The weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association community…
Meaningful meetings. Achurch Consulting says it’s time to rethink and repair your organization’s broken meeting culture by adopting meaningful and mindful meeting practices. They suggest steps for stopping the meeting madness and responsibilities of meeting conveners and participants.
Corporate learning. Coursera, EdX and LinkedIn Learning are going all in on the corporate market and increasing revenue as a result. WBT Systems explains how your association can stand out from the for-profit crowd by offering a corporate learning concierge service to industry employers—a good way to spread market awareness, strengthen relationships, and generate additional revenue.
AMS requirements. Impexium shares the most in-demand requirements on the AMS wish lists of association executives. I’m pleased to see that most of these go beyond technical functionality to more strategic considerations that position an association for the future. If you’re looking for a new AMS, put these eight requirements at the top of your list.
Virtual connections. Amanda Kaiser describes how virtual connections can ease attendees’ anxiety about going to in-person events. She suggests ways to help attendees connect with each other before and during the event—and recalls the joy of tweet-ups. Remember those? Ah, the old days.
Employee volunteering and DEI. When association professionals think about volunteering, members naturally come to mind. But what if your employer gave you time to volunteer? Submittable explains how employee volunteering can help strengthen your organization’s DEI efforts.
Workplace culture. By now, we understand the influence of culture on an organization’s success. But where and how do you even begin to improve your culture? Propel explains how a culture assessment that evaluates eight primary culture patterns reveals your organization’s change readiness and place on the cultural spectrum from traditional to contemporary to futurist.
Quick hits
My eight best techniques for evaluating character. (Ted Gioia)
Competency vs. skill: why you need to know the difference. I didn’t. (Haley Wilson, D2L)
Dogma, doubt and Jane Austen, today. “Who is telling you what to think, who is peddling certainty and outrage; and who on the contrary is encouraging thought and reflection, open debate, consideration and conscience?” (Austen Connection)
Good eats
Skip down to the list of free educational events if you prefer takeout.
My Good eats section is on hiatus because I had periodontal surgery last week, specifically pocket reduction or osseous surgery. Unless you want to hear about my fascinating soft food diet of puréed soups, mashed sweet potatoes, broccoli purée, smoothies and ice cream. My immersion blender has earned its keep.
Now, all you irregular flossers, I implore you to read my PSA. You’re indulging in a high-cost bad habit! Before it’s too late, establish a daily oral hygiene habit that includes flossing and purple Listerine, or pay the price. Surgery on my bottom molars was $3K and the dental anesthesiologist was another $2K. Going under was optional, but I couldn’t stomach the idea of being awake with only local anesthesia for two hours.
TMI, I’m sure, but I wish someone had told me all this long ago, including what I was risking by not flossing regularly. Let’s just hope surgery did the trick and I can keep my cute molars—one of them is at risk. PSA over.
If you have a free webinar or event coming up, please send me the link by Wednesday afternoon the week before it’s scheduled. I’m happy to feature it as long as it’s not too product-centric.
