WEBINAR OFFERINGS

OVERVIEW

IPG offers a series of webinars to support our clients as they adapt to today’s changing and challenging environment. These webinars cover the latest strategies for maintaining team member engagement, morale, and productivity.

COACHING VIRTUALLY

Because virtual coaching presents a unique set of interpersonal dynamics, coaches must understand how to use technology effectively and how to meet the psychological needs that maximize engagement, motivation, and a sense of well-being.

Highlights

  • How to use extrinsic and intrinsic motivators—and which is more predictive of success.

  • Self-Determination Theory*: what it is and how it helps heighten motivation by addressing the psychological needs for connection, competence, and autonomy.

  • Cultivating the three components of Self-Determination to ensure that team members feel valued, confident, and respected.

* The theory of Self-Determination Theory was developed by Richard M. Ryan and Edward L. Deci.

STRENGTHENING RESILIENCE

The ability to persevere and adapt, in a positive way, to any adversity, stress, or difficult event—in other words, being resilient—is critical if we are to thrive in the face of the constant changes and complex challenges we face today

Highlights

  • Key characteristics of resilient-ready people.

  • The ATC Model*—Activating Event, Thoughts, and Consequences—and how to leverage it to increase self-awareness and shift perspectives for more productive outcomes.

  • Four Real-Time Resilience Strategies to adjust counterproductive thoughts, reduce stress, strengthen resilience, and thrive through change.

  • Strategies for strengthening resilience virtually.

    * The Resilience Factor: 7 Essential skills for overcoming life's inevitable obstacles, Reivich, K. & Shatte, A. (2002). New York, NY: Broadway Books.

 CONNECTING EFFECTIVELY

In both good times and challenging times, staying connected with each other is critical to maintaining high morale and productivity. This is done by making sure every interaction is a high-quality connection.*

Highlights

  • Adopting the mindset needed to connect effectively—in person and virtually.

  • How “micro-moments” help maintain high-quality connections.

  • The Four Pathways to building high-quality connections.

  • High-Quality Connection Audit, a tool for strengthening our relationships with others.

    * The theory of High-Quality Connections was developed by Jane E. Dutton, Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Business Administration and Psychology, University of Michigan

“Today’s session was so very timely for me. I had just gotten off a particularly frustrating and stressful call and was having unproductive thoughts. Your session really helped me to reset and reframe my next steps. I am so grateful to you all for offering such a wonderful resource to us during this time. I know it’s been tremendously informative and useful for me. I’m very excited to meet and keep the conversation going during our virtual certification program. Thank you for all you do! It’s fantastic.”

“I wanted to take the time to say thank you for taking the time today to not only present the Maximizing webinar but providing your expertise in training the team on how to facilitate the class. The team appreciates all of the details and tips you provided today to help us be successful.”

- Vice President, Talent Development Consultant

Larry's presentation was incredibly “in tune” with the times, and it made the topic of "resilience" concrete and tangible.  Additionally, the breakdown of the ATC Model and "Real-Time Resilience Strategies" were so applicable and current. We need more presentations like this to help navigate these challenging times and offer resources to people on how to overcome even the most difficult of challenges. I look forward to future presentations!
