Here is my commentary on how Courageous Conversations has helped others to engage in that dialogue. (03:55)
Talk to you soon, Tim.
Calvin has been working on a project for his boss for months. The information for the report comes from all the other business units. He has been in contact with at least one representative from each unit to collect and analyze the data.
Calvin's boss continually changes what he wants and how he wants it. Calvin has to go back to the units to ask for more and different information.
Celia, one of the units' representatives snaps, and takes Calvin to task on this latest request. He needs to take the heat without "selling out" his boss, the process, or his unit. (15:30)

Lessons Learned:
T&D Magazine just published my article on using podcasting in training. T&D is ASTD's publication on the latest trends in training and development.
Pick up a copy of the magazine or you can purchase a copy of the article on ASTD's website.
Then, let me know how I can either teach you and your colleagues how to create your own podcasts. Or I can create them for you.
Either way, check out my latest article.
Talk to you soon, Tim.
One of the new things I do is take my knowledge of podcasting and help others learn this new skill.
On May 21, I have been invited to work with the ASTD-NY Media SIG to do a seminar on building podcasts, the how-to's, and the what not to do's. The Media SIG was on outgrowth of the New Media Panel Discussion back on March 11, 2008.
Turns out that folks are very interested in learning about how to podcast. And interestingly enough, AdAge just had a story about podcasting today.
And finally, watch the May 2008 T&D magazine for my article on podcasting.
Talk to you soon, Tim.

I have been invited back to speak at the ASTDNY Metro Chapter's Consultant's Special Interest Group on Thursday, May 1.
The SIG member consultants meet together for common interest dialogue and networking. Last fall we began a conversation on how to sell and market our services. As an independent consultant for the last 15 years, I have been down this path before to answer the question - how do I distinguish myself in the marketplace?
On May 1, I will once again lead a conversation to help each member answer this question for him/herself.
So, if you are a learning and development consultant who is looking for some help, guidance and networking, join us on May 1 for another lively, interactive discussion.
See you then, Tim.
