Accessibility and Everyday Activities

Accessibility and Everyday Activities in a Time After COVID-19

Learning Strategy, Learning Administration / By /

This weekend, I had a bit of car trouble that required my car to be towed from my home to a local dealership to be fixed. Nothing special, happens all the time, right? Well, not exactly. I came out of my house to greet the tow truck driver to make sure he knew where to take the car, etc. In doing so, I noticed he didn’t have a mask on but didn’t worry about it because we were distancing ourselves (6 feet) per CDC recommendations, and we were outside. As we were talking, he shared with me the consequences of masks for those with a hearing disability. He shared that he cannot always hear well and relies on reading lips to communicate.

Organizational Learning Strategy

Humans are a Venn Diagram. Why Isn’t Your Organizational Learning Strategy?

Workforce Development, Learning Strategy / By /

Back in March I attended the Training Industry Inc, Future of the Workforce Conference, and had the pleasure of attending the session led by Sonia Malik @ IBM. Sonia presented on automation, the future of work, and building a skills revolution inside of IBM – her presentation was informative and very relevant for learning organizations today. If you are interested, you should check out the recording here. But I digress.

Are you getting lost in a literal spider web of tech? Don’t remember why you bought it? Or did it seem like a good idea when it was presented, but realize it doesn’t fit into your learning strategy? Or maybe you don’t know where to begin, lack a learning or tech strategy, and just feeling lost.

What Do Monty Python and the Holy Grail and A Great Learning Organization Have In Common?

Learning Strategy / By /

I was first introduced to the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail in my senior year of high school. A teacher of mine thought me as way too serious of humans and suggested I need to learn to have a laugh. She gave me a copy as a gift (VHS not DVD thank you very much) and it became one of my favorite movies.

Do You Have What It Takes To Be Great – A Great Training Organization?

Learning Strategy / By /

As a child of the 70/80’s I grew up believing that if you wanted to be great – all you had to do was eat your frosted flakes every day. I was totally that kid that Tony the Tiger was created for! As an adult, I realize that being great is a somewhat more complicated proposition – individually and for organizations.

Digital Learning Experience

Blurred Lines…… It’s Catchy Name for a Tune But Not What You Want For Your Digital Learning Experience!

Learning Strategy, Learning Administration / By /

Now hear this ……. You are no Robin Thicke and Pharell ……. I mean sure, you are probably pretty cool, but as a learning designer, we implore you ……no blurred lines. Ok – so all silliness aside, let’s get serious for a moment about accessibility and digital learning product. Image if you will being John Every Employee. You have asked John to complete a mandatory training course – you know – code of conduct, keep out of company jail kind of stuff that we are all so excited to do every year…..repeat after us “I solemnly swear I am up to no good….” – ok we are there. But John can’t launch the course – and it is not because he has a browser issue or even an issue with the course itself per se.

Let Them Eat Cake: Authenticity, Leadership, and the Post COVID-19 World

Learning Strategy, Workforce Development / By /

“Let them eat cake. It did not work for Marie Antoinette and it does not work today. The recent pandemic has opened our eyes to how images of people are projected and especially how leaders show up. We are so used to highly produced videos or commercials of CEOs or other leaders all prim and proper and think – that’s how a leader is supposed to look and act.

Make Learning Stick

Make Learning Stick

Learning Strategy / By /

Make learning stick, this is something we hear from clients all the time and of course – like our schoolyard retort – it does resonate with us. Isn’t this what we as learning professionals are here to do? However, how many times we do we get so entrenched into learning models and theories, we forget about our most important goal – how we help build a culture of lifelong learning.
