Workplace Coaching is a Lot Like Bowling
on Monday, April 24, 2023
On either side of the 60’ long lanes are gutters. To help beginning bowlers avoid rolling a ball into a gutter—also known as rolling a “gutter ball”—bowling alleys install retractable guide rails which can be set up at the request of the bowler. When guide rails are used, the primary goal of knocking down pins is almost always achieved. The guide rails make this possible. The relationship between the coach and the employee is somewhat like that of the guide rail and the beginning bowler, with the coach being the guide rail and the employee being the bowler.

Benefits of Microlearning
on Monday, April 3, 2023
You’ve probably heard your colleagues talking about microlearning, but you may be wondering what all the buzz is about. Microlearning is an approach to learning that involves delivering content in small, bite-sized units that learners can consume quickly and easily. This style of learning better aligns with the shifts in how individuals currently consume information. In the workplace, lengthier training sessions are broken down into smaller bite-sized modules which has been shown to improve comprehension and retention. These small and narrowly focused modules are typically 3-10 minutes and are usually offered in an online and on-demand format. This allows learners to participate at their own time, pace and place, unless their employer says otherwise.
