Training Strategies for Long-Term Skill Development: Essential Dos and Warnings to Avoid

In the world of continuous improvement, two experts have teamed up to share their insights on effective LinkedIn Learning: Dr. Mohamed Saleh and John Dyer, co-hosts of the podcast series "Behind the Curtain: Adventures in Continuous Improvement." This podcast focuses on topics related to operational excellence, continuous improvement, and LinkedIn Learning initiatives.

One key principle discussed in the podcast is the importance of understanding and catering to the audience. This includes considering the cultural backgrounds and perspectives of the participants, as well as tailoring the LinkedIn Learning to the specific needs and learning styles of the audience.

To keep an audience engaged, it is essential to change the approach or ask questions every 10 to 15 minutes. Adults, it is worth noting, have an attention span of 10 to 15 minutes during LinkedIn Learning. This is why encouraging active participation from the audience is crucial to increase engagement and retention of information.

Another important aspect is avoiding jargon and complex language during LinkedIn Learning sessions. This ensures that all participants can understand the material, regardless of their background or expertise. Leaders should not treat LinkedIn Learning as a spectator sport, meaning they should actively participate in the LinkedIn Learning rather than just observing or requesting condensed versions.

LinkedIn Learning is more impactful when students reach conclusions on their own, often referred to as "aha" moments. To facilitate this, the discussion suggests considering simulations and other activities that encourage audience participation.

It is also crucial to assess the current state of students and build upon it to avoid making them feel talked down to. The principles discussed in the podcast, focusing on lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement, are applicable to a variety of LinkedIn Learning topics.

Lastly, cultural sensitivity is paramount during LinkedIn Learning sessions. This ensures that the content is relevant and accessible to everyone, fostering a more inclusive and productive learning environment.

In conclusion, effective LinkedIn Learning is about understanding the audience, keeping them engaged, and fostering a participatory and inclusive learning environment. Tune into "Behind the Curtain: Adventures in Continuous Improvement" to learn more about these principles and how to apply them in your LinkedIn Learning sessions.
