> Dear all,
>  
> As some of you may have already heard, the ICANN Academy WG has been working with Incite Learning, LLC to further evolve ways to enhance skills for chairs. We have piloted various approaches for the past two years and most recently have revamped the Chairing Skills Program (CSP) to become a one-day, face-to-face program that will better serve new ICANN chairs.
>  
> Unfortunately, as we are now facing a global pandemic, ICANN’s meetings have been virtual this year, which is an additional challenge for the chairs to be able to lead a group effectively. Therefore, as a preview to the new, revamped CSP that will eventually take place in person, we will be holding a 90-minute webinar onMonday, 7 December 2020 from 3:00-4:30pm UTC. 
>  
> The CSP addresses the chairing skills challenges that ICANN community chairs can face when taking up the responsibility of leading a working group or stakeholder group. The target audience for the webinar is ICANN Chairs that want to develop their chairing skills, especially newly elected chairs.
>  
> The webinar will focus on three areas that emerged from our design process as critical to success for chairs: Leadership, Communication, and Organization Skills. We will devote 30 minutes to each of the topics. Leadership skills will cover how to build trust in a group and how to convey the right balance of strength and warmth as a leader. Communication skills will explore asking questions, understanding positions, and building consensus. Organization skills is a combination of time management and meeting management - how to effectively prepare for meetings and get things done as a chair. The webinar is not meant to replace the full day experience, but rather to provide participants with both an overview to gain understanding and an opportunity to develop their personal network with other chairs.
>  
> The webinar will be delivered by David Kolb, Ph.D., the Managing Director of Incite Learning. David has been working with ICANN since 2013, providing training and coaching to the ICANN community, ICANN org, and others in the ICANN ecosystem. His focus is on leadership, interpersonal skills, and personal effectiveness. He has worked with several of the SO/ACs over the years and provided targeted training designed for their specific needs at the time.
>  
> If you or any new/current chairs from your stakeholder group are interested and available to participate in this webinar, please register here <https://forms.gle/6EYqq7NwqJEBa75Z7> by Monday, 30 November 2020 at 23:59 UTC.
> Once we have your registration, we will send a confirmation email with webinar details and the content slides.
>  
> We hope you can join us!
