In 1982 the Mary Rose emerged from the Solent to see daylight for the first time in 437 years. I remember this not because of the significance of the event, but because my mum allowed me to stay home from school and watch it on the TV! I also remember gasping as the...
In training design, the 'flow' of the session is paramount. It’s like a well edited movie, you shouldn’t notice the edits, just the great story line. But, sometimes interjecting something unexpected can rouse us from our comfortable state and make us sit up and pay attention. This is often referred to as a ...
Today I've been thinking about ‘the logical way of doing things’ versus ‘the reality’. This has been inspired by autumn, and about the leaves on the trees. As a kid I remember being told ...
Wading through the detritus of garage items, I spotted two bags I recognised, my old training kits. Rummaging through the unsticky post-it notes and hardened blu-tac slabs, I found several training props, including...
The live on-line Q&A session was starting in 5 mins, and I was frantically making up questions just in-case no one asked any! Self-doubt is not something I’m used to feeling, especially having spent many years successfully running face-to-face training sessions! But here I was, about to hit ‘unmute’ on day one of our 5-day challenge, wishing...
There are two things I’ve learnt to distrust;
Both promise rewards;
During a recent trip to Legoland, I found a company timeline. This reminded me of how I'd used company history in 2 of my previous L&D roles, and also why...
Recently I noticed an Apple Map van surveying the neighbourhood for their improved Apple Mapping service. The first thing that crossed my mind…
At a recent event we spoke about our 'inner book'. The one we've yet to write. We also spoke about what the safe and crazy title would be. ..
We have more dinosaurs in our house than possibly lived in the entire Jurassic period!! While I love my Son’s creativity after buying them, I know what’s coming next...
Dog Vs Camouflage Stick & New Sofas. (...and how all this relates to Training and Development!!)9/6/2018
We recently bought new sofas. Brand spanking new bouncy sofas.... two of them to be exact. We took ownership of these beauties on Saturday and by Tuesday...
At college, I took a job questionnaire; 100 statements to pinpoint my future career. The results…
As my son staggered out of school, arms laden with book-bag, paintings, certificate, PE kit, water bottle and coat, I found myself shouting...
I recently bought a green-screen for some upcoming webinars. With a week to go, I set up the screen to have a practice run, only to find myself with a less than flattering green halo! Some research later revealed my lighting was probably to blame.
Over the following evenings my practice set-ups became more elaborate... As we piled into the assembly hall & sat on the tiny chairs, meant for much smaller bottoms than mine, I listened as the Year 1 Teachers gave an overview of how Maths was being taught to our children, and possibly more importantly how we could help support this back at home.
I’m pretty sure the terms: ‘number bonds’, ‘reverse subtractions’ & ‘number sentences’ weren’t around when I was a child, but... |
