    Off-the-Shelf Content: How to make it interesting and impactful

    When you do not have access to an expert in an area where your team needs further development, turning to a content library can be a quick and effective choice. However, more often than not, off-the-shelf content libraries turn out to be a great way to lose engagement with your learners.

    Skill Development: How many hours should you dedicate – 10,000 or 20?

    A few weeks ago, Josh Bersin posted a video link on Twitter that intrigued me. It read, “How to learn anything. Amazing”. I followed the link and for a little more than twenty minutes, I watched Josh Kaufman, author and business advisor, reveal a new approach for acquiring skills quickly with a small amount of practice each day. I was captivated.

    Live Instructor-led Virtual Training?: Help is here

    As a trainer, you thrive on live feedback. If you’re like me, audience interaction is what gets you through the day. In the classroom you know whether or not you have attendees’ attention, you can read their body language and change your presentation on the fly. It’s what you do best to ensure your learners do what they’re there to do... learn. However, in the virtual world that critical feedback is lost, which may leave you and your audience feeling isolated and bored.

    Prototyping for eLearning: Why it is important

    In December (2014), I was scheduled to teach two ATD e-Learning Instructional Design Certificate Programsback-to-back in New York City, leaving me with a weekend to entertain myself. On a Sunday afternoon I was lucky enough to take the train out to West Orange, New Jersey to pay a visit to Thomas Edison National Historical Park. The park preserves the laboratory that for forty years was the central workshop for the development of many of Edison’s most significant inventions, like the motion picture camera, improved phonographs, storage batteries, etc.

    You Get the Training You Buy: Not the one someone is trying to sell

    I have read a number of pieces over the last little while that seem to put sales training in a questionable light. No doubt like any business there are bad practises and bad practitioners, but I think some of the statements are a bit too general, self-serving, and frankly smell more like opinionated assumptions than considered thought or experience. I would offer up that in some, not many, cases the people buying the training are as much, if not more, at fault for the results as those ultimately delivering the training.

    As the workforce skews younger, companies are being forced to revisit their onboarding and training strategies. It’s becoming too costly for companies to continue foisting old-school ways of training on a generation that thinks, acts, and learns differently.
