About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Customizing Your Presentation

This is a great idea as it allows you to save time & effort by having one core presentation that you can then slightly alter for each different group. Ryan

The Capable Coach

Agreed that an effective manager understands indivdual behaviors & I feel the coaching aspect is what helps that manager understand each individual better. Ryan

Customizing Your Presentation

This is a great idea & one that I have done myself. It can also help you learn a few names & you can then incorporate them into the presentation as well. Ryan

Which Goal-Setting Process Would You Use?

This is a great strategy when you have a mix of employees like this. As you said, a great way to help ensure that each team member is more fully committed. Ryan

Reasonable Goals

Yes, to use unreasonable goals as a means of weeding out employees is truly unethical. Ryan

Reasonable Goals

Great point. No matter how attainable or even practical a goal may be, if it is not in alignment with the company's mission then it is unreasonable. Ryan

The Effective Presenter

Great points John. You made me think of an important point too: Don't ask for questions if you are not prepared or willing to answer. I've seen presenters end with "any questions" but they really weren't prepared to handle them & you could tell they were just praying no one would ask one. Ryan

Great, how do you account for the individual strengths of the team members when determining goals? Ryan
