I am proud to be an Eagle Scout. I recently returned to Scouting, and serve as an adult volunteer. This means that I’m able to marry the passion I have for teaching with the core values of the program.I find that Scouting is vibrant & diverse. I love celebrating & exploring our commonalities as well as our differences. Scouting also uses an EDGE model to teach:EDGE--Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, and Enable. For example, when we teach the Scouts about Fire Building and Fire Safety. We start by 1. Explaining the Why?—the importance of being able to build a safe fire (warmth, light, cooking, signaling, etc)2. We then Demonstrate the How?—(step-by-step (fuel, heat, oxygen, etc.). 3. Next comes Guided Practice, after checking for understanding we let them practice the skills in a safe environment, and help them meet with success.4. We then Enable them to build a fire on their own. Here is where we can test their mastering of skills and knowledge.This simple approach also works with adult learners for both technical and soft skills. The only difference is that with adults, the Fist Step is crucial. Adults must know: Why it is important for them to master a new skill or knowledge.In my experience, every course objective has to be articulated and revisited for the student to invest their time/concentration into the learning. Adults have to know, “What’s in it for me? By tuning into WII-FM you are empowering the learner to be intrinsically motivated to learn, and it is this agency that will allow associates to close skill gaps, and truly improve themselves and the organization.Please reach out to me if you would like to know more about what I see in Scouting that transfers over to successful Talent Management.Competencies• Microsoft Office User Specialist• DDI—Leadership Development Certified Instructor• UX Design• Adult Learning Principles• Sales Force Effectiveness• Onboarding• Mentoring Programs• Succession Planning• Lean Six Sigma Green Belt• Scrum Master CertificationAccomplishmentsCreated the Training on Demand site, which provided podcasts and vodcasts for sales associates—Initiative recognized with GE’s 2009 Growth Hero Award for ImaginationFinalist in the 2012 My Money App Up Design Challenge with Know it All!
