  ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

  https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganbillnoske/

  
  

  
  Megan Billnoske specializes in energy, innovation and simplification – she just happens to do training, speaking and coaching. Having lived through the ups and downs of leadership in corporate, non-profit and now as an entrepreneur, she’s laser-focused on her mission – to build champion leaders that can accomplish anything at work and in life.

  
  Her Purpose & Mission -- In 2022, she left corporate after 12 years to launch her own leadership company, IMSPIRE, LLC - a name modeled after the word 'inspire' - to breathe life into. In only her second year of business, she increased revenue by 4,000% with her marketing, communications and community service efforts to build her authentic brand. Because organizations partnered with her company in 2024, Megan then decided to create the IMSPIRE University Scholarship - further living her purpose by breathing life into students (and bringing her clients along the way).

  
  Her L&D Experience -- In her 15-year L&D career, Megan has trained 16,000+ leaders worldwide, worked across three key facets of Learning & Development (safety, leadership, and technical), led virtual teams, implemented multiple LMS platforms, created Learning Councils and spearheaded three company-wide strategy teams. The key to success is clean and simple project management.

  
  Organizations She's Worked For -- Throughout her career, Megan has collaborated with some of Texas’s most reputable organizations in healthcare, production, manufacturing, oil and gas, retail, higher education, Global Fortune 500 companies and more. Today, she continues to make an impact as a trusted partner with clients like HEB (the largest privately held grocer in the world) and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (the world’s largest rodeo), building even more champion leaders.

  
  Where She Volunteers -- ** Current President, National Speakers Association (NSA) Houston ** 2024 & 2023 Houston Business Journal 40 Under 40 Award nominee ** 2021 & 2022 Conference Chair, ATD Houston

  Digital Body Language by Erica Dhawan

  
  

  BRIEF DESCRIPTION

  
  

  Get ready to inspire others through Erica Dhawan’s book, Digital Body Language. Let’s connect with other Dallas ATD members and discuss this month’s book over a hot cup of Joe! Once a quarter, we will meet to discuss a new book related to Talent Development.

  
  

  During our chats, be prepared to talk about key insights, how you can apply those concepts, and the impact it will make on you. As always, the first two people to arrive in person will receive a MudLeaf Coffee gift card!

  
  

  Ways to obtain the book:

  • Kindle/Audible and Amazon Hardcover
  • Barnes & Noble
  • Local Public Library (examples):
  • Dallas Public Library - OverDrive
  • Plano Public Library System - OverDrive

  
  

  ABOUT THE BOOK

  
  

  The definitive guide to communicating and connecting in a hybrid world.

  
  

  Email replies that show up a week later. Video chats full of “oops sorry no you go” and “can you hear me?!” Ambiguous text-messages. Weird punctuation you can’t make heads or tails of. Is it any wonder communication takes us so much time and effort to figure out? How did we lose our innate capacity to understand each other?

  
  

  Humans rely on body language to connect and build trust, but with most of our communication happening from behind a screen, traditional body language signals are no longer visible -- or are they? In Digital Body Language, Erica Dhawan, a go-to thought leader on collaboration and a passionate communication junkie, combines cutting edge research with engaging storytelling to decode the new signals and cues that have replaced traditional body language across genders, generations, and culture. In real life, we lean in, uncross our arms, smile, nod and make eye contact to show we listen and care. Online, reading carefully is the new listening. Writing clearly is the new empathy. And a phone or video call is worth a thousand emails.

  
  

  Digital Body Language will turn your daily misunderstandings into a set of collectively understood laws that foster connection, no matter the distance. Dhawan investigates a wide array of exchanges―from large conferences and video meetings to daily emails, texts, IMs, and conference calls―and offers insights and solutions to build trust and clarity to anyone in our ever-changing world.
