Ken Robinson Live – Almost!
As requested by some people I have put a link here to the audio version of the Sir Ken Robinson Interview which was on this morning. The audio quality is not great which is interesting since it sounded better live while I watched it. If you couldn’t make the webinar it is worth listening to.…

How do you define success?
Please read this blog post from Seth Godin first and then continue with my post. He does raise some good points. Does the teacher sound like you? I know that many of us are bound (or are we) by the systems that we must work within. In doing this do with stiffle real learning, do…

A learning design resource
I appear to write about creativity and innovation a great deal. I believe that is because I am concerned that a lot of training that I see is typically quite boring and very simple in structure. I found this resource recently which may assist you and possibly your team to break out of the boring…

Learning styles
Here is a different approach to learning styles that you might find interesting. It is from another blog called performing excellence which appears to be fairly new.

We are up to round three in the excellent trainer traits competition. Last weeks points went to: 3 points to Stuart (Guide), 2 points to Greg (Genuine) and 1 point to Matt (Galvanic).
