The month kicks off with an appearance on episode 34 of the Learning Uncut Podcast. I had an awesome chance to share my ideas for getting the most out of a professional conference with hosts Karen Moloney and Michelle Ockers and fellow guest Emma Weber.

November

I’ll be taking a 3.5 hour drive south to Miami for one of my favorite events of the year, ATD Core 4. On November 5 and 6, I’ll be delivering sessions on building smarter learning ecosystems and fostering the habit of everyday learning.

I continue to host a bi-weekly online tour of the Axonify Learning Platform. Get all of your Axonify questions answered during the live demonstrations on Tuesday, November 5 and 19, both at 11am EST.

November 19 brings the next edition of In Real Life in Learning Solutions Magazine. This month, I’ll be exploring the practical side of skill development in today’s workplace.
