Ghosh and Reio (2013) explored the benefits mentors receive from engaging in mentoring relationships. They integrated data from various studies to understand how mentoring impacts mentors. 🔎 Mentors generally report higher job satisfaction and organisational commitment than non-mentors. 🔎 Mentors who provide career-related mentoring tend to experience higher levels of perceived career success. 🔎 Mentoring is positively related to mentors' job performance, particularly when they engage in role-modeling behaviour. 🔎 Higher quality mentoring relationships indicate better job satisfaction and career success for mentors.

Being a great design facilitator involves understanding and accommodating diverse needs and learning styles. Here are practical tips that have helped me effectively facilitate learning for all classes of learners: 🎨 I create a Welcoming and Inclusive Environment, starting each class with Ted Talks 😃 🎨 Understanding Different Learning Styles: Familiarize myself with visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and analytical styles to tailor teaching approaches accordingly. 🎨 Providing Clear Instructions and Expectations to my students. 🎨 Encouraging Critical Thinking and Creativity with reward system . Implementing these tips has led to a dynamic and engaging learning environment that caters to all learners. How else can I enhance my training skills? Give me some tips in the comment section 😉 #interiordesign #facilitator

#LnDWisdom no. 4 There is a practical difference between "instructor" and "facilitator," and it has nothing to do with the definitions people use to declare their role as either. I've discused this as an #UnpopularPosition post before, but not with this epiphany. I've argued, and continue to see people argue, about whether they are an instructor or a facilitator. Overwhelmingly, I see people who call themselves a facilitator doing nothing different than what an instructor does. I find it fascinating when I call this out how defensive the "facilitator" becomes, like being an instructor is offensive, low class, or insulting. Yet, I see people with the title instructor do more facilitation and are unbothered about being called a facilitator. There are three issues, but mainly, one major difference between when someone is instructing or facilitating. 1. Every facilitation has to include instruction as some point - there is no pure form of facilitation. 2. Every instructor is a facilitator at some point - IF they are a good instructor. 3. In reality, the definitions for either are nothing more than a distinction without a difference. The ONLY difference between when one is a facilitator or an instructor is this: the quality of their training materials. If your training materials are a lesson plan of bullet points, a slide deck, and a participant guide of nothing but slide images with note lines, you are ONLY an instructor. If your training materials are an instructor guide with detailed content, notes, activity directions, expectations, and delivery tactics, coupled with a participant guide of all the same content except the instructor notes, so that a particpant can study on their own and work through the material with little input from you, now you are a facilitator, but you will still do instructor things at times. Notice: no mention of a slide deck. The very definition of facilitator implies your participants can self-manage and learn. If your materials do not provide this, it doesn't matter what title you carry, participants are dependent on you to transfer knowledge, which means you own the results and satisfy only the common definition of an instructor. #InstructionalDesign #InstructionalDesigners #LearningStrategy #PoliceTraining #Instructor #Facilitator #CorporateTraining

There is really only one difference between an instructor and a facilitator, and it has nothing to do with what they do in a classroom. #LearningAndDevelopment #InstructionalDesign #InstructionalDesigners #PoliceTraining #Training #Instructor #Facilitator

What I learned from coaching my kids in archery: I discovered that an elite archer shoots 300-500 arrows daily. ⤷ Training 5-6 days a week. ⤷ Enhanced by endurance and weight training. This showcases how discipline and repetition are essential for mastery. ⤷ The same principles apply in engineering as well. Reflect on the following: How many logic problems do you solve daily? ⤷ Increase this to refine your problem-solving skills. How many times did you speak in meeting last week? ⤷ Boost this frequency to enhance your communication skills. How often do you engage in code refactoring each week? ⤷ Increase your frequency to ensure cleaner, more efficient code. Lack challenges? Create your own.  Consistency turns average into excellence. P.S. How do you keep your skills sharp? Share your strategies!

⚽ 💡 Goalscoring & Decision-Making 🎯 "I knew most of the time what I was going to do.... you ask yourself less questions" Having pre-planned intentions collectively in build-up is generally looked upon with skepticism in the game. The pictures will change, you will need to adapt constantly, etc etc. But when in front of goal (where a lot of game models suddenly remove detail) are pre-planned actions actually more useful? Henry presents a valid point: present the obvious and I'll take it, but otherwise I'm going to use my preferred technique because I mastered it. And, if there is an element of truth to this, then what impact does that have on training? Does repetition suddenly become more important? Do attacking players know what their 'preferred technique' is in front of goal? Is that shared with coaches? Do you go back an extra step and inform delivery? Have you suddenly created attacking patterns? I think there are interesting questions to ask...

Ready or not, welcome to mentoring! Was there ever a time when you were asked to mentor a new team member, and you felt completely unprepared to take this on? I remember this well…it was not a great feeling. I got off to a bumpy start as a mentor, but over time I found what worked for me. I was happy to realize that the process I followed as an instructional designer also applied to mentoring. Just as I would get to know clients and understand their needs, I’d do the same with a new designer. One person might feel comfortable mapping out a curriculum from start to finish but dread visual development, while another might be the exact opposite. From there the priority was building up skills and confidence in the area where they struggled. When you consider the obstacles we face in our careers, mentoring can make all the difference. This is the first in a short series on mentoring, including perspectives from others. More to come. At GimmeCredit, one-on-one expert guidance is a cornerstone of our career development programs.

#throwbackthursdays What would happen if your team kept working on its current production tasks, but switched the top priority to learning while doing so? What if this flip would not only include learning facilitation excellence but also would include coaching, technical, and product excellence as well? What would the short term impact be? What effects would be seen in the mid to long term? Join us as we have a fantastic discussion with Joel Tosi and Dion Stewart on "Dojos and Coaching for Learning Beyond Facilitation." After Joel and Doin describe these immersive learning environments in production, they dive into how remote dojos have led to more ensemble programming. Then, for both sports and tech, they cover the many facets of coaching side-by-side and in-context. Lastly, they explore what a post-"Agile" world looks like for them.  https://lnkd.in/guHvfQ4T #MobProgramming
