#learnchat Wrap) I've got so many skills-related things coming! Besides consulting with orgs that needs skills help, I've got workshops coming and my book you can already pre-order! www.amazon.com/Building-Ski...

I keep typing #lrnchat instead of #learnchat (old habits die hard)

#learnchat A7) Skills-based learning strategies stay relevant if they are 1. effective for building the skills targeted, and 2. relevant to the work to be done. Making sure you're actually building skills, and the skills are needed, is how to stay relevant

#learnchat A6) but truly, organizations need to focus on building better insights into skills and being transparent with assessments and data with employees. Any org that doesn't do that will create confusion and distrust. Skills is really a culture shift.

#learnchat A6) My next book is going to be on building expertise in the age of AI - it's really NOT about every skill you have, but what you're particularly good at. As work changes with AI, this is going to be even more important. (Yes, I know, my skills book hasn't even come out yet...)

#learnchat A6) I have so many thoughts on this...but the most important thing orgs can do, no matter how they collect data on skills, is BE TRANSPARENT. No one wants some arbitrary assessment of their skills, or for assessments to be made without their input.

#learnchat A5) To make personalization really work, everything needs to be relevant - context, skills needed, proficiency level, assessment of progress. Plus! The more personalized something is, the less generalized data we get as L&D folks to learn from...

#learnchat A5) ahhh, personalized learning paths - to really work, you need to know where you're starting from, and what good looks like at the end. AI is making it easier to contextualize learning to make it more personalized, but hyperpersonalization means having baseline data

#learnchat A4) Written and verbal communication are often looked at outside of work contexts, but as a leader, someone who can clearly articulate a problem, potential solutions, their recommendation and impact is priceless. Getting specific with tasks and success metrics is key

#learnchat A4) Figuring out the human skills that are most important for your organizational culture is a good first step. Every org values different things, and being clear about what's important in your org helps everyone

#learnchat A3) there's also a difference between technical/job skills and human skills - lots of jobs focus on the technical skills required for the job, but it's often the human skills that differentiate folks who are successful from those who struggle

#learnchat A3) Ha! Almost every job I've ever had, my skills were more important than my job description! I think most orgs struggle to make job descriptions accurate/relevant over time.

#learnchat A2) The real question is what assessments/input would you (or me or anyone) trust to be an accurate picture of your skills. This is something that becomes really important in skills...what data do you trust?

#learnchat A2) Measuring/assessing skills is definitely not something most people or orgs are good at! Asking for feedback and taking advantage of opportunities for assessment are things I focus on myself.

#learnchat A1) Honestly, most corporate training/learning SHOULD be skills-based; you should definitely know what skills you are helping people build to improve, not just what you want them to know. Except maybe sexual harassment training...

Pro tip!

#learnchat Q1. A skills-based approach to learning for me is thinking about how what you are learning directly applies to work/tasks to be done. If a skill is "a thing can do" then skills-based learning is focused on how to do a work thing or task.

Q0) Koreen Pagano from Carpinteria, CA, I consult with organizations on product and skills-related things. I have a book coming out this year on building Skills-Based Organizations. Unfortunately I learned a lot about pneumonia this week :( #learnchat

Join us tomorrow!

Thank you to the Resistance for showing up and out yesterday. Not only are we on the right side of history, but also our sign game is unmatched. 👩‍🍳😘🤌 #handsoff

So excited to be part of this conversation next week!

When I’m on vacation outside of the US and I meet other Americans, I can immediately tell if they’re from the Midwest.

First vacation in two years and so this is mainly going to be it for the next 5 days, if you were wondering.

Who’s going to tell him about the Great Lakes acronym? #HOMES www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Proof that once again, we learned nothing from Jurassic Park 🤷‍♀️ apple.news/AgF-ShJ8oSwi...

Feels like I’m watching the dawn of Nazi America rn.

There has never been a larger victory in any competition than Kendrick’s over Drake

I don’t think they know what #PersonalJesus is about. 😳

Y’all. Me watching the #SuperBowl commercials and seeing my EXACT VELOUR TRACK SUIT on one of the ladies in the #WeatherTech commercial 🤣

Ok that Seal commercial broke me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #superbowlcommercial #superbowl

We can’t just let one badass Bishop be the entire resistance, folks. How are we organizing this time?

Big “Cousin Greg” energy in the back. Real life #succession

Maybe we socially hold the Jan 6 traitors accountable by ensuring they are unemployable, undatable, etc. I’m ok with the court of public opinion when the actual courts are overruled.

Y’all we opened our cider tasting room this week and I am - what’s the word for excited/exhausted? But if you’re in the area, come visit! Also you can come hang on NYE!

I had a dream about a business idea for high end personal thrift shoppers and I SOOOO want someone to make that real.

Looking to connect with/follow women entrepreneurs, especially women over 50. Recommendations? #womenintech #entrepreneurs

Local government and activism let’s you do the things federal and state government doesn’t do. when things sound bleak on the national level, reach out to local nonprofits who support the causes you believe in. And if one doesn’t exist? You can always start one like we did: SBTAN.org #ActLocal

Could I care less about Hunter Biden? (No. The answer is no.)

Y’all I’m so thankful today I could burst. Haven’t even eaten yet.

Who wore it better? (Please see the Intro to my book, Immersive Learning, for my vote!)

A first post saying something clever and insightful that I can look back on one day with pride.
