Together We Rise: The Confluence, Influence, and Intersectionality of ERGs

Presented by Nyah Lynn Edwwards, Equity and Inclusion Professional

 

Tasked with managing within a hyper-evolving organizational shift, “The Great Quit” or “The Great Resignation” requires leaders and employees at every level to engage in operational shifts to maintain operational excellence. An approach that will galvanize your people is to re-shape the relationship between the C-suite and employee resource groups (ERGs) who are representatives of every level of employee.

After this webinar, participants will:

    • Be positioned to identify the means and methods to create opportunities for the C-suite and ERGs to evolve their partnerships and breakthrough impediments.

    • Create ideologies and symmetry between traditional operations and much-needed innovations to grow and retain employees through equity and inclusion.

    • Gain a deeper understanding of the two-way street of executive leaders and ERGs to influence organizational behaviors.

    • Assist the C-suite in breaking down silos and working together to create a greater sense of belonging.

    • Learn to share experiences to build agility in ERGs and other organizational teams.

BA Career Series Webinar: Communication, Engagement & Influence: Honing three Key BA Skills

Presented by Adrian Reed, Director and Principal Consultant at Blackmetric Business Solutions

 

Business Analysts tend to be natural communicators, but we’ve probably all experienced situations where stakeholders just don’t seem to listen.  Meetings are held, decisions are made, but a week later the same issues are raised yet again.  Why is this? Is it possible that sometimes we don’t make enough of an impact?
 
Communication, engagement and influence are key antidotes to this problem. In this practical presentation you’ll hear:

    • How the trio of communication, engagement and influence are crucial

    • How communicating facts alone isn’t enough: It’s all about the story…

    • How engagement starts by being engaging

    • How “impostor syndrome” might sometimes get in the way (and what to do about it)

You’ll pick up a range of techniques and approaches that you can put straight into use.

There are very specific skills a professional requires to be successful working in the Agile way. The problem is too many times, we think Agile is a set of practices and nothing else. But knowing something doesn’t mean you can get things done. To be successful in Agile you must learn and develop very practical professional skills that form the foundation of Agile values and principles. Learn this and the practices come alive and have meaning.
