Like many professionals, my January has been filled with making those special resolutions, but not of the sort that (often) involve diet and exercise. Goal-setting in our professional lives seems to resonate more deeply than dusting off the treadmill.

The folks at Chat2Lrn held a Twitter chat about New Year’s resolutions for L&D earlier this month and the comments were very interesting. As you might expect, any of the resolutions involved learning new technologies and skills, but another standout resolution was sharing more knowledge. You can view the curated Tweets here.

Meanwhile on the Yammer ISD Network, there are resolutions to write more, become stronger all-around ISD professionals, and interact more effectively with clients. One member is even working on a project to help veterans returning to the job market.

It’s easy, and definitely good, to think of what we want for ourselves each time a new year turns. But what kinds of knowledge and opportunities can you share with your networks, colleagues, and communities outside L&D to make everyone a little better at what they do in 2014? I hope you’ll think about it and comment over on the blog.
