Leading an Innovation Culture
Jul 10, 2013 1:30pm-2:30pm
Online webinarOrganizations today recognize the need for sustained innovation in order to compete and survive in the global marketplace. But “innovation” is not just about a product (iPads and iPhones, for instance) or so-called “creative” individuals (Steve Jobs and Richard Branson). While these might represent the most visible and tangible evidence that innovation exists, there is far more to the story. Sustained innovation is more about a supportive and aligned culture than a singular product or individual.
For innovation to last, a number of key “cultural” factors such as systems, policies, values, and practices, to name a few, must all be aligned as best they can with the needs of the customer. The role of “leader” is vital, not because those in leadership roles are themselves creative and innovative (although that can often be the case), but because they control the very cultural factors that affect innovation.
In this webinar, we will explore the cultural factors that are critical to sustained innovation and suggest ways that leaders and associates alike can pave the way toward long-term success.

Inward Bound Mindfulness Education (iBme) is dedicated to improving the lives of teens, parents, and professionals. At iBme, we teach teens proven awareness & concentration practices that have been used for thousands of years. Teens learn how to settle a busy mind; how to skillfully handle emotions and thoughts; how to direct and sustain attention; how to cultivate compassion; and how to truly listen and communicate. Through mindfulness meditation, small group discussions, and fun workshop activities, participants experience a sense of connection & safety that many have never felt before.
At our teen mindfulness retreats, we offer teens, ages 14-19, an amazing opportunity to explore their body and mind through the practices of insight meditation; qi gong and yoga; delicious organic meals; and tools to deepen their listening and speaking skills through group mindfulness exercises and workshops in creative expression. These retreats are fun and transformational for teens and staff alike.
This summer’s teen retreat is being held at Sevenoaks Retreat Center, in Madison, Virginia, from Sunday, July 15 to Friday, July 20.

Also for those people who are interested in practicing what they’ve learned or just for those who would like to become more efficient dancers in social settings, Edwin and Amberlyn will be offering an Open Dance Practica every Friday right after the Nightclub Salsa classes. The Practica will be held from 9-11 p.m. at Zabor Dance. The participants of the classes are welcome to stay for the Practica for free. However, if you don’t take the classes, but would like to come to the Practica, the cost will be $3 per person at the door.
For these classes and the Open Dance Practica, it is required that the participants either wear ballroom, jazz, character, tango, or ballet shoes, or bring a pair of old socks that can be worn over your normal shoes. Please do not wear street shoes, sneakers or slip-on sandals for they will not be allowed on the dance floor (even if they have never been used before). If you wear shoes that do not fit the requirements, we will ask you to take your shoes off.
In order for us to provide better service to you, we strongly suggest that you arrive at least five minutes prior to your class to give yourself enough time to sign-up and prepare. In previous classes we have experienced a large number of participants. So, to avoid confusion, you MUST sign-up before taking the class.
