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.

At the March 11, 2008 ASTD-NY chapter meeting from 6:00-8:00 PM ET, I was on a panel to discuss: Using Today's Media to Maximize Effectiveness in Workplace Training
This event was co-sponsored by Media Communications Association International You can hear the entire audio podcast at the MCA-I website, along with audio clips from the other speakers.
Here is a 45-second clip of me from the panel.
A question from the floor was "what was 'new' about audio and video?" As you will see and hear, what was "new" for me is the expectation that training is shorter, it happens on my own time, and there is a technology component.
Talk to you soon, Tim.
Here is my video commentary (04:14) on a recent article from the Financial Times, "Silencing the dissenters can end your career." Download a PDF of the article.
What's the point of a Courageous Conversation? To learn to listen to people who are different than ourselves. In the words of the article's author, Michael Skapinker, "dissent is good for you." To find our way through the painful process of setting aside our own preconceived notions to find an answer to a problem that might actually be better than our own.
And review the Diversity Conversation post: "Do me a favor...stop denying the Holocaust" to hear the struggle for two colleagues to listen to each other - despite diametrically-opposed view points.
Talk to you soon, Tim.
"Leaders need to show themselves, declare a future, and stand for their people."
I wrap-up my conversation with Ted Santos, CEO of Turnaround Investment Partners and his article, "Going Beyond Diversity Training." To finish, Ted and I talk about the language and conversations with have with ourselves - our intra-personal dialogues - and how those help and hinder our success.
Ted's answer is to help leaders to change their language to "declare a future." A future that we can all rally behind. A future that can transcend the issues of race, gender, culture, orientation. A future that is bigger than any one individual.
Check out a couple other articles from Ted Santos: The Dilemma of Creating Problems and Just Change Your Mind.
