Our Past Programs
November 10: Intergeneration Workforce Issues. Many thanks to Dr. Alexander Stein, of Triad Consulting Group, for sharing with us examples of current situations that he is involved in and his knowledge on the topic. These practical, in-basket examples bought the topic to life!
December 8: Listening/Communication Skills. Many thanks to Siobhan Murphy , of Quest Coaching International, Inc. , for leading program attendees through The Communications Theatre Workshop. This was a powerful workshop based on a model that assists Leaders to experience relating to another individual from four potential relational stances. Participants experienced the four levels in “real-plays,” using actual interpersonal challenges. The Leader/Manager experienced the levels in their own role and in the role of their employee, effectively understanding how their approach impacts the staff member. This was an enlightening program!

ODNLI thanks all participants in this program, which was a unique opportunity to present a business challenge or concern and receive insight from attendees using peer-to-peer sharing of expertise. Peer advisors as well as the problem presenters saw the power of this process on problem solving.
During the program, participants became familiar with two ground rules and six components of Action Learning. Everyone left with practical experience in problem solving using the World Institute Action Learning model. Everyone participated in the program either as a group member, project presenter or observer. Special thanks to Denise Gerstenfield, for her contribution to the session.
