I look a little like a lumberjack in this videocast, but it was a pleasure discussing the #humanizing power of #stories with Erick Prospero of Ninja Tropic eLearning. Thanks Erick! School of Story Design needastory.com lnkd.in/gTGxfmE4

How does one #humanize a learning experience in this space? What barriers exist? I will be writing about my experience at #ATD23 and how I (and the participants in my session) worked together to overcome the obstacles to humanization...through #stories an…lnkd.in/gdVNR3QP

JD Dillon has three times the energy and stamina for in-person facilitation than I do. This photo doesn't showcase his lime green sneakers and hoodie. I enjoyed getting to know him in face-to-face. I appreciate the variety of facilitation styles of each s…lnkd.in/gVmxvew9

So great to connect with Ryan Austin of Cognota and Fernando Sanchez Arias a fellow-CLO Coach. It's meaningful connections like these that make #ATD23 a special destination. If you're interested in the only learning operations system specific to L&D, try Cognot…lnkd.in/gBaC3eBF

In the sea of companies exhibiting at #ATD23, it was, as always, a pleasure seeing Andrea Laus at the SkillGym booth. As you can see from the stickers he was giving out, he's committed to giving people #practice. Imagine you're struggling with handling co…lnkd.in/gsaGRvpp

I was speaking to one of our clients this week who made the statement, "Our #training is so boring! We know we want to humanize it and we think that stories are a great way to do that, but we don't know how." I hear statements like this weekly. L&D depart…lnkd.in/gRMsnmCQ

You have a pretty good idea about what you'll be speaking on. You want to make it impactful. You've heard that stories are good for these kinds of speeches. You stare at some scribbled speaking notes and open a blank PowerPoint presentation. "Where do I b…lnkd.in/geq84k8j
