    SPE 61: Effective Facilitation Skills

    Presenter: Marsheila DeVan
    The Facilitation Skills workshop will focus on building and refining your current facilitation skills in order to create interactive, scientific discussions. Participants will discuss and practice various facilitation techniques in a fun, non-threatening learning environment.

    The group will discuss how to structure the interaction so everyone has an opportunity to contribute and ask questions, incorporate the input and expertise of others, and to successfully accomplish the meeting objectives. Participants will focus on setting a positive meeting tone, creating interactivity and paraphrasing information so participants feel understood, clarify and mediate any differences of opinion and summarize key points. At the end of the workshop the participants will have built critical skills to increase credibility, engagement and enhance their facilitation skills.

    Come prepared to discuss communication challenges while facilitating. Be willing to speak in front of a group and participate in exercises.

    Program Objectives:

    • Practice projecting a strong professional presence while incorporating facilitation techniques.
    • Review professional communication behaviors both verbal and non-verbal.
    • Practice techniques for interactivity and effective information exchange.

    Course 2

    Presented on Oct. 11, 2019

    SPE62: Design and Adapt Your Talk to Different Audiences

    Presenter: Marsheila DeVan
    The Design and Adapt Your Talk to Different Audiences workshop will focus on creating interactive scientific discussions that will meet the needs of various audiences.

    The workshop will discuss the importance of improving communication and influence through understanding yourself and others better by utilizing concepts from the Personal Profile System (DiSC). Focus will be on building and refining your current communication skills to adapt to different audiences and their learning styles. Whether you are communicating one-on-one, small or large group meetings, how do you analyze and adapt? What is the best way to increase effectiveness and reduce frustration in working with other people or audiences whose style may differ than yours? Participants will additionally work in small groups discussing strengths, weaknesses and limitations they may have in different venues as a presenter. At the end of the workshop the participants will have built critical skills to increase engagement and awareness.

    Come prepared to discuss challenging personalities and difficult meetings. Be willing to speak in front of a group and participate in exercises.

    Program Objectives:

    • Discuss tools for when to vary your audience approach.
    • Learn to recognize the DiSC styles based on behavioral cues.
    • Examine meaningful conversational tools to ensure a robust dialogue.

    2018 Webinars and Courses

    The Academy engaged the expertise of Jeff Hurt, who is considered one of the leading authorities in the meetings industry on adult education, to design the 2018 curriculum.

    Creating Sticky Education: The Science of Learning

    You have important knowledge to impart. Let’s make sure it sticks! And that your peers can apply what they learned at the annual meeting into their practices when they return home. Studies show that we go about educating and learning in the wrong ways. There is a large growing body of evidence-proven strategies to replace accepted practices that are rooted in intuition, tradition and myth. The most effective learning strategies and education programming are counter-intuitive. We need to build new bridges between our talks and speeches and the learning research in order to increase our participants’ ROI.

    After attending this session, participants will be able to:

    • Identify several evidence-proven learning strategies that all education sessions should incorporate for greater attendee ROI and how to apply those strategies to the different types of conference sessions.
    • Discover, define and assess why and how individual elaboration is critical to making new learning stronger and more memorable.
    • Develop teaching strategies that reinforce learning retention.

    Webinar 2

    From Passive Listener to Active Participant: Increasing Audience Engagement

    Research shows that the traditional lecture is the equivalent of distributing a report. Metaphorically speaking, it doesn’t mean your audience will read it (hear and learn it), retain it or even apply it. If you want your audience to learn it and remember it so they can apply it, you’ll have to change what you’ve usually done. Increasing your audience’s engagement through peer-to-peer discussions, activities and reflection exercises will increase their learning and retention and ultimately their ability to apply it. And yes, this can be achieved even in short presentations in large session rooms.

    After attending this session, the presenter will be able to:

    • Compare expert-centered and participant-centered education.
    • Define engagement and why it’s necessary to increase your listeners’ learning.
    • Identify the steps to transition your traditional lecture to an interactive peer-to-peer presentation.

    Course 1

    Presented on Oct. 26, 2018

    Ignite Participant Learning Using Research-Based Strategies for Technical Presentations

    Traditionally, medical conferences have been based on lectures because that’s how physicians were taught in medical school. But that is changing. And it’s changing because there is scientific research that clearly indicates that passive listening is not an effective method of teaching.

    Science, especially cognitive psychology, neuro-biology, neuroimaging, and neuroscience have given us real-time data and visual images of how the brain learns. We now can watch how the brain accumulates, connects, makes sense of, stores and retrieves learned information. We also know which learning strategies most successfully lead to long-term memory, retention, remembering and application.

    Science says that active learning, highly interactive methods and peer-to-peer-to-peer participation, work the best, especially for the STEM fields. We can actually see what happens to brain activity and structure when the speaker facilitates, and participants learn.

    This session will help you discover how to ignite your participant learning using research-based strategies for technical presentations.

    After attending this presentation, the participant will be able to:

    • Explore how to identify content that meets the business case for your presentation and aligns with your learning outcomes.
    • Compare and contrast active and passive learning strategies and elaborate on which strategy you’re willing to tackle for your next presentation.
    • Identify three categories of active learning exercises and assess which ones are best for your technical presentation.

    ABCs of Learning: Advancing Learning, the Brain and the Competitive Edge

    We often have more content than time when giving a presentation. But including everything and not allowing the audience time to reflect can actually be a barrier to learning.

    This session will help you reframe your mindset about offering brain-friendly presentations regardless the size and demographics of the audience. Through practice and application, you’ll discover six learning principles based on the science of learning that you can use in any situation. You’ll uncover the steps needed to invent, innovate, create, explore and design learning opportunities that are conceived with the brain in mind. When you apply these principles, you lead your audience to change their attitudes, behaviors and skills which is when real learning occurs.

    After attending this session, the participant will be able to:

    • Identify six brain-based learning principles that speakers should embrace to encourage learning.
    • Compare and contrast various types of educational programming that results in the mental engagement science says is needed for learning to occur.
    • Discuss the illusion of knowing and why we have to help our participants recognize authentic learning vs. copying and mimicry.
    • Evaluate the role of technology in our learning opportunities.
