Jedi mind tricks for learning designers
Cathy Moore, Consultant
Your client thinks training will solve their problem, but they haven't even defined the problem. Your subject matter expert wants you to present their favourite content, but you suspect it will just waste time. What can you do?
You can magically control their minds! At least, once you understand why your stakeholders think the way they do, you can subtly steer them into thinking differently.
This session will reveal the damaging beliefs that restrict our work and show some ways to turn them around. By changing how we talk to our stakeholders and to ourselves, we can create targeted training that solves problems and improves lives.
• Stepping out of the order-taking L&D role
• Shifting to performance consulting
• Moving people from a view of training as information presentation
• Specific words and phrases to shift clients' attitudes
• Lots of interaction and discussion!

Very helpful. For any educators out there, Backward Design basically focuses on the K or A of KSAs (knowledge, skill, attitude/affect) typically just the K. Action Mapping is basically Backward Design applied to just the "S" or skill/behavior mixed with some coaching methodology. It's really fantastic methodology for when there is a skill/behavior/performance goal to reach. Cathy says her method is not meant for Education, but I can see a great many applications for it in terms of e-learning scenario based teaching for asynchronous courses, and real world activities (i.e., authentic assessments) in the classroom or course.
