Learning Rebels Podcast

Going LIVE with Rachel Burnham!

Rachel has the type of energy that beckons everyone to be a part of it. When she tells a story, all you want to do is lean in, listen, and be enveloped in the message.

Rachel’s journey

I have been lucky enough to be connected with Rachel for a few years, and she just recently hosted a Learning Rebels “Learn Something New Wednesday” about the art of sketchnoting (the link is below). However, I wanted to know how she got there from here, what was her story?

Rachel does not disappoint - through the serendipitous event of a kitchen fire, she is able to connect us to her story through the fire and valuable time spent with her father.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

It all started with the question on the table: How can we create a safe environment for people to shake off training baggage? Where they feel safe to contribute experiences and stories?

So many wonderful ideas to try!

This was clearly a topic that resonated with everyone. The chat was a high-traffic area!

This is what I love about our community. We are a group that shares gracefully and discusses ideas with the intention of learning from each other - a very real representation of creating a safe haven for discussions.

And in true Coffee Chat style, questions begat questions.

• We discussed that most trainers have a ground rule around expecting everyone to speak up and participate, but what does that mean?

I hope you enjoy the conversation!

#AllTheIdeas!

It all started with the question on the table: What are your creative solutions for debriefing and learning reflection?

Participants develop insight into their growth by reflecting on and recognizing the knowledge and skills shared in sessions or workshops. A well-moderated debrief session also makes learners aware of future learning requirements to lift current learning to a new level.

This chat offered some stellar ideas - but as usual, it all begins with the person in the front of the room. Are we setting aside our egos to allow for proper questioning and constructive challenges?

How are we creating a safe place to ask questions - no one wants to be seen as “the only one who doesn’t understand.” Therefore creating a space for anonymity, as Jason suggested, is a bright idea.

There will always be someone who doesn’t feel comfortable contributing and those who take over the conversations - the key is balancing both to allow everyone’s voice to be heard during the debriefing process.

Going LIVE with Gloria Alvarez!

Serendipity hit when I connected with Gloria! Finding an LD person who did not only have visual design skills but was educated at the Art Institute of Houston…well that’s the universe talking. And I had to take advantage of it!

Why this, Why now?

The art of visual design is often treated as an afterthought with L&D. However, with tools such as Canva at our fingertips, there is no excuse for bad design. Bad visual design creates an unnecessary barrier to learning and many times drives people immediately to cognitive or sensory overload.

You can find Gloria on LinkedIn, where she also takes on graphic design work. So, if you simply don't have the time to create your own designs, look Gloria up!

Sit back and enjoy the ride.

Such an energetic conversation!

One of the things we discussed was the importance of having grace.

Remember, tribal knowledge can be a hard thing to fight. We all have biases that get in the way of learning something different or keeps us from course correcting.

Critical is the idea of doing your own research. Take information from someone you trust, and conduct some research with an unbiased eye.

THIS is how we beat back myths. By growing our own knowledge and providing guidance when necessary. We discussed "repeating the truth, not the myth." Which is PERFECT. Share the correct information.

When someone says, "let's be sure we touch on all the learning styles in our programs," we can simply say, "I think what you mean is create content that supports the exchange of knowledge," and leave it there. If the conversation persists, then you can too.

In this solo podcast, I wanted to share with you the lessons I’ve learned in my 30 years in Learning and Development. 

When I started, I knew less than nothing about adult and workplace learning from an educational perspective. My educational background was in Business, not people. And this was WAY before the advent of the Google machine.

What I did have in my possession was an old ATD handbook from the 1970s. Which, surprisingly, is still relevant today.

I read,

I took classes,

I researched,

I went to conferences.

I listened and learned from industry experts such as Pike, Rossett, Allen, Biech, Kirkpatrick, and Stolovitch. I got on mailing lists for ATD (then ASTD), ISPI, AMA -  just to name a few. As the years passed, there were things that I learned that held up and other things that didn’t - that’s life. Things change. Research is updated, and old processes reflect improvements.

Therefore, based on this - here are 4 things that I discovered were important on my path to building Learning Rebels.

Curiosity

There’s nothing that underpins my work more than having a curious mindset. It’s critical that curiosity not simply be the byproduct of serendipitous events. It should be time spent listening, watching and intentionally questioning what surrounds us.

Here are some resources to support your curious mindset

• Learning Rebels Blog Post: Curiosity as a Business Practice

Experimenting

Alongside curiosity sits the importance of experimentation. If nothing else, my road with experiments taught me that experimenting isn’t about skill or tools, it’s about mindset.

Experiments can be a game changer for Learning and Development and an area where the greatest improvement is needed.

So many great ideas were shared in this episode that I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t know where to start - so here are some ideas for you.

1. Sometimes we just need to step away. Shake off the work vibes and shift your location or mindset. Create triggers that tell your mind you're ready to learn!

I love how our group is so generous with their knowledge and support!

It all starts with the BIG question: What is Instructional Design and what does it mean in today's ever-changing workplace?

Several years ago, I wrote a blog post titled "Instructional Design Isn't Dead." I suppose now, I could write a post about how "Instructional design isn't dead. It just has a new name".

But as Shakespeare said, "A rose by another name is still a rose." And this holds true for instructional design.

Today’s chat took us through a journey of what the role of instructional design should be and the importance of keeping business goals as our North Star. It’s critical we have the ability to communicate our value in business terms.

Going LIVE with Andrew Jacobs!

It’s always nice to have Andrew Jacobs, owner of Llarn Learning Services, visit the Learning Rebels Coffee Chat and share his expertise in the L&D field. However, today I wanted to dig in a bit deeper to discover the back story behind his popular, “Women Talking About Learning” podcast.

Why this, Why now?

What were his thoughts behind being a man hosting a podcast about women in Learning? And how can we all do more to lift the voices of women everywhere?

In short, Andrew sees the underrepresentation of women in senior roles in the learning function and uses his podcast to amplify women’s voices as they tell their stories all while talking about Learning and Development.

Sit back and enjoy the ride.
