SUMMARY:Productivity Tools That Work For You
DESCRIPTION:Stop Juggling Flaming Chainsaws\, Start Heathy Productivity Habits\n \n  \nDo you ever feel like you’re juggling flaming chainsaws while blindfolded on a unicycle? (Okay\, maybe not that dramatic\, but let’s be honest\, work life can be pretty intense.) Between designing workshops\, crafting engaging training materials\, and nurturing employee development\, finding time to breathe\, let alone be productive\, feels like a pipe dream. \nHere’s the truth: the latest productivity tool du jour\, with its flashy interface and promises of “ultimate efficiency\,” won’t magically solve your time woes. In fact\, getting caught up in the “shiny object syndrome” can be a productivity trap itself.  \nRemember Franklin Planners? I do\, and I was all in\, relying on mine to keep my tasks and commitments in line. I didn’t go anywhere without it. So\, when it came to incorporating digital tools\, I was hesitant to make the leap because there were so many options. Where does one start?  \nYet\, embracing these tech solutions eventually turbocharged my productivity levels. \nTherefore\, in this coffee chat\, let’s dive into what really matters when choosing productivity tools. Let’s shift the mindset away from the “more tools\, more productivity” myth and help identify the specific areas slowing you down in your unique workflow and what tools and processes have worked to make your work life healthier and more efficient.  \nLet’s focus on what works for you.  \nOur chat will focus on: \n\nProductivity mindset and workflow. What’s working\, what’s not.\nTools that make life easier. What are our favorite tools that streamline our activities?\nCautionary tales: “Well\, that didn’t work the way I thought…”\n\n  \nCan’t Make It In Person? No Worries\, We’ve Got Your Back! Register And Receive The Following:\n✅ Access to the Learning Rebels resource page with all the extra goodies \n✅ Copy of the video recording \n✅ Copy of the chatbox transcription \n✅ Copy of the full session transcript & summary \n✅ Additional resources such as books\, articles\, and handouts

SUMMARY:Building a Habit of Continuous Learning
DESCRIPTION:“The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” — Brian Herbert\n \nWhat if the biggest barrier to your growth isn’t a lack of time or resources—but the habit of putting learning last?\nLearning isn’t just about attending training sessions or collecting certifications—it’s about building a habit of curiosity and growth that fits into your daily rhythm. \nIt’s also not about making massive changes overnight—it’s about small\, consistent actions that build momentum over time. The key is to start where you are\, with what you have\, and keep going. \nIn our recent Learning Rebels Coffee Chat\, you all shared books\, podcasts\, tools\, and other learning resources that have helped you grow. This conversation underscored a crucial point: learning isn’t just about what we consume—it’s about what we share\, how we apply knowledge\, and how we create space in our routines for continued development. \nBut as learning professionals\, we are well versed in understanding the “why” behind continuous learning. The BIG question is “how.” \n\nHow do I make time?\nHow do I start?\nHow do I make it a habit?\nHow do I capture and curate notes?\n\nThe list of “How” is long and\, perhaps\, intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. \nWant to make learning a habit that sticks? Join us this Friday for a Learning Rebels Coffee Chat on building a habit of continuous learning. We’ll share strategies\, challenges\, and real-world tips to make learning an everyday practice. \n

SUMMARY:Shedding SMART Goals
DESCRIPTION:As we kick off the new year\, it’s common for many of us to think about setting new goals\, both in our personal and professional lives. \nHowever\, there’s a catch. Typically\, when we make New Year’s resolutions\, only about 10% of us manage to stick with them for more than a few months. This happens quite often\, and I think it’s because we approach goal-setting by focusing on goal-setting through a negative filter. Let’s shift our perspective and tackle this year’s goals with a fresh\, more effective\, more positive mindset. \n“I must get better at…” \n\nNot procrastinating.\nLosing weight.\nGetting organized.\nCommunicating better.\nCreating courses that don’t fail.\n\nWhat these statements all have in common is the negative filter we see them through. If they aren’t achieved\, it’s a failure. \nWouldn’t it be better to put a more positive spin on goals? Perhaps treating them as “positive and purposeful intentions“? \nWe can do this in several ways: \n\nWrite them as positive statements. Instead of\, “I must lose weight\,” why not “Spend 5 minutes a day stretching.” This is doable. We’re taking a large\, negatively filtered goal and chucking it down to more positive action.\nInstead of “get organized\,” try “keep the area around my keyboard tidy.” Again\, doable. We tend to beat ourselves up when we fail to do something. However\, the goal becomes more digestible when looking through a positive filter and starting small.\n\nIt’s the difference between setting ourselves up for failure and creating positive and purposeful intentions. \nConsider SMART goals\, a format that businesses commonly accept as best practice. But SMART goals don’t bring about results. In a large-scale study published in December of 2020\, participants who were taught how to use SMART goals reported less success with their New Year’s Resolutions than a comparison group. \nBut it’s really not that surprising – let’s take SMART goals and analyze just two criteria: “Achievable and Realistic.” Those two pieces are redundant\, which is why many people have changed “Realistic” to “Relatable or Relevant.” But it still doesn’t make sense – 1) Because if something is to be achievable\, it stands to reason that the goal should be realistic/relatable/relevant. And 2) It fails because “Achievable and Realistic” are not enablers of strong action and\, dare I say\, actually encourage the status quo. \nSo\, let’s gather and rethink how we are going to tackle the year. Together\, let’s build something actionable and positive that stands a chance of success. \nCan’t be there live?
