Success Is No Accident

Eat That Frog Book Review

The moment they complete a course, each learner faces a crucial point of divergence. They will follow one of two tracks–learning or forgetting. The success or failure of your learning design depends on what happens in the minutes, days, and weeks after the learning experience is completed.
In this interactive session you’ll learn:

Why learning (and forgetting) actually begins the minute your course ends.
How the spacing effect can keep your audience on the learning curve and off the forgetting curve.
The five biggest mistakes that propel learners down the forgetting curve.
How the 80/20 rule affects instruction design.
The power of a Just Noticeable Difference (JND) to change behavior.
How to avoid learner burnout by understanding the Law of Diminishing Returns.

ATD DEMO DAY: Upgrade Your LMS

Learn how to use support coaching to improve training outcomes, even if you're on a tight budget.
The unfortunate truth is that many training and development programs don’t stick. Even if the classroom instruction is outstanding, what’s taught often doesn’t translate to improved performance on the job. For people to turn what they’ve learned into positive work habits, the brain has to rewire itself for the new skill. That means applying it repeatedly on the job.
Because of the pace and stress of a typical workplace, however, it’s hard to get this kind of reinforcement without support. Employees need tips, reminders, encouragement, feedback, and accountability—in other words, they need coaching to stay on track. Unfortunately, it’s not economically feasible for organizations to hire a coach for every person who participates in a learning program.
In this webcast, you will learn how to develop a cost-effective program to transform employees in your organization into support coaches. By offering encouragement, feedback, and accountability, your support coaches will help participants stay on track and apply what they have learned.
Attendees will get complimentary access to nine videos and an e-book on support coaching to share with others in their organization.
