(Gary Cohen). So perspective and how we
interpret the state of coming in really changes the game.
So we're just going to try to close it up because they're
going to rush me off with the hook pretty soon.
When faced with an uncertain situation, what order would you
ask the following--what is the problem, what is the goal, and
what will deliver the best results to this situation.
[no dialogue].
Tony, will you remind me after that I need to take care of this
slide and put an "ing" on the end...Thank you, yeah.
[no dialogue].
Okay, closing out--look at that, what will deliver the
best result taking the most.
Actually, leaders start with the goal, they then go to the
position, and then they figure out the strategy.
I can't tell you how many times I've seen this play out between
what I consider exceptional leaders and leaders.
Oftentimes people come in, I've got a problem, I've got a
problem, let's talk about the problem.
Leaders go right to whoa, whoa, whoa, what's the goal here,
what are we trying to accomplish; then what's the
situation, what's the context; and then what strategies
are we going to employ to do it.
And they do it with questions, like who's the
decision maker here, me or them.
What do I want them to learn, is this a learning
thing that's going on.
What is it that's the real goal of the conversation,
the metacognitive before we get to the situation.
What is it I want to have happen here as a leader.
Because oftentimes the leader is not thinking about the problem.
They're thinking about ten years from now this person being in
their shoes and needing to make and play the role of the
most senior leader in the organization.
So with that, who has a really interesting question that they
want to ask somebody here.
Come on, one.
You never know what happens if you ask it.
Oh come on, academic institution, we ask questions.
Okay, oh good, I'm going to need that little device there, yes.
[no dialogue].
And the question is?
(male speaker). What would it take to get
more faculty engaged with students outside the classroom?
(Gary). What a great question, and
what a great way to start it off.
The only thing is I would change it up a little to the positive,
which is, what have we seen that has been successful to
engage folks, so you put it in the positive.
But what I really wanted to do was to give that away and
thank you for asking that question.
[audience laughter].
So if there was one thing that you walked away this evening
with, just one, what would that be?
(audience response). Ask, don't tell.
(Gary). Awesome, awesome.
[audience applause].
(Tony DeAsentis). Oh, we have two mics going,
I'll just take it from here.
Thank you very much Gary.
Well we're moving into an extremely exciting portion of
the evening, and that is when we get to the innovation award.
But it's also an extremely exciting portion of the evening
for those of you who have not opened the little black box
on your table yet.
So this is a good time for you to actually open the
little black box and see the little gift of an icon that
you may have recognized on all the slides, a little pewter
pin there, so it's a discovery process, right, there you go.
So what we're going to do now is we're going to move into the
innovation award portion of the evening, and we're very excited
to kick this portion of our program off, and what I want
to do is give you a little bit of background about
how this is going to work.
The first is, you might be curious as to what the
individual chosen as the winner will take home with them.
First is this really cool-shaped trophy, which I really
like--whoops, it's backwards now--2007 Regional TurningPoint
Innovation Award winner, which is right here, and--
I believe it is--a 32-seat system, R/F response card
system, which is an excellent thing to take home.
Absolutely, it will help you ask lots of questions and strengthen
your leadership skills with your team, right?
And for those of you who attended my session today,
hopefully you will use it while asking questions of your
department to make good decisions, right?
So with that said--I'm going to move this over here so nobody
accidently kicks it over--what I'm going to do is I'm going to
invite our three nominees up to the stage one at a time, and
I will have an opportunity to introduce them as they come up.
Each of the individuals is going to give a short presentation,
and at the conclusion of all three presentations you, the
audience, will vote on which application, which innovation,
you believe is the one that should be choosen for the
regional award, and we'll simply do that by putting the
names up on screen and actually voting on them.
So with that said, I think we're ready to move forward--
Sheila, are we?
We're good, alright, and I think our first nominee--I'm sorry?
(audience response). [unclear audio].
(Tony). Ah, thank you--
is right after Gary.
(male speaker). [unclear audio].
(Tony). Let's go here...oh, I need
to exit...it would be the one labeled award.
No, I'm sorry, is it the one labeled award presentation,
thank you, okay, alright.
Alright, Regional TurningPoint Innovation Award, and I'm going
to click again, and hopefully there we go to the nominees.
And I'm not sure where the little remote ended up, so first
of all we have Brian Formiconi, Rosalind Franklin University.
[audience applause].
All three up here, okay, and in a minute we'll have
Jeffrey Stowell of Eastern Illinois University.
[audience applause].
And finally, John *** of Illinois State University...
[audience applause].
...will join us on the stage.
Okay, so Brian, are you ready to come up to the stage, and
can I help you with any organization.
Do you have a slide set?
Okay, alright, let's get you set-up there, and okay, great.
Oh, real quick, does everybody have their
response cards with them?
If you don't, we have extras up here, we'll bring them back
to you, just raise your hand if you need one.
All set...Brett...a couple in the back over where Matt is,
a couple over where Carrie is...anybody else?
Okay, thank you...Brian, it's all yours.
(Brian Formiconi). Thank you very much.
So, I'm a little intimidated right now because I plan on
spending the next couple minutes telling and
not asking, I'm sorry.
[audience laughter].
But what I'm going to be telling you is how to incorporate
multiple slides in TurningPoint, excuse me, multiple pictures in
TurningPoint, with just one slide, and so what this allows
a faculty or speaker to do is to give in a single slide
multiple options that are in picture form.
I selected for my presentation not stuff that we use in class
at the medical school, because I have a feeling that not too many
people would like to see pseudo-stratified epitheilum,
but I selected cars that I might never own, like the
McLaren and Bugatti and Porsche.
So I'm going to show you how to create a slide that can be used
in music, that can be used in science, especially in
chemistry or biology, or any other field where you're using
some sort of visual cue.
How this differs from let's say the parser or something that
allows multiple, different slides to each show a
single picture is that this is a time saver.
As long as you have clear slides that all fit onto one screen,
and let's say an audience of 30 people or in a large
lecture hall, and you get to encourage those people
that normally sit way in the back to come forward
so that way they can clearly see your slides.
