The document provides tips for personal technology wellness, such as protecting sleep, taking breaks from technology, and organizing mobile phones to avoid overuse.

The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Linking Self-Care and Wellbeing to Impact Beth Kanter
This session is about how and why it is important to treat self-care and well-being as an organizational strategy and cultural norm. When self-care initiatives are treated as “extras” instead of being built right into the fabric of an organization’s culture, they are nothing more than a Band-Aid, barely disguising the underlying chronic stress and eroding the nonprofits ability to meet its mission. This session will share the latest thinking on well-being in the nonprofit workplace based on the presenter's book “The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout.” Going beyond a narrow focus on physical health and wellness, the session will share examples and insights from nonprofits that have created and implemented a culture of well-being in the workplaces that supports results.

Workplace learning loses unless we engage learnersBert De Coutere
In today’s workplace, we support our employees to be engaged and active learners. In a constantly changing business environment, constant learning makes our careers and our businesses future-proof. The reality however is different from the dream: in today’s workplace we are busy being busy, and learning loses out - often unintentionally. In this session for anyone involved in corporate learning, we will together: - assess the reality of today’s workplace learning: - explore the bad habits and biases that stand in the way of learning more: - get inspiration to set up experiments to engage our learners for action.

Time Management & Worklife Balance training coursewulston alderman
I recently delivered this training course to an organisation to address Time management and Worklife Balance. It was well received and met with some interesting results.
One tip is to create a mind-map of the things you enjoy doing – and see where they cross over with your current responsibilities. “If you value targets but lack these at work, you will quickly become disinterested. In this situation, you could try introducing your own goals to keep you on track,” explains LaRue.
Likewise, if you enjoy working in a team but your current role requires you to work alone – set up regular interaction with co-workers to make your job more social. You’ll find making small changes to the way you work, and playing to your strengths, will make you feel much more satisfied in your job.

There’s no existing playbook for what we are experiencing
Right now, people all around the world are asking:
“What will we look like after all this?”
“What will our new world services be?”
For some people and organisations, the next six months will be the turning point that helps them clarify their vision and build a better future for their organisations and the communities they serve.
For others, it will be a chaotic time that sets them back or sees them close.
Now is the time to make the changes that are long overdue – as well as imagine what the new world will need you for.
It’s time to design the new playbook, together.

The Great Training Robbery – Protect Your Online Training InvestmentHuman Capital Media
Delivering learning to employees is only the first key step in improving performance. Employees have to retain the gains in knowledge and skill or the time, energy and effort that went into the program were for nothing – wasted.
The challenge for many organizations and professionals is that we focus so intently on developing employee learning resources, we overlook the importance of whether our employees retain any of what they learn. As it turns out, the combination of microlearning and the ongoing reinforcement of lessons learned is crucial to increasing the ROI of your training program.
Recent research is helping us learn more about exactly what reinforcement methods really work, and why. Understanding how to extend the learning process and shift employee training from being a series of events to being an ongoing process is vital to promoting ongoing learning in your organization and getting real behavioral results.
In this session, Dean Pichee, CEO of BizLibrary and veteran in the employee training industry, discusses microlearning, “the forgetting curve”, and methods, techniques and tools (including video) that can reverse the forgetting curve and lead directly to much higher returns on investment and result in improved performance.
You’ll leave this webinar with actionable steps to protect your training investment and increase the overall performance in your organization.
Key Learning Objectives:
Why Microlearning makes the biggest impact
Learn about the forgetting curve, and the impact it’s having on your organization
Understand the importance of post-training reinforcement and how to incorporate into your training program.
Get actionable steps to improve your ROI for employee training.
The future of work is remote — meaning a continuation of digital meetings. Collaboration tools may be user-friendly but learning to effectively lead a meeting in a digital environment requires a new way of thinking and preparing.
Insight virtual training experts Michele Snead and Jill Blasey-Ciociola prepared this presentation to help employees, teachers and coaches conduct more effective virtual meetings.
This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
