SUMMARY:Webinar:  Collaboration to Improve Department Communication
DESCRIPTION:Collaboration to Improve Department Communication \nPresented by Shahara Wright\n\nMost department leaders will say that the C Suite doesn’t care if departments work together. However\, managers know that it is necessary to complete the work that needs to be done. It often seems like it is impossible because of distrust and suspicion between departments. However\, a company can only survive if a culture of communication\, transparency and collaboration is embraced. \nDepartments that struggle (or make no attempt) to cooperate with each other lead to product delays\, budgetary problems and destroy company culture. Departments end up competing with one another and no longer seek to improve the company\, but themselves. Collaboration is not about projects but working toward a common goal and outlook for a better future. A future where everyone benefits. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn:\n• How team leaders can encourage communication.\n• How to create a collaborative process.\n• How to work through mistakes and pitfalls.\n• How to cultivate mutual understanding. \nPresenter Shahara Wright is a CEO\, business law attorney and business strategist.  She is an award-winning author\, host of the CEO Collaboration Circle and a highly sought after international speaker.  Wright has been the owner and lead attorney of The Wright Firm\, PLLC for over 17 years and founded The CEO Effect\, LLC\, to work with small business owners who want to implement strategy to build capacity. \nDate: September 12\, 2018\nTime: 11:00–12:00 p.m. CT\nFree to IABC members \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Webinar:  Stuck in the 20th Century? The Shifts You and Your Company Need to Make to Thrive in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:  \nStuck in the 20th Century? The Shifts You and Your Company Need to Make to Thrive in the 21st Century \nPresented by Maya Townsend and Martha Miser\n\nToday\, the world is a much different place than it was twenty years ago. Yet\, we still rely on approaches to strategy that were developed in the 20th century (and a few that were developed over 2000 years ago). We need to move beyond the old methods to what works in our digital\, global\, rapidly changing world. In this active\, engaging webinar\, we’ll explore the five shifts organizations and individuals need to make in order to lead strategy and communicate effectively in the 21st century.\nIn this session\, you will learn: \n\nWhat the shift to a deeply interconnected\, digitally ubiquitous\, global world means for organizations and individuals.\nThe five shifts of thinking you’ll need to succeed in strategy and communications in the 21st Century.\nThe practical implications of the five shifts to your practice.\n\nPresenter Maya Townsend helps individuals\, teams\, and organizations thrive in our networked world. Through her company\, Partnering Resources\, she uses the science underlying human relationships to make soft skills generate hard results. She serves on the Editorial Review Board for OD Practitioner. Her articles are regularly published by venues such as Inc.Com\, CIO.Com\, People + Strategy\, and Nonprofit Quarterly. As co‐editor of The Handbook for Strategic HR\, Townsend will happily tell you why you should throw out your performance reviews and why most HR departments need a total makeover. \nPresenter Martha Miser focuses on disrupting organizations\, so that people think differently about themselves and relationships\, leading to organizations that are more awake\, passionate\, human and focused—all of which adds up to better business results. Her company\, Aduro Consulting\, serves a range of domestic and multinational companies. Prior to starting her consulting business\, Miser held leadership positions in several organizations\, including Global Head of Leadership and Change for ING Bank in the Netherlands. Her newsletter\, Exploring Leadership\, examines the unique challenges of 21st century leadership. \nDate: May 9\, 2018\nTime: 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. CT\nFree to IABC members \nRegister here.
