Taking the Train to Learning :)
Yes, Learning TRENDS readers, I am about to get on the Amtrak overnight train on Tuesday morning in New York City for the trip to Learning 2011 in Orlando.
This is a yearly ritual. First, it is sort of funny to take the train to Learning, but, it really does work for me. I get a chance to look out the window, reflect on the field, prepare for 2,000 colleagues at Learning 2011 and enjoy a change of scenery. By time I arrive on Wednesday morning at 10:00 am, I feel as though I’m refreshed and in a new mode.
Design, teaching and facilitating is in large part mental: we have to get our heads in the right place and nurture a sense of readiness. The train does that for me.
I get a small bedroom, facing the backyard of America as I rock and roll down to Florida. There is a diverse mixture of folks on board and I can even stay connected on bandwidth from either Amtrak or my iPad.
