Breaking his heart? Has he tried not being such a supporter of hate, division, and ignorance?

Welp, he pulled the trigger on a trade war with Canada, Mexico, and China. FFS....nobody wins in a trade war.

Leadership is knowing when to de-escalate the commitment to a failing strategy.

🔥 Canada to the rescue! Amphibious “Super Scooper” planes are pulling seawater from Santa Monica Bay to battle the raging Palisades Fire. Witness the incredible international effort in action. #PalisadesFire #WildfireResponse

#Podcast episode alert!! I sat down recently with Patrick Healy to talk about learning, innovation, creativity, and a few other things. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/pjh...

@inge-ignatia.bsky.social lovely to see you here on BlueSky! I missed your contributions on Twitter. :)

Academic study revealed significant negative correlation between frequent AI tool usage & critical thinking abilities, mediated by increased cognitive offloading. Younger participants exhibited higher AI dependence & lower critical thinking scores compared to older. we need new learning strategies.

Fellow L&D freelancers, mark your calendars! h/t @kimellis.bsky.social @ldfreespirits.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/posts/ld-fre...

RIP #JimmyCarter. A man whose stature grew in the decades after he left office. Truly a decent and giving human being....a role model for everyone.

In case anyone needed a reminder, Kevin O'Leary is an ass.

After his successful consolidation of power, the Leader prepares for show trials of those who resisted his first failed putsch.

So, what's his name thinks that 🇨🇦 would make for a good 51st state? How about "No"?!

L&D people - are you ready for the Beige Wave? www.linkedin.com/posts/donald...

This article is so eminently quotable that its worth reading the whole thing. The results will not surprise you. #ReturnToOffice #WorkplaceResearch www.utimes.pitt.edu/news/study-r...

Well, it didn't take long for the impersonators to show up. Not me, but one of my connections here. Be vigilant, BlueSky-ers. You'd think they would have run out of crypto/blockchain/catfish scams by now....

I'm excited to be part of the @ldfreespirits.bsky.social January lineup! I'll be hosting a talk about the incredible power of saying, "No". Join me on January 29, 2025, at 8AM EST. #LearningAndDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment #Freelancers ldfreespirits.com/product/the-...

This looks to be a rich and informative read. h/t @arasbozkurt.bsky.social Nice to see some familiar names among the many authors.

As I get ramped up for my Thursday morning talk about #innovation in L&D, I invite you to read my latest offering on the ATD blog where I talk about one of my favourite #SystemsThinking activities. www.td.org/content/atd-...

@lizcable.bsky.social thanks for following! I'm a n00b game designer so I look forward to learning from you :)

I have to say I'm pretty stoked about speaking at #ATDCore4 next week! I'll be live as of 11:45 AM EST on Thurs, Dec 5. #VirtualConference #LearningAndDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment

@dani-johnson.bsky.social thanks for following! I think I'm having a small fanboy moment, here. I appreciate all the work you do!

Thanks to a suggestion from @zsoltolah.bsky.social, I amended the L&D Starter Pack and made it a bit more inclusive for the broader sector. (see pinned post for the link)

Taking a moment to exercise care or empathy can make all the difference to someone today. #MentalHealthMatters

A little #CanadianHumour for a Monday

What should I christen this latest arrival with? IYKYK #fella #nafo

Ok. @skircle.bsky.social is pretty cool...

Happy Monday, Blue-Sky-ers! Hope you all have a great week ahead. I'm so pleased with the great responses to my ever-growing #LnD Starter Pack! And no matter how bleak things may seem, there's still love in the world. May it find you today.

A powerful take and critical viewpoint on #GenAI. Even if you're someone who loves it, Andrew's insights are well worth reading...because it's not a panacea, no matter how much we'd like it to be. My next question is: How might we flip the Outcome/Process ratio so the latter leads the former?

What an amazing first week on BlueSky! It's been wonderful to reconnect with old friends and to make some new ones along the way! If you think there's someone else who should be in my #LnD StarterPack, let me know. #LearningAndDevelopment #InstructionalDesign #LearningCommunity

@kkintegral.bsky.social hi friend!! Glad to see you here

These are awesome #SantaFellas!! 💙💛

Our miracle? Doing the hard work required in Step 0, and building the right framework for Step 3 to enable Step 4

I made a list. I made a pack. I may have missed you. Still not sure of the difference but… if you are interested in #FutureOfWork here is a starter pack. Please feel free to suggest changes! go.bsky.app/DD7KR1k
