For the last Story-based #Virtual Training Workshop, Ray Handley, an incredibly talented and creative ID (who often kept us in stitches), shared a story with us that was produced using the diorama you see pictured below. He filmed the story with his phone…lnkd.in/gVQM4G3C

#ATDCORE4 is one of my favorite conferences to speak at and attend. I enjoy going to the sessions of my peers, having long conversations with other learning professionals and, of course, sharing #stories. If you are attending Core4 in DC this month, pleas…lnkd.in/gjzFSHuk

#Presenting can be challenging. Perhaps the name itself--presenting--puts our brains in a box when it comes time to share an important message. Think about it: the word "presenting" is, by definition, quite one-sided. "I'll stand here on this stage talkin…lnkd.in/gwHrnX3M

I went full-time self-employed two years ago this month. Many thanks to all of the leaders, sales teams and learning professionals who have embraced #Story Design for #communications and #training these past two years. You've given me encouragement that t…lnkd.in/gmvVemuN

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

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

Many thanks to those who commented on my last post, pointing out the possible barriers to #humanizing a learning experience in the room pictured below. I look forward to #ATD's international conference every year and 2023 was no ex…lnkd.in/gmmFKKU4 lnkd.in/gmRfcZs5

Just had to share this success story of one of our participants of the Instructional #Story Design workshop. @LearningTeresa created this Rise learning experience using Story Design for its structure. I encourage you to view it in…lnkd.in/gXgh9cah lnkd.in/gv6tPcbH

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

So great to connect with @Ryan_Austin3 of Cognota and @fsanchezarias 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

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

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

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
