What were the most important things we learned at the ASTD Conference?
"Go to their swamp"
ROI is important
Bite-size training -break it into chunks
Bob Pike's Stand Up / Sit Down activity
Focus on key points and eliminate the "fluff"
From Jim Collins' keynote:
- engage with questions
- be interested instead of interesting
- don't just have a job, have responsibilities
Always be willing to learn
Know your audience (and your material)
There's a change in mindset from focusing on Performance to focusing on Talent
Watching others present gives me perspective on how I present
Build relationships, not just transactions
Training is not always the answer (according to Bob Pike, its the 6th answer)
A way to quiet a large group... Say "If you can hear my voice, clap once. If you can hear my voice, clap twice..."
Find a job/career that gives you joy
Brand your training
There are SO many facets of the WLP (workplace learning & performance) field
I've been targeting the wrong clients!
The importance of setting up a leadership development program
Shift the responsibility of learning to the learner
A question to consider: "would I voluntarily sit through my own training?"
From Keith Ferazzi's keynote: "sunshine is the best disinfectant"
My Learning Organization is informal
Incorporating stories is very important
Figuring out what all people in my organization should know (i.e. diversity training for all)
Instructional Design choices: How much time to spend on activities vs. content
The importance of networking, both internally & externally
