T Is For Training

SEEMS LIKE TALKSHOE STARTED RECORDING EARLY. there is a bit of dead air. Fast forward to the 745 mark to start the show. Damn new interface. We talked the future of training and tried to look ahead (and look behind) 17 years to see what things will be needed to be successful learners and learning professionals and what the learners will expect from training. Then we talked about how we have to look past the language of many books to grab the important ideas that are buried in what can be considered difficult to read through language. Peter Drucker and Mark Twain were two examples of this. There were some other nuggets about the past and the future. Go ahead and listen.

Using an article from Medium.com Use ‘Metaphorical Scaffolding’ to Learn Hard Stuff we had a discussion that talked about how to do metaphorical training, how to keep up with pop culture to make sure your metaphors speak to your whole audience, and our current experience with the talkshoe interface, which has changed a bit.
