Sucks!
Stop being a Trainer
Challenge information or content presented to you by subject matter experts. This does not mean saying “no”, it means moving from bobble head to business consultant.

Unless you’re an Obi-Wan Bobble head, then you’d be cool!
Kaizen!
The philosophy of Kaizen is mostly used in TQM (Total Quality Management). But isn’t that what we are trying to do? Improve our
performance? In short, Kaizen is the philosophical belief that everything and
anything can be improved, and anyone can find ways to improve it.

Learning presented in bite-sized pieces; presented when the learner wants it,
when the organization needs the learner to have it, will do more to move a
business strategy forward than any poorly conceived “workshop” attended by a
group of hostages.

Beware of Snake-Oil
LearningRebels.com
Learning Rebels do not allow themselves to be boxed in, or governed by: theories, styles,
methods, techniques or processes.
Only when used wisely, in a flexible setting, with the mindset of situational learning – will you
have freed your mind.
Beware of Snake-Oil
LearningRebels.com
Traditional theories, styles, methods, techniques and processes should not be
treated as rules, at best they are guidelines.
Remember ~ Situational Learning!
