Presenter(s): Jim Smith, Jr. Session Length: 1:15 hr. Event: 2007 ASTD International Conference & Expo Date: June 3-6, 2007
Management's attendance has stopped it. Fear has buried it. Corporate culture has sensored it. A ton of content to deliver in a short period of time has numbed it. What is "it?" "It" is your personal pizzazz power (PPP). Many have let their (PPP) succumb to a number of seemingly self-imposed roadblocks...or have yet to tap into it. It's time to take "it" off layaway or to discover "it"--and one way to do that is to dance like nobody's watching. During the Dance Like Nobody's Watching (i.e., facilitating flawlessly and creatively without fear and reservation) session, you will examine numerous factors that can play a role in unleashing, or have played a role in harnessing and controlling, your (PPP) in the classroom. Showing up and merely going through the material is not enough. Being articulate and knowing your subject matter is not enough. Just focusing on your learners' cognitive and psychomotor domains is not enough. Learners have to be engaged, energized, and inspired; your confidence, charisma and showmanship play a significant role in making that happen. To help you kick it up a notch, you will be introduced to the Big Four Dance Card--four powerful step areas to pizzazz empowerment. You will also assess yourself against the 15 Fear Factors that have rendered many predictable, boring, and conservative in front of the room. You will also get a chance to share and compare your experiences with others and partner in building a pizzazz empowering action plan. You will leave this session with a number of tools to use immediately to refresh and energize your content, your learners, and yourself!
