Take this concept away with you for application that will result in great learning experiences for participants while keeping you energized as well.

Nuts & Bolts of Social Media, October 21 2-3 pm

This session will cover basics of creating and sustaining community via social media tools. Rather than theory, participants will walk away with an understanding of how to implement and utilize these applications.

**Note: This is not a “change management” course. Those who restrict employee use of social tools and devices during the workday will not find this session useful.

Show Your Work, November 5, 2-3 pm

NEW! As training practitioners we spend a great deal of time talking about how people learn and how to help people learn and how to use that learning to help organizations improve. But “learning” often looks like doing, and talking with others about what we’re doing.  This is frequently how we learn and how we help others learn.  In this session we’ll look at what to narrate as well as how and when. The bottom line?   To improve workplace learning and knowledge management we need to stop saying, “Tell me what you do” and start asking, “Please show me how you did that?" 
Audience: Trainers, HR Professionals, Managers

Brain Bandwidth, December 17, 2-3 pm

Trainers and instructional designers know that much instruction simply places too many demands on learners in terms of volume, clarity, and memory. This session provides an overview of cognitive load considerations in instructional design. Particular emphasis is placed on how information can be presented in such a way as to avoid overloading the recipient's ability to receive, process, and understand the information (i.e., their "brain bandwidth").
