Library Podcast – T is for Training

Host notes from T is for Training 329

These are the notes I took while hosting T is for Training 329 “This Sucks, Start Over.” Read Jill’s Organized and otherwise awesome recap.

Live notes help me both remember excellent quotes and select a name title, since the title of the show is always something said in the podcast. [I did this before Lucifer, btw.]

Our guest was fanTASTIc Glenn Seki, Ed. D. Author of the book How to Become the Best at Anything did not disappoint. Stories, idioms and a book thrown in for good measure.

I didn’t want the world to remember him like that. [Glenn was the LMU photographer when Hank Gathers died on the court]

K Anders Ericsson, the Expert at Expertise.

[I would make a bad photojournalist] because I want to save the kid on fire.

Companies should retrain injured employees for free.

I learned to compensate.

Make sure you have a plan B.

Planning and Pre-focusing. Anticipation matters in photography

You can only use one good eye for photography.

Have an editor who can tell you “This Sucks, Start Over.”

Glenn practiced action photography by following seagulls.

Drive to get better. Takes deliberate practice with goals.

Observe habits.

You don’t have to be born the best; you have to work at it.

Persistence is the key.

It depends on where you attribute failure.

“Practicing Knowledge”

Teach me how to tell someone to f-off and they say thank you.

Education and Expertise don’t go hand in hand.

Be your own coach.

Tom quoted the book “Deschooling Society” by Ivan Illitch.

I just needed help cracking my chest.

You’re about to experience some discomfort.

T is for Training 328 – You Don’t Want Your Grandmother to Clean That Up…

T is for Training 328 -(recording) You Don’t Want Your Grandmother to Clean That Up (this was a fantastic episode)

The show was recorded on January 26^th 2023. Due to my computer completely freaking the * out, we recorded it in Zoom. Thanks, Paul!

Next Episode is on February 9th at 9 pm eastern.

[and thanks Jill who is the usual editor and makes a hard job look incredibly easy.]

The panelists were Paul Signorelli, Tom Haymes, Buffy Hamilton, and Maurice Coleman.

Here’s a link to an article that gives us a framework for the conversation:

https://howtobecomethebest.com/build-knowledge/

The gist of the framework is the idea that

“Learning can be divided into four basic parts: concepts (definitions and examples), processes (how it works sequences), principles (cause and effect relationships), and productions (procedures/classification).”

That’s from Glenn Seki’s short self-published book, How to Become the Best at Anything (a 68-page essay with additional resources included).

The ball rolled from there to hit:

See think wonder.

Teach the big concept –

SOAPSTone text analysis – We need to teach people how to use this (or a variation) on every social media platform.

Some students come with a critical thinking framework, some you have to install the framework before you can ensure they will learn something they can use in real life.

Ethos, Pathos, Logos.

AI is transforming education.

Education shouldn’t be a black box.

T is for Training 323 – This Needs Salt!

On the call were Maurice Coleman, Paul Signorelli, Sardek Love, and the newest friend of the show Anne Bruce. We talked about their new book from McGraw Hill Business Essentials Publications – Presentation Essentials.

Anne and Sardek {with Paul and Maurice occasionally contributing} talked about the wisdom, tools, and best practices of presentations, the difference between presenting, training, and lecturing, and how both new and seasoned speakers can hone their craft.

A fascinating conversation featuring stories and insight from these two wonderful speakers.

Give a listen.

And buy the damn book.

It’s a TARDIS. It’s bigger on the inside.

The podcast had to work around the occasional minefield of technology aka Talkshoe. We recorded in Zoom (THANKS PAUL!)

A note from the host…

4748 days ago, the first T is for Training happened. I had an idea to start a podcast for library trainers, since we were usually the lone wolves in our places of work.

It was a pilot show with three friends, Beth, Bobbi and Jennifer, and we talked about 23 Things and learning while playing (remember that?), Active Shooter Training (unfortunately still needed) and a Trainer Bi*ch Session (also still needed.) With show links on Delicio.us *RIP*

Also, the very cool Trainer’s Alphabet was discussed on FriendFeed (RIP) Here is a link to the two August 2008 posts about the pilot show and the Trainer’s Alphabet. August 2008 T is for Training Posts

Unfortunately, those older shows, along with the first 150 episodes or so, are lost in the ether.

If you happen to have any copies of our older shows, drop us a line!

This show as survived MANY changes.

Life changes.

Job Changes.

Support Changes.

But we still try to do something useful every two weeks (most of the time.)

The real first show took place on September 12th, 2008. But the show on August 29th is the first place T is for Training happened.

It has been a long and fun thirteen years and counting.

Thank all (five) of you for listening, and I hope you all continue to support us with your kind words and thoughts.

Also JOIN US on a Thursday night. You know you want to…
