T is For Training

So, audio on talkshoe failed. Diane couldn't hear me, so I did some house ads for myself (booking events in 2024 and 2025 at colemanassociates.net ) (How can I help your organization be and do better?) and my upcoming webinar for LibraryWorks called - Elevating Customer Satisfaction: Building Exceptional Library Experiences at https://www.libraryworks.com/webinars

Thanks for listening.... Think of it as Metal Machine Music. Less angry tho.

Jill and Maurice talked about a bunch of things. How you should have your act together before doing anything big, Or Small. What is justice and belonging and inclusion? Why libraries are both forts against ignorance and a symbol of colonialism. Yeah, we went there and we went deep. http://tisfortraining.wordpress.com

tisfortraining.wordpres.com Paul, Tom and Maurice talked about the "ahem" challenges with education and training, why institutions are afraid of change, how to teach so someone could learn.... and other stuff. Also, Maurice recommended a book. A rare treat indeed.

Some pull quotes: Detransforming Class; Hate when a student says "did i miss anything?" Yes, you did. Is the air out there tonight? Fear based education and We make connections. Make sure you don't build a car with a steering wheel in the back seat.

Jill, Tom and Maurice talked about Jane Hart's Top 100 Tools for Learning 2023 survey of 200 plus professionals. https://toptools4learning.com/ and Mike Taylor's https://mike-taylor.org/2023/09/04/2023-top-10-learning-tools/ Lots of conversation about the tools, the way the survey results were organized, if there was a missing layer to match tool to user modality, how lists were useful, who writes like pumpernickel bread, how we missed our good friend Paul and how some tools and institutions could use some time in the User Experience Woodshed.

Join Maurice, Jill, Paul and Tom as we talk questions you should ask yourself as a presenter. It was a wild ride of a show. So wild, we will use the same list (link on the blog at tisfortraining.wordpress.com) for the next show. Some pull quotes- Learn to train during a disaster. I'm Damn Good. Make it Memorable. You broke the training, not the ice. What the f is that? I need a better word.

So, we wanted to talk about unexpected technology failures, and we got a live example as Talkshoe decided to take a vacation today. We (Maurice, Jill, Andrea, Tom, Diane and Paul) took to zoom to record the session. We talked about what to do about unexpected interruptions and other things during a live, hybrid and virtual presentations. Check out the blog post on tisfortraining.wordpress.com

We started talking about the different directions of our work and then went in different directions. Lots of books in the show notes at tisfortraining.wordpress.com Lots of books. Paul, Jill, Tom, Diana and Maurice were on the call.
