2021 Turkey Awards
What is a turkey? Well, besides a bird, I think most of us think of a bad product or service or in our case, system or solution. And yes, you are totally correct. For me, I toss in some terms that need to go or be stopped in their tracks before confusion does more to…
When those not in L&D or Training are overseeing your learning system
When your car needs repairs, who do you go and see? Likely a mechanic who has the knowledge and expertise (you hope) to solve it. When you have an issue with your lights at your home, who do you call? An electrician, who has the knowledge and expertise, oh and skills to solve it. Your…
Halloween Edition: Tricks and Treats
Spirit, That’s me Hi I’m Spirit. Dad isn’t around, so I am taking over. At least, until Voodoo, my brother comes back, and then see ya. Anyway, Dad walked away, and I wanted to tell you all the wonderful things I love to do on Halloween. Whine like a Banshee is fun. Then, Dad gives…
Platinum Picks for 2021
Growing up, Platinum always seemed this word, that well, I couldn’t really figure out. Oh sure, I experienced it in Chemistry (why are Chem teachers always so weird?). Excluding that, I was left in a daze. When my sister got engaged her ring was platinum. At that moment, I knew that platinum must mean pricey,…
In Memory – Corporate Instructional Designers
Let us take a trip back to the late 90s and 2000. After all, making one stop won’t be enough. For those of us who were there the first time around, we saw quite a bit with e-learning and the world for online corporate learning. Dinosaurs roamed. Dot.com was in full bloom. WebVan would go…
What should we do?
Where to go. That’s where I was this morning, actually the day before. Normally, I have an idea of what to write. Other times, an epiphany that zings into my brain on the day of the post. Then there are “this is what I will write” only to change my mind at the last second.…
Let the Rants Begin – Learning System Edition
If anyone has had a concussion and then suffered through post-concussion, you will likely bounce over onto the internet and see all those “medical experts”. Apparently, it can be resolved in one month. Wait, no, three months. Hold on. Perhaps a year or more. For me, it has lasted nearly three months, which allows one…
Info you need to know – To Boost Success
I moved several months ago. I didn’t know what to expect in my town. I fell in love with the mountain views, having the extensive property in the desert. I was anticipating the summer, the intense heat (which actually isn’t that bad), I knew what I thought I knew. Then the deer started to appear.…
Get Your Red Hot Skills Functionality
Which came first? The chicken or dinner at KFC? Knowledge or Skill building and development? Skills today are super hot and as a few readers mentioned the other day on LinkedIn, it is not new. Yes, there have been systems with skills frameworks and skills tied to career development (but I’d argue more with TM/PM…
Reader’s Mailbag – You Ask, I Respond
I started up again, a reader’s mailbag where you can submit questions to me. This new version (debut here), is based on questions I have received via social media, email direct, and my website. Before diving into the Q/A, for those who are interested but unaware, I know have a LinkedIn Group, called E-Learning Coach,…
