  The Learning Connection

  What truly drives learning transfer?

  You’ve delivered a great session—but then nothing changes. Sound familiar? Learning transfer is the ultimate goal of any program, but it’s also one of the toughest challenges in L&D.

  In this dynamic 90-minute session, we’ll explore the science behind what really works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to making learning stick.

  Based on over 110 years of research and curated by Dr. Ina Weinbauer-Heidel, the 12 Levers of Transfer Effectiveness offer a practical roadmap to boost retention and application in the real world. (www.transfereffectiveness.com).

  What You’ll Gain:

  • A clear understanding of the 12 Levers that drive transfer success

  • Hands-on experience with the Transfer Card Game to uncover hidden barriers in your own programs

  • ️ Tools and techniques to make your learning programs transfer-ready

  • Insights you can apply immediately to create more impact

  Why Attend?

  MONTHLY LEARNING MEETING

  Executive presence is a critical soft skill, universally acknowledged yet often elusive, both in terms of its definition and application. Yet if we want to advance professionally, it’s something we need to learn and use in our day-to-day interactions.

  The fundamental characteristics remain the same — traits like gravitas, charisma, and your appearance. However, as our way of working has evolved due to economic, cultural, and technological changes, so has the definition of executive presence.

  Today, the traditional markers of executive presence have moved past conventional expectations like business suits and formal business lunches. Instead in our modern working landscape, executive presence lies in authentic leadership, crafting and projecting a career brand that follows you in and out of the office, and nurturing relationships built on trust and respect.

  Whether you’re just starting your career journey or a seasoned professional, this session is designed to empower you with the confidence and skills to enhance your leadership impact and executive presence in any organization.

  Key takeaways:

  • Uncover common communication pitfalls that undermine your presence — and learn strategies for turning them into your strength

  • Define your UPI (Your Unique and Powerful Introduction) that succinctly captures your professional identity and value

  • Discover how to build stronger relationships and grow trust with teammates

  Members: FREE
