April 1, 2016 - General Meeting
Presenter: Larry Trunfio, OMB/HRM - Statewide Training and Organization Development
Topic: Facilitation Skills for Meetings
Effective continuous improvement efforts involve collaboration – and collaboration usually means meetings. Too often, however, those meetings produce little results and last much longer than needed. Ineffective meetings can lead to frustration and discouragement on a team. So what can you do? One of the best ways to improve the quality of those meetings is to improve the quality of the facilitation.
This interactive session will focus on a few basic tips and skills for successfully facilitating group meetings. We will discuss the role of facilitators and the qualities that make them successful. We will review keys to planning and designing facilitations that maximizes the involvement of participants and produces the desired outcomes. We will also touch on some best practices for addressing distracting behaviors and ensuring that your meetings stay on task.
February 5, 2016 - General Meeting
Presenter: Mike Rudis, DHSS/Public Health - Office of Performance Management
Topic: Getting your Quality Inprovement Initiatives Off To A Great Start
Too often teams created to carry out quality improvement efforts spend too much time and valuable resources trying to figure out what it is they are supposed to do. A Team Charter is a tool that can help those teams clarify their purpose from the start, define how they will work, gain the support and resources they need, and monitor their progress towards success.
Mike Rudis from Public Health’s Office of Performance Management and his team of trained facilitators have used team charters to initiate and manage quality improvements efforts in their division for several years. During this workshop, he will share his knowledge and experiences on what a team charter is and how it can help a team be successful. He will explore best practices on creating a team and outline the key elements of an effective charter. He will also talk about how to put that charter into action – using some real life examples of what works as well as challenges you might face.

February 1, 2013 - General Business Meeting/Training
Training Topic: Building a Culture of Excellence
Presented by: Bill Blackburn, CDR, USN (ret), is the founder and President of Blackburn & Associates, LLC, a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, and an Affiliate of Academy Leadership
Cost: FREE Minutes
This 90 minute presentation/workshop will look at what it takes to create a leadership culture so that your organization reliably delivers exceptional performance/results. How is it that some leaders inspire employees so that they are fully engaged and committed to the goals of the organization?
For 12 years Academy Leadership has been helping organizations develop leaders who inspire teams and deliver results. A critical first step in creating this culture of leadership is a written leadership philosophy that lets people know what you expect, what you value, how you'll act and how you'll measure performance. This clear statement makes the workplace less stressful and more productive. And, like a compass, it helps keep you, the leader, on course.
Join us for this dynamic and interactive discussion in which you will learn:
-
the personal benefits of developing your leadership philosophy;
-
the difference it makes for your people;
-
the process for creating your personal leadership philosophy; and
-
how this can serve as a foundation for creating a culture of
purposeful leaders who "walk the talk."
