Event Management, Body Language And Qualified Release
Stuart Burns was having a bad day. Not only had he arrived late for the seminar because of the server problem at work last night, he was finding it difficult to concentrate because of the stream of text messages coming in to his cell phone. He couldn’t bring himself to turn it off just in case something catastrophic was happening back at base so he set it to mute and tried to keep an eye on it while he listened to the presenters. Now the effects of his disturbed sleep were catching up on him and his extreme body language shouted that he was in the wrong place.
Audiences suffering from information overload will give very clear signals that they are ready for a break. Their eyes start to glaze over, they slump in their seats and when you ask them questions, it is as though you are rousing them from a deep sleep. Bladders may be straining, nicotine and caffeine cravings may be kicking in and vibrating text messages are surreptitiously being viewed. It’s time to declare an unofficial break! If you push on regardless you may lose your audience completely.
This situation can often happen on hot, humid days when the air-conditioning is underperforming or in windowless rooms where the lack of outside views can have a profound psychological effect on your delegates.
A ten minute unscheduled break in these circumstances can make the difference between success and failure for your event.
Manage the coffee and meal breaks rigidly as a few 5 or 10 minute overruns can soon lose you half an hour from the program.
Managing early departures
It is a fairly frequent occurrence that a proportion of your audience will be unable to stay for the entire event. This is understandable in these times of full schedules and instant communication. The more polite amongst them will forewarn you of this and tender their apologies. Some will make a dash for the door with their heads down and others will mumble an excuse as they walk sideways past the presenter towards the exit.
If You Have prior warning, try and sit your early leavers close to the exit even if they have been sitting elsewhere during the event. That way, when they have to take their leave, they can do it with minimum fuss and interruption.
Whichever exit routine your early leavers use, make sure that they have an opportunity to give you some instant feedback before they leave and take the time to thank them for however much time they have been able to spend with you. Their early exit is unlikely to be an insult to your organizational or presentational skills. More likely they have a plane or train to catch, so treat them respectfully.
Stuart was so relieved when one of the seminar administrators approached him during a coffee break to ask if there was a problem. She listened and, promising to book him on the next seminar, helped him organize a taxi.

Text In Action: A Definitive Guide To Exploring Text In Rehearsal For Actors And Directors $12.84 Following on from the widely acclaimed The Actor and the Text – which was addressed directly to the actor – Text in Action is drawn from Cicely’s group work experiences, encompassing the viewpoint of the director as well. To begin with, the author explores language from a cultural and personal perspective. In these days of management jargon and internet technology are we losing touch with the ability to communicate fully?’ Is the deeper imaginative world being left unexpressed? The main body of the book contains detailed, practical exercises for actors and directors during the rehearsal process. All exercises will be tied to specific scenes, leading to a fuller exploration of the rext. Text In Action analyses the imagery of plays, speech structures, the physicality of language and emphasises the importance of finding a collective voice. Cicely’s guidance on the matter of voice will help actors find relationships and situations through the text in a unique way, in order to make it more dynamic and creative. |

Flood Risk Science and Management $239.99 Approaches to avoid loss of life and limit disruption and damage from flooding have changed significantly in recent years. Worldwide, there has been a move from a strategy of flood defence to one of flood risk management. Flood risk management includes flood prevention using hard defences, where appropriate, but also requires that society learns to live with floods and that stakeholders living in flood prone areas develop coping strategies to increase their resilience to flood impacts when these occur. This change in approach represents a paradigm shift which stems from the realisation that continuing to strengthen and extend conventional flood defences is unsustainable economically, environmentally,  and in terms of social equity. Flood risk management recognises that a sustainable approach must rest on integrated measures that reduce not only the probability of flooding, but also the consequences.  This is essential as increases in the probability of inundation are inevitable in many areas of the world due to climate change, while socio-economic development will lead to spiralling increases in the consequences of flooding unless land use in floodplains is carefully planned.  Flood Risk Science and Management provides an extensive and comprehensive synthesis of current research in flood management; providing a multi-disciplinary reference text covering a wide range of flood management topics. Its targeted readership is the international research community (from research students through to senior staff) and flood management professionals, such as engineers, planners, government officials and those with flood management responsibility in the public sector. By using the concept of case study chapters, international coverage is given to the topic,  ensuring a world-wide relevance. |

5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual WorkPlace $16.19 Hiroyuki Hirano’s five pillars of the visual workplace: sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain are the most fundamental and often overlooked aspects in continuous improvement initiatives. Together, these concepts form the framework of the 5S System, a set of principles whose simplicity often betrays its powerful impact on the workplace.

8 Elements For Facilitating Adult Learning-Vol. 2b $24.95 The goal of all professional development programs is to provide opportunities for professionals to learn core competencies that add value and increase productivity and effectiveness. Most of the adult learning that occurs in the business world falls under what is called non-formal setting. But learning can still be delivered in structured formats, such as classroom lecture and seminar, as well as self-directed, peer driven, and on-line, all of which are strategies of a model based on explicit knowledge transfer.One constant that the research continues to support is the value, need, and importance of traditional, foundational training that has a structure and set of predetermined objectives.8 Elements for Facilitating Adult Learning is Volume 2b of Howatt HR Consulting’s Talent Management Series that promotes strategic considerations for developing effective structured and planned professional programs. Volume 2b explores core considerations for adult learning design and delivery. Each of the eight sections is designed to assist human resources professionals and development managers to facilitate discussion on what they are doing and may need to improve to effectively develop human capital.This text is a core resource for the Howatt HR 4-Day Adult Learning Train-the-Trainer course for preparing professionals to design and deliver professional development materials.William A. Howatt, PhD, EdD, Post Doc Behavioral Science UCLA School of Medicine, is CEO of Howatt HR Consulting Inc., a strategic human resources management company. Howatt HR Consulting focuses on assisting companies to gain a significant competitive edge by minimizing risk to talent equity. This isaccomplished through defining, designing, and developing talent management solutions for removing potential talent equity risks and to filling gaps. |
