The Global Studio -- Reflective Writingerikbohemia
Slides produced by Barbara Whetnall, Academic Librarian
at Loughborough University Library.
Presentation delivered on Thursday 10 November 2016 to students enrolled on the Global Studio at Loughborough Design School.
A session plan developed for Advanced Club Leadership Training for District 70 Toastmasters 2011 Club Officer Training.
Some of the sessions include:
The effects of Club Culture
Communication Across Generations
Enhancing Leadership Skills by building a more dynamic Toastmasters Club
The main aim of this document is to guide the 25+ club officer trainers in delivering their individual sessions and so that a greater level of constancy and professionalism would be achieved in the training.
This presentation was prepared for students at Massey University, New Zealand studying the paper: Introduction to Professional and Ethical Practice in different learning contexts.
The New Normal: Learning and Collaborating in a Virtual ClassroomChristopher King
The new normal in the training industry is quickly becoming connecting and collaborating virtually. In this session, we will challenge participants’ thinking about the challenges of converting traditional instructor-led training (ILT) to virtual instructor-led training (V-ILT) and engage the audience in a discussion of best practices for design and implementation of a V-ILT program.
Virtual classrooms have been around long enough that the features of the platforms are converging. That means best practices are not only technology agnostic, but some of our suggestions include the non-technological: for instance, setting the proper expectations with both the learner and their supervisor often increases the success metrics of V-ILT and addressing the paradigm shift to the ‘new normal’ in terms of training delivery.
In this presentation we use a case study to help identify familiar parts of ILT that translate well to V-ILT. We describe a typical virtual classroom delivery from both facilitator/producer and learner perspectives. Through this examination, we set the stage to discuss the key design strategies and principles that must underlie a successful V-ILT course.
In this fast paced world surrounded by changes in technology, a well-designed engaging virtual classroom session facilitates collaboration and connection among your participants. Based on the key design principles and implementation ideas discussed here, you can lead the change in your organization to embrace the new normal: learning in a virtual classroom.
Many fear going up front to speak, present, chair, facilitate etc. more than that they are usually not organized, prepared or systematic. This kills their confidence and invariably the effectiveness of facilitation
This set of slides just adds to the knowledge and skills of facilitation. The literature is ample and the sources of such information are overwhelming too. hope this little contribution shall help the weaker presenters.

FEEDBACK REPORT 2
Feedback from teacher
The teacher said that in the text there are many words repeated we should avoid repetition of word I am 3rd year student (example I believe that , it is notable, room, This strength was measured through, ETC.. ) . as well as the point written down
The work should be more professional in order to get a first because what I received doesn’t look an assignment for 3rd year student many repetitions and sentences not connected, too many (.) and new sentence after, please everything should be connected otherwise I can’t get a first with this work impossible … AND PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THE MARK GRID FEEDBACK I POSTED TO SEE HOW THE WORK WILL BE GRADED AND CHECK THE COLLUMN THAT GIVE YOU THE GRADE OF 70+ THANKS …HERE YOU HAVE IN DETAIL THE AREAS TO DEVELOP …
THE WORK IS 15OO (NOT WITH REFERENCE AND TABLE ),WHAT I RECEIVED IS AROUND 1300..
· So…More relevant introduction about development Centre, employability agenda and feedback with REFERENCES not in first person (relevant definitions ). …. And at the end you introduce the competencies I was observing in Tom in the activities… 500 WORDS
· For the strength you should first introduce the competency with a reference then start talking about his performance … avoid this words (you should and you must ) you have to talk about what he performed In more details what he was doing etc (invent even if you don’t know )…. When you say how he should improve his score YOU HAVE TO be more detailed of how he can improve with example of that (for example using some website or videos or reading or practising online etc.and how that helps him ) not only one sentence AND DON’T USE THE SAME SENTENCE IN DIFFERENTE COMPETENCIES . DON’T BE JUDGEMENTAL PLEASE …SAYING THAT HE DID THIS NOT GOOD but in a god way … Highly appropriate and relevant examples without exception including detailed actual examples and excellent suggestions for improvement

What are some of the differences between attitudes and beliefs, .docxtwilacrt6k5
What are some of the differences between "attitudes" and "beliefs," as described in Ch. 4 of the text? Must be atleast 300 words!!!
Please use the reading material below!!
The primary message of this chapter can be summarized by the Boy Scout motto “Be prepared!” Have you ever spent an hour or two at a group or team meeting only to find out no one was ready to make a meaningful, informed contribution? Many wasted meetings boil down to the fact that group members just haven’t done their homework. GIGO is the acronym that computer programmers use for the expression “Garbage in, garbage out.” If you put poor information (garbage) into a computer program, you get poor results as output. It works the same way in group discussions.1 To achieve a quality decision, a group needs quality information gleaned from research as well as effective reasoning and critical-thinking skills.2 In this chapter we delve into the processes by which groups accomplish their work and achieve their goals. We’ll discuss how to prepare effectively for a group discussion and how to use research and critical-thinking skills to enhance the quality of the work accomplished by group members. The Greek philosopher Socrates believed that the primary goal of dialogue and discussion was the search for truth. Today, group discussion continues to be a trusted method of seeking answers to tough questions. Our legal system is based on the idea that a jury of adults, after hearing evidence and using their best critical-thinking and analysis skills, should be able to decide whether someone is guilty of a crime. In corporations, teams and task forces hammer out key decisions. Regardless of a group’s composition, goal, or context, its discussion will be more productive if group members have prepared and if they know how to critically evaluate information used to reach reasoned conclusions.3 How to Develop a Discussion Plan Imagine the instructor in your group communication class has assigned you to a group or committee, perhaps, so that you can make a recommendation, solve a problem, or make a decision. What should you do first? How would you develop a plan to get your work accomplished? What should you not do? It’s tempting for members to jump in with both feet and start deciding what to do without adequate research or preparation. The most effective groups develop a plan for accomplishing their goal. Groups are more likely to deliberate wisely and effectively if group members clarify their goals, have good discussion skills, and are motivated to do a good job.4 Suggesting solutions or making final recommendations at your first meeting is not a good idea. Effective groups prepare for discussion.5 We’ll outline the general parts of a discussion plan and then spend the rest of the chapter describing these strategies in detail. Get Acquainted with Your Group Members “Let’s get down to business,” “What are we supposed to do,” and “Get to the point” are typical statements heard at most f.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

RMD24 | Debunking the non-endemic revenue myth Marvin Vacquier Droop | First ...BBPMedia1
Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren. Marvin belicht de uitdagingen die er zijn om echt aansluiting te vinden op die markt van non-endemic advertising.

12. Wrapping Up
Each lesson begins with a slide that looks like this. It provides context by noting the
lesson’s place in the overall course. And it includes an Advance Organizer or list of the
topics to be addressed within the lesson.
3. Module Two:
Understanding Teams
Before you can focus on chemistry,
you must understand teams. Start at
the beginning by defining what
teams are and how people feel about
being on them.
Business is a
team sport.
Greg
Brenneman
The first slide in the lesson provides an opportunity for the Instructor to ease into the
topic, perhaps referring to his/her experiences, relating an interesting story or simply
indicating to the participants the importance of what is to come.
4. What Is the Definition of a
Team?
Team
Functional
Cross-
functional
Self-
managing
Concepts, like that of a “team”, can be taught using a Didactic approach, or as
illustrated here, a Guided Discovery approach that assumes the participants are
experienced and intelligent enough to arrive at a good definition with a little direction
from the Instructor.
5. What is a team?
As a group, let’s discuss your understanding and
experience of teams. What are the pros and
cons of each type of team?
Every activity slide will contain either on the face of the slide or, more often, in the
Speaker Notes certain headings to help the Instructor conduct the exercise.
These headings are:
• Purpose or Objective of the activity
• Inputs (job aids, text, etc.) and Outputs (what the participants are to achieve)
• Groupings (individual, pair, small group, whole class)
• Timing
• Materials Needed
• Step by Step Instructions
• Suggested Debriefing Questions
6. How Do People Feel about Being
on Teams?
Past experience
Forced teams
Poor launch
7. How do you honestly feel about
working on a team?
Let’s talk about how people in the group feel
about being on teams.
What makes a team enjoyable to be part of?
What actions in the beginning set the tone of
the team?
8. Why Do Teams Fall Apart?
Goals Roles
Communication Relationships
9. What makes a team fall apart?
Individually or in pairs, complete
worksheet 01: AVOID MISTAKES.
When done, you may share your
answers with the rest of the
group.
If the course includes a Participant Manual, handouts and job aids are created in such
a way that they can be incorporated into the Manual.
It’s important to design the Manual in such a way that it can and will be used when the
participant returns to the job.
10. Turn ‘n Talk
With your partner, share your answers to the
question or questions assigned to you by your
Instructor.
1. What are the most effective/important ways to
avoid teams falling apart?
2. How is this related to your experience working in
teams?
3. What questions do you need answered in order to
apply these ideas on-the-job?
It’s important to frequently relate new knowledge to the “real world” that the
participants live and work in. Exercises like this one help participants transfer new
information into on-the-job application.
11. Examples of Successful Teams
They have
commitment
They see the big
picture
They are resilient
12. What makes a team successful?
As a group, discuss examples of successful
teams. What are some factors that they share?
13. Understanding Teams
Case Study
They were both sure that the
experience was going to be chaotic
John was not sure what their goals
were
At the first meeting, she was bored
John and Clara were assigned to work
on the R&D team
What happened to make John and
Clara feel the way they do?
Why is it important to start teams on
the right foot?
14. Our Top 3 List
First, let’s brainstorm together as many details
relating to Understanding Teams as we can.
Next, let’s see if we can agree on the 3 top items
from the brainstorm list.
15. Q & Eh!
1. What kind of team works together in a single department?
2. What causes many people to dislike working in teams?
3. Irregular or infrequent meetings create problems in
__________.
4. What is a symptom of relationship problems?
5. What are some ways to build a successful team?
6. What two things are successful teams committed to?
Activity types are deliberately mixed throughout the lesson, varying based on the
number of participants (i.e. individual, pair, small group, whole class) and the type of
interaction (i.e. recall/recognition questions, application problems,
judgment/evaluation exercises). Communication, elaboration and critical thinking are
focused on just as much as the “right” answer.
16. Before we move on…
• Recall at least 3 facts, terms or
ideas from the preceding
lesson.
Summarize
• If you wanted to learn more,
where might you go or who
could you speak to?
Apply
• What questions do you have?
• What’s next?
Transition
16
Each lesson finishes the same way, with a slide that asks the participants to
summarize the lesson and to think of ways of applying what they’ve learned. To help
bring closure, the lesson ends with a deliberate Transition to the next topic, lesson or
course.
Before you can focus on chemistry, you must understand teams.
Start at the beginning by defining what teams are and how people feel about being on them.
Additionally, you need to be aware of how teams can be effective and what causes them to fall apart.
Knowing the pros and cons of teams will help you avoid pitfalls and build a strong chemistry.
Teams are described as groups of people with complementary skill sets who work on projects or activities towards common goals.
Team members are cooperative and interdependent. In the business world, there are different types of teams.
Types of Teams:
Functional – These teams work in a general area or department to support the customer needs.
Cross-functional – Team members come with different areas of expertise to complete a single goal.
Self-managing – These teams do not have much oversight as members work independently towards goals.
Regardless of the type of team a company implements, the individual team members have to work well together.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
Many people do not like the idea of being on teams.
This dread of teamwork often stems from past experiences.
Everyone has been on a team with that one person who did not contribute.
Additionally, some managers force teams on people believing that they will magically work better without taking the necessary steps to ensure that the team members will work well together and develop chemistry.
Teams that are not launched correctly have little chance of being successful.
It is important to get teams off to a positive start from the very beginning by developing relationships, inspiring goals, and defining roles.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
Declaring a group to be a team does not automatically make it functional.
All too often, teams fall apart.
There are some common causes of team downfalls which include:
Goals
Team has no input
Not clearly communicated
Easy to misunderstand
Roles
Undefined
People are not sure of responsibilities
Communication
Meetings are irregular
The communication only comes from leadership
Members do not communicate
Relationships
Competition is out of control
Cliques develop
Conflict
Knowing the common reasons why teams fall apart will help you avoid making the same mistakes in your team.
This can be done individually or in pairs. Expect perhaps 3-5 mistakes to be listed before calling time and sharing with the whole class.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
There numerous examples of effective teams.
From successful sports teams to business groups, teams are praised in the media and the workplace.
The best way to develop a successful team is to learn from the example of others.
While each team is unique, they share some common characteristics.
They have commitment – Every member of a team is committed to achieving the goal and believe in the cause.
They see the big picture – The team members are focused on the big ideas and avoid staying in minor conflicts.
They are resilient – They face adversity and find the strength to overcome the obstacles in their way.
When creating a team, it is important to build them with these ideals in mind.
ASK participants to share any personal, relevant stories.
READ details of case study to participants or create a page with the details shown below and HAND OUT to small groups.
John and Clara were assigned to work on the same R&D team.
Clara was not thrilled about working closely with other people.
At the first meeting, she was bored.
There was a short icebreaker and then a presentation about the purpose of the project.
John was more comfortable working in teams than Clara, but the first meeting left him confused.
He was not sure what their goals were or what role he would play in achieving these goals.
He and Clara had lunch after the meeting, and they discussed how disenchanted they were with the team.
They were both sure that the experience was going to be chaotic and miserable.
