Dementia Care - Marina DeBona (Sample Poster)

# data[].attributes.body
This POC would reach my target audience of RGA's (registered guest attendants) working directly with people living with dementia because it would make them aware of the issue and the implications of dementia world-wide. I would draw them into the learning by identifying the issue at a global level and then converging in to their role as RGA's at Season's. I think it is important for them to know that organizations are taking the stats seriously and that it has become a public health priority in Canada. Since they will be working directly with people living with dementia this will stimulate their curiosity to learn more about innovative approaches to patient care (such as a person-centered approach).

Marina DeBona - Dementia 101
This POC would provide the learner with relevant foundational content on dementia as they embark on their learning journey. This fits within my plan to provide the students with the foundational knowledge around early symptoms of dementia and anticipated brain changes (that are not part of normal ageing) and how to detect them. It also exposes the students to Teepa Snow who is a guru in this field. Her expert videos and TikTok videos, which are all available through her her company called Positive Approach to Care will be extremely beneficial to them and will assist them to develop strategies on how to engage with people living with dementia while on the job.

This POC would engage my audience because it will help engage RGA's even once the training has come to an end. The FB group/page can contain exclusive content that is interesting and captivating and can support the RGA's in their jobs at Season's. It sustains their engagement through a popular social media platform that the RGA's would be using anyhow. This is a great way to keep things highly targeted for them, receive insights from colleagues, sharing of best practices and build a community of practice.

I will send an email out to CareerInTech, StartUpGrind, and other such networks/community members to build awareness and reach my target learners. The email will allow me to reach my target audience of first-time e-commerce entrepreneurs by providing an initial point of contact that makes them aware of this free module. The email will stimulate their curiosity by asking a question that creates and then drives a desire to learn: are you ready to learn what you need to know to make the first step as an e-commerce entrepreneur?"

Having a short conversation about the module on a relevant podcast (like StartUp Grind Podcast) will provide content to learners, and will serve as a point of contact that introduces knowledge both from and beyond the module (a “teaser” of sorts) to my target audience. I like the podcast as a POC and form of marketing for my target learners—first-time e-commerce entrepreneurs—because it is a form of media that my target audience likely already consumes, and it is something they can listen to while taking part in other activities (for example, washing the dishes, commuting to work, and so on). Podcasts contribute to a culture of curiosity and learning by allowing learners to download for free an incredibly rich archive of information across a range of topics, which are usually presented in digestible bits.

Christina Halliday--Self Direction Strategies for your path to person-centred care (Seasons Retirement)

A Flipgrid self-assessment activity, as an "assessment as learning" tool, would reach my target audience of Residence Guest Attendants (RGAs) because the "Self Direction Strategies" module is online and asynchronous (using Rise 360) so a link to Flipgrid at the end of the module would be accessible and easy.

Placing a Flipgrid self-assessment activity at the end of the module would draw the RGAs into further learning through asking them to reflect on their grasp of the Self Direction Strategies before they start their first day on the job, so there is a clear and relevant connection between the assessment and the work that the new RGAs are stepping into.

The assessment activity will stimulate RGA curiosity about what it's going to look like to develop further in applying Self-Direction Strategies when they start to actually work with live Residents.

Christina Halliday--Self Direction Strategies for your path to person-centred care

This POC would reach my target audience of new Residence Guest Attendants (RGAs) because I will have an email list of each cohort before they start the module.

It would draw them into the module's learning objectives because it is at the root of what the module is for--to help the new RGAs (who have not had experience working directly with Seasons Residents) get acclimatized to the experience of applying what they know in actual care situations.

This image will stimulate the RGAs curiousity because they know they have been learning a lot of information about best practices in dementia care but THEY HAVE NOT had a chance to apply those best practices yet. This image highlights to value of the module they are about to do.

Seeing as I am developing a training module on workplace investigations for an investigation firm with various different clients, one of the main POCs with the target audience would be via email by informing their clients about the new training available which is now part of their services. The training can be advertised as an added bonus of their services provided to ensure all of their clients have the necessary foundational information about workplace investigations. This would reach the target audience by building awareness around the training.

Action: Another POC with the target audience could be through action by advertising short learning snippets on the company website under the Training and Education section. The learning snippets would include short workplace scenarios (1-2 sentences) and follow-up knowledge check questions to connect the learners to relevant content and peak their interest through storytelling. Learners could also potentially register for the learning snippets on the company website and receive emails with the snippets on a regular basis (i.e. weekly, monthly, quarterly).

Transfer: Additionally, the learning snippet scenarios and follow-up knowledge check questions could also provide an opportunity to collect information on learning transfer over time.

Engagement: These learning snippets can be leveraged to engage learners and promote a culture of continued learning by offering a series of learning snippets AFTER participants complete the training to engage learners in a continues learning journey over time.

Shopify/Dev Degree: Leadership and Autonomy

This video POC would reach my target audience of Dev Degree interns because it provides an in-depth look into the company culture of Shopify.

It would draw them into the learning by presenting Shopify’s a modern and empathetic view on leadership. A key takeaway is that Shopify desires to build humble leaders who do not rely on power to drive them. This approach promotes unique and creative ways of thinking within the company.

Adrien Cho’s interview stimulates the learner’s curiosity by promoting curiosity itself. Shopify thrives on problem-solving and intrinsic growth, and I think the desire to prove oneself in the field is a great motivating factor for new interns in the Dev Degree program.

Suzanne Cheng, Workplace Investigations: Investigative Interviews

POC: daily text message for 7 days, with a link to a multiple-choice question.

Visitors to Shearer Parnega LLPs’ website are invited to sign up for the “Be a Better Investigative Interviewer in 7 Days” experience. Participants receive a link via text daily for 7 days, which takes them to a single multiple choice question asking them to pick the best open ended question to ask the interviewee. The purpose of the question is not to test the learner’s knowledge, but to guide them to choose the one open ended question among all the closed questions. Answering correctly awards the learner a star. At the end of the week, the learner can see how many stars they got out of 7.

This POC would reach my target audience of novice workplace investigators because the audience is already interested in participating in a workplace investigation or hiring investigators by being on the SME’s website.

It would draw them into the learning by offering fast results with the “7 day” promise and the small time commitment/effort (each day just click on the link and click on one answer), delivered right to their smartphone.

Simple repetition will help them acquire the skill of recognizing an open-ended question vs closed or leading questions.

POC: Case Studies webpage

The Case Studies webpage would be hosted on the SME’s website.

Every month, the SMEs will post a case study which is a fictionalized version/combination of real investigations described in < 500 words (max 2 min read). The learner is presented with a choice of key issues investigators should pursue and asked to number them in order of importance.

After the learner submits their choices, they are shown the results of a running social poll. Learners will see how their answers compare to those of other learners. Learners can then send comments or questions to the SMEs via a comments box.

The next month, the SMEs will post a response to all the learner comments and the social poll, followed by a new case study.

This POC would reach my target audience of novice workplace investigators because it is accessed via the SME’s website. Learners are already interested in being investigators or hiring investigators.

It would draw them into the learning by providing “real world" examples to relate to their own situations.

It also stimulates their curiosity by offering contrasting views from other learners and the SMEs.

This POC (poster) would reach this audience because it could be sent to instructors as part of a subscription package to EQuALS. They could distribute the poster as a kind of teaser to take the course. The poster stimulates their curiosity by tapping into some of the fears and insecurities students have about passing their exams. It presents the hopeful idea that they have what it takes to pass--they just need some tools to leverage what they already have.

An app simulating dementia symptoms at the supermarket, on the road and at home.

This POC would reach my target audience of newly hired registered guest attendants (RGAs) who work with people living with dementia because it would help them understand the challenges which accompany dementia. It would draw them into the learning by simulating the cognitive, emotional and physical limitations experienced by the residents and help them better understand the condition’s emotional toll. By stepping into the shoes of the residents and navigating daily tasks, like grocery shopping, the RGAs put their dementia googles on and experience life the way a person living at Seasons Retirement Communities might. It also motivates them to be better caregivers by promoting person-centered care.

Crysi Popowich | Providing Lending Support

This POC would engage my audience by including them in the development of future learning.

This channel fits my aim of having the learners turn inquiries into learning opportunities.

When collecting prototype feedback, tenured members of the learning group asked for more content that they can deliver to their teams, while asking/offering to contribute toward more projects.

What better way to expand the Lending Support learning and build out our 70/20/10 model than to include the learners in the development of learning content?

As a lean learning team for a rapidly growing organization, we do not have capacity to provide learning, for every topic, especially for the ever growing amount of 'institutional knowledge', that is not documented. By connecting learners with SMEs across business units (see Engagement) they will gather incredible exposure to best practices and institutional knowledge, at a rate far faster than what the learning team cold ever accomplish. They can document and deliver this info to the learning team who can then 'beautify' the content and return it to the learners to deliver to their respective teams, with enthusiasm, as they have had a hand in creating the content themselves. This will build the learners collaborative skills, increase their understanding of the organization, foster and enhance their communication and facilitation skills, as well as reinforce their learning by having them teach back, all of which contribute to the 20% and 70% portions of the 70/20/10 model.

As an added benefit, this will also make it easier, for our learning team to catalogue, distribute, and maintain content.

Mylène Beauchamp | REACH– CEO (Chief Empathy Officer) Quiz to peak curiosity

I absolutely love the learning campaign that was put together by Catalyst for International Women’s Day 2022. The played around the concept of CEO and made it into a Chief Empathy Officer teaser.

As a POC for my target audience, I would use this same play on words and create a short quiz (max 5 questions) around the competencies and behaviours we would be looking for and observing in a Chief Empathy Officer. The questions would reinforce observable behaviours linked to the three types of empathy, something covered in Week 1 of our Empathy Challenge.

I think it might be interesting to finish on a catchy phrase such as: ‘’Ready to boost your empathy skills to the level of Chief Empathy Officer? Join the 21-Day Empathy Challenge’’.

See Catalyst Empathy Quiz as an example.

#BiasCorrect over 60 years of unconscious beliefs.

When Catalyst started in 1962, Help wanted ads were separated by gender and race. Fast forward sixty years, and bias has continued to fuel invisible barriers for women on their way to the top. Skills traditionally considered "feminine," like empathy, are still deemed inappropriate for leadership.

Catalyst research proves that our biases are all wrong. A culture of empathic leadership is key to supporting gender equity at work and contributes to more inclusive workplace experiences. Empathy is actually one of the most crucial leadership skills-one that everyone is capable of learning.

Want to be a CEO (Chief Empathy Officer)?

Help us #BiasCorrect over 60 years of unconscious beliefs about the skills that make a great leader by becoming a CEO, or Chief Empathy Officer. Leadership skills are applied at every level of an organization, and empathy can be learned by every employee. Take these steps to become a CEO:

1. Take the empathy quiz.
2. Add CEO title to your LinkedIn profile.
3. Create and share your personalized CEO Magazine cover.
4. Download and share empathy cards.

As mentioned in my REACH entry, I loved what Catalyst has done around empathy for International Women’s Day 2022.

For this POC, I would create Empathy Cards as learning snippets to peak curiosity of learner. As the Empathy Challenge is a personal project, it may grow to be delivered in various formats. How the Empathy Cards would be used would depend on my target audience (e.g.: an intact team/closed group or an asynchronous/open enrollment group) – it could be through email if the group/team is enrolled in the Challenge or through social media to gain interest and buy-in.

The Empathy Cards would provide learners with foundational content on empathy and help demystify empathy. See the Catalyst Empathy Card as an example.

It would draw them into the learning by providing a quick 30 second promo video that is a sneak-peek of what is to come and how they will be supported throughout the summer. The hope is to capture attention and stir interest.

It also stimulates their curiosity with leaving them thinking, "what's next"? A follow-up email is sent a week later with next steps, but in the meantime, we encourage students in the email to check-out our website for more information. "Sneak-peek" videos have worked very well for us with marketing to young-adults and for the academic preparation modules, I plan to create a similar 30 video to intro the benefits of preparing for academic life.

Heather Gaffney - Academic Preparation for Incoming University Students (Laurier 101 program)

This POC would reach my target audience of incoming university students because they are highly active on Instagram and enjoy connecting with our content in Stories.
It would draw them into the learning when we ask them multiple choice or this-or-that questions in stories which gauges their current comfort or skill level with university-related competencies. For example, we will ask them on Instagram Stories, "How prepared do you feel for starting university in September? A) Feeling great and can't wait! B) Feeling excited with some nerves. C) Feeling so so but still lots of questions. D) Not prepared yet but I'll get there soon!" Their answers stimulate their interest in university preparation and then after a series of engaging questions, we send them to resources that will help answer their questions over the summer.

It also stimulates their curiosity with introducing them to some topics or skills they may not be thinking about during the summer before starting university such as time management in university. When we can identify a gap in their skills or they emotionally connect and think "maybe I'm not as prepared as I thought..." then this pulls them into the Laurier 101 program and the academic preparation content. Social media has worked very well for us with this group and I look forward to increasing the "pull" techniques to engage more students in our content!

I'm  confident that its features are an excellent fit for social learning in my project, since outcomes are about bringing people together and sustaining a culture of curiosity in clearer communication, whether on-the-go, at home or for work. Live video meetups are easy to setup. Long story short, Mighty is like a social platform that takes participants down the same learning journey, as opposed to a social media vacuum that sucks you down multiple rabbit holes. Thank god! By the way, MN is one of the few social platforms owned and operated by a woman, in an industry where the glass ceiling is ever present and particularly low.

This POC is a way for RGA's providing care for people living with dementia, to exercise reflection while they navigate their first months on the job. Diarium is a free journaling app with which they can create text or voice-to-text notes.

This channel would help learners refine their practice by encouraging them to conduct trial and error analysis of their approaches as they deliver person-centered care.

It sustains their engagement by giving them a quick and effective way to "journal" without having to sit down and spend too much time writing. It also allows users to easily share notes and experiences with each other.
