In conferences, there’s definitely a sense of comradery: you’re an instructional designer? It seems that people generally don’t like being talked at ; they like being part of a conversation. Let’s talk shop. Talk shop we did. I presented my session twice. The eLearning Guild gave me a speaker for being a speaker (very punny.).

My inspiration for the instructional design was learning that there was a game show in the 1980s called “ The Body Language Game.” Once identified, they were able to have peer conversations identifying what was causing stress.
