T is for Training 214 : Why I Love Drinking From a Firehose

On the call were Jodie Borgerding, Jill Hurst-Wahl, Paul Signorelli, and Maurice Coleman. How do we set reasonable expectations for our participants, who are our co-conspirators in learning?  We dove into talking about having too much or too little content, and some very interesting (and related) wanderings.  This episode is a lively listen!

Quotes:

Sometimes you need to let ideas breathe.

There’s a lot of upfront work that has to be done to make things simple for your learners.

Praise in public.  Criticize in private.
