Presented by: Training Magazine
Duration: 1 Hour 1 Category C Free PDU
“Social learning” and “informal learning” are among the training industry’s hottest phrases these days. But there’s so much confusion over what they mean, and what they mean to those of us in the business.
A few truths:
Social learning isn’t new.
Social learning isn’t necessarily ‘managed’, ‘launched’, ‘controlled’, or ‘measured’.
People in the workplace are learning all the time – without us.
Those people likely don’t think of what they’re doing as “learning”.
In this session we’ll spend some time looking at real examples of social and informal learning as it happens in workplaces all the time, every day. Along the way we’ll generate some ideas for locating, supporting and facilitating social learning opportunities toward the greater goal of enhancing organizational performance.
Speaker: Jane Bozarth (LinkedIn profile), Ph.D., eLearning Director of the State of North Carolina

Though long overdue, women are increasingly moving into leadership roles. Consequently, women have more opportunities to shape the workplace in a meaningful way.
Making the most of those opportunities will take persistence, persuasiveness, and leadership. It will also take courage.

In this session, you will learn:
Why courage is essential to career and organizational success
Current data about the debilitating impacts of fear on performance
Examples of courageous women at work
The differences between two different leadership dispositions, Fillers (encouragement) and Spillers (discouragement)
Tips on how women can be more courageous at work, and how they can inspire more courageous behavior among those they lead

Courage Goes to Work focuses on building workforce courage. Why? Because when courage goes to work, workers they take on more challenging or complex projects. When courage goes to work people actively seek out tasks that stretched their skills and capabilities. When courage goes to work speak up more frequently, forcefully, and truthfully. When courage goes to work people say “yes†to company changes with more enthusiasm. When courage goes to work people are less risk-averse, less self-conscious, and less apathetic.
Courage Goes to Work categorizes courageous acts into three large “buckets.†These courage buckets are:
TRY Courage:TRY Courage is the courage of initiative and action. It’s what you’re talking about when you say you want people to “step up to the plateâ€. TRY Courage can be seen in “first attemptsâ€â€”for example, whenever you attempt a new, skill-stretching, or pioneering tasks. Volunteering to lead a tough or risky project is a demonstration of TRY Courage.
TRUST Courage:TRUST Courage is the courage that it takes to relinquish control and rely on others. When you talk of wanting employees to embrace company changes more enthusiastically, it is TRUST Courage that you want people to have. When you have TRUST Courage, you give people the benefit of the doubt, instead of questioning the motives and intentions of those around you.
TELL Courage:TELL Courage is the courage of “voice,†and involves speaking with candor and conviction, especially when the opinions expressed run counter to the group’s. When your TELL Courage is activated, you assert yourself more willingly and confidently. Your TELL Courage is at work when you tactfully but truthfully provide tough feedback to others, or when you raise your hand and ask for help, or when you fess up about mistakes you’ve made before others find out.
