Tolu Noah shares about her new book, Designing and Facilitating Workshops with Intentionality, on episode 573 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Whenever I'm planning a learning experience, I start by identifying a clear goal for the experience. -Tolu Noah I don't think there's necessarily one right way to approach planning. -Tolu Noah A really important aspect of facilitation is that yes, you have a plan, but you also need to be flexible with that plan and be willing to take a rest stop or a detour if needed. -Tolu Noah Timing is probably one of the most important aspects of facilitation. -Tolu Noah Resources Designing and Facilitating Workshops with Intentionality: A Guide to Crafting Engaging Professional Learning Experiences in Higher Education, by Tolulope Noah Yoruba The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters, by Priya Parker Richard E.

Embracing the Power of Learning: Insights from Gina AndersonIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Gina Anderson, CEO and co-founder of Luma Brighter Learning, to discuss how learning can drive personal transformation, support resilience, and inspire innovation in an AI-powered world. Gina—also an accomplished author and learning scientist—shares her insights on why hard tasks can unlock personal breakthroughs, how to maintain creativity in an automated world, and the future of authentic learning experiences.Why Embracing Discomfort Fuels GrowthGina begins by reflecting on her own relationship with discomfort, particularly through her routine of running—not because she loves it, but because it challenges her. She pairs this tough activity with joyful elements like scavenger hunts for colorful shells, turning a mental hurdle into an opportunity for mindfulness and reward. This playful mindset parallels how we should approach personal development: by pairing tough goals with incentives that make the journey sustainable.This theme connects to her core belief that learning, like running, requires repetition and resilience. Gina underscores that discomfort is not a sign of failure—it's evidence that growth is happening. When learners push past their comfort zones, they open the door to confidence, creativity, and capability. She offers practical tips like breaking big goals into small milestones and celebrating small wins to build momentum.For those struggling with change or burnout, Gina recommends re-evaluating how you engage with challenges. Are you avoiding them—or are you learning from them? Her advice is clear: lean into discomfort, but bring a little joy with you.About Gina AndersonDr. Gina Anderson is the co-founder and CEO of Luma Brighter Learning, a learning design and technology company specializing in training solutions for transportation and logistics companies. She is the author of Thrive: How Learning Can Ignite a New Way Forward and co-author of Perspectives on Invisible Illnesses. A former educator, administrator, and e-learning innovator, Gina is passionate about the intersection of emotional wellness and applied learning science. Her work has helped thousands of learners across industries adopt lasting behavior change through authentic, engaging educational experiences.About Luma Brighter LearningLuma Brighter Learning is a trailblazer in custom learning solutions for frontline industries.

Are we going in the right direction as communicators? In an era of dramatic policy shifts, cultural upheaval, and a fractured media landscape, how do we trudge onward through the muck without losing our way? Weighty questions indeed. In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Elie Jacobs, founding partner of Purposeful Advisors, to tackle the thorny issues facing today's communications professionals. With over two decades of experience in public policy and advocacy, Elie brings a wealth of insights to the table. From his early days in President Clinton's post-presidential office to his current role advising startups and mid-size companies, Elie has witnessed firsthand the evolution of the communications profession. This wide-ranging conversation covers critical topics like the impact of AI on truth and objectivity, the challenges of maintaining purpose in a "perma-crisis" environment, and the delicate balance between business imperatives and societal responsibilities. Elie and Dan discuss the pitfalls of chasing trends versus staying true to core business objectives, and debate the proper role of communicators in shaping corporate policies on contentious issues. Throughout the episode, Elie emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, curiosity, and maintaining perspective in an increasingly polarized world. He argues for a return to fundamentals - focusing on clear business purposes rather than getting caught up in the latest social media firestorms. The discussion also touches on generational divides in the workplace and how early career experiences shape communicators' approaches to risk and decision-making. Whether you're a seasoned PR pro or just starting out in the field, this episode offers valuable food for thought on the current state and future direction of strategic communications. Elie's candid insights and Dan's probing questions combine to create a thought-provoking exploration of our profession's most pressing challenges. Don't miss this opportunity to gain fresh perspective on navigating the complex waters of modern corporate communications. Listen in and hear about...  Navigating the perma-crisis era as a communications professional How early career experiences shape strategic advisory skills Balancing business imperatives with societal responsibilities Critical thinking's vital role in the age of AI-driven information Adapting communication strategies to rapid political shifts Purposeful advising: focusing on a company's core mission Nuanced approaches to diversity and inclusion in corporate settings Notable Quotes On Career Beginnings: "The way I got into this was, you know, just sheer dumb luck. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I finished school. And then 911 happened and I picked up with cliche duffel bag of clothes and a duffel bag of GMAT books and LSAT books and GRE books and went off to Israel to try to figure out what to do." - Elie Jacobs [2:30 - 3:57] On the Path to Communications: "I don't know that. You know, people talk about having a calling, right? Some people have calling calling to the pulpit, regardless of what religion it is. Other people have callings to be doctors, other people have callings to be teachers. I'm not sure I've met anybody who has a calling to be a lawyer. I don't think I've ever met somebody who has a calling to be a public relations or communications specialist." - Elie Jacobs [6:48 - 7:15] On Representing Important Figures: "The only thing that was really said to us was you represent him, which also means you're representing his wife, who was then the senator. So that kind of weighs on you a little bit." - Elie Jacobs [12:36 - 12:45] On Dealing with High-Pressure Situations: "Once Bill Clinton completely loses his temper at you, your perspective on things changes a great deal. He lost it at me because I happened to be. I. I was just in the way." - Elie Jacobs [13:40 - 13:50] On the Importance of Critical Thinking: "Critical thinking is something that we actually have to call out now as something that, okay, we, we really need. Critical thinkers used to be almost a given that, you know, you, one of the reasons why either you are hired for an important job or, or that, you know, when you come out of college or wherever you've been, that, you know, critical thinking is part of the resume." - Dan Nestle [18:56 - 19:19] On the Challenges of Objective Truth in Modern Times: "The concept of objective truth has been shattered over the last 10 years. And it's not just, you know, misinformation and creative hyperbole and truth and, you know, truthful lies or whatever the term was that they came up with in the first Trump administration." - Elie Jacobs [27:04 - 27:18] On the Evolution of Media and Truth: "For the better part of three centuries or more. There were editors who present who basically worked on something that was book length every single day and that was the news." - Elie Jacobs [43:02 - 43:12] On the Role of Purpose in Business: "When we talk about purposeful, we're talking about, we're going to help you figure out what your purpose is. Going back to Simon Sinek's golden circle of why, how and what." - Elie Jacobs [51:43 - 51:52] On the Importance of Business Fundamentals: "There has to be a business imperative. You can only be good for society if you're good at business." - Elie Jacobs [1:05:05 - 1:05:11] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Elie Jacobs Purposeful Advisors | Website Elie Jacobs | LinkedIn Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

Today's guest is Jess Almlie, a Learning and Development Specialist who is living her best life as the Founder of her own company, Almlie Consulting. Jess holds a B.A. in Organizational Communication and an M.S. in Educational Leadership, where her thesis explored, “Can leadership be learned in a classroom?” She's also certified in Improving Human Performance through ATD, with 30 years of experience in the L&D industry, having done it all—from orientation coordinator to VP of Learning Experience. She's led teams, developed strategies, and measured impact. As a dedicated volunteer, Jess has served as the President of her local ATD chapter and as an ATD National Advisor, mentoring and coaching chapter leaders across the country. In this conversation, Jess and I talk about a lot of things, including how to and why to measure the results of squishy subjects like leadership, communication, and learning. Jess is on a mission to help L&D leaders and teams level up—whether through one-on-ones or what she calls "coachsulting," dynamic workshops, or teaming up to build strategic learning blueprints that actually drive results. Jess' book, published by ATD Press, will be available this fall. It's called "L&D Order Taker No More: Become a Strategic Business Partner," which Jess says is the handbook she wishes she would have had. It's Jess' story, along with lots of qualitative research. Find out more about Jess at her website, www.JessAlmlie.com or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessalmlie/
