• The Teachable Moment

  By James Neal - Experience and learning seems to happen in fits, stops, and starts. Sometimes it seems one is going nowhere or even backwards. Other times there is steady, plodding progress. And yet other times seem to be peak learning moments, when everything comes together. Such crescendous learning moments are often very memorable. As people look back over their lives they often note their watershed learning experiences - their first kiss, love, death, achievements, etc. Just prior to significant learning moments, one sits at the eye of the storm, having experienced the ups and downs and arounds, there is suddenly only pure curiosity and confidence in flowing with the task/problem/challenge. This state may be experienced as flow (or optimal arousal). In such moments, an individually is primed for discovering and developing a new understanding of a phenomena. It is a "teachable moment". ^new (Added: 14-Jan-2010 Hits: 116 )

Then again, he does say google will make inroads at work in 2010. Like, Huh? ^new (Added: 5-Jan-2010 Hits: 205 )

• The ten tough questions to ask your training vendor

  By Michael Wilkinson - If you are a typical purchaser considering a facilitation training class to attend or to have taught in-house, there are probably lots of standard questions you would a sk the training vendor. Common questions might include: What topics are taught? What are the desired outcomes? How long is the class? How much does it cost? Can it be customized? Based on these basic questions, you could very easily conclude that facilitation classes are pretty similar, so you might as well choose the least expensive or the most convenient in terms of location. ^new (Added: 1-Dec-2009 Hits: 168 )

• Giving negative feedback well

  By na - Giving negative feedback sucks. Period. It's uncomfortable for you and it's uncomfortable for the person hearing it. But no matter how much you twist and turn to avoid it, giving negative feedback may be the kindest way to change behaviour. And believe it or not, there are ways of delivering it that make it less painful for all parties involved. ^new (Added: 1-Dec-2009 Hits: 155 )
