354 — A simple guide to delivering better presentations

 It’s been 20 years since the launch of the Learning Performance Benchmark: the industry-leading tool for measuring the health of the L&amp;D profession. And, to celebrate, Ross G is joined on this week’s Mind Tools L&amp;D Podcast by some of the key players in that story.  Laura Overton, Founder of Learning Changemakers and Co-Creator of Emerging Stronger, set up the Benchmark in the first place.  Nahdia Khan, Chief Impact Officer of Mind Tools, is responsible for the Benchmark today.  Dr Anna Barnett, Senior Researcher at Mind Tools, analyses and writes up the Benchmark data.  And Michelle Ockers​, Organisational Learning Strategist &amp; Learning Team Capability Builder, Founder of Learning Uncut and Co-Creator of Emerging Stronger​ uses the Benchmark with her clients - so can give insight into its practical application for learning teams.  We discuss:    ·       L&amp;D’s changing relationship with social media  ·       The surprising decrease in blended learning  ·       The impact of the pandemic on where L&amp;D spends its time.  To read our 20th anniversary report, visit: https://mindtoolsbusiness.com/research-and-reports/l-d-in-organizations-20-years-of-research  To take the Benchmark, see: https://mindtoolsbusiness.com/solutions/learning-performance-benchmark  During the discussion, Michelle referenced the book Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.  In ‘What I Learnt This Week’, Nahdia discussed ‘L&amp;D's role in employee wellbeing: A 2023 survey’: https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/resources/lds-role-in-employee-wellbeing-a-2023-survey  Laura recommended the book Beyond Measure by James Vincent.

 Coaching, once the preserve of a privileged elite (ie: the leadership team), is increasingly seen as a useful tool that can help all of us perform better in our roles.

We discuss: ·       Opportunities to democratize coaching ·       The challenges associated with ‘managers as coach’ ·       How technology is shaping the future of coaching.  To find out more about Jenny, visit Sue, visit: jennygarrett.global/  If you’re wondering what happened to Skype, check out this post from Wired: wired.co.uk/article/skype-coronavirus-pandemic  (basically, it’s been largely replaced by Teams in the business world).  In ‘What I Learned this Week’, Owen discussed ‘How the biggest consumer apps got their first 1,000 users’, from Lenny’s Newsletter: lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-the-biggest-consumer-apps-got  Ross discussed The Economist’s take on ‘How Britain can become an AI superpower’: economist.com/leaders/2023/06/15/how-britain-can-become-an-ai-superpower  If, like Owen, you disagree with The Economist, contact: letters@economist.

 The HR and L&amp;D sectors are built on a foundation of outsourcing. Often, the secret ingredient to ensuring those products and services add value is… the person buying them!

Ross G and Gemma are joined, from our sales team, by Lara Kidd and Samantha Nicks.

347 — Can L&D make others more resilient?

The Mind Tools L&amp;D Podcast is a must-listen for anyone involved in Learning and Development or Human Resources. The weekly show features regular appearances from the Mind Tools team plus special guests to get right to the heart of issues affecting the L&amp;D and HR communities. From learning needs analysis and evidence-based practice through to the impact of technology on work and hot topics at industry conferences, you'll get critical insights into the world of work, performance and learning.

Empowering your employees and team members to perform at their best consistently requires looking at more than just productivity - and this podcast delivers so many different perspectives, ideas and inspiring voices to support you on that journey towards total optimization. I love the style of each episode and the variety of guests creates a multi-faceted perspective that lends itself to how work, performance and culture are evolving. Highly recommend listening and subscribing to GoodPractice today!

Empowering and entertaining!

Each week the GoodPractice team takes a mundane learning and development topic and brings a fresh perspective, asking insightful questions, and challenging common notions. If only the profession had this ability from the beginning. We&#39;d surely have progressed far further, faster. Well worth a weekly listen -- and don&#39;t be fooled by the titles. Most conversations go into far more interesting spaces.

The Mind Tools L&D Podcast

Everyone loves workplace learning. It means two days away from the office with the potential for a decent lunch! But it shouldn't actually involve 'learning', should it?

182 — What we learned at LT 2020

As more jobs become automated and the way we work changes, there's a need to constantly adapt. So this week on The GoodPractice Podcast, we're looking at how to develop learning agility: or the ability to learn, unlearn, and re-learn. Ross G, Owen and Giorgio are joined by Learn2Learn founder Arun Pradhan to discuss. If you'd like to share your thoughts on this episode, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson, @CoachGiorgio and @ArunZPradhan. To find out more about GoodPractice, visit goodpractice.com or tweet us @GoodPractice or @GoodPracticeAus. You can find out more about Arun at arunpradhan.com, or visit learn2learnapp.com.

128 — How do I develop learning agility? 

This week’s podcast covers the thorny topic of microlearning. We struggle to even define microlearning, so does the term have any real value? Is it ‘chunking’? ‘Performance support’? Can we agree on a definition that makes it useful? If so, what is it, and how can we help clients understand it? Ross G and Owen thrash out the answers with microlearning aficionado Shannon Tipton.

99 — Show Your Work

This week on The GoodPractice Podcast, we're talking fundamentals: how do people learn? Nick Shackleton-Jones joins Ross G and Owen to discuss his new book, How People Learn, in which he argues that people don't learn anything if they don't care. Or, to put it in Nick's term, if they don't have an 'affective response'. What does this mean and how should Nick's insights change our approach to designing courses, resources and experiences? Also: we argue about e-learning for ten minutes. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson and @ShackletonJones.

46 — Building an online learning community for L&D

Machine learning means that computers can teach themselves without the help of a human programmer, offering tremendous opportunities for justice, medicine and - more everyday - Netflix recommendations. In Learning and Development, it's often cited as the hot new tech. But is our industry ready to embrace such technology? Do we need it? And are we truly making the most of the existing technology we already have? Appitierre co-founder Wes Atkinson returns to discuss with Justin and Owen.

Machine learning means that computers can teach themselves without the help of a human programmer, offering tremendous opportunities for justice, medicine and - more everyday - Netflix recommendations. In Learning and Development, it's often cited as the hot new tech. But is our industry ready to embrace such technology? Do we need it? And are we truly making the most of the existing technology we already have? Appitierre co-founder Wes Atkinson returns to discuss with Justin and Owen.

83 — You shouldn't go near machine learning

At GoodPractice, we're big fans of research-based decision-making. So today on the show, we're speaking to Laura Overton from Towards Maturity. Towards Maturity's annual benchmark gives you an opportunity to reflect on your department's achievements, then compares your performance with every other participating organisation. By doing so, you can come up with a plan for where to go next and learn what works for top performers. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find Laura on Twitter @LauraOverton, Peter @PeterCasebow, and Ross @RossGarnerGP. You can also tweet @GoodPractice or @GoodpracticeAus. If you'd like to find out more about our upcoming events, blogs and whitepapers, visit goodpractice.com. You can take part in the Towards Maturity Benchmark by visiting: towardsmaturity.org/benchmark. The academic paper Ross referenced, on the impact of visualised performance data on learner motivation, was: Gašević, D., Dawson, S., Siemens, G. 2015. Let’s not forget: Learning analytics are about learning. TechTrends, vol 59, no. 1, pp. 64.

176 — It's a Wonderful Lifelong Learning

Structured courses are great for learning new skills, but they also tend to be expensive, time-consuming and focused on teaching content that most workers don't need. So why are they our 'go-to' solution for every L&amp;D challenge? This week on The GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen discuss alternatives to 'the course' with Qunnivation's Clark Quinn.

4 — Inside the Heads of UK Managers

In Learning &amp; Development, we love shiny objects: VR, AR, microlearning - surely one of these tools will turn out to be the key to unlocking higher performance? In this episode of The GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by Axonify's JD Dillon to discuss. We explore the attraction of the 'silver bullet', the conditions that have created this mindset, and vendors' responsibility to have more nuanced conversations with prospective clients. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson and @JD_Dillon.

In Learning &amp; Development, we love shiny objects: VR, AR, microlearning - surely one of these tools will turn out to be the key to unlocking higher performance? In this episode of The GoodPractice Podcast, Ross G and Owen are joined by Axonify's JD Dillon to discuss. We explore the attraction of the 'silver bullet', the conditions that have created this mindset, and vendors' responsibility to have more nuanced conversations with prospective clients.
