by Jolene Rowan. Education experts have said for years the important role performance support plays in building competency. It tackles head-on two fundamental challenges of learning: the limits of human memory and learner motivation. Despite the vast evidence, most organizations have made little progress implementing performance support solutions. Often, companies are not sure what performance support is or where to begin.

A good project manager needs to know that they are communicating well with their team - that he/she is hearing them and being heard. It is said that “the greatest enemy of communication is the illusion of it.” For a project manager, effective dialogue with team members is one of the most important skills to possess. Each person has a unique life perspective and an equally unique way of communicating.

By Michael Allen , Chairman & CEO, Allen Interactions. eLearning can’t do everything. It can’t detect frustration by observing facial expressions and body language (yet). It doesn’t know if a learner is just throwing out any answer to see what feedback happens or if a learner is sincerely thinking the answer is correct. Today, elearning is pretty much blind to many of the cues a personal mentor or instructor would note and use to guide a learner.

Watching videos can bring out emotions in us. This can be because of what is said, what the characters are doing, what is being learned, and many other reasons. What I am going to talk about today, is what emotions can be pulled from framing. Mostly anger. Bad framing brings out anger, frustration, and discomfort. Cinematographers use this knowledge of video framing to make the audience feel things based solely on the framing.

Boring soft skills training doesn’t just put employees to sleep. It lowers employee perception of your organization – your internal brand. That’s why the most effective soft skills training typically doesn’t just fly off someone else’s shelf. Savvy organizations take time to customize soft skills training so that it not only addresses their desired learning objectives, but does it with highly targeted, interactive courses that look and feel professional, and make good use of employee time.
