Two Years of Tech Talks (Part 1)
For years I've been navigating the stormy and ever-changing seas of learning technology. When many steered their ships back to the docks, I found myself pulling up anchor and heading out into the choppy water. Over time I realized that the conflict in behavior wasn't only because I had a personal affinity for tech but because many didn't feel comfortable or confident in their knowledge or skill in navigating the stormy seas. As a result, I decided to do something about it and demystify the learning and technology landscape for anyone who would listen. With the help of Christopher Rainey and the HR Leaders team, I streamed the first Learning Tech Talks two years ago today. A few months later, I started the Learning Sharks community to continue the conversation and foster an inclusive environment where the discussion around all things learning and learning tech is ongoing. Two years, 116 episodes, an active, online community later, the adventure continues. I have learned a great deal more than I ever imagined while simultaneously recognizing my knowledge quest is just beginning. Join me on Friday as I spend an hour sharing some of my most significant observations and highlight, amidst the noise, the things I feel every learning professional should consider in a special 2-year anniversary episode.
