HR brings in a new employee and presents the “New Hire Show”. In fact, in many organizations, new hire onboarding is less about a “warm welcome” and more about ticking the compliance box. Perhaps it’s time to consider a new normal ? Creating Onboarding Zombies. Does this onboarding process sound familiar?

However, understanding how to collect, analyze, and present data in a meaningful and impactful way can make the difference between a project being approved or not. Where communication may be an L&D superpower, numbers are…less so. The first step is for L&D to become more data-literate. Data analytics can be daunting.

I saw lots of “presenting” and I know we can do better than that. If I’m paying to go to a conference, especially in today’s day and age, when all the sessions are recorded, shared, tweeted and covered, I’d like to know that the session delivery has been vetted.

Since I didn’t know myself, I couldn’t present myself as I wanted to. Looking back, it’s no wonder I didn’t get much out of the sessions I attended. I didn’t go into the conference knowing myself; I didn’t know what I wanted to accomplish. Reflecting on ATD2016 is painful and something I don’t want to do.
