable to attend
this afternoon, I've left some
pamphlets and business cards. Feel
free to call me with questions,
concerns, and ideas.
20. Key Points
For some of us, persuasive arguments and motivational speaking
come naturally. The rest of us may try to avoid speeches and
presentations, fearing that our message won't be well received.
Using Monroe's Motivating Sequence, you can improve your
persuasive skills and your confidence.
Get the attention of your audience, create a convincing need,
define your solution, describe a detailed picture of success (or
failure), and ask the audience to do something right away: It's a
straightforward formula for success that's been used time and
again. Try it for your next presentation, and you'll no doubt be
impressed with the results!
