How do you share your ideas with others? How can a leader communicate their ideas more clearly with their key stakeholders? Successful innovation and collaboration today require you to consider your audience, understand different agendas, tell stories that connect, and then get people to taking action on these shared ideas. This presentation shows you how to do this effectively.
Find Your Why For Groups - The Agile South Coast Tribe Why, Feb 2019Steven Mackenzie
In his 2009 TED Talk (and 2011 book) "Start With Why" Simon Sinek told us that when we consciously start with "Why?" we can communicate more effectively and make better choices. Understanding and communicating our organisation's "Why" becomes important in our work when we encourage autonomy for teams to make decisions because we expect those decisions to be aligned with the strategies, goals and purpose of our organisation.
Discovering and stating our purpose, as individuals or as groups, can be difficult though. The parts of our brain that drive our motivation and emotional choices are not the parts of our brain that are competent with language. This session uses a tested format to help us uncover the underlying purpose of our organisation.
The workshop format comes from the book "Find Your Why", by Peter Docker and David Mead, co-authored with Simon Sinek. It outlines 2 separate processes, for either individuals or for organisations, to understand and describe the purpose that drives them. In this workshop we will use the exercise for organisations to explore the format, using "Agile South Coast" as the organisation that we can all identify with.

Your brand voice is how you communicate to the world, and what people “hear” when they read and listen to your communications. Are you doing enough to establish a distinctive voice in your market — and how does it affect how people experience and feel affinity for your brand?
What is #ThoughtLeadership? Is it mindless self-promotion, or is it more like some fancy management fad? Is it more like your social media presence, or sharing stories? What is the real deal here? In this talk, I have shared some ideas from others, and also some of my own learning over the years. Hope you find the answers you were looking for...

Making Ideas Happen: A Strengths-Based Learning Experience
Don’t let your flash of brilliance fade away. Learn by doing in this session by taking the Appreciative Inquiry and G.R.O.W. methods out for a spin to better refine your great idea and articulate next steps to make it happen. Harness the support of your colleagues and community to bring your idea to life, and walk away with a plan to move your idea forward despite the resistance you might face.
You have attended workshops, you have seen them masterfully commanded by other people, and you really want to get a handle on doing this workshop thing yourself. This workshop is the workshop that will help you create and facilitate a workshop of your very own, in whatever workshop fashion you decide upon.
We will help you identify the path unlocking the workshop achievement in whatever platform you choose. You will learn how to plan your agenda, structure your workshop, and identify the tools that are needed to help you along the way. Preparation is only a small portion of The Workshop Workshop; you will also gain from the wisdom of the CrankyTalk Workshops to help you feel more comfortable with your material–and yourself–in front of a group of people who are relying upon you to be their guide.
There will be activities where you will experience the true nature of “trial by fire” or “getting your feet wet” (whichever metaphor you prefer). That is correct: You will be leading your very own workshop within The Workshop Workshop, and presenting your findings and results back to the rest of the workshop attendees.

Not very often do you hear children say, “I want to be a fundraiser or mobilise the resources when I grow up!” When I was younger and first making choices about my future, fundraising meant "Pluto" to me. And I am not alone. Fundraising is not something that most people have much understanding about at a young age. It is definitely not about getting donations- you’ll need to inspire passion and learn the art of asking.
Being in advancement, in this very special profession, has given me more of personal satisfaction than I have gotten in any of the other activities I have ever done in my life. It gets me up every day and happy to come to work. It doesn’t get better than that.
3 Cs of Design - Charters, Critique, and Culture - Amuse ConferenceRuss U
I’ve worked for a lot of idiot managers in my career. And then, one day, after I had become a design manager myself, it finally dawned on me: Now I’m the idiot! I had a lot of ideas about what a good manager is, how one acts, and the exact positioning of where the spotlight should land on the hero, which was absolutely supposed to be me. Thanks, ego.
Heroically speaking, I failed on many, many levels. I didn’t understand how to understand a team, and help turn their perceptions and expectations into something shared and agreed upon. I didn’t understand how to foster critique; I only knew that I was in charge of design and that I had the final say. Most of my career has been an exercise in “trial by fire” and this process worked well when I was a designer and was trying to master the art of the task flow, site map, wireframe, prototype, personas, and so on. In leadership positions, the option to go back to the drawing board or to iterate hasn't always been readily available--nor as painless to my pride and potentially my pocketbook.
The passing of time, the second and third chances that I’ve been given, and the sound advice that I didn’t want to listen to in the past have opened me up to a much different perspective. Oh, I’ve still got plenty to learn, and I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned about charters, critique, and culture of design organizations.
Within the framework of its Research Communications Capacity Building Program, GDNet produced, in collaboration with CommsConsult, a series of 7 handouts providing some guidelines for a great presentation. They cover several aspects starting from how you look and feel while presenting, and structuring your presentation, to how to make your messages effective. It also explains how to manage your information and research using social media, in addition to providing some tips for writing to an online audience, and ending with a template for leave-behind handouts.

Presentation for the Professional Women's Association (PWA) Conference at UCSB.
As a manager, our tendency is to believe we must “have it all figured out” in order to provide clear direction to our teams. But, what happens if we engage our staff in ideation and planning for our projects? This approach creates a broader range of possibilities, lifts the sole burden of decision making from the manager, and inspires ownership and sense of purpose to provide more job satisfaction among our staff. This hands on workshop will demonstrate the power of leveraging the unique talents of your team and some practical methods for bringing them together to create more robust, innovative, and diverse solutions.
