Your Periodic Table of Learning Elements Engaging, effective training programs are a mixture of science and art, requiring the right balance of adult learning theory, available technology, intuitive tools, proven practices, creativity, and risk. How does a trainer find the right combination and proportion of these elements? How does a trainer know what’s possible? To answer these questions, Brian Washburn offers a simple yet elegant periodic table of learning elements modeled on the original periodic table of chemical properties. Washburn’s elements—which are organized into solids, liquids, gases, radioactive, and interactive categories similar to their chemical cousins—are metaphors for the tools and strategies of the field of learning design; when they’re combined, and under certain conditions, they have the potential to create amazing learning experiences for participants. They are that impactful. From critical gas-like elements like the air we breathe, present in every training room (think instructional design or visual design), to radioactive elements, powerful and dangerous yet commonly used (think PowerPoint), Washburn guides you through the pitfalls and choices you confront in creating engaging learning experiences. A well-designed training program can be world-changing, he argues, and if you believe in your craft as a learning professional, you can do this too. Whether you’re an experienced learning designer or new to the field, this book inspires with new ideas and ways to organize the design of your learning programs. With stories from Washburn’s professional experience, the book includes a hands-on glossary of definitions and descriptions for more than 50 of his elements.

Have you ever wondered why some people can achieve such amazing goals in their business or personal life ? I believe we can all achieve extraordinary goals in all areas of our lives? If you have a big dream, but think "I can't - it's too big, too ambitious, to extreme..." this book is for you. I used to have all those thoughts. Before I ran my first 10km run, no way did I think about a 300-mile foot race, the Yukon Arctic Ultra, in -55 degrees. When I was fixing typewriters for a living, I couldn't dream of managing a 450 strong European sales force as a senior Director. These were unthinkable goals. UNREALISTIC and UNACHIEVABLE, not even on my radar. 70 miles into the 300 mile Arctic foot race I started to build a picture of why I had managed to achieve so many "impossible" goals. Over the next 5 days, alone in the cold and dark, I developed the 7P Formula for achieving any Big Goal. If you have a Big Goal you always wanted to achieve, or a dream that you want to turn into a Big Goal, the 7P Formula will enable you to achieve it. Please join me on this journey of discovery.
