@MagpiePants @Decoy_AU I mean you can have a “religious cult” but you can also have cults based on various other traits

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A4) potentially derailment of the learning objectives, this is where good facilitation effectively steers the conversation where it needs to go. #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A3) disruptive behaviour, poor learning design, death by PowerPoint, reading from the slides… #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A2) the session can be disrupted if that learner has an agenda they are trying to put forward. It can affect morale in the room #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A1) disengaged, stand offish, complaining, argumentative. And yes when I felt I was forced into training on a topic I was familiar with (forced training) - I went and learnt more about others perspectives than the topic and that was valuable #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A4) disagree. Being rapid means nothing if you’re dead 💀 #lrnchat safety and accuracy are paramount in dangerous situations

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A1) perhaps we fall back to simplicity for ease of solution implementation 🤷‍♀️

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A6) Representation - haven't seen someone you can relate to doing it before. Failure bias - failed on the first attempt so not willing to try again. #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A5) seek out differing points of view. Do your own (valid) research. Question our understanding. Listen more #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A4) Asking questions. Sharing other views in a non-confrontational way. Sharing our own experience with bias. #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A3) listening to the views of others in an effort to understand rather than respond. Reflection. Seeking out opinions that differ from our own. #lrnchat

@lrnchat This week I learnt about funding support for upskilling older workers https://t.co/SsrgnSkrow

@stellal My favourite headset is Logitech Zone headset. There is a wired and wireless option. The sound quality is great, the microphone has great noise filtering capability to cut out background noise. Can be a bit $$ but IMHO definitely worth it if you use it a lot

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A2) in the past when making a shift to a healthier lifestyle I found getting the “hard things” out of the way early gave me that sense of achievement and helped keep me motivated to continue. #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A1) good question. I have fallen into bad habits. Might take this as a cue to work on that! 😂 #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat Q0) I attended #aitd2022 this week, so many great takeaways to reflect on. The one that has me thinking most is consideration of passion vs purpose in our careers. Courtesy of @dpontefract - thanks for a great keynote

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

All set up for #AITD2022 looking for a great 2 days of learning and yearning from some fantastic speakers!
Who else is going?

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A7) it’s got to be height. It always comes up. “You’re taller than I thought” or “you looked taller on camera” 😂 #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A5) culture and vision - you can share a vision but fitting into the culture can be a different story #lrnchat

[Amy Martin @martinaimz]

@lrnchat A3) that training isn’t a solution for all business problems #lrnchat
