In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with Carlos Alvarenga, Author of the new book , The Rules of Persuasion; How the World’s Greatest Communicators Convince, Inspire, Lead – and, Sometimes, Deceive exactly how persuasion works in all forms of human communication.

Show Topic:
Have you ever talked on the phone with someone and then met in real life only to be surprised at what the person looked like? What does the accent of television and movie characters speak to as to a character’s personality and skillset?

Accent bias effects how individuals process information and make decisions, both in the work environment and in life generally.

Show Topic:
Communication confusion is more then just another daily inconvenience as it impacts productivity, market share and ROI. Cutting the cost of confusion demands the ability to distill, integrate and synthesize information from a broad range of perspectives and disciplines.
In this episode, host CMA’s David Ciullo discusses with Rich Layton, Chief Clarity Officer of Transform Communications, his new book , Cutting the Cost of Confusion; Eliminate the High Price of Failure to Communicate.
Rich discusses the “secret sauce” of a disciplined methodology which blends strategic communication with risk management, which empowers leaders to overcome their organization’s communication challenges.

With a focus on benefits realization, Rich and select Transform partners create integrated knowledge bases and technical documentation systems that have delivered, literally, millions of dollars in bottom-line benefits. It is these decades of experience that provide the foundation for his book, “Cutting the Cost of Confusion.”

Show Topic:
Many HR professionals recognize that a hybrid work environment is what many employees are seeking. While creating policies and expectations are one element of appropriately implementing a hybrid work environment, many companies are struggling to “make it work.”
The question of how to engage employees and create an inclusive environment is difficult in person—let alone remote. Add into that managing a team that is partially in person and partially remote depending on the day of the week (or hour of the day) and managers have their hands full.
Have no fear! There are tools you can use to better manage the challenging elements of the hybrid work environment. On this episode of HR Power Hour, join co-host Tawny Alvarez as she talks to Dr. Keri Ohlrich, co-founder of Abbracci Group and co-author of The Way of the HR Warrior, concerning how HR Warriors can use the CHARGE® framework to manage the hybrid work environment.
Tawny and Dr. Ohlrich will discuss not only what the CHARGE® framework is, but also how employers can use Courage, Humility, Accuracy, Resiliency, Goal-Oriented, and Exemplary processes to practically manage the difficulties associated with Hybrid Work.
