In this episode, Kevin Yates - widely known as the L&D Detective® - joins David to explore why measuring impact remains one of the most persistent challenges in Learning & Development, and how L&D can finally start getting it right. Together, they unpack why reporting on learning activity isn't enough, what it really means to uncover evidence of performance impact, and how L&D must evolve to contribute meaningfully within the wider performance ecosystem. Kevin outlines the flaws in traditional training needs analysis, introduces his Workplace Performance Investigation Framework, and explains how business metrics—not LMS data—must become the cornerstone of meaningful measurement. Kevin also shares how L&D teams can use tools like the Performance Impact Blueprint and Instructional Design for Performance to plan for outcomes from the outset, and why embracing the identity of ‘impact investigators' is critical for L&D's future. If you're serious about proving learning's contribution to business performance, this episode is unmissable. KEY TAKEAWAYS The "village" approach is central to performance. L&D should measure collective, not isolated, impact. LMS data is easy to get, but it does not truly measure the impact on business performance. The 6 questions for business performance and 6 for human performance, in the framework, uncover the true needs behind a training request. Because improving performance involves many teams, a project management approach helps organize everyone's roles, tasks, and contributions toward a shared business goal. BEST MOMENTS “It takes a village to impact workplace performance." “We must define impact. Before we can investigate it.” "Designing for performance is very different than designing for training." Kevin M. Yates Bio Kevin M. Yates is globally recognised as the L&D Detective®, known for investigating the impact of training and learning on workplace performance. With over 25 years of experience across major brands like McDonald's, Meta, and Grant Thornton, Kevin brings a practical, data-driven approach to measuring learning's contribution to business results. His work empowers L&D teams to go beyond activity metrics and uncover real evidence of performance impact. Kevin is also the founder of Meals in the Meantime, a nonprofit tackling food insecurity with the same focus on measurable outcomes.

Hey Ohana, This week we've got a really fun episode as we're joined by our friend Sue Passauer and our new friend Lisa DiNotto Glassner where we chat about capturing those Disney scents we all know and love. We chat a little about how Disney utilizes scents and while that was originally intended to be the main topic of the episode, our conversation rather quickly and organically switched lanes to chatting about the amazing ways Lisa has been able to capture those scents for us to all bring home with her ever so popular Core Memory Candle line of candles, waxes, oils, and more. Our chat dives into everything from the famous Smellatizers to how Lisa chooses which scents she captures and everything in between. We can't wait to have her back on to chat about her other endeavor - capturing Disney through photos of our favorite place and her Thousand Circle Images! Be sure to check out all of Core Memories Candles products before the pop up shop closes at the end of the month by visiting Lisa's site at https://thousandcircles.com/collections/core-memory-candles If you're thinking of planning a visit to Disney, be sure to reach out to the official TA of Married to A Disney Addict, Sue Passauer!

We present our reviews of Nimona the comic and the movie!Nimona is a science fantasy graphic novel by American cartoonist ND Stevenson. The story follows the title character, a shapeshifter who joins the disgraced knight Ballister Blackheart in his plans to destroy the over-controlling Institute. Blackheart's intent to operate under his code of ethics contrasts with Nimona's natural impulsivity.Stevenson began working on Nimona while attending the Maryland Institute College of Art, revisiting a character he had created in high school. Stevenson published Nimona as a webcomic from 2012 through 2014, initially through Tumblr, developing the story and the art style as time progressed. The finished work ultimately doubled as his senior thesis. After an agent reached out to Stevenson, HarperCollins released Nimona in print form in 2015. It has been translated into at least 16 other languages and adapted into an audiobook.Nimona's accolades include an Eisner Award, a Cybils Award, and a Cartoonist Studio Prize. Reviews and academic analyses have highlighted themes of queerness and fluidity of identity and how they oppose and subvert traditional controlling institutions and exclusionary systems.Nimona is a 2023 American animated science fantasy action-adventure film directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane from a screenplay by Robert L. Baird and Lloyd Taylor, based on the 2015 graphic novel of the same name by ND Stevenson. Set in a medieval-futuristic kingdom, the film features the voices of Chloë Grace Moretz as the eponymous shapeshifting character and Riz Ahmed as her boss and former knight Ballister, with Eugene Lee Yang and Frances Conroy voicing supporting roles.Originally a production of Blue Sky Studios, it was set to be directed by Patrick Osborne, with an initial release date of 2020. Following the Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Blue Sky, it was delayed multiple times before being canceled due to Blue Sky's closure in April 2021. However, Annapurna Pictures revived the project the following year, with Bruno and Quane announced as directors, DNEG Animation providing animation, and Netflix acquiring worldwide distribution. Christophe Beck was hired to compose the film's rock-inspired score.Nimona had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2023, was released in select cinemas on June 23, and made its streaming debut on June 30. The film received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Critics' Choice, Annie Awards and Academy Awards.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

For many L&D teams, compliance training is a necessary burden—dominated by tick-box exercises, clunky e-learning, and endless chasing. But it doesn't have to be this way - even in highly regulated industries! In this episode, Nick Taylor, Head of Learning at Ishida Europe, shares how his team has reimagined compliance as a practical, performance-oriented part of everyday work. Drawing on his experience transitioning from less regulated sectors into one where compliance is non-negotiable, Nick explores how to balance regulatory demands with business needs and employee experience. He explains how his team integrates compliance into role-based learning, navigates multiple stakeholder voices, and uses collaborative learning principles to target risk in the flow of work. Nick also shares how his team has tackled the operational pain points of compliance - through automation, shared accountability, and a clear mindset shift that has transformed how the L&D function works. For L&D professionals tired of compliance being a drag on time, creativity, and credibility, this episode offers a smarter, more human approach to getting it right. KEY TAKEAWAYS Get compliance, processes, systems, and learning foundations right before tackling advanced initiatives.  Clearly define compliance courses, their validity, who needs them and when in their work journey. Effective compliance training requires balancing the needs of legal, compliance, line managers, and end users. Scenario-based compliance training with actors and short, relevant talks are effective. Engage emotions. Automate and train your L&D team in basic data analysis. BEST MOMENTS “The consequences of us not doing this right ... could be as severe as somebody losing their life.”    “Training really is only such a small percentage of the impact of behaviour.”    “Good data in, good data out - is the powerhouse.”  Nick Taylor Bio Nick Taylor is an experienced Learning and Development leader with a strong track record of building high-impact L&D functions across diverse industries. He is currently Head of Learning at Ishida Europe, a global manufacturer operating in a tightly regulated environment, where he leads efforts to integrate compliance and capability development into day-to-day performance. Before joining Ishida, Nick held senior L&D roles at organisations including Howsy, Wagamama and Pizza Hut. This broad sector experience - from hospitality to manufacturing - has shaped his pragmatic, people-first approach to learning, where business relevance and learner experience go hand in hand.

On Prophecy Radio episode #140, Karen and Kristen discuss the latest Percy Jackson and the Olympians news, including the Artemis and Zoe Nightshade casting, plus the Percy Jackson 20th anniversary! We also breakdown The Red Pyramid chapters 33 and 34. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:09:50) What's been going on with us? Books and work and football, oh my! There's a lot of news to talk about this week, even though we did a whole episode on the news last week! We go through the Percy Jackson season 2 stills from EW. Did you go see Freakier Friday and see one of the Percy Jackson cast members?? Karen is maybe too candid about her type. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 has started filming! Is that…a monster? How excited are we about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 casting of Artemis and Zoe Nightshade? Are we waiting on anymore major casting for season 3? Can you believe it's been 20 years since The Lightning Thief has been released? Be sure to check out the Walt Disney Company's interview with Rick Riordan! Everyone wished Percy Jackson a happy birthday, including the Empire State Building. Don't forget Court of the Dead comes out on September 23! We finish up with favorite scenes and favorite lines. The Red Pyramid discussion (00:34:26) Let's kick this thing off with our The Red Pyramid chapter 33 discussion. Why are the gods so annoying!? Man, Desjardins really hates those kids. Think this will come back to bite him later? They land in a salsa factory, which they then light on fire, and we simply cannot begin to imagine that kind of pain. Yeah, Sekhmet seems like a god you don't want to mess with. Zia has a great plan that involves a lot of salsa but omg can you imagine if it had been GREEN? Do we trust Zia!? Doughboy to the rescue! We discuss our favorite scenes and favorite lines. Next up: Our Red Pyramid chapter 34 discussion. It's a good thing Carter has been practicing summoning things from the Duat. His coat is VERY sassy. And rude. Okay, something is seriously going on with Zia. What did Iskandar do to her?? When she talks about the fact that “he” is coming back, who do you think she meant? At least now we know where the fifth goddess went. Who the heck is Set controlling!? Zia does not need to be in the spotlight, and we love that about her. Amos is back–is this good or bad? Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 141, where we'll discuss The Red Pyramid chapters 35 and 36, as well as get you up to date on more Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan news.

FIVE YEARS AGO, Nani, Moe, and Gus released the first TRIAD Of The FORCE episode! It has been such an incredible ride: we've met so many great friends, traveled to magical places, and grown so much. As we continue our journey with Chase, we look forward to the next five years. Today, after many scheduling issues, we finally assemble our Triad to celebrate and reminisce on our path so far.After looking at the past, we also spent time looking towards the future! In a post-ANDOR world, the next live-action Star Wars show will be the second season of AHSOKA! Now that an official image of Eman Esfandi as Ezra has been released, the hype has begun! We discuss the one of the post-season one-finale theories: the introduction of the Expanded Universe antagonist, ABELOTH! At first we were skeptical, but after thinking about mythic, and religious themes that could influence the character, we speculate on the connections that the biblical figure Lilith can have on Abeloth. Join us as we celebrate our FIVE YEAR milestone as we speculate about Ahsoka, and look forward to the future!• • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

With 12+ years of experience in marketing and social media, Ilana has led creative content and brand strategy for some of the world's most popular brands, including Disney and Loungefly.

Back in 2019, PROJECT LUMINOUS was announced teased at Star Wars Celebration Chicago. For a year, people speculated about what this released would be. In 2020, it was to revealed to be an ongoing multimedia project called Star Wars: The HIGH REPUBLIC. Now, after three phases, multiple adult, YA and junior novels, countless comic books, some short stories, a couple of manga, the Young Jedi Adventures animated series, an appearance in the video game Jedi: Survivor, this ambitious publishing initiative has come to an end with Charles Soule's Trials Of The Jedi. After all this, was The High Republic a satisfying journey?To help answer this question, Laura Kelly from Force Toast, and Alex Damon from Star Wars Explained have joined us! We take a look back at this luminous journey from Phase 1 to Phase 3 (and all the Waves in between), and discuss what worked, what didn't work, and the potential stories for Phase More!• • •TRIAD Of The FORCE is a STAR WARS+ podcast hosted by Gus, Nani, & Chase—Puerto Rican and queer creators sharing deep dives, and heartfelt conversations from a galaxy far, far away.

We've asked what's the plan, Alderaan but this week we're going even deeper and asking WHAT'S UP WITH YOU, R2-D2? Our favorite little astromech droid had a secret mission from Princess Leia but just what else was going on? On close examination of other Star Wars stories, this mission may have been much more personal for the droid! And what if the Jawas never captured him? And what's he saying in Obi-Wan's hut? Think about these questions with us, take a sip of Star Wars wine, listen today and celebrate the love! JOIN THE BLAST POINTS ARMY and SUPPORT BLAST POINTS ON PATREON!

Disneyland Hotel was the first hotel or resort to feature the Disney name. Opened by Jack Wrather in partnership with Walt Disney, the Disneyland Hotel was not officially owned by The Walt Disney Company until Michael Eisner's Disney tenure, but it has been delighting Disneyland guests with Disney-themed spaces since October 1955. Today, the Disneyland Hotel includes four towers (Adventure Tower, Discovery Tower, Fantasy Tower, and Frontier Tower), six dining spaces (Goofy's Kitchen, Tangaroa Terrace, Trader Sam's and more), a monorail-themed E-Ticket pool, Disney shopping, and walking-distance proximity to Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney.   In this episode, we discuss everything you need to know about staying at the Disneyland Hotel, reveal Imagineering details that make this property noteworthy, share reasons why you might want to stay here, and offer suggestions about how to make the most of your stay.   To plan a trip, be sure to work with KMV Travel.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Tag me and join the conversation below.

This week we're finally getting serious and doing some deep reflection discussing 2 of our favorite things in the galaxy, the bug head bounty hunter buddies, ZUCKUSS and 4-LOM. It'a all about the legend of 4-LOM and Zuckuss, the behind the scenes story, the myths and mystery surrounding them, what they teach us about ourselves and why we were too scared to eat an eclair from Mrs. 4-LOM in Japan. Plus - Star Wars 77 returning to theaters in 1 year and 8 months?! We're making plans! So take a photo of 4-LOM's crotch, listen today and celebrate the love!
