    I am a trainer. I talk a lot and I write a lot. If you read this blog regularly you know that I also make mistakes when I write. Generally those mistakes are due to the fact that I am busy and I don’t often proof read what I have written. I am also aware…

    I was talking to a colleague yesterday and we were discussing elearning and video among many other topics and it reminded me that I had been bookmarking video’s for a post but still hadn’t got around to writing it. So here it is. The three videos below give you an insight into using video for…

  • They still don’t get it!

    I have been a trainer for many years now and it still surprises me when organisations still don’t get the importance of training and supporting their staff. Currently in NSW we have the State Government making thousands of people redundant. The sad truth here is that many of the departments are over staffed but that…

    This is a huge presentation. It would be great if it had been recorded on something like slideshare but still worth looking at. It does get very technical (stay in there for the middle section) but it is a good reminder of just how pervasive the internet has become. It could spark some ideas &…

    I was do a bit of cleaning during the wet long weekend and found this file. It is a good summary and reminder of all the things we need to remember when training adults. Hope it is useful for you. http://www.audiologynow.org/pdf/30AdultLearning.pdf

    Every trainer gets that worn out, slightly down, had enough, please give me a break feeling at times. I’m been working consistently hard lately, in some cases with challenging clients, and at times you just want to have a break, but the next day of training starts tomorrow and that new course needs to be…

    I recently delivered some change management seminars at a conference which were well received. Change management is basically pretty simple and involves good common sense practices but unfortunately when the change begins that often does not happen. It is over complicated and common sense leaves the organisation. Trainers need to understand change because every learning…
