I hosted a couple of sessions on microlearning. I went to the ATD sponsored networking night on the USS Midway and the vendor-sponsored event, hosted by Vyond, at the Hard Rock Hotel on Tuesday. AllenCom: Really like what they are up to. 3D rendering; augmented and virtual reality. Super cool! You all were some curious people!

Quite ironically, while hosting this particular Coffee Chat (“Learning from Failure”), my internet failed and kicked me out of my own chat. Failure is part of life…because we’re human. However, the key is learning from those failures. Even more important is that we give ourselves the grace to have patience with our progress.

The session hosted by Matthew Pierce from TechSmith presenting “Types of Videos to Enhance Learning” was no exception and had that hamster wheel effect for me. During ATD ICE, I don’t always attend sessions that are an immediate fit for what I am doing at work, but sure enough, the hamster starts running anyway.

My daughter is hosting her own “Friendsgiving” – don’t you love this concept? So here I am preparing a dinner for two and as I pop tomorrow’s dressing into the refrigerator (even small, it pays to plan ahead), I’m thinking of everyone who has helped and supported Learning Rebels. I am humbled and grateful.

If we host a train the trainer that is all talk and no action, why should we expect those in the session to act differently after leaving? If we don’t hold up to our end of the bargain, why should they? If we aren’t vocal about how we, as learning professionals, are embracing learning curiosity – why should they?

We cannot be both the “head and the body” There are people who are cut out to be “performance consultants” and people who, until they die, will be awesome facilitators of training content – and a whole host of training positions in between. Do you consider yourself a “performance consultant”?

Plus, you might just rub elbows and ask questions of your L&D idols informally over a meal or in the halls or at one of the many after parties that vendors are always hosting. Never skimp on these things. In fact, this is exactly why I have taken to speaking, to gain greater access to the unofficial events where “the cool kids” hang out.

Unless you are discussing company policy that is not open for discussion (and I would ask you, why in the world are you hosting a class?) – allow and embrace debate. I think back on that now, and – WOW. Allow people to question the theory, question the research, or question you as a subject matter expert.

As I reflect on that conversation and prepare for a live webinar session coming up this Wednesday hosted by Litmos, about collaborative learning tools (11/08/2018) – it pains me to know that there are still people in the industry who are clinging to ways that just do not work any longer. No one ever lets us do that in a class.”
