2. Tastes of Training - Marketing Ideas
3. Learning Quotation
1. Muscle Memory - Performance and Foul Shots: One of the most
interesting speakers that I have ever seen is Dave Hopple. He is a coach
for NBA and College Basketball Players who need to improve their foul line
shooting. I'm bringing Dave to TechLearn to talk about Muscle Memory -
Why Can't Basketball Players Make EVERY Foul Shot. Dave will demonstrate
with his own shooting and by coaching a random participant (with no
basketball experience) that you can train your muscles to make that shot
from the foul line to the basket. Why don't well paid NBA players
practice this until it is a no-brainer? His keynote will trigger some
very intriguing connections to how we approach core skill training in our
organizations. Info on TechLearn 2002 can be found at www.techlearn.com
2. Tastes of Training - Marketing Ideas: Here is an internal marketing
idea for Training offerings. It is based on the Tastes of Dallas event,
where restaurants offer a small taste of their food to the public. You
can try food from dozens of restaurants in a single afternoon. Change the
idea into Tastes of Training. Vendors and internal trainers gather for an
afternoon of small snipets of the types of training that is available to
the workforce. Managers can "taste" a quick 15 minute sample of a class
and can pick up information on the offerings. It is a cool way to market
the value and diversity of your learning offerings. The trick is to make
the trainers actually teach a small module rather than talk about it. Try
it!
3. Learning Quotation: It is important that students bring a certain
ragamuffin, barefoot, irreverence to their studies; they are not here to
worship what is known, but to question it.
