     ISPI SoCal Presents – Radical Performance Improvement

    Leader as Coach – Part 3: Leader Action



    Holly Benner

    Join us for a series on how to radically enhance your leadership skills through coaching. This three-part series leverages a unique Action-oriented Learning approach to deeply explore a given topic of interest per quarter through the process of Education (theory/framework) + Insight (self-reflection and peer coaching) + Action (application and practice), to facilitate a real-life application of the concept.

    You will walk away with knowledge of a new topic and a plan on how to implement it into action.

      Session Description

      Part 3: Leader Action; DEI and Coaching in Organizations 

      The elements for this meeting will be lead by our guest speaker, Eric Polite. We will be learning from his facilitation which will include the following items:

      • Observe: An expert sharing best practices and guidance
      • Practice: Engage in small-group solutioning
      • Act: Share a commitment for application and accountability

      ISPI SoCal Chapter (image by Craiyon)

      Awareness of publicly available AI tools has exploded recently. What does this mean in world of human performance and L&D?  We need to consider how these tools are involved in our own work, and also in the workforce overall. 

      Join us in conversation so we all get smarter together.

      Facilitated by Kathleen O'Donnell, PhD of ISPI SoCal.

        Session Description

        In this session, together we will explore:

        • What are some common AI tools available to try?  What have you tried or seen used?
        • Live interaction with AI tools (if you are using one and can share or demonstrate a little, please consider doing so)
        • Use cases now and in the future (by industry or job role). What workers will be using AI tools now and in the near future?  What changes and how?
        • What does ChatGPT say about its role in training?
        • Opportunities and caveats
        • What more would you like to explore as a chapter?
        • Resources (come with your favorites to share)

        Note: The image used was generated by Craiyon from a text prompt. We will show more and discuss!
