Self-Awareness or Self-Deception? Promoting Informed Leadership Development
By the time one reaches middle management, most professionals have participated in dozens of talent development programs. Such programs largely focus on developing leadership capabilities and most certainly include numerous individual assessments regarding one’s style or type, all designed to hone self-awareness. Yet, substantial evidence now suggests that often well-intended efforts designed to improve self-awareness may in fact be the very activity that is undermining and stalling real development. In this interactive webinar, Dr. Rubin will discuss recent research surrounding self-awareness in individuals and teams and ways in which I/O practitioners can help stakeholders more productively promote self-awareness including developing a language for talking about various types of assessments and interventions.
Knowing and doing learning objectives
• Explain the relationship between objective ability and self-rated ability
• Differentiate the concepts of self-knowledge and self-awareness
• Diagnose a situation requiring improved self-awareness
• Develop action plans for talent development programs targeting improved self-awareness

You have a hunch that employees within your customer service team would benefit from flexible work hours, or that your skilled office workers need a more nuanced total rewards package to prevent their flight to other organizations.

Virtual Event - Catching Criminals Quickly with Cultural Transformation: How the FBI transformed it’s human capital practices after 9-11
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) needed to re-make itself as an agile organization equipped to combat terrorism, fight crime, and deter corruption. Organizational psychologist Amy Grubb led the human capital transformation effort applying Industrial Organizational Psychology techniques at all levels of the Bureau. Her approach and interventions redefined HR practices so that they had far-reaching consequences, including building an organization that could apprehend the Boston Marathon bomber in a matter of hours, rather than the weeks it would have formerly taken.

Virtual Event - Kick Some Glass: The Research Behind CCL's Latest Women's Leadership Book (And Why It Isn't Just for Women!)
The facts are clear. Although women are half of the world's population and the majority of college graduates, the equal ratio of women to men at entry levels in the workforce drops significantly beginning at mid-level management. Only a quarter of C-suite roles---at best---are held by women. We (CCL) wanted to understand why and---more importantly---how to address it. Our research revealed actions for women, men, organizations, and policymakers. Let's explore some of them in this session!
A recording of the program and presenter slides will be shared with all paid registrants following the event.

Developing Cultural Agility
While our world is increasingly interconnected through the internet and international airports, cross-cultural success requires more than a passport and a plane ticket. Success today requires people who can comfortably and effectively work in different countries and with people from different cultures and backgrounds -- people with cultural agility.
Dr. Paula Caligiuri, author of Cultural Agility: Building a Pipeline of Successful Global Professionals, will describe how applied psychologists and other HR professionals can support organizations as they develop a pipeline of culturally agile professionals and global leaders. Using examples from both science and practice, Paula will discuss how leaders can develop their own cultural agility while concurrently building a pipeline of successful global professionals in their organizations.

Virtual Event - Getting the Most Out of Mentoring Programs
One of the best ways to help develop and retain your valued employees is by having them work with a skilled mentor. Many companies have created programs to facilitate the creation of mentoring partnerships, but the programs have not always delivered the desired results, leading to frustration of both protégés and mentors. However, mentoring programs can deliver great results if they are designed well from the start. This session will examine current practice on mentoring programs and will detail how organizations can get the most out of them.

The Past, Present and Future of Leadership Effectiveness
The topic of leadership effectiveness unites us as IO professionals as we seek to apply what we know to improve business results through various HR activities: selection, onboarding, performance management, strategic workforce planning, and the development of individual leaders and leadership teams. The construct of leadership is among the most debated topics in the social sciences (c.f., Avolio, Sosik, Jung & Berson, 2003). A quick Google Scholar search nets thousands of responses on what it means to be an effective leader and how leadership can be identified and grown. But what do we really know about leadership effectiveness that can guide our practice in today's complex business environment?
Join a panel of seasoned IO professionals from local industry and academia to explore their perspectives on where we have been, where we stand, and the trends on the horizon regarding identifying, managing and developing effective leadership capabilities.

Learning Agility - What is it? Why is it Important? How Could it Contribute to Talent Management Activities?
Have you ever met someone who seemed great at figuring out what to do when you threw them in a new situation but you never knew how they did it? They were probably an agile learner! In a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world, research suggests the learning agile are more likely to succeed!
During this informative session, we will define learning agility, discuss how it differs from cognitive ability, and examine the importance of both skill and motivation. We will introduce Dr. Warner Burke via video and highlight key research underlying his 38-item Burke Learning Agility Inventory developed at Teachers College, Columbia University. The 9 dimensions of the inventory, including key drivers of Speed and Flexibility, will be identified. And we’ll discuss how to leverage applications of both the self-report and 360 multi-rater versions for orientation, leader selection and development and organization development.
