Let's face it. We've all taken bad training. You know, the kind...the "hold-your-nose-and-get-through-it-as-fast-as-you-can" training. We have outlined the top six mistakes to avoid to ensure your training programs don't stink.
Seminar 5 and 6 - Gibbs Cycle of Reflection and Evidence Table for Self Dir...Fahri Karakas
This is the third set of seminars this semester.
It includes two seminar activities: Gibbs Cycle of Reflection and Evidence Table for Self Directed Learning.
In the first activity, you will apply Gibbs Cycle of Reflection to become a better professional and individual. You will learn from tips and suggestions on how to choose a critical incident, how to engage in high-quality reflection, and how to apply each step of the Gibbs cycle of reflection.
In the second activity, you create your Evidence Table for Self Directed Learning. This activity will help you turn everything in your life into learning. It will provide you a systematic way to capture your fresh learning and insights that you acquire in the course of your daily life.
We live in an age of massive learning, imagination, and curiosity where you need to amplify your learning in all areas of your life. This means you need to turn everything in your life into learning; including:
-films, dramas, documentaries, and TV shows that you have watched,
- books and articles that you have read,
-arts and sports events you have attended (i.e. concerts, games, musicals, theatre, performances etc.),
-talks, seminars, conferences, workshops, classes, online - courses, or training programs you have learned from, and
your personal and professional experiences, insights, or observations.
Each activity is illustrated with examples.
Young individuals interested in their learning and development will benefit from doing both of these exercises.
Enjoy.

Sink or Swim? Supporting the Transition to New Manager - Webinar 03.27.14BizLibrary
60% of frontline managers fail within the first two years in their role. 26% felt they were not ready for the role, and 58% reported receiving no management training. What can you do to turn these numbers around?
This one-hour webinar is best suited to people who need to develop specific strategies and tactics to help new managers succeed. A crucial element to success is training as your newly promoted managers transition to roles that require new, and frequently unfamiliar, skills and competencies.
Topics we'll discuss:
•Change Management
•Leadership
•Communication
•Coaching
•Collaboration
•Supervision and Legal Awareness
In this presentation, I will present the easy 5-step model I personally use with my clients to start the conversation about career planning. Sometimes, I meet people that have already started the process (or even completed it several times already). Other times, I meet people who have never really spent much time thinking about their career plan.
How to Apply Design Thinking to Your Product by Pluralsight PMProduct School
Product Management is a multi-faceted discipline requiring the use of a broad range of skills and frameworks. At times, some of these frameworks may seem great in theory, but hard to apply in practice. In this talk, Keisha presented a real world application of Design Thinking and discussed how the type of research you perform can be a game-changer for the insights you uncover.
Life can sometimes feel like a competition. Most people want to come out on top in the day to day rat race of work, life, and personal challenges. Having strong idea generation skills as part of your creative process can fast track you on the journey to success. A winning idea gets results and stands out from the norm.
