The importance of staying informed about your business
Who Does the Best Thinking in Your Company?
If you believe you are the best strategic thinker in your organization, then you have a problem. If you tell your people what and where the opportunities are and then nudge, encourage, insist or demand they pursue them, then who owns the idea? You do. When you tell your people how and where to sell, you rob them of the opportunity to think for themselves.
How To Be A Better Speaker By Tomorrow Morning
Media events pop up on short notice, other speakers cancel, a new sales job requires a critical presentation…I have heard from people in all of these situations. You’ve been meaning to schedule time with a speaking coach, take that e-course, or join Toastmaster’s, because you know how important good public speaking is to your career. You know you can be a better public speaker, but you put if off and now you need to be one by tomorrow morning. Does this sound familiar?

The Leader As Learner
There was a time when only the most senior and the most junior organization leaders really made learning a priority. Senior leaders learned because they were responsible for crafting a competitive business strategy, and junior leaders learned because they were seeking to earn their place in the organization. Today, learning is every leader’s business. We are in the early stages of a digital global economy that is completely dismantling and recreating our existing social and financial frameworks. Markets are volatile, talent is in short-supply, information is rapidly and broadly dispersed, and traditional organizations are flattening and losing their boundaries. Leaders can no longer simply rely upon their positional power, domain knowledge, technical expertise and exclusive access to information. Now they need to become great learners too

Training is a Journey Not a Destination
When I was thinking about this article, one of the things that got me wondering was why we put ourselves through training, through learning. I was over 30 when I learned to drive first and I remember praying that the driving instructor would not turn up, that he would forget me, that I wouldn’t have to go through that awful vulnerable vacuum of being a learner…I couldn’t believe that I would ever get to the stage when I could actually hold the steering wheel with one hand and change the gears with the other.

An Integrated Training Assessment Program
An integrated assessment program also provides insight and development goals for the instructor and course design. Assessment is a diagnostic tool that ultimately helps the learners confirm what they have learned and helps the instructor plan for future learning or remediation. A well-built test is a quick and objective way to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the delivery of the learning program.

Completing the Learning Cycle – and Beyond
One of the most useful models I have found for understanding the learning cycle is the model described by Thomas Gordon as the “conscious competence learning stage model”. What I plan to do in this article is describe some of the “symptoms” of each part of the cycle, what learners need in this stage and give some practical illustrations.

Outstanding Performance
All successful people are outstanding performers. It's the price of admission to the business success club. However, don't make the mistake of thinking that performance alone will get you where you want to go. Performance is just one of the five characteristics of people who achieve business success. Outstanding performers are characterized by three things. They are lifelong learners; they set and achieve high goals and they are well organized.

The Learning Organization and the Leading Learner
What is a learning organization? How does a leading learner transform the typical organization from one of mediocrity to a machine of excellence?

I call these people leading learners when they also happen to occupy a leadership position within an organization.

Turning a Cinderella Training Course Into a thing of Beauty
Too many learners leave training programs as wise as when they went in! Some participants take away a few nuggets but frequently forget them in short order. This is particularly true in “soft skills training”. So if this is the case, why do organizations spend so much time, money and effort in providing employee training programs?
Good Enough Isn't
One of the biggest frustrations within the corporate learning community is the concept that conscious competence is good enough. In today’s difficult economy the competition for the fewer dollars available puts a premium on skill and what was good enough yesterday has become today’s minimum expectation. It’s time for the learning community to raise the bar and establish unconscious competence as the new goal of every learning opportunity. This will require the commitment of the corporate decision makers, those who coach the learners and the learners themselves.
