  “Say do you remember dancing in September?” sang Earth Wind & Fire on their 1971 hit song “September.” Well, we may not be dancing (although you never know with this crew) but we’re certainly going to have a fantastic time at L&D Philly's 2019 HR, Training, & Talent Networking Extravaganza!

  Featuring fun activities, plenty of food, raffles, prizes, and a discounted cash bar – plus amazing views from the beautiful Pyramid Club in Center City – this is one party you won’t want to miss. Register now as we expect a packed room for this one! Okay - let's be clear - we did pack the room last year - so we got a bigger room!

  Join L&D Philly and our partner organizations as we kick start the fall with a night of excitement, elegance, and best of all - you and your peers!
  

  
  

  Program

  Registration and refreshments start at 6pm! 

  At 6:30, we'll kick off with some introductions and news, and then go into a fast-paced, but fun structured networking activity facilitated by local training guru, comedian, host of Meet the Author, Talent Booker for Counter Culture on PBS, and President of High-Five Consulting - Theresa Hummel-Krallinger. That means us introverts (John) can feel safe and successful and extroverts can feel - well they don't need to fear an event like this!

  Then, it's open networking time! Catch up with old friends/colleagues and meet some new ones! We'll bring the house down and close out the event with some great prizes, a few cool games, and a little comedy.

  What can achieve a 23,900% increase in the attention span of a squirrel? An acorn!

  The goal of any communication is no longer simply to inform. In today’s short attention span world, information is the enemy. Facts and information simply no longer have value because they are no longer scarce. To be able to persuade, we need to do more than just show and tell. We need to connect, make it relevant, make it stick and take action. The ACORN Communication Strategy helps to do just that. Once the content is understood, we must make the communication of it more strategic so that we can meet our goals. Knowing the content is only the first step. Through this presentation, we will present the communication strategy as a toolbox to enhance any message. As a result of these tools participants will be able deliver their message more effectively to any audience in a variety of situations.

  Dr. Michael Brenner

  When people work in harmony, great things happen®!

  Dr. Michael Brenner, president of Right Chord Leadership, LLC. is a professional musician for more than 30 years, and knows that "striking the right chord" means more than playing the right notes at the right time. It means connecting with the audience in a way that moves, inspires, and even transforms people.

  The same is true in business. When leaders strike the right chord with their teams, the results are unmistakable. Trust skyrockets. Engagement soars. Energy and enthusiasm permeate the culture. And everyone locks into a groove that fuels performance and success.
