📘 Whether you’re stepping into a management role in L&D or need a project management method to keep your learning initiatives on track, Agile for Instructional Designers by Megan Torrance is a must-read. This book offers a fresh perspective on Learning Project Management, challenging traditional models and introducing Agile approaches that truly deliver. While many consider models like ADDIE outdated, practical strategies for effectively managing learning initiatives are rarely shared. That’s where this book shines—especially if you're looking to improve in areas like: 📝 Running meetings that get real results 🎯 Aligning learning solutions with business goals 👥 Clearly defining your learner personas 🛠️ Using Cathy Moore’s Action Mapping in Agile Scope Definition 🤝 Running retrospectives that boost collaboration and communication It’s been a game-changer for me, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to rethink how they “save time”, “achieve goals”, and “keep communication flowing”

As many teachers do, I had a healthy dose of identity confusion when I left my classroom: "Am I really not a teacher anymore?" Well, I'm not a teacher in a traditional sense, and the past few years have clarified that for me. My "subjects" are less singular (e.g., organizational development, DEI). My "classroom" is now made up of workplaces across various industries. My "students" are a bit older, but with their own inner children. My "curriculum" remains people-centered and action-oriented. And all things considered, "I" am still a "teacher." My consulting practice has evolved into "Elynndí" to better capture this fact: that our identities as teachers depend less on 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 we operate, and more on 𝘩𝘰𝘸. After all, a teacher's skill set has been crucially central to what makes my approach to this work unique—work I am excited to continue doing. :) #Teaching #Pedagogy #LearningAndDevelopment #WhoAmI #DudeDontStressAboutIt #OhOkayThanks

Unlock the potential of your workforce by ditching outdated training methods! Too often, manufacturers rely on tribal knowledge to onboard new team members. But here's the catch: while it might seem like a quick fix, this approach can actually harm your product quality. Say goodbye to unstructured training and undocumented procedures, and embrace a smarter, more efficient way to train that ensures top-notch quality every time.
