| 22-Feb-2010 | NSW - Advanced Facilitation Skills 1 day workshop |
| ADVANCED FACILITATION SKILLS Designed for experienced trainers who want to extend existing skills and take their training effectiveness to the next level Are you finding that your learners rely on you for all the answers? Do you have difficulty managing the behaviour of some groups or individuals? Would you like to be more successful at structured activities like games, role plays and case studies? Many trainers begin their career developing the skills to deliver instruction in a learning environment but soon look for alternatives. They begin to move towards other structured learning activities that are more learner-centred but find the skills of instruction are quite different from the skills of facilitating these kinds of learning events. Workshop outcomes You will learn how to: - Plan and navigate a facilitation learning event - Respond to unforeseen changes in group or individual behaviour and outcomes - Respond to unhealthy competition, collusion, withdrawal, domination and criticism - Manage boundaries and ensure behaviour is within limits of tolerance - Use micro skills (incl. noticing, internally processing and controlling emotions) - Use macro skills (incl. intervening, confronting, and emoting) Agenda Is it about the journey or the destination? - a Pilot’s guide to facilitation - Establishing the destination - Planning the journey Contracting for facilitation - Managing ‘client’ expectations and interventions - Engaging with participants and setting boundaries - Permission – the secret power Changing course mid-flight - Around or through the storms? - Behaviour challenges - The Magic formula Skills development - Multiple intelligences and facilitation skills development - Practicing micro-skills for facilitators - Practicing macro-skills - Structured activities with games, role plays and case studies Presented by Kevin Lohan Kevin Lohan has been facilitating learning since 1985.

| 24-Feb-2010 | ACT FREE TO MEMBER event - How do Wild Animals Learn? |
| How did a giraffe learn to bend down and stick out its tongue? What would cause a waddle of penguins to come out from their burrow in single file and politely stand in line? The Australian Institute of Training Development in partnership with Schmooze Professional Networking is pleased to announce that our first event for 2010 will be something entirely new for ACT AITD members. AITD is heading to the Zoo! In 2009 Queensland AITD members went to Seaworld on the Gold Coast and in one of the biggest events of the year were shown how animals learn and what keepers need to do on a daily basis to keep them engaged. In Canberra we don’t have well behaved dolphins or seals to learn about but we do have a wonderful collection of wild and dangerous animals all of our own. The National Zoo and Aquarium will proudly host the event and the guest speaker will be none other than one of the zoo keepers. This is an opportunity to hear how zoo staff engage with wild animals on a daily basis and how they teach specific behaviours for safety, medical and social reasons. The use of repetition, reward and enrichment is nothing new to AITD members but to hear how the techniques are applied in the animal kingdom will surely get you thinking about your own staff, adult learners and perhaps the hardest of all your partners, spouses and children! This experience is being conducted in partnership with Schmooze Professional Networking (see further details below). Schmooze members represent a broad cross section of the Canberra community including Government, business and service industries. This will be a great opportunity for AITD members to extend their networks and learn a little something about wild animal behaviours (something I am sure we have all wondered about when we see it in our two legged counterparts). As a part of the event twenty delegates will be offered the opportunity to pre-purchase tickets ($45ea) to participate in a guided walk with a keeper to look specifically at the giraffe’s ball on a stick, the penguins strange yet polite feeding ritual and many other intriguing behaviours that have been modelled through interaction and training. This opportunity is limited to only 20 delegates (1/6th of the guest list – see booking details below). As the ACT Divisional Council President I am currently extending invitations to many of the Executives in the relevant Government Departments, including Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard and others to promote AITD so make sure you come along Fees AITD members – FREE to member Non-member Fee - $55.00 ($50.00 + $5.00 gst) Non Member attending with current AITD member - free of charge Due to the venue size this event will be restricted to 120 delegates only. This is a first-in-first-served registration system and an opportunity that will not be offered again in 2010. No walk-ins will be permitted entry at the gates so book early to avoid disappointment. Timing Wednesday 24 February 2010 5.00pm registration, concludes 7.00pm Venue National Zoo and Aquarium, Scrivener Dam, Lady Denman Drive, Yarralumla If you wish to take up the opportunity to attend the guided tour (20 participants only) you also need to contact phillip@schmooze.net.au and arrange to book and pay for this separately. PARTNER DETAILS Established in 2003 by its founder and owner with a premise of collaboration between professionals, Schmooze has evolved into one of the most innovative and dynamic professional communities in the country. Schmooze offers its members and guests a welcoming and collaborative environment to foster rewarding professional and social contacts.

| 16-Mar-2010 | WEBINAR - Social Learning series. Session 1: What is social learning? |
| Social learning landscapes are achieving results in the organizational learning context that more expensive controlled learning systems have failed to deliver. By integrating social software, organizations can generate powerful learning networks which create a platform that extends from simple individual actions, to links that connect people for a common learning goal, to connecting learners with others beyond the boundaries of their current learning contexts. The Social Learning series is program of 5 webinars that aims to provide an overview of social learning in organisational contexts, while additionally providing some basic "How-To's" for setting up social software implementations.

This webinar reviews current technologies and their application in a social learning context. • What do I use and when? • Is it secure? • Guidelines for selecting appropriate tools Session 3: Designing social learning It's not about the technology - it's about the learning. • The underpinning principles of social learning theories • What sort of courses / content is most appropriate? • How do I re-configure existing content? • Do I need still need a facilitator? Session 4: Creating and maintaining social learning networks The social learning network is designed to augment group interactions and create shared spaces for collaboration, social connections and aggregated information. • User-experience design - how to apply it • How to design action-oriented processes • Building an architecture of participation Session 5: Evaluating social learning Both the formal learning outcomes and the social networking results demonstrate a significant positive impact for the organisation. • How do you measure social learning outcomes? • How do you evaluate formal learning outcomes in a social learning context? • How do to report the results to the business?

| 17-Mar-2010 | NSW FREE TO MEMBER event - Leadership for the Future |
| ‘Leadership for the Future’ The thirst for information about leadership appears to be extensive. This presentation titled ‘Leadership for the future’ should quench the thirst for individuals wanting to be better informed about developments and research in the leadership field. High-performing leaders are distinguished by two qualities – their ability to interact effectively with other people and their ability to think tactically and strategically. A multinational study by dta WORLDWIDE has found that, on average, managers are performing below the level that characterises high-performing leaders. The study analysed data from 6,320 managers and over 30,000 of their work colleagues. Using measures it had developed in previous research, dta WORLDWIDE examined leaders’ self-perceptions and the perceptions of others in interaction effectiveness and thinking effectiveness. It found that leaders’ average ratings on the two key qualities were both around 70, out of a possible 100. Previous research by dta WORLDWIDE has shown that to be an effective leader, a score of 80 and above is required. Ten competencies that make up these two key qualities were measured, including teamwork, win/win negotiating, communicating clearly and positive orientation. The competencies which were assessed as being lowest, by both leaders themselves and their colleagues, were interpersonal flexibility, problem-solving and analysing perceptively. Malcolm Dawes, Managing Director at dta WORLDWIDE will explain that the low scores are an indicator of the low importance placed on leadership in many businesses. Yet much research exists which suggests that effective leaders will return significantly better results from their people. This presentation will focus on key areas to enable leadership to be improved in businesses. About the presenter, Malcolm Dawes Malcolm Dawes is a highly respected and sought after organisational performance consultant with a keen interest in sales and leadership development. In particular he is a recognised expert in helping people understand how to increase their interaction effectiveness when managing people and situations. In 1987 Malcolm’s nursing qualifications and experience lead him into the role of Medical Representative for pharmaceutical company Sanofi UK Ltd. (now sanofi aventis). For the next eight years Malcolm held roles in Marketing, Sales Management and Training with Sanofi. In 1992 he was appointed to the position of Regional Training Manager at Innovex UK and later headed Management Development following further Sales Management responsibility, then in 2000 Malcolm was promoted to Head of Training for Quintiles & Innovex Australia/New Zealand and appointed to the Executive Management Team. The Head of Training role involved the management and implementation of a major 2 year project across 14 countries in Asia. Malcolm held this role for almost 4 years and during that time he became a client of dta WORLDWIDE, a company that specialises in the many diverse behavioural factors that produce high performing individuals who influence organisational success. He recently published research on leadership and is a member of the Australian Institute of Training & Development.

for a common learning goal, to connecting learners with others beyond
the boundaries of their current learning contexts. The Social Learning series is program of 5 webinars that aims to provide an overview of social learning in organisational contexts, while additionally providing some basic "How-To's" for setting up social software implementations.

This webinar reviews current technologies and their application in a social learning context. • What do I use and when? • Is it secure? • Guidelines for selecting appropriate tools Session 3: Designing social learning It's not about the technology - it's about the learning. • The underpinning principles of social learning theories • What sort of courses / content is most appropriate? • How do I re-configure existing content? • Do I need still need a facilitator? Session 4: Creating and maintaining social learning networks The social learning network is designed to augment group interactions and create shared spaces for collaboration, social connections and aggregated information. • User-experience design - how to apply it • How to design action-oriented processes • Building an architecture of participation Session 5: Evaluating social learning Both the formal learning outcomes and the social networking results demonstrate a significant positive impact for the organisation. • How do you measure social learning outcomes? • How do you evaluate formal learning outcomes in a social learning context? • How do to report the results to the business?

learning context that more expensive controlled learning systems have
failed to deliver. By integrating social software, organizations can
generate powerful learning networks which create a platform that

for a common learning goal, to connecting learners with others beyond
the boundaries of their current learning contexts. The Social Learning series is program of 5 webinars that aims to provide an overview of social learning in organisational contexts, while additionally providing some basic "How-To's" for setting up social software implementations.

This webinar reviews current technologies and their application in a social learning context. • What do I use and when? • Is it secure? • Guidelines for selecting appropriate tools Session 3: Designing social learning It's not about the technology - it's about the learning. • The underpinning principles of social learning theories • What sort of courses / content is most appropriate? • How do I re-configure existing content? • Do I need still need a facilitator? Session 4: Creating and maintaining social learning networks The social learning network is designed to augment group interactions and create shared spaces for collaboration, social connections and aggregated information. • User-experience design - how to apply it • How to design action-oriented processes • Building an architecture of participation Session 5: Evaluating social learning Both the formal learning outcomes and the social networking results demonstrate a significant positive impact for the organisation. • How do you measure social learning outcomes? • How do you evaluate formal learning outcomes in a social learning context? • How do to report the results to the business?

| ADVANCED FACILITATION SKILLS Designed for experienced trainers who want to extend existing skills and take their training effectiveness to the next level Are you finding that your learners rely on you for all the answers? Do you have difficulty managing the behaviour of some groups or individuals? Would you like to be more successful at structured activities like games, role plays and case studies? Many trainers begin their career developing the skills to deliver instruction in a learning environment but soon look for alternatives.
