ATD Rocky Mountain Chapter programs are pre-approved by the ATD Certification Institute for continuing education credits towards recertification by Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) and Associate Professional in Talent Development (APTD) credential holders.

The specific number of points is determined based on the direct contact hours provided during each program with breaks, lunch and pre-work time omitted. Regular chapter meetings, networking opportunities and SIG meetings will not count for professional development unless there is a content component aligned with the capability model.

    Learn to uncover what your managers, clients, customers and other stakeholders need before doing what they ask.

    Your boss's brain is flawed. So is yours. We all suffer from so many cognitive biases and subconscious traits that drive everything we do. This is essential to understand in all areas of life, no less so than at work. Why? Because when your boss's boss's boss demands things, there is a cascading effect of automated requests that end up on your desk with demands like "make a brochure for the new service offering" or "make an app for the new product". But is that what's really needed? Maybe, maybe not.

    Stakeholder Whispering,     is about how to conduct the conversations that actually help discover the true underlying needs driving those requests. These conversations and the understanding they enable will help you deliver better results, which will lead to greater success for your organization and for your career! 

    In this session, you'll learn about some of the ways our flawed brains lead to wasted time and effort at work and methods that will lead to huge budget savings, higher morale, and improved standing in your organization. It's chock full of interesting research and examples to help junior employees get better at discovering true underlying needs and to help leaders see their own blind spots (not to mention help them do a better job "whispering" their stakeholders, as well!)

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

    1. Recognize that the default, intuitive response is driving every decision we make. 
    2. Conduct a conversation with stakeholders to investigate that default response to uncover the real needs driving requests.
    3. Recognize when a real underlying need has been discovered.

    Light refreshments will be provided.

    A limited number of copies of Bill’s book Stakeholder Whispering will be provided by ATD RMC as door prizes for three lucky attendees!
