 We're working on bringing you an enjoyable, affordable, and relevant training event this Spring (May 10, 2013). Look for a registration announcement to come out soon.  Happy Holidays SOTA wishes you a happy and prosperous 2013. We'll see you in the spring for our next event.  Registration is now open for SOTA's Holiday Event: Adopting Positive Strategies for Training (and Your Life). December 7 | 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM The Boat House at Confluence Park  SOTA has a new PO Box address. You can begin sending SOTA mail to: The State of Ohio Training Association P.O. Box 10784 Columbus, OH 43201  SOTA is very excited to bring two wonderful speakers in for our Fall 2012 event, “Plotting Your Course”. Because of the interactive nature of this program, if you have a laptop computer, please bring it with you. This event features the creator of the action mapping concept, Cathy Moore. Action mapping is a design process that helps you to work with your stakeholders to analyze the performance problem, commit to a measurable goal and focus on activities to alleviate the problem rather than information.  Can't make it to London for the Summer Olympics? SOTA's got you covered with our SOTA Summer Games. We're finalizing details and getting ready to open registration for Applying Gaming Techniques to Adult Learning Theory. Debra Riley from Ohio BWC will be our speaker, and you'll compete for the SOTA Gold Medal in a lighthearted game of Battle Decks. Registration will be $25 for this half-day workshop (or free if you've attended two recent SOTA events). It's our way of saying thank you for supporting SOTA. We appreciate you. We'll see you soon at the SOTA Summer Games.  Image © 2012 Duarte Design, Inc. "And something about story...We actually physically react to stories. We can't actually control our physical body. Our eyes will dilate so we can take in more of the information. You might get a chill down your spine. Your heart will race. You lean forward. You get a weird feeling in the pit of your stomach. These are all physical reactions to stories. And something happens when we, in our minds, tell ourselves, 'We're not a storyteller any more; we're a presenter.' You insert slides and everything flat lines." Announcing Registration for "Critical Thinking for Influential Storytelling" with Ruth Milligan03/22/2012 Register for: Critical Thinking for Influential Storytelling  On Friday, May, 11, 2012, we are honored to present Ruth Milligan, Executive Speech Coach and co-curator of TEDx Columbus, to share her techniques for creating masterful, resonating presentations. Ruth has a full day of Critical Thinking for Influential Storytelling in store for you. At Ruth’s request, we’ve capped registration for this SOTA event. Ruth's storytelling workshop typically costs $375, but we are pleased to say SOTA registration will remain only $79.00. (Where else can you spend an entire day with such a captivating speaker, which includes all materials, breakfast, lunch and snacks for this affordable price?)
