1. Pecha Kucha: 20 Slides, 20 Seconds, Sit Down! Can a learning colleague tell a rich story in 20 slides, each auto-advancing every 20 seconds? That’s called Pecha Kucha and one of the fun formats we will use at Learning 2013!
I experimented with Pecha Kucha at Learning 2007 and have used it every few years as an alternative format. These can be focused on a professional effort or share a learning story from our personal lives. It is amazing how participants can share a powerful and rich story in 6 Minutes and 40 Seconds! So, we will be adding Learning Pecha Kucha sessions at our conference in November. And, at the end of 400 seconds, the presentation is over and the leader sits down :)

2. Time to Kill? Memories and More. MASIE Productions will be one of the co-producers of a new Broadway play, “A Time to Kill”, based on the book by John Grisham. Yesterday, we went to the first rehearsal and it is now gearing up for an opening in October. I would love to get some data from Learning TRENDS readers about their memories of either the “A Time to Kill” novel or movie. If you can take a few minutes, share your memories with me at http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1344643/Time
We will keep you informed as the design and presentation of “A Time to Kill” comes to Broadway in just 6 weeks.
3. Work and Social Media Rules? So, what are the rules in your organization about employees sharing information about the company in social media? Recently, a number of organizations have added sections to the Employee Handbook and/or New Hire Orientation, addressing rules and norms about social media mentions of the organization. Some organizations have organized guidelines to coach employees about what is appropriate, questionable or not allowable on Social Media. For example, a sales person posts that they are on a trip to a new city on Facebook. Might that be monitored by your competition to see if you are visiting key sales prospects? Or, if a person gets a tough performance review, would their venting perhaps impact the recruitment efforts of new talent if viewed by prospects? Watch for more social media guidelines and even “Big Data” feedback scoreboards to provide employees with an aggregated view of their postings.
Yours in learning,
