Picture this. Two employees starting the same day join the same onboarding program. One goes through the basics, but along the way, they start actively seeking more training opportunities. The other struggles to keep up and quietly quits before making it to the final course. Both finish with the same certificate. However, one gained real skills, while the other finished onboarding feeling disappointed. That’s the problem with one-size-fits-all training. It treats every learner the same, ignoring any skills, pace, or goals. The result? Low engagement, wasted time, and even lower training impact. So, personalized learning comes to save the day.…

My favorite episode of the beautifully written and deeply humanistic Season 2 of the Netflix mystery-comedy-drama series “A Man on the Inside” is a “bottle episode,” i.e., an interlude limited to just a couple of primary sets, with the main plot on hold as we delve into a lovely and poignant ensemble character study. Ted Danson’s Charles Nieuwendyk, a widowed and retired professor of engineering turned private eye, is hosting a Thanksgiving gathering at his home. It’s his most treasured holiday tradition: “Small group. Close friends and loved ones…We talk, we drink, we eat. We have a calm, quiet evening.”…

A whole lot of stuff coming your way as we draw closer to the Holidays. We have about 40 releases for you and by the look of it, you probably can’t guess what year we are in as we have items from Def Leppard, Kiss, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Stryper, Eric Clapton, Jethro Tull and Prince to name a few. I have a lot on pre-order today with Def Leppard, Kiss, Stryper and The Beatles. I’m skipping Aerosmith as I haven’t brought myself to listen to it yet with Yungblud. If I do give it a spin and like it, I’ll…

The modern American right could stand to gain from the insight of Richard M. Weaver. Weaver, a twentieth-century conservative of the Southern tradition, perceived the dangers of radical ideologies as well as the extent to which American thinking offered a viable alternative. Amid the disagreements and controversies of our present moment, today’s various libertarians, conservatives, classical liberals, and others are in need of clear thinking about our own ideas as well as those of our opponents. As such, we might learn from Weaver’s powerful dissections of authoritarianism.  A key component of Weaver’s philosophy was a recognition of the natural distinctions…

Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub made it clear he has little time for President Donald Trump’s criticism of the NFL’s revamped kickoff rules, insisting the former president doesn’t understand the mechanics of the play. Toub, one of the league’s most respected special teams voices after more than 20 years coaching units in Chicago and Kansas City, offered an unusually fiery response when asked on Thursday about Trump’s recent comments. “He doesn’t even know what he’s looking at. He has no idea what’s going on with the kickoff rule,” Toub said, raising his voice. “So take that for…

A few players the Toronto Maple Leafs could look to move Adam Proteau of The Hockey News: Elliotte Friedman reported that the Toronto Maple Leafs want to make a hockey trade, and not give away futures (picks or top prospects). The core and some key pieces aren’t going anywhere, and that group likely includes forwards Auston Matthews, William Nylander, John Tavares, Matthew Knies, Nicholas Roy, Scott Laughton, and Steven Lorentz, defensemen Chris Tanev, Jake McCabe and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and goaltenders Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll. Defenseman Morgan Rielly has a no-movement clause, but would he consider waiving it? What about…
