#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...)

I think if you can develop a good mentorship program is one way for an employee get feedback and inspiration on where they want to develop further. I've seen it done once in a great case study where the mentorship program lasted for at least a year. #LearnChat
Q6: What are some ways organizations can help employees understand the skills they already have and those they may need to grow? #LearnChat

#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

I see them trying to use Personal Development Plans, and 360 assessments, and mapping competencies to org values. None of which I think do a good job of acually identifying and development transferable skills. Seem like "oh this tool will help us do it"
"no maybe this one" #LearnChat
Q4: How can L&D teams support the identification and development of transferable skills across departments? #LearnChat

Ahhhh. So just because you know how a hammer works doesn't mean you can actually hit a nail. #LearnChat
Q1) A skills-based approach means focusing on what people can 𝗱𝗼, not just what they 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄. It aligns learning with real work, drives performance, and supports continuous growth. It’s not about checking boxes—it’s about building capability that evolves with the job. #LearnChat
Q1: What does a "skills-based approach" to learning mean to you personally or professionally? #LearnChat

I wish I had thought of this years ago when I was actually collecting/developing lots of skills. I suppose at one point I had more of an online portfolio that I could reference and see a knowledge shift in. #LearnChat
Q2: How do you personally keep track of your own skills growth over time? #LearnChat

Make sure if you are using deck.blue and have a column set to filter for #LearnChat that you click the Gear/Settings in the upper right corner of the column. You can change the refresh rate to 15s - default is 5 min.

Just like when I pick up my phone to look at the weather for tomorrow and immediately search instead for "100 ways to make mash potatoes". #LearnChat
Q0) learned last week that Cursor AI tool is human-like. It ignored what I asked and it did something else. I asked it why, it said, "I went to do what you asked then ... I got distracted!" For real. #learnchat

That is all too true. Speaking of.... I learned this week that if my Storyline course is only sending 2 questions to the LMS chances are I FORGOT TO ENSURE ALL QUESTIONS were ticked off on the results slide. LOL #learnchat
Good evening. Jean Marrapodi, elearning architect from Boston MAish. I learned that repurposing something from a Storyline course doesn't always work like you expect it to and may have been easier to build from scratch than to troubleshoot the hiccups. #learnchat

Hello #LearnChat Hope you are well. Glad to be here tonight to learn from you all.

I use deck.blue. I find it extremely helpful for following the chat. It's similar to the Tweetdeck. Just make sure you are following #LearnChat or the official #LearnChat feed - buff.ly/3ZM2XJx
T-40 to #LearnChat! Looking forward to seeing everyone. Hint: You may find deck.blue helpful in managing the chat.

a6) Take some time to learn who your audience is and create characters that resonate with them directly. (job, roles, backgrounds, etc. #LearnChat

Focusing on intent. I have a story about getting laid off. Naturally, I was angry, but it led to much learning for me. So, what do I want the listener to feel - my anger or my joy? If it's joy, I need to edit the bad stuff and keep the good. Your intent is not to tell a story. It's to move them.

Q6) Find your critical 20% and build your story around that. What will people USE? #learnchat

A6) When it comes to using stories for L&D, don't start by creating a story; put your efforts in finding the right story. IYKYK #LearnChat

@hadiyanuriddin.bsky.social Question for you master storyteller. How do you know if the story is too much/too good that it takes from the learning? (my memory last year was very bad, but... I remember your story about the paperbag at our conf. but not what it was you taught us about it). #LearnChat
