		&lt;p&gt;
			&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif&quot;&gt;ASTD Nebraska&amp;#39;s Book Club is in full Swing this year!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;
			&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif&quot;&gt;Please plan to join us for our 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; quarter Book Club, Thursday, August 26, 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the Borders on 72&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; and Dodge. We&amp;rsquo;ll be discussing the business cult classic, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool&amp;#39;s Guide to Surviving with Grace&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; by Gordon MacKenzie. Jamie Kelly, Talent Management Specialist, with OPPD will be leading the discussion. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;
			&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/122/Orbiting-the-Giant-Hairball.jpg&quot; width=&quot;324&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;
			&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif&quot;&gt;Creativity is crucial to business success. But too often, even the most innovative organization quickly becomes a &amp;quot;giant hairball&amp;quot;--a tangled, impenetrable mass of rules, traditions, and systems, all based on what worked in the past--that exercises an inexorable pull into mediocrity. The author worked at Hallmark Cards for thirty years, many of which he spent inspiring his colleagues to slip the bonds of Corporate Normalcy and rise to orbit--to a mode of dreaming, daring and doing above and beyond the rubber-stamp confines of the administrative mind-set. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;
			&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif&quot;&gt;In his deeply funny book, exuberantly illustrated in full color, he shares the story of his own professional evolution, together with lessons on awakening and fostering creative genius.This book provides an empowering and entertaining look at the intersection between human creativity and the bottom line. It has become a must-read for any manager looking for new ways to invigorate employees, and any professional who wants to achieve his or her best, most self-expressive, most creative and fulfilling work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;
			&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11px&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif&quot;&gt;Measuring and evaluating human performance improvement interventions continues to challenge many practitioners.&amp;nbsp; While it is a challenge, learning leaders are increasingly expected to articulate the business impact of training initiatives.&amp;nbsp; According to the latest ASTD State of the Industry report, U.S. organizations spent nearly $135 billion on employee learning and development in 2007.&amp;nbsp; Real value for these expenditures must be demonstrated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>ASTD Nebraska's Book Club is in Full Swing This Year</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;
	Please plan to join us for our third-quarter Book Club, Thursday, August 26, 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., at the Borders on 72nd and Dodge. We&amp;rsquo;ll be discussing the business cult classic, &lt;em&gt;Orbiting the Giant Hairball: A Corporate Fool&amp;#39;s Guide to Surviving with Grace &lt;/em&gt;by Gordon MacKenzie. Jamie Kelly, Talent Management Specialist with OPPD, will be leading the discussion.&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	Creativity is crucial to business success. But too often, even the most innovative organization quickly becomes a &amp;quot;giant hairball&amp;quot;--a tangled, impenetrable mass of rules, traditions, and systems, all based on what worked in the past--that exercises an inexorable pull into mediocrity. The author worked at Hallmark Cards for 30 years, many of which he spent inspiring his colleagues to slip the bonds of Corporate Normalcy and rise to orbit--to a mode of dreaming, daring, and doing above and beyond the rubber-stamp confines of the administrative mind-set. In his deeply funny book, exuberantly illustrated in full color, he shares the story of his own professional evolution, together with lessons on awakening and fostering creative genius. This book provides an empowering and entertaining look at the intersection between human creativity and the bottom line. It has become a must-read for any manager looking for new ways to invigorate employees and any professional who wants to achieve his or her best, most self-expressive, most creative and fulfilling work.&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	Please check the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.astdnebraska.org/en/cev/67&quot;&gt;website &lt;/a&gt;for more details including a discussion guide and register to attend. Borders offers a 20% corporate discount for ASTD Nebraska members.&lt;br&gt;

			<title>What is the best way to get the most from a small training budget?</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;
	ASTD Nebraska Director of Membership Pati Carr, who also participates in our mentoring program, has a solution:&lt;br&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;My company&amp;#39;s training department consists of myself and my boss with one part-time individual who works about 10 hours a week. As you can imagine, we have virtually no budget for training.&amp;nbsp; We have developed all of our own programs for internal employees and have done so one area at a time. We then have used the framework to develop the other areas. Much of our training consists of PowerPoint presentations and discussions, and we have created resources that can be used electronically (to save paper) when they get back to their desk. The intranet site we use is free-of-charge, the electronic resources use no paper, and we utilize a free of charge online tool for pre-tests and post-tests called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.classmarker.com&quot;&gt;classmarker.com&lt;/a&gt;. Even if you have a large budget, my advice is to realize that the best things in life can be free (or virtually free); you just need to seek them out and see how they can work for you. For my company, less truly is more, and we take advantage of it every chance we get.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
	To gather answers to your strategic questions and further develop your personal growth, join the ASTD Mentoring Program. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;

															Summer is a great time for relaxing, but things are still hopping with the ASTD Nebraska chapter. Although there is no networking event scheduled for July, there is still plenty going on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;If you are looking to improve yourself professionally, check out the National ASTD certificate program coming in July. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;If you are interested in books, the Book Club is meeting on July 1 and again in August. Be sure to check out those events on the calendar. And be sure to take a look at the articles and be the first to learn about our Regional Event coming in May 2011! There is a plethora of volunteer opportunities with this great event, as well as with the chapter on a regular basis.&lt;br&gt;
															&lt;br&gt;
															As always, this is your newsletter, so please let me know how to make it work for you. I would love to hear from all of you as to what workplace learning and performance projects you are involved in. Just drop me a quick note to share with everyone. Enjoy!&lt;br&gt;

Although there is no networking event scheduled for July, there is still plenty going on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;If you are looking to improve yourself professionally, check out the National ASTD certificate program coming in July. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;If you are interested in books, the Book Club is meeting on July 1 and again in August. Be sure to check out those events on the calendar. And be sure to take a look at the articles and be the first to learn about our Regional Event coming in May 2011! There is a plethora of volunteer opportunities with this great event, as well as with the chapter on a regular basis.&lt;br&gt;
															&lt;br&gt;
															As always, this is your newsletter, so please let me know how to make it work for you. I would love to hear from all of you as to what workplace learning and performance projects you are involved in. Just drop me a quick note to share with everyone. Enjoy!&lt;br&gt;

	&lt;em&gt;Valerie Noll, CPLP, has more than 15 years experience designing and delivering training, with a special focus on adult learning and military audiences. She started the Director of Certification position for ASTD Nebraska and now serves as a coach to the program.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	I had the great fortune to speak at the ASTD International Conference &amp;amp; Exposition (ICE) in May. The session I delivered was about leveraging the ASTD competency model to build learning organizations. As a speaker, I received free admission to the entire conference. During my time there, I attended several breakout sessions and networked with both old and new acquaintances. Here are a few highlights:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0,0,205)&quot;&gt;Keynote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	Dan Pink delivered the opening keynote. He recently published the bestselling book, &lt;em&gt;Drive&lt;/em&gt;. The main point of the book is that what we assume about motivating people is simply not true. The three primary motivators are autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Personally, I think we already know this intuitively; however, when money and profit become involved, we confuse earnings and reward for purpose. Click here for a good animated summary of the idea behind the book.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0,0,205)&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	CPLP Special Session&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	They held a special speaker forum for CPLPs in which three industry leaders spoke for 30 minutes each. The first of these was Dr. Ruth Clark, author of the recently published book Evidence-Based Training. The book describes the actual studies and reasons behind the things we already know (or should know) as trainers. Lou Russell discussed the plan phase of project management. Alexandra Levit discussed the millennial generation, including how the recession has had an impact on our younger generations&amp;rsquo; attitudes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0,0,205)&quot;&gt;Storytelling&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	One of my favorite sessions demonstrated using acting techniques to create emotional learning triggers.&amp;nbsp; We all have intuitive intelligence that we have massaged and perfected by watching movies our whole lives. This means that my behavior while telling the story will cause the audience to experience my story. And because emotion is the fast lane to the brain, the resulting emotion creates a more impactful learning result. This session made me aware of many stories I don&amp;rsquo;t tell and gave me many more ideas to improve the stories I already do tell.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0,0,205)&quot;&gt;Learning Bytes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	Here are a few more things I found interesting:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Incentives work when a task involves mechanical skills. Incentives fail when a task involves cognitive skills. Then incentives actually slow learning and dull thinking.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Neurons that fire together wire together. (That&amp;rsquo;s why practice is so important and simulation and role play work so well.)&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Your brain craves pattern. Of course, sometimes patterns mislead us. What patterns are your learners bringing into the classroom with them?&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Oh, by the way, stress inhibits neuron growth. Stressed out learners don&amp;rsquo;t learn!&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Engage the whole brain -&amp;nbsp; you actually learn 20% faster if you are standing or moving around than if you sitting.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Multitasking: The brain is actually a serial processor. Task switching results in 50% longer to accomplish a task and 50% more errors. But multitasking gives you a thrill. So expect your learners to multitask. Build it into your learning. You can use email breaks, encourage twitter use for discussion &amp;ndash; make multitasking part of the learning. And let them know ahead of time they will have time for these things. Then they will pay attention to you, not their devices.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Our stories hold value for others &amp;ndash; don&amp;rsquo;t minimize them!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0,0,205)&quot;&gt;Ideas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Create short (5 minute or less) learning videos.
		&lt;ul&gt;
			&lt;li&gt;
				Interview SMEs &amp;ndash;ask for tips
				&lt;ul&gt;
					&lt;li&gt;
						Example:&amp;nbsp; tell me one thing that you&amp;rsquo;ve learned that you wish you knew when you started work here.&lt;/li&gt;
					&lt;li&gt;
						Note: When you go to the experts, you also help them appreciate the media because they are important to this project.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;/ul&gt;
			&lt;/li&gt;
			&lt;li&gt;
				Doesn&amp;rsquo;t have to be a big production &amp;ndash; several cell phones have video, as well as laptop computers. Windows comes with Moviemaker to allow editing. The video doesn&amp;rsquo;t need to be polished, as a matter of fact, if it is too polished, viewers won&amp;rsquo;t trust it.&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Even if you don&amp;rsquo;t have access to social media through your organization, your learners have access to social media. Create small groups ensuring there is at least one person with a smart phone in each group. Now you can have them do scavenger hunts, micro-blog, create 1-minute videos, or whatever you can imagine!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0,0,205)&quot;&gt;Summary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	If you ever get the opportunity to attend ASTD ICE, I highly encourage you to go. I made many new friends and connected with experts from all over the profession.&amp;nbsp; The conversations we started at ICE are continuing today on Twitter, LinkedIn, and email. The conference may be over, but I am still learning new things, sharing great ideas, and enjoying every minute of it.&lt;br&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
