Learning Rebels PodcastWhen Training isn’t Successful: Bridging the Learning/Doing GapIt 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
Lack of feedback mechanism and
Lack of learning reinforcement

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.

2023-10-1828 minLearning Rebels PodcastConnecting Curation to BusinessIt 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...

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.

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?

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.

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!

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...

Let’s address the elephant in the room – in the business world today, Learning and Development (L&D) teams can’t just focus on creating cool learning programs. Our role within the workplace today goes way beyond that. Our role requires a skill that may not be familiar to many L&D professionals and could be a bit uncomfortable, being business partners.

It all started with the question: How does Learning and Development (L&D) handle learning myths? Not about how to bust them but how to address them when they appear in the wild.

2023-04-2609 minLearning Rebels PodcastLearning from Others, Building a Collaborative Learning CultureHow meta was this episode? People collaborating about collaboration.
So many great ideas were shared in this episode. In particular, it was an ah-ha moment for me to attribute the “Fight, Flight or Freeze” reflex into a learning situation. And it’s true! If people are scared, worried, or fearful, solid collaboration simply won’t occur.
There was also mention of recognizing the difference between cooperative and collaborative learning.
Cooperative learning involves a group of individuals working together to achieve a common goal or complete a task. In contrast...

One of the things we discussed was the importance of having grace.
Remember, tribal knowledge can be a hard thing to fight. We all have biases that get in the way of learning something different or keeps us from course correcting.
Critical is the idea of doing your own research. Take information from someone you trust, and conduct some research with an unbiased eye.
THIS is how we beat back myths. By growing our own knowledge and providing guidance when...

In this solo podcast, I wanted to share with you the lessons I’ve learned in my 30 years in Learning and Development.
When I started, I knew less than nothing about adult and workplace learning from an educational perspective. My educational background was in Business, not people. And this was WAY before the advent of the Google machine.
What I did have in my possession was an old ATD handbook from the 1970s. Which, surprisingly, is still relevant today.

Sometimes we just need to step away. Shake off the work vibes and shift your location or mindset. Create triggers that tell your mind you're ready to learn!
Don't just make a date with learning on your calendar. Create a to-do list item! Nothing feels better than marking something off the to-do list. 😍

Several years ago, I wrote a blog post titled "Instructional Design Isn't Dead." I suppose now, I could write a post about how "Instructional design isn't dead. It just has a new name".
But as Shakespeare said, "A rose by another name is still a rose." And this holds true for instructional design.
