TUESDAY JULY 29REACH LABS Pre-Conference Session

REACH Labs are pre-conference workshops where attendees discuss ideas in small groups, work side-by-side with VitalSmarts authors to design influence strategies, and consult with Master Trainers on individual challenges.

Choose one of two learning options:

Lab 1: How to Become an Opinion Leader

Bestselling author and social scientist David Maxfield will lead a one-day session on becoming an opinion leader (based on his popular Harvard Medical School workshop).

Across every industry and in diverse organizations, opinion leaders practice the same three vital behaviors:

· They know their stuff—they use deliberate practice to hone and expand their craft.

· They focus on the right stuff—they contribute to tasks that are essential to the organization’s success.

· They build a reputation for being helpful—colleagues describe them as experts who are generous with their time.

This engaging and hands-on lab will show you how to adopt these vital behaviors and build a multi-faceted influence plan.

Lab 2: 10x Your Training Implementation

You’ve invested a lot in your VitalSmarts training solution. But one or two magical days in the classroom doesn’t guarantee sustainable change. Are you maximizing the value of your training?

Master Trainer Steve Willis and VitalSmarts author Ron McMillan will:

· Teach you how to use the Influencer Model to 10X your training implementation.

· Help you build a new plan for your training rollout.

· Coach you through the process, adding valuable insight from the hundreds of training rollouts they’ve led.

Note: You’ll need to be prepared for this session with details on your current rollout plan and target audience.

WEDNESDAY JULY 30 2014 Albert Bandura Influencer Award Recipient: Martin Burt

As Founder of Fundación Paraguaya, Martin Burt has motivated and enabled tens of thousands of families to lift themselves from dire poverty.

Martin Burt is founder and CEO of Fundación Paraguaya where he is developing two social innovations: self-sufficient schools for chronically unemployed rural youth; and the “poverty stoplight,” a methodology which allows poor families to self-diagnose and improve their level of poverty and quality of life.

He is a visiting professor in Social Entrepreneurship at the American University of Nigeria; Professor of Practice at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute; and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Tulane University. In addition, he has authored several books on the topics of economics, development, education, and poetry.

Formerly, he was elected Mayor of Asunción and served as Vice Minister of Commerce and Chief of Staff to the President of Paraguay.

Burt will receive the Albert Bandura Influencer Award, a lifetime achievement award named for the Stanford psychologist who advanced the field of human behavior change. The Award is given annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to improving personal, social, or organizational well-being through novel application of social science that advances the world’s capacity to solve important problems.
