That’s DOPE – Making Every Voice Count!

Date and Time : May 12^th, 2021 / 10 am PT / 11 am MT /12 pm CT / 1 pm ET for one hour

Webinar Summary: We know how you say it matters, and now, in today’s multicultural world, why we said it is equally important. Our experiences and values lead us to unique perspectives about our behavior. A correctional organization’s ability to leverage all voices is much like a music producer. Each unique perspective has its own melody, scale, and intensity that, when combined, can lead to making an impactful DOPE sound.

In the workplace, it’s the team’s collective finely tuned voice that, when in sync, will have the most considerable impact on success. Implementing the techniques that we will share with you will help you get to the D.O.P.E. sound/impact you are striving for. We will walk you through the steps of creating an environment, which allows your team to learn how to listen and be heard together. You will leave as producers with the latest tools to aid in encouraging the engagement and contributions indicative of a high-performing team.

Attendance in this one-hour interactive webinar sponsored by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) will benefit you and your team as you navigate leadership in today’s work environment.

Take-Aways : Techniques to create a (D.O.P.E) unified voice through:

• D iverse and Inclusive: Representative at all levels of the organization
• O pen and Fair: Transparent and equal access to opportunities
• P sychologically Safe Place: A space where people can feel free to be themselves
• E quitable: Access to shape and develop

How Do I Participate Effectively In a WebEx Event Center Webinar? How Do I Get Ready ?

For the best experience in your next NIC WebEx Event Center webinar, you’ll need a hands-free telephone, headset or earbuds, and an internet-enabled computer. For optimum learning, be in a quiet place, free from distractions/interruptions, sight-and-sound separated from others, where you can concentrate on what is happening during the webinar. A separate office space with a door to close is an ideal setting. Connect to the webinar audio bridge via a hands-free telephone, using earbuds/headset connected to your phone/cell phone, so your hands are free to interact with your keyboard.

While tablets and smartphones are also compatible with WebEx Events Center, several of the features are limited, and most devices require the installation of the Cisco WebEx app. Regardless of which device you plan to use, test its compatibility here. The link provides a quick test, and we strongly encourage you to do this before the webinar. If your browser does not pass the test, contact WebEx Technical Support at 1-877-669-1782 and tell them you will be attending an NIC webinar on NIC’s WebEx site at https://nicmeetings.webex.com They can help you troubleshoot connectivity issues.

NIC strongly recommends consulting with your agency/local IT , as you may encounter pop-up blocking and/or firewall issues that block the NIC WebEx webinar url.

A recording of this webinar will be available @ https://nicic.gov/webinars-broadcasts approximately two weeks after the live event.
