Association for Talent Development (ATD), in partnership with the Fox Valley SHRM Chapter proudly presents “The Guru of Thank You!” Dr. Bob Nelson!

Ubuntu: Inspiring Teamwork & Collaboration at Work Inspire a Greater Sense of Purpose, Connectedness and Unity Among Your Team Members

Multi-million copy best-selling author Dr. Bob Nelson (1501 Ways to Reward Employees, The Management Bible) shares his expertise and energy to show managers and organizations how to obtain new levels of focus, excitement and results in any work environment through the principles of Ubuntu, the South African philosophy unity and connectedness that Nelson Mandela used to unify that country after the fall of apartheid.  This session is based on that concept and a parable of the same name that the Dr. Bob co-authored with Dr. Stephen Lundin (co-author of the mega-million copy best-selling Fish! series).  Dr. Nelson delivers a passionate, inspiring, high-energy, multi-media program that intertwines fun & creativity, learning & application, and numerous examples & best practices from business, sports, politics & music in applying this traditional African principle of unity, connectedness and teamwork to the world of work today. He draws upon his own research and doctoral work as well as experience in working with hundreds of organizations on the topic of employee motivation and high-performing teams to show how any organization or work group can incorporate the principles of Ubuntu in simple, practical ways. This session will be filled with specific real-life examples and techniques that can be immediately applied back on the job by attendees to systematically leverage, build and sustain a culture of teamwork, motivation, engagement and recognition in their workplace.  Topics covered include:                                                                                                                

  • The Core Principles & Philosophy of Ubuntu
  • Creating a Shared Vision and Sense of Purpose
  • Inspiring Others to Greatness at Work
  • Creating Greater Rapport from Shared Experiences at Work
  • Creative Ways to Recognize Team Effort and Results

Engaging & Retaining High Potential Employees Learn How Best to Identify, Develop and Retain Your High Potential Talent—Before They Leave Your Organization

Organizations have dedicated and invested millions of dollars in identifying and developing High Potential employees (HIPOs) within their workforce.  This cream-of-the-crop top talent is often pegged for leadership roles early on in their careers and are the first to participate in innovative leadership development programs.  Despite the considerable amount of time and effort companies put into guiding them, studies show that many High Potentials remain unengaged in their work and continue to actively pursue other opportunities. In the last 12 months, 30% of High Potentials have changed jobs, a number that is expected to increase as the economy further improves.  Over 50% of executives feel their organizations are ineffective at managing and keeping top talent and 90% of CEOs rank a retention plan for the organization’s High Potentials as a top priority for Human Resources.  This session will cover the following topics:

  • The Need to Better Focus on High Potentials
  • How to Identify Your High Potentials
  • The Current Challenges with this Group of Top Performers
  • Six Strategies to Increase High Potential Engagement
  • A Case Study in Developing High Potentials    

Discover the best practices of leading organizations as they seek to motivate and empower their High Potential population. Learn skills you can apply to your own workforce, from how best to identify High Potentials to keeping them engaged and invested in their work so that they can continue to perform at top levels. The time to get focused on these special performers is before they start leaving your organization!
