More Ways to Keep Things Focused & Interesting Use internal agendas Bring slides into the conversation Connect dots from eLearning Use pre-planned questions

Internal Agendas Where weve been Where we are Where were going

Bring Slides into the Conversation Helps you keep things orderly (which learners appreciate) Reminds you to make connections (which aids in learning) Makes questions and thought starters easier Agenda 1 Agenda 2 Agenda 3

Connect Dots from eLearning GEN 201 Heres the Consulting Process graphic you were introduced to in the eLearning courses. So far, youve focused on the first 5 phases Today were going to focus on the last four: Implementation Follow-up Exit Re-entry Before we do that though

Examples Think about these 5 phases. Which phase in your own practice is the most challenging for you and why? Draw an x or make a mark explain why in chat.

Connect Dots from eLearning Participate in discussion board Answer questions Probe Offer alternative ways of looking at issues Question assumptions

Connect Dots from eLearning Examples Assume the discussion board was used to identify First Contact as the area of greatest interest to the students. Pulling this image into the conversation will help you set up a discussion about it.

Preplanned Questions Examples: What are your observations from the Cousins Consortium Case? How does the process covered in this entire course compare to the process you follow today?
