Good visualization improves understanding, recollection and adoption. Poor or no visual communication impedes learning. Make your job easier. Use clear, compelling designs to achieve your learning objectives. No design skill needed.

Today's learners are continuously adaptive to new business demands. They learn while working. They adjust to rapid changes and are very resourceful in finding answers and solutions. Unfortunately, many learning systems are stuck with the old paradigms where learners have to slave away to derive useful answers.

Our changing world requires us to deal not only with the COVID-19 pandemic, but global warming, increasing natural disasters, and ongoing disruption led by technology. Stress resilience has become the top skill needed for health, happiness, and career longevity. But how do you help employees manage stress when it is unique to each person?

Marketing … We all dread it. It’s one extra thing to do on our ever-growing list of tasks. And, it’s usually a skill set we didn’t pick up along the way.

Your company is now online. You’re working remotely, providing training virtually, zoom, zooming the days away and the dust has — sort of  — settled. The workforce landscape is forever changed and innovation shouldn’t stop at just getting it all online or converted to digital quickly. A focus on performance should always be the focus and measure for all training and curriculum.

This presentation is an easy to follow roadmap showing you the necessary beginning steps to achieve success through increased sales.

No need to explain that times are crazy…we all get it. Organizations are desperate for timely and pertinent instruction as their people work from home. It’s great that L&D is the function your staff demands but the budgets are slashed. Instead of doing the obvious - converting  your existing workshops into blah blah webinars - L&D must be innovative, nimble and uplifting to deliver quality learning while keeping the cost low.  LECTURE AS A LAST RESORT is still and always critical for growing practical skills.   

There are many ways to wreck a PowerPoint slide. Behold these before-and-after gems from some of the worst train wrecks we've ever seen.

Let's face it: many of us obtain the knowledge and data we require to complete our work by using the internet. This informal learning trend is unlikely to change soon, so training professionals need to find a way to address it. Some are threatened by this reality; others have been tasked with quantifying and evaluating it.

First, panic ensues. Then comes paralysis. These are the usual responses of workers and organizations when crisis situations emerge.  

Are you managing a remote sales team? Our "new normal" of canceled meetings and travel restrictions means face-to-face sales are impossible.

This interactive webinar is specifically for sales managers and executives who are constantly negotiating and influencing their sales team to perform at the highest level (or conducting some of their own sales). It will be split into three parts:

You are just getting started with creating eLearning courses and have learned how to add different slides, add objects, and apply some transitions and effects to them. You have also learned how to convert the objects to buttons and trigger some actions on clicking the button. Now it’s time to take it a step further and learn how to create drag and drop interactions using Adobe Captivate.

"To make a mistake is human, but to blame it on someone else is… even more human."   Much of what’s happening in our organizations today is nothing more than a thinly veiled blame game.  Colleagues gather in post mortem meetings to "find out what went wrong." Managers use goals and accountability as weapons to dole out punishment when things change unexpectedly.  And sooner or later, we all find ourselves accidentally contributing to a culture of duck-and-cover as we create ever more complex forms of the argument that "I did my part, I can’t control everything."  

In this session, we will take a very prevalent term in our industry, "reskilling", and introduce it to a very new and trending term, "creator-centric". Can you imagine rebuilding your learning culture around the learner as the creator rather than the recipient of the content? It will happen but instead of it happening to your organization, make it happen for your organization.   

Prior to mid-March 2020, approximately eight million people worked from home in the US. With stay-at-home orders around the world, hundreds of millions have suddenly been added to the previously small pool of workers who are commonly considered remote employees. In the face of that dramatic shift, companies are left scrambling to re-imagine work, asking employees accustomed to working from an office to instantly evolve into a remote workforce.

Adopting remote-work opportunities delivers positive changes to critical business metrics, such as reduced expenses, increased productivity and engagement, and decreased turnover and attrition.

Everyone uses PowerPoint and everyone finds it both annoying and irritating. Especially the repetitive tasks, or times when you cry out in frustration that it can’t do something. Oh, and that’s not to mention 508 compliance issues, which are incredibly difficult to overcome in PowerPoint. But, you can change things by using add-ins for PowerPoint - magical tools that give you superhuman abilities to do things at light speed, or even things you couldn’t do before.

As companies stare down the challenges of an ever-expanding remote work environment, many are struggling to rapidly adapt the best practices needed to scale and support their remote training effor

Only 44% of HR professionals report that employees in their company give discretionary effort (energy above and beyond what is needed to keep their job).[1]   A leader’s role is to engage others to commit their full energy to the creation of value.  In some organizations today, based on the data, it feels like employees have unplugged from their energy source.

While sky-diving does provide some excellent examples of opportunities to master skills, in this session we will explore several facets of skills commonly explored in the process of training adults for the workplace.

Creating an impact from training is a challenge that learning professionals have grappled with for many years. Join Will Thalheimer as he shares his new research report on Learning Transfer, in conjunction with Emma Weber, Learning Transfer Specialist, who will share her expertise on how to put these ideas into practice.
