 A
tidbit to keep us learning & growing
By:
Jim Smith, JR of Jimpact
From his book Crash and Learn: 600+ Road-Tested Tips to Keep Audiences Fired
Up and Engaged!
“Ask
application questions. Here’s
an example:'How are you going to apply what you’ve learned
today back at work?'.”

| When
Training is Not Enough |
Training is not the only answer
By: Dan Johnson
It's true -- workplace
learning alone is not enough to address 80% of all workplace
performance gaps. Unless we shift our focus
from learning to performance, our jobs – and the organizations
we work for – are in jeopardy.
Join us at the August 26 CIASTD University session on Human
Performance Improvement (HPI). During this interactive session,
we will answer the following questions:
1. What is the Human Performance Improvement model as defined
by ASTD?
2. What tools can I use to identify performance gaps that are
best addressed by training (learning) and performance gaps are
best addressed by other strategies?
3. What is the difference between a business analysis and performance
analysis?
4. How do I influence my clients (whether internal or external)
to think strategically and invest their dollars in strategies
that will produce measurable and sustainable results?
5. * Special Bonus * What can be done to ensure sustained improvement
of worker performance?
This
session can be taken as a stand-alone session by anyone who
is interested.
The session will be held Thursday, August 26, from 4:00 - 7:00
p.m. at
the Fishers Library. For more information,
contact Dan Johnson at (317) 822-8530 or e-mail dan@performancemastery.com.

By: Andrea Moore
"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one."—Mother
Teresa
As a workplace learning professional, your role exists to serve
the organization(s) you support. With an eye on service and doing
what you can to help, it’s easy to get caught up in trying
to save or fix something. Time and time again, I see HR and workplace
learning professionals putting undue pressure on themselves to
make change within their organizations.
While this comes from a very positive place, the challenge is there
is a tendency to get stuck due to feeling frustrated or overwhelmed
when you’re focusing on something that isn’t within
your sphere of influence. In order to be most effective in providing
service, put your energy and attention on what you can do. Ask
yourself the empowering question: What is it that I can influence?
There will always be an answer to that question. Andrea Moore is the President of CIASTD and a Senior Consulting
Manager at FlashPoint; contact Andrea at amoore@FlashPointHR.com.

Struggle Alone! |
It’s
time to pick the brains of your peers
By: Bill Mugavin
Thinking about applying for the CPLP but want to know more
about how it works? Or, are you already in the process and
want some insights on how to best to prepare?
The old saying is “experience is the best teacher",
but it doesn’t necessarily have to be your experience!
CIASTD University has put together a panel of Workplace
and Learning Professionals who have earned the CPLP designation
and who are anxious to share their experience and insights
with you. Panel members will share the glorious and grueling
details of the CPLP certification process including:
• Credential
benefits they have personally realized. Yes! It is
absolutely worth it.
• Identify the benefits of CPLP credentials
• Review the ASTD Competency model
• Analyze the focus and weightings of the knowledge-based exam
and the work product
• Determine study strategies and test-taking tips
• Discuss the CPLP certification process
Remember,
the CIASTD University is about more than just CPLP preparation.
The program offers a broad range of
industry
knowledge for anyone who wants to develop as a Workplace
Learning and Performance Professional. We have made
it easier for you to learn and grow by building in session
and pricing
options that work for your schedule and individual
goals. You can now enroll for just one or two sessions!
• Single Session: Members - $75, Non-members - $95
• Two Sessions: Members - $125, Non-members - $150
Get
started on or continue your professional journey by joining
us on August 18th from 4pm-7pm at the Fishers
Public
Library for the CPLP
Prep Session. We look forward
to sharing our experience and helping you take
a step ahead.
