Welcome to Week 1 of our brand new series: Hidden Gems — where we dig into the book of Proverbs to uncover wisdom that can guide, challenge, and change our lives. In this kickoff message, “The Life of a Learner,” Pastor Chris Cunningham invites us to take on a teachable posture and embrace the reality that wisdom doesn't come automatically — it has to be pursued intentionally. Whether it's in relationships, finances, or spiritual growth, the Bible shows us that real growth comes from humility, correction, and a hunger to learn. Proverbs 1 | Proverbs 4 | James 1 | Matthew 13:44 Highlights from the message: – Why wisdom is worth the cost (Proverbs 4:7) – The difference between being a babbling fool and a wise listener – What it really means to be teachable – How to grow through life, not just go through it “Wisdom is available — but it's not automatic.” “The only real mistake is the one we learn nothing from.” —Henry Ford If you're ready to become a lifelong learner and uncover the hidden gems God has placed in His Word for you, this message is for you.

In this episode of Evolving Your Workplace After Hours, host Carol Schultz is joined by Kevin Legg to explore the topic of self-learning in the workplace. Kevin starts things off by sharing insights from his consulting work, specifically referencing a recent survey where most employees identified as "self learners." However, Kevin believes their actions—such as rarely reading, seeking feedback, or actively pursuing learning opportunities—suggest otherwise. This gets the ball rolling on a rich conversation about the complexities of self-perception, self-awareness, and what truly constitutes being a self learner. Carol draws parallels between self-assessing learning styles and overestimating workplace communication skills and points out that many people tend to see themselves in a more generous light. Carol and Kevin discuss the critical role of experience in genuine learning, emphasizing that simply claiming to be a self learner isn't enough. They believe it's about actively engaging in reflective practices, seeking coaching or mentorship, and being open to feedback. The conversation highlights that the deepest learning often comes from real-life experience, thoughtful self-examination, and interaction with others. The conversation pivots to the role of AI in shaping self-learning habits at work. Kevin believes that AI could amplify the growth of those already inclined toward self-improvement while also making less self-directed learners more passive. Both Carol and Kevin close out the episode by encouraging listeners to reflect on their own learning behaviors, challenge their self-perceptions, and consider how they (and their teams) can foster an environment of ongoing, authentic growth and feedback. Takeaways Self-perception of being a self-learner can be misleading. Books provide knowledge but lack interactive learning. Experience is crucial for true learning and growth. AI tools can enhance self-learning for some individuals. The quality of learning experiences differs among individuals. Self-awareness is often lacking in individuals' assessments.

There may be two sides of the IEP table, but at the end of the day, we're all on the same team — the learner's.I had the pleasure of chatting with Ryan Hogan, also known as @TheWorldsOkayestSchoolPsych, the creator behind the popular, lighthearted school psych meme account on Instagram.We talked about the intersection of ABA, special education, and school-based work in the social media space. Ryan shared some great insights, especially the reminder that you control your own online space. Protect your peace: block people, delete comments. Thoughtful questions and concerns deserve a response; negativity for its own sake does not.As both a school psychologist and an autism parent, Ryan brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to the IEP table. He knows firsthand what it feels like to be both the professional and the parent — and how overwhelming it can be. Sometimes, parents need not just data and research, but connection, empathy, and that parent-to-parent understanding.It was a meaningful and insightful conversation — one that reminds us that compassion and collaboration go a long way (and so does a joke!).#autism #speechtherapy What's Inside:Navigating Negativity on Social MediaWhat it's like to be a parent AND a professionalA perspective from both sides of the IEP tableMentioned In This Episode:(@worldsokayestschoolpsych) on InstagramSpeech Membership - ABA Speech  ABA Speech: Home

"What if failure isn't a flaw, but a feature of our human learning system?"In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession explores how shame and performance-driven identities can distort our future and block authentic growth. Instead of striving for perfection, Rebecca invites us to see failure as a sacred curriculum, the very path to wisdom, resilience, and purpose.Drawing from both neuroscience and scripture, she reframes the way we relate to setbacks in business and life, showing how reflection, not regret, is the path to character and calling.In this episode, you'll learn:How shame traps the brain in survival mode,  and how stillness helps rewire it for growth.Why reframing failure fuels dopamine and neuroplasticity better than success alone.A spiritual and scientific approach to letting go of guilt and embracing your true identity.Things to listen for:(00:00) Intro(00:51) The power of letting go of shame(01:41) The trap of perfectionism in business(03:43) Embracing failure as a feature(04:28) Spiritual awakening and presence(08:40) The impact of shame on the brain(11:50) Biblical examples of redemption(17:47) Reframing failure in business(23:00) The role of dopamine in learningConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/Free webinars - New dates added continually: https://shop.standtallinyourstory.com/products/free-webinar-reconnect-recharge-moving-from-disconnected-to-deeply-fulfilledBusiness is Human Masterclass: https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/businessishumanmasterclass

Today's episode is an extra special pep talk for anyone homeschooling—or considering homeschooling—neurodivergent kids. If you've ever felt doubtful, heard wild myths, or just wanted some validation, this one is for you!   Episode Spotlight: Myth Busting Neurodivergent Homeschooling Have you heard these before? “Neurodivergent kids need experts, not parents.” “Homeschooled kids won't be socialized.” “They'll have too many gaps or fall behind.” “Homeschooling will make anxiety or emotional struggles worse.” “You have to do it alone.” We'll tackle these five myths through research, stories, and straight-from-the-heart encouragement. Here's what you need to know: You Are Your Child's Best Teacher No one knows your child like you do. Yes, experts are great support, but YOU are the one who can tailor learning to their specific needs every day. Socialization? More Like Social Flourishing Forget the outdated worries. Homeschoolers are out in the world—community, classes, clubs, and new friends, both in-person and online. Social learning happens in real, meaningful ways. No More Fear of Gaps Every graduate (homeschooled or not) leaves school with gaps. Homeschooling lets your kids shine where they excel and grow where they need help, all at their own pace. Individualized learning = thriving. A Gentler Path for Emotional Well-Being Home can be a healing, safe space where neurodivergent kids feel seen and supported. Emotional safety comes first—academic growth comes naturally from there. You Are Not Alone This journey comes with challenges. But you're not meant to do it solo. Communities exist (like The Learner's Lab!) where you'll find understanding, friendship, and real support.

Galway based Alison, the world's largest free online learning platform for workplace skills, has proudly announced a major milestone: the graduation of its one millionth learner in the United States of America. The announcement marks a significant moment in Alison's mission to provide accessible, CPD accredited, skills-based learning for all, and highlights its expanding footprint across the U.S.A. Founded in 2007, Alison (www.alison.com) has grown into a global education pioneer, offering over 5,500 free online courses across a range of industries - from IT and business to healthcare, education, and more. With over 45 million registered learners worldwide, the U.S. represents one of its largest and fastest-growing learner bases. "Reaching one million graduates in the United States is not just a numerical milestone, it's a powerful validation of our mission," said Ciaran Cannon, VP of Global Affairs with Alison. "Millions of Americans are seeking affordable, flexible, and practical education options. At Alison, we're meeting that need at minimal cost, without barriers, and with a deep commitment to lifelong learning. Last week alone, we had over 7,000 graduates across the US, people who availed of a powerful opportunity to gain a life changing skill. We're with them every step of the way to a rewarding career." One of those million graduates, Morgan Ballou from Oklahoma, tells her powerful story of Alison offering her life changing opportunities. "There are no words. Alison is amazing. It's the only, to my knowledge, online learning platform where you can truly learn leading edge workplace skills, for free. And it's not like they nickel and dime you. Having dropped out of high school, Alison was one of the online platforms that helped me leverage and earn my way into a top tier college. "I've done several certificate courses and two diploma courses, a Diploma in Legal Studies and another in Psychology. The variety, the diversity, the option to earn a diploma, the peer learning. It's free. It's convenient, you can do it at your own pace. Online learning with Alison has changed my life." Alison's free learning platform also enables training providers, policymakers, and employers to maximise limited budgets while equipping job seekers with essential skills. Its globally recognised certifications help learners stand out in competitive job markets without incurring tuition fees. In 2024 alone, Alison delivered 4.1 million hours of free learning in the U.S., valued at $422m. "As economic landscapes shift, and technology transforms work, the demand for continuous upskilling is exploding. Alison is not just part of that conversation, we're leading it, making high-quality education free and accessible to anyone, anywhere, at any time. When people register with Alison for the first time, they do so in the knowledge that we have the tools and learning pathways to take them wherever they need to go. We're currently translating all of our 5,500 courses into Spanish, a move that will allow us to support the 40 million Americans who speak that language on a daily basis", said Mike Feerick, Founder and CEO of Alison. With growing partnerships across states and sectors, Alison is poised to further its impact in the U.S., supporting individuals, employers, educators and communities with low-cost solutions for professional growth and lifelong learning.

What's really holding your learners back from absorbing the information they need? We've all been through training at some point that's either confusing or too broad, or perhaps the kind that puts you to sleep. The truth is that training and learning design are complicated. It's a balancing act between the learners themselves (how they learn, their interests and attention span), the designers (their desire to create engaging content), subject matter experts (who have the knowledge but aren't always the best teachers), and then the organization, which has its own goals to achieve.So where does learning design typically fall short? In this episode, we welcome Sara Sorenson, Product Enablement Manager at Muck Rack, and Tim Slade, Founder of The eLearning Designer's Academy, to explore the top mistakes they see in learning design, how we can get better at creating training, plus some things learners could do to help that information stick.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 - 02:45 Introduction to Sara and Tim 02:45 - 05:50 The biggest thing organizations are getting wrong about learning05:50 - 11:01 How should organizations use subject matter experts?11:01 - 14:29 Why sometimes organizations need processes, not training14:29 - 20:37 What are learners getting wrong20:37 - 25:20 Why learning at work is different to the learning experience in school or college 25:20 - 30:07 How can learning designers help learners feel okay about mistakes30:07 - 37:17 What else can we do to help learners achieve the ideal outcome37:17 - 38:13 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Sara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarasorensonid/Connect with Tim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sladetim/Visit The eLearning Designer's Academy: https://elearningacademy.io/Subscribe to The eLearning Designer's Academy by Tim Slade: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2CE3YBPX53oeKVsiTbhX2w?sub_confirmation=1
