On this Q&A episode of the BLOC, I answer (from my experience and opinion) the following questions:
- I want to get into an L&D career - what should I do? (or some form of this)
- What is the best way to tell someone, "Uh, no dude, that is not MY job, that is YOUR job"?
- I have a new learning program that I am trying to launch, and I just can’t get buy-in past my own boss. What can I do?
- I met with a SME last week, and I asked a TON of needs analysis questions that I don’t think she had even considered. She literally just came to my boss and tried to order an e-learning course on leadership. When I starting asking questions, she became really defensive. After the meeting, she emailed my boss and asked for a different instructional designer to be in charge of the project because I didn’t “understand her vision.” What should I do?
- I’m looking for more professional development opportunities in L&D. How do I know which conferences to go to and which conferences are going to have the same old content?
