This is great. I might steal that. :) It's so important for the team to feel safe to be able to discuss failures/snags and learn from them.

Oh that's a great idea.

Watch for @kpagano.bsky.social 's new book on skills coming this fall. #learnchat Meantime, he's something from her: www.learningguild.com/insights/308...

Thank you so much for being here tonight. We really appreciate it. Make sure you let us know when that book comes out! #LearnChat

We've got a great conference coming up June 12 & 13, 2025 (Toronto). The Canadian eLearning Conferece will be celebrating it's 14th year. We've got a great line up of workshops and sessions to attend. More info and registration can be found here: canadianelearning.ca #LearnChat #cdnelearning

Me too. We need to talk!!!!! #LearnChat

#learnchat A6) My next book is going to be on building expertise in the age of AI - it's really NOT about every skill you have, but what you're particularly good at. As work changes with AI, this is going to be even more important. (Yes, I know, my skills book hasn't even come out yet...)

I think if you can develop a good mentorship program is one way for an employee get feedback and inspiration on where they want to develop further. I've seen it done once in a great case study where the mentorship program lasted for at least a year. #LearnChat

#learnchat A4) Written and verbal communication are often looked at outside of work contexts, but as a leader, someone who can clearly articulate a problem, potential solutions, their recommendation and impact is priceless. Getting specific with tasks and success metrics is key

I see them trying to use Personal Development Plans, and 360 assessments, and mapping competencies to org values. None of which I think do a good job of acually identifying and development transferable skills. Seem like "oh this tool will help us do it"
"no maybe this one" #LearnChat

Thank you for sharing.

Ahhhh. So just because you know how a hammer works doesn't mean you can actually hit a nail. #LearnChat

I wish I had thought of this years ago when I was actually collecting/developing lots of skills. I suppose at one point I had more of an online portfolio that I could reference and see a knowledge shift in. #LearnChat

Make sure if you are using deck.blue and have a column set to filter for #LearnChat that you click the Gear/Settings in the upper right corner of the column. You can change the refresh rate to 15s - default is 5 min.

Just like when I pick up my phone to look at the weather for tomorrow and immediately search instead for "100 ways to make mash potatoes". #LearnChat

That is all too true. Speaking of.... I learned this week that if my Storyline course is only sending 2 questions to the LMS chances are I FORGOT TO ENSURE ALL QUESTIONS were ticked off on the results slide. LOL #learnchat

I was looking forward to seeing what skills Nacho had to share with us tonight. #LearnChat

Hello #LearnChat Hope you are well. Glad to be here tonight to learn from you all.

I use deck.blue. I find it extremely helpful for following the chat. It's similar to the Tweetdeck. Just make sure you are following #LearnChat or the official #LearnChat feed - buff.ly/3ZM2XJx

Good to see everyone! Here’s my new report, just out at www.learningguild.com/insights/315.... #learnchat

a6) Take some time to learn who your audience is and create characters that resonate with them directly. (job, roles, backgrounds, etc. #LearnChat

Thank you. #Learnchat

Focusing on intent. I have a story about getting laid off. Naturally, I was angry, but it led to much learning for me. So, what do I want the listener to feel - my anger or my joy? If it's joy, I need to edit the bad stuff and keep the good. Your intent is not to tell a story. It's to move them.

Q6) Find your critical 20% and build your story around that. What will people USE? #learnchat

A6) When it comes to using stories for L&D, don't start by creating a story; put your efforts in finding the right story. IYKYK #LearnChat
