It all started with the BIG question on the table. How can we ensure that the skills and knowledge acquired during training are effectively applied in the workplace? We've all been there - we create what we feel is a learning solution that can't go wrong...then it does. Most of us have been there, done that, bought the tee-shirt and don't want to go back. We know that training fails for two reasons But there is a third, more realistic reason—lack of management involvement. Activating managers early and often is the key to success when bridging the learning/doing gap. The managers are the gatekeepers and it was clear in our discussion that we've been manager-blocked many times. Today we're going to be discussing the common pitfalls learning within organizations encounters, how we can provide ongoing learning support - without workplace disruption, and what tools we can use to help embed learning solutions into the organization?

It all started with the BIG question on the table. What skills will L&D need in order to remain relevant in the business world of the future? L&D is undergoing a seismic shift. With the advent of new technologies and changing workplace dynamics, we are facing challenges that are far more complex than ever before. And then there was the wake-up call. In December 2021, ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, dissolved its entire L&D department. The reason? They felt that many of their learning initiatives were not adding value and were merely "feel-good activities" with limited impact. Sure, there is more going on than meets the eye - but we can't deny that layoffs in L&D are on the rise. So what to do? We can prepare for the future because the future is now. Today, we are going to be discussing the skills that instructional designers, and L&D in general, will need in order to prepare and be successful for the future. Stay Curious!

Going LIVE - Sharing the Story of the Storyteller, Hadiya Nuriddin We all have something in our backgrounds that silently informs how we act and what we do, and Hadiya is no different. Hadiya’s journey It seems logical that Hadiya would want to grow up and be on the stage. Her skill for weaving a story is legendary. What wasn’t logical was how she grew away from acting and into customer support training for Kinko’s! With her Master’s Degree in Writing, she single-handedly took over training support. Writing job aids and other learning materials to help the poor customers who were struggling with that new-fangled technology of a floppy disk. Her story is inspirational. Who knew that little girl who was looking for her Oscar would grow up to write a book on Storytelling with another on the way for Quality Assurance? Yes, Quality Assurance!

It all started with the BIG question on the table. What are the different tools impacting the curation process, and what challenges do we need to overcome to ensure relevance and impact? Curation seems to be the L&D buzzword at the moment and while curation seems to be on everyone’s agenda - there’s a lot of anxiety over how to get started. Here's the Good News: advancements in technology have provided L&D professionals with an army of tools and platforms designed to streamline content curation. The bad news? These advances lead us to an army of tools. The sheer volume of available resources can be overwhelming, making it difficult to decide which tools are effective and will help us meet our curation goals. During our last Coffee Chat, we discussed how to align our curation efforts with the needs and goals of the business. This week, we're discussing the different tools and techniques we can use. Plus – Special Bonus! Mike Taylor joins us to share his views on the different tools he uses. Stay Curious! Shannon Learning Rebels Programs are pre-approved for CPTD/APTD eligibility!

It all started with the BIG question on the table. What strategies does L&D need to consider to align curated content with business goals? We’ve all seen the term “curation” used to describe the act of making generic content available either generally within the space of a social enterprise network such as Teams or Slack, or on a learning management platform. However, without considering how the curated content impacts the people and the business, we’re doing the same thing we’ve always done – haphazardly throwing content to the wind with low engagement and, therefore, adding no real value to the business. If we’re going to prove L&D value through curation efforts, then we can’t just keep doing the same thing only with a different name. We have to do more. So, it was timely that Mike Taylors CURATED model burst unto to scene. We were able to incorporate his model into our discussion about connecting curation to business. There was a lot to talk about and I hope you are able to take away key ideas to implement today. Stay Curious! Shannon Learning Rebels Programs are pre-approved for CPTD/APTD eligibility!

Going LIVE with Curation Guru Mike Taylor! We all have something in our backgrounds that silently informs how we act and what we do, and Mike is no different. Mike’s journey I was somewhat surprised, (but not really) to learn about Mike’s rich history in the IT space. His background in computer programming, IT and now cyber security clearly informs how he sees the internet. It developed his curious mindset around “what can the internet do for me” and setting up systems that allow him to find all the interesting bits from far-flung corners to share with all of us.

It all started with the BIG question on the table. What are the important steps to prepare us and stakeholders for more creative thinking when it comes to learning solutions? Note: Our previous coffee chat was different. The coffee chat crowd worked through a variety of creative problem solving techniques in break-out rooms and discussed their applicability. And because of this, we didn’t post the audio. However, this week, we carried over the conversation and focused on the "So What, Now What?" behind our next steps. Here’s the deal. We can't solve today's problems with yesterday's thinking. The world is simply evolving too quickly. As an L&D function, we must be more innovative and creative in how we treat learning solutions. However, one man's creative thinking is another man's waste of time. So how do we get everyone on the same page? How can we get our teams and our stakeholders to buy into the idea of thinking creatively? So today, we talked about the next steps to prepare us and stakeholders for more creative thinking. How do we get stakeholders on board with us, how can we put solid guard rails in place to host the most effective sessions, and what's the follow-up plan? I hope you follow the conversation to the end - there will be many ideas shared, and I know you will be able to take at least one or two and begin using it today! So, the big question on the table today is, "What is the ‘So What? Now What?’” and how can we get stakeholders onboard with more innovative thinking? Stay Curious!

It starts with a question: Why are we trying to tackle today’s problems with yesterday's thinking? Don’t you want to create learning solutions that are more than just “tick a box?” Don’t you want solutions that are tailored to fit the unique needs and aspirations of the people in your organization? Sure you do, and collectively getting ideas from key people allows the best innovations to bubble to the top. So why do we try to develop innovative solutions with traditional development practices? Let’s face it - In the L&D industry, resistance to change and the adoption of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) techniques can often be traced back to a reliance on the “we’ve always done it that way” approach. It’s time for a new approach - and I hope this episode inspires you to step out of the box and try new methods to gain more innovative ideas.

Going LIVE with Kevin Yates, the L&D Detective! After getting to know Kevin over the past year, his passion for the industry and his community was contagious and I knew I had to share his story. Kevin’s journey I did not know that Kevin had been a second-grade teacher! Just when you think you know someone… How can you walk away from this conversation and NOT feel inspired? This is a hometown boy from the southside of Chicago who has never left his roots. He saw a path that led to his inner passions and didn't give up. As Kevin admits, sometimes the work gets boring. But, this doesn't mean we have to throw in the towel - it's about the ongoing process of discovery. What can we find to ignite our passions? He didn't seek to become the L&D detective, it found him through exploration and curiosity. I hope you found his journey motivating and inspiring! Sit back and enjoy the ride. All the Resources!

It all started with the BIG question on the table. How can we tap into our inner business creativity more often? When it comes to creativity, as L&D professionals, we often think about being creative in a meeting or a classroom, but how can we encourage creativity as a culture? First, it means being aware of what is happening outside our own box, building relationships across departments, and providing the building blocks for creating a safe place to share creative ideas. Second, it means in order for us to bring our creative best (as well as develop the creative best in others), we have to build connections first. Even the first spark of commonality creates a tentative bond where we are a little less afraid to share ideas. So I hope this conversation sparked some ideas to help you connect and strengthen your creative tendencies. Stay Curious!

Going LIVE with Don Becker! Don first shared his expertise with the Learning Rebels Community while hosting a Learn Something New about gamification. It was then, I knew he had a story to tell - and boy did he! Don’s journey As Don has said - his journey to corporate L&D was a long and winding road. Filled with, as he called it, several gut punches and conversations with himself in the mirror. His journey from being unable to get into Law school, to cold calling community colleges asking for a gig, to taking middle school science to new levels, all while being a single dad - is a story you have to hear. If you ever think that something isn’t possible - then you have to listen to Don’s story to feel re-energized and know that NOTHING is impossible Sit back and enjoy the ride. All the Resources!

It all started with the BIG question on the table. Can comics help L&D communicate complex concepts, promote critical thinking, and foster greater learner engagement? Today we handed the microphone to Dr. Kevin Thorn as he answered all your burning questions about Educational Comics, from which types of comics are appropriate in a training situation to how reach across cultures with comics. There’s much to consider before we even put pen to paper and start sketching educational comics. Many different details about character development, scene assessment and messaging - all to ensure that we are connecting people to the message, not subliminally creating disengagement through poor structure. Educational Comics can be a powerful tool in your tool chest and Dr. Kevin helps us understand why. Stay Curious!

It all started with a conversation: Where can they buy my book? “I haven’t written a book.” “Really? I thought you had.” “Nope.” “Why not?” Cue: Awkward silence. Truth is, I’ve been asked to write a book several times. But I just can’t get out of my own head to do so. About this time, I saw an HBR article about Imposter Syndrome. The universe calls. So I hope this episode helps you to see that if you have these feelings, you are not alone. Take the negative inner dialog and leave it like day-old sushi at a gas station!

It all started with the BIG question on the table. When it comes to knowledge management tools, how can we leverage them effectively and what features should we be looking for? A lot of information being shared here! In our last coffee chat episode, we discussed the benefits of collecting stories and information. In this follow-up podcast, we dive deep into the deep well of knowledge of management tools and explore the latest trends, strategies, and insights that empower L&D professionals in their search for effective knowledge management. As Learning and Development (L&D) professionals, it is crucial to identify and implement the right knowledge management tools that can help us with curation efforts and also align with the overall organizational need. Once we accomplish this, we facilitate seamless knowledge-sharing and collaboration across people and departments. Burying information into the dark hole of your LMS system isn't the answer to knowledge management - so we have to think beyond this. I hope this coffee chat gave you some solid ideas to move forward. Video: https://vimeo.com/843859334/06405777cc Learning Rebels Programs are pre-approved for CPTD/APTD eligibility!

Going LIVE with Christy Tucker! Don’t be fooled by the inherent humbleness of Christy Tucker - this lady knows her stuff! And while most of us know her for her ability to create e-learning designs for companies like Cisco, it was her journey from teacher to designer that caught my interest. Christy’s journey I have been lucky enough to be connected with Christy for a few years, and we frequently cross paths at assorted conferences. Christy also just recently hosted a Learning Rebels “Learn Something New Wednesday” about “Creating Branching Scenarios in 90 minutes” - one of our most popular programs! (Go Christy!) However, I wanted to know how she got here from there. What was her story? Christy does not disappoint! I can’t believe she got her start as a girls-only middle school MUSIC teacher.

It all started with the BIG question on the table. How can we keep up with the knowledge and gather the stories that are leaving the business every day? There were a lot of ideas flowing in this chat. Everything from tools to processes. However, it all boils down to how we gather the knowledge and stories of people. People have a funny way of deciding how they want to tell and share their stories. This means starting with the basics. Seek first to understand! As Douglas stated - where does the story start? Is there a pain point to connect with? People want to know that they, and by extension their stories, have value. How are we, as L&D people and representatives of the organization, representing ourselves? Do the people feel they can trust us with their knowledge, that the stories will be told with the same passion shared? Are we asking for stories and then doing nothing with them? I hope that you took away some ideas for how to gather information, the importance of continuous documentation, and how we can incentivize those who participate in the gathering process. I hope one of you starts your own - Tradition, Trash or Try podcast! If you do, let me know.

It all started with the BIG question on the table. What strategies can L&D professionals employ to enhance cross-departmental communication and put us on a more even playing field with the business? This was a hot conversation - I think we all had some latent feelings about how we want and need to communicate with the business. I'll repeat this in case you missed it. Many times we focus on having a "seat at the table," which is great, but we're focused on the wrong table. We're focused on the leadership table when we should be focused on being accepted at the lunch table with the middle managers and team supervisors. This means shifting the way we communicate. We used the phrase "wimpy language" and while that may seem harsh - it can be true. The language we use to communicate can either make us equals to those at the table or make us "less than." Which would you rather be? I love that in the chat, everyone started reframing the "wimpy language" we use as L&D professionals. Words like collaboration, cooperation, and teambuilding, can trigger some serious PTSD for managers who have been part of well-meaning initiatives only to be a waste of time. This means that we need to reframe conversations. I hope you found some great examples in the conversation. Be sure to check out the “Verbal Toolkit” mentioned by David.

It’s all so exciting! In this Learning Rebels Solo, I wanted to focus my energy on diving into the power of attending conferences for professional growth. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your career, conferences can be a game-changer. Whether you attend conferences virtually or IRL - Conferences offer a unique platform for L&D professionals to expand their knowledge, network with industry leaders, and gain exposure to new ideas and trends. One of the primary benefits is not only the opportunity to learn from experts who share their insights, but to network and share stories from those who have been in the trenches with us. Not to mention that you can meet potential mentors and even future employers. The connections made at conferences can lead to new job opportunities, partnerships, and valuable industry connections. And who doesn’t want that? In this solocast, I shared 6 tips for you to act on, if you attended or are planning to attend an industry conference. But IMO, the most important tip is to take action!
