| Social media for trainers: Extending learning, building community |
| It’s no secret that most workplace learning occurs socially and informally, in the spaces between scheduled training events. New social media tools offer great opportunities for workers to connect, engage, and share knowledge. This is creating a widening gap between workplace learning and workplace training -- with training professionals often absent from conversations and decisions. Dr. Jane Bozarth, author of Social Media for Trainers (John Wiley & Sons/Pfeiffer, 2010) offers an overview of social learning, a tour of social media tools, and real-world ideas to help training professionals refine existing skills, develop new ones, and remain vital and viable in this new world. |
| Learning Points |
--Develop a better understanding of informal social learning and the many forms it can take
--State a rationale and strategy for engaging with social media
--Identify activities to develop skill in using social media to support workplace learning | |

Day 1 Wednesday 9 June - 16:15 - 17:00 |
| Presenter -- Dr Helena Popovic |
| The X Factor for Xcellence |
| The X Factor refers to the undefinable “something” that makes for star quality. Technical mastery of training skills is not enough to stand out and be truly memorable. Everyone in these highly competitive times is good. The X factor is about being Xtraordinary. The latest research in neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to change itself in response to what we experience) now allows us to define the previously undefinable and to understand what it takes to achieve Xcellence – in training, in performance and in health. We are far more than passive victims of our genes: we play an active role in how our brain develops throughout our entire life. By applying the X Factors, we all become uniquely Xtraordinary. Aristotle said “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.” This dynamic presentation delivers the key habits of mind and body which allow us to Xperience Xcellence on a daily basis. |
| Learning Points |
-- Discover the essential X Factors and immediately implement them into your training.
-- Understand why Xcitement is the most powerful brain food – much more powerful than omega-3s and anti-oxidants
-- Increase your capacity to uplift and inspire
-- Learn how to tap into brain potential you never knew you had. | |
