As a trainer, one of the most exciting parts of working on a book is developing instructional materials based on the content and leading workshops to help put the ideas into practice. Over the past six months, I have been developing and piloting workshops on self-care and we-care as part of the leadership development training I do.

Yesterday, I facilitated the first webinar in a series hosted by the Knight Foundation on taking the practice of Giving Days to the next level.

Here are some reflections on the instructional design: 1. These leaders are then given the meeting agenda (game instructions), keep the group on track, and volunteer to report out. It is important to vary your instructional delivery because the human brain -on average - can only concentrate for 12 minutes.

I used to teach gadget workshops for kids in museums. I planted in their brains the possibility that this might not be easy, might not be hygienic, that they might lose. Designing good failure modes that are funny, instructive, fair, and supportive, can increase visitor interest and engagement with interactives. * you lose ?

When applicants make it to the final round of the interviewing process, give them a topic in their area of expertise and ask them to write three short paragraphs about it. They may have grown up in a grade school that didn’t emphasize writ­ing, or perhaps they were simply left-brained, science and math types. How’s the grammar?

Reflection gives you a chance to understand what worked and what didn't. I do this with every social media activity as well as whenever I teach. But how to shift from the frenetic pace of getting things done to giving yourself time to think. That was the reason for the eating chocolate exercise I did in PoST class on Monday.
