"I have no time for learning and training.", "Must I attend this training?" We hear the complaints of learners. But what are we doing about it? Many studies and experts tell us that training and learning must focus on improving performance. However, performance improvement has always been a nebulous or difficult goal to achieve through training and learning programs. Bersin by Deloitte has released a recent study showing that training programs rank the lowest in the list that learners use to obtain knowledge to improve work. The highest source of knowledge is from connections within the organization.

Online content can be simple, or incredibly complicated, or anything in between.  But no matter how complicated, or how many activities you may have, all web-based content is based on the same basic languages that tell your browser how to display and work with your courses: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
There are many options for using social media to support our learning in classes, at conferences, and when participating in other events. In this session we’ll explore social media tools like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Periscope with a special emphasis on using them to support learning.  "Doin' the Socials" is full of examples and ideas for supporting your own learning and extending the reach of your work as a training practitioner. 
Exhausted at the end of a day of training? Sore feet? Cramped back? Throbbing head? Your job as a trainer/facilitator is to always keep the best interest of your learners in mind. You plan every move and craft each word coming from your lips to meet the needs of these folks. However, it’s hard to be on top of your game if you are in pain or just dog tired!  Let’s face it: training is HARD, PHYSICAL work! And some days we are up to the task more than others.

How do you truly become "PRESENT" in your webinars or virtual presentations? Most presenters and trainers think and act like they are carrying on a conversation with a tin can or a medium that has no people on the other end. Aside from the virtual and webinar tool, the presenter and trainer has the ability to transport themselves across to their audience -- and be felt and present.
Why are so few salespeople highly successful? Why do talented, intelligent people, with outstanding products and excellent training, still plateau well beneath their potential?
It’s no secret that organizations often fail to get a significant return on their sales training investments. Why? Because many organizations use event-based training without change management plans.

Will doing what you’ve been doing get you where you want to go? The Hard Reality! If your salesforce is somewhat normal, 20 percent are high performers. Are you content to leave this as it is? Or, are you searching for ways to improve?
Learning is changing at the speed of business or at least at the speed of new technology tools that enable learning.  Gone are the days of a single LMS and a simple web portal to communicate organizational information.  Now learners reach out to a wide variety of resources—usually digital platforms like Lynda.com, Google, Sharepoint and many others, but sometimes the resources are individuals within their network—to gain instant insights that can be applied immediately in the work flow.  Learning record stores (LRS) are beginning to track informal and social learning events, but even these tools only capture a fraction of the actual learning that occurs.
Visual Explosion - We are seeing a visual explosion in anything and everywhere. It is mind numbing. Each communication is trying to grab our attention. And this will just get worst.
The worst thing organizations can do is hire or promote the most technically competent person to management and not set them up for success. Leadership and management development programs only achieve one piece of what managers need to accomplish organizational goals. The rest should be done with manager onboarding. Using the principles of career development and employee onboarding, HR can contribute to bottom-line results by helping managers successfully onboard in their new roles.
Leaders read the headlines. They know about the survey data. The linkages between career development and productivity gains, expense reduction, quality improvements, innovation, and bottom-line results are obvious. And yet most organizations are still poor at growing talent. It's time to elevate the career conversation to its rightful ranks - give it the respect and title it deserves. Talking with people about their careers is a competency - perhaps the most powerful and under-utilized one at the leader's disposal.
It's the goal of every salesperson: getting access to senior client executives - the C-Level decision makers responsible for approving top-dollar deals.  Leaders at the highest corporate levels don’t always avoid sales pitches; in fact, they often welcome them, provided the salesperson approaches them the right way.  But how?
Even experienced training leaders will find themselves standing before groups whose dynamics are all over the board. Everyone has an opinion, some appear checked out, varying learning styles must be considered, and you’ve got to address difficult questions thrown at you at warp speed. Wouldn’t it be great to have the tools to (re)gain control of the room every time?
Each year learning and HR solutions are implemented with minimal performance change or impact.  This is because performance change requires the active involvement of management and the implementation of multiple solutions - single solutions rarely result in change.  Performance Consulting is a process designed to achieve business results by maximizing the performance of people and organizations.
If you are frustrated by your inability to make your webinars engaging, here's a blessing for you.  Every year, Lou Russell and the RMA staff partner with TMN to hold an annual webinar party.  We've done Halloween, Holiday / Christmas and Fourth of July (recordings available on TMN site). This year, we are focusing our gratitude on a Thanksgiving Party.
