Using Your Business Levers (ATD Blog Post)

So much of the talk around L&D focuses on things that the an indivdual practitioner just doesn't control: C-Suite strategy, change initiatives, budget, staffing, etc. But we do have areas where we can exert a lot of influence. Use your levers!

Mapping Discussion Flow Tool

 Explainer: "Mapping Discussion Flow".

Great feedback for new (and experienced) presenters, trainers, and facilitators.

This provides an interesting snapshot of a segment of a learning experience and opens the door for conversation about developing facilitation skills. Participants in my train-the-trainer classes loved this; it's easy to learn to do and they often volunteered to map each other in the leadup to their final teachbacks.

Also: A fabulous artifact for showing & sharing your work. #syw

Political navigation
Reading the room
Coaching
Diagnosing root causes
