  Working with different personalities, experience levels, and generational differences can make collaboration seem impossible. So how do you get buy-in? How do you help others hear what you have to say and be open to your ideas? There are no easy answers, and every situation is going to require a different approach—but I can tell you the five common mistakes people make when trying to get buy-in and how to avoid them.

  In our session filled with real-life examples, humor, and practical advice, we’ll discuss:

  • The first step to creating a collaborative environment
  • Five common pitfalls that will sabotage your attempts to get people “on your side”
  • Tips for working with different people and personalities you can start using immediately at home and at work

  Presenter: Jennifer Chapman

  Jennifer Chapman, Head of Ambition Leadership, Principal Leadership Coach & Consultant used to be a workaholic, known as the go-to person for getting things done and managing the most difficult customers or clients. But when her mental and physical health began to take a hit, she began a journey to create a work and personal life that aligned with what she valued and wanted most. Now she has the job she wants, an independent confidence from within, and the ability to bring her authentic self into everything she does at work. She’s more successful—in terms of happiness, financial security, and her ability to help others—than she’s ever been.

  Jennifer is an expert leadership coach who works with clients who want to be more confident, more authentic, and more successful. She especially enjoys helping leaders who have been promoted through functional expertise embrace their roles as people managers. She’s also married to an engineer and has lots of experience partnering with someone who has a completely different personality type!

  Join us for a very special joint networking event between ATD Greater Boston and Metro DC that is all about forging new connections based on opportunities to help one another.

  Asking for help can be daunting. We worry that we’re being a bother or asking for too much, but did you know that helping others is scientifically proven to make people happier? Tonight we will challenge you to provide others with the opportunity to be a little bit happier by asking for help and offering it in return. Come prepared with a simple request that you can make and an open mind about the skills you have to offer. You will use these conversations to build new relationships across both chapters – you never know who can help!

  We encourage you to work around concrete requests such as, “I’d like to do an informational interview with someone at a biotech company.” or “I’d like some feedback on my LinkedIn profile.” or “I’m looking for beta readers for a book I’m writing.” Pick something that showcases what is new and exciting for you right now and will help people get to know you.

  We may not be able to hand out business cards, but we can still trade LinkedIn urls. Learn how to customize yours here: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/topics/6042/6054/87

  Storyboarding. In today's fast-paced Snapchat, TikTok, Marco Polo world, why bother? Anyone with a smartphone can make a video, right? So who needs a storyboard, and why take the time to create one (especially if drawing is not something that comes naturally to you)?

Bring your pens and pencils, sticky notes, and blank paper, and be prepared to have some fun!

  In this session, delivered by Profit First certified coach, Carrie Donatelli, we will learn how to transform a business from a cash-eating monster to a money-making machine. Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz, in his book Profit First, has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Attend this session to learn about the Profit First cash and profit management system, and take away the initial steps you need to take your company to the next level of success and profitability! At Profit First, we have a mission to Eradicate Entrepreneurial Poverty!

  Making ADDIE more Agile. ADDIE is a product of mid-20th century industrial thinking. At the time of its creation, it was appropriate and needed. But by the 80s, practitioners already knew the weaknesses of this waterfall-style method, suffering from the same challenges confronting software projects. “Some of the things that we learn invalidate our design and we must backtrack,” says an article in the journal IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. Every day you should be learning something new about the project you’re working on (or you’re not really trying!). ADDIE doesn’t adapt to this kind of velocity in modern life. Enter Agile Software Development – a strong reaction to the constraints of the waterfall-style software project, and if you didn’t notice, currently taking over the world…because it works. This session will take a deep dive into Agile principles and discover how to adapt these principles to Instructional Design. We will discuss the alternatives to ADDIE; key concepts from Agile that make learning design and development better; and examine hits and misses with a case study of adopting Agile instructional design with a federal client. Event Raffle. Chris King is offering a one-hour webinar delivered by Chris King himself to a team or organization. The topic can be selected from any one of his organization’s twelve core CEEK A Better Way topics. Please request a copy of the brochure by email (cop_instructional_design@dcatd.org).  A book on the topic will also be raffled.

  Speaker:  Chris King

  Chris King puts 25 years of experience behind his title of Chief Learning Provocateur at CEEK, where he creates learning that actually improves performance and changes workplace behaviors. He fully embraces CEEK’s unofficial mission: to rid the world of zombies in the workforce. With credentials that include PMP, Certified ScrumMaster, 5 Moments of Need® Designer, and a LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® certified facilitator, Chris brings additional viewpoints to the typical approach to learning development. Not long ago on a DHS contract, he and his team of ISDs adopted Agile instructional design and used it to successfully deliver several courses to the client. He shares his experiences regularly at ATD, Training Magazine, and Learning Guild conferences. He serves on the Executive Board of the Training Officers Consortium as the Chief Technologist. On top of all that, he is also a dad, husband, musician, and outdoorsman.

  Where does an employee’s sense of psychological safety come from? The answer isn’t “from their interactions with their L&D department”. Psychological safety is created and lost in the environment in which people do their work, and as learning and development professionals we naturally operate outside of that environment. So, what is it that we can do from our peripheral vantage point to enhance the feelings of psychological safety within the teams and organizations that we support?

  Join us for an interesting and engaging session on strategies and tactics for enhancing psychological safety in the workplace.

  Do you record voiceover for your eLearning and other talent development projects, but worry about how you sound? Are you interested in doing your own voiceover, but you're intimidated about how to get started? While there's a whole lot to the voiceover industry, there are plenty of simple ways to jump into recording audio for your projects or improve what you're already doing! This session will cover the basics of recording quality voiceover for eLearning and other TD projects.

  Presenter:  Julie Waters

  Julie Waters is a voice actor in Northern Virginia. She does voiceover work across many genres, including commercial, political, corporate, and eLearning projects.

In this session, we will discuss the basic concepts of Human Performance Improvement (HPI.) Using the guiding principles from Robert F. Mager “What Every Manager Should Know About Training,” we will breakdown six guidelines every consultant needs to know to sell the concept of improving performance and why it doesn’t always mean training.
