Member You - The Monster Garage of eLearning
You may be wondering if a new career is what you need to get yourself more prepared for your future. Your 20’s were rough enough. You had to go to college or just start a new job. It may have been a lot of bouncing around for you to get the type of job that you really wanted. Perhaps you had multiple careers at the same time and maybe you couldn’t figure out which one was for you. Now that you are in your 30’s you are probably looking for a career that’s going to make you happy and something that will be more r
So let's relate this to your training team... Have you taken time to create a simple set of rules for your team? Maybe you should take a lesson from the Monster Garage pit crew and make this a priority!
For the record,
How could it when so many business, non-profit, government agency and association managers apparently believe public relations is all about creating some publicity by moving a message from one point to another using tactics like broadcast plugs, press releases and brochures?When you think about it, that belief doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when the managers who hold that view have such an obvious need for public relations that leads directly to achieving their managerial objectives.
Each week Jesse and his handpicked team create a customized vehicle to dazzle and amaze you. So what does this have to do with eLearning? Read on...
Big boys like big toys
Did you see the episode when the Cadillac Escalade becomes a tailgate party? or...
The DeLorean is transformed into a hovercraft?
WOW they were great... and it got me thinking...Jesse's approach to monster car design is directly related to leading successful training programs. Here's why...
Each episode starts with a sketch of the "dream machine" and Jesse's verbal description of what he expects the machine to do. Just like Jesse's articulated vision, the training project leader has to be able to articulate the program vision and expectations to his boss and the team. If you can't describe the training purpose, it's time to re-think the project!
The Monster Garage rules are simple:
1) When completed, the monster machine must appear to be stock.
2) The team can spend no more than $3,000 cash for parts.
3) Jesse and his crew have only seven days and nights to design, build and race the machine.

Perhaps the most popular way to present a gift is to present flowers because flowers appeal to all our senses and brighten up our lives and our hearts. Perhaps you can find difficult to express your exact feelings and sentiments in words but you can express your exact sentiments by presenting flowers. Flowers bring good cheer and convey the right message in their own language – truest language of love. That’s why the popularity of flowers is.But there is a question which arise in our mind is when to send flow

For the record,
Some presentations fail to impress because key elements are missing. Many more fail because they contain too much information. Information overload is ever present in our modern society. The presentation that impresses with a powerful message is the one that is sharp and focused on its aim. So, how to make sure that your presentation doesn’t fall into the trap of giving your audience more information just because you can.Question: What is it precisely that you want your audience to understand - not

For the record,
As you begin a new year in your sales career, why not do a little self-evaluation on your strengths and weaknesses. The following list represents what I have discovered to be the common traits of successful salespeople.1. They manage their attitudes from inside-out vs. outside-in. 2. They are on fire with passion and desire. 3. They are a resource for their clients. They go the extra mile. 4. They are excellent communicators. 5. They are focused and concentrate on the task at hand. 6.

When the time for employee performance evaluation comes around, it spells of a lot of work and stress. Many evaluations have to be prepared and more stressful is the part when your team member argues on what you have documented.There is an effective and easy way to do this if you can plan your activities towards this exercise. It will normally stretch over a period of a year or the duration of a project.1. Do Performance Planning At The BeginningAt the beginning of the year or the project period

For the record, Jesse doesn't take NO for an answer, and whining is NOT an option. Hmmm... yet another good project management tip!
Each Monster Garage project starts with a day of planning Even though the team is running on a very short time schedule, the first full day is set aside for PLANNING. Then the construction begins.
How often have you been tasked with developing a huge training project and no one really bothered to schedule time to PLAN? Using the Monster Garage analogy, if you are planning a 5 week development process, a full week should be devoted to planning. This is a good rule of thumb with about 20% of the project time should be spent in planning.
Why? Because you can clearly articulate expectations, conduct essential research, collect information from a variety of stakeholders and produce a solid strategy for achieving the stated objectives. Keep in mind if you fail to plan, you plan to fail...
Just like the Monster Garage creations, online learning projects are big beasts and require a team effort. Jesse assembles his "dream team" based upon individual areas of expertise. He has welders, mechanics, fabricators and custom air-
