Time and Priority Management

<h2>Storytelling</h2><p>This targeted virtual session will guide presenters and salespeople how to use compelling anecdotes, case studies, analogies and real-world examples that are engaging, memorable and persuasive, in order to enhance their communication. Participants will discover what story format to use when; how to collect, create and craft stories for optimum effectiveness; and explore the best ways of delivering their stories for the largest impact.</p><h3>Learning objectives</h3><ul><li>Understand why storytelling is a powerful way of presenting ideas</li><li>Know how storytelling bypasses the conscious mind, speaking to the unconscious mind</li><li>Be able to structure an emotive story</li><li>Know how to take the audience on a journey using storytelling techniques</li><li>Have strategies to create stories that get their point across</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3><p>A story is told to set the scene. What makes stories powerful? Welcome, objectives, agenda</p><h3>Why tell stories?</h3><p>The neuroscience behind storytelling. What the brain tells us about how information is transmitted via stories and the role of storytelling in history. How we're hardwired to respond to stories.</p><h3>Stories in action</h3><p>Volunteer participants share a short personal story via microphone or video. The facilitator highlights some of the strategies and techniques used. We build storytelling skills unconsciously - part of this session is about making some of them conscious and using them in business to achieve the best results.</p><h3>Storytelling techniques</h3><p>Building on the previous exercise, the facilitator shares different storytelling methods. Working through ones including hero v villain and Cinderella (or cumulative three), participants consider how the stories might be used in their roles. How can they use the techniques so they seem natural and fit in the presentations without seeming forced? Participants have a short time to begin structuring a story with one or two volunteers sharing them with the group.</p><h3>Using storytelling for data</h3><p>Bringing data or information alive by telling stories to provide insight. Facilitator shares key tips.</p><h3>Action plans and next steps</h3><p>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person writes a short story of how they will apply the learning in the 'chat' space, which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.</p><h3>Close</h3>

<h2>Change Management</h2><p>To achieve continuing success, organisations need to change to keep ahead of the competition, take advantage of the rapid development of technology and meet customers' expectations. In an agile environment, change management is even more important because of its iterative nature, its impact on readiness and culture and the increased churn. Managers have an important role in initiating and implementing change, innovation and continuous improvement. This practical virtual session focuses on the strategy, implementation and process of change management, thinking about how it can be achieved effectively in an agile and changing environment.</p><h3>Learning Objectives</h3><ul><li>Understand the leader's role in change and how everyone can initiate change</li><li>Know how to plan for change in a fluctuating or agile environment</li><li>Be aware of the KÃ¼bler-Ross change curve and know how to handle their / others' emotions</li><li>Acquire practical techniques for getting buy-in and dealing with resistance</li></ul><section>
                    <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3><p>What are some of the challenges to change management in an agile environment? Group discussion. What are some of the positives? Poll activity to define benefits. Objectives, agenda.</p><h3>Understanding change</h3><p>Discussion using audio/microphones to draw out the roles and responsibilities of leaders in change. How can these differ in different environments? For example, in a linear process it would require paperwork, standardisation and formalising of new ways of working, where this wouldn't be as possible in an agile environment. A guide for good leadership in different situations is drawn up using whiteboard.</p><h3>The Change Curve</h3><p>Introduction or refresher on the Kubler-Ross change curve. Understanding the stages people go through. In an agile environment, disruption can happen much earlier than in a linear process so emotions and resistance may happen earlier in the process. The group brainstorm ways to plan for and counter this. How gaining buy-in can be important for reducing resistance.</p><h3>Emotions in change</h3><p>Managing the emotions of others, and your own emotions. How to create feelings of empowerment in team members by giving them ownership over the change through 1% improvements. How to handle people who feel angry or demotivated or through periods of uncertainty. Scenario discussion using written 'chat'.</p><h3>Action plans and next steps</h3><p>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person makes a commitment for what they will do differently in a group whiteboard which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.</p>
