Ramblings of a Tired Instructor. My thoughts on educating individuals to perform in today's working environment. Monday, October 10, 2011. Buzzwords, Bad Ideas and Self-Promotion. Quite a few of my friends and acquaintances recently went to an "educators" conference. When they, almost universally, mentioned they probably wouldn't be returning it didn't surprise me all that much. Given the economy, and the fact that most of us work for a living and have to budget our travel and free time. Someone who uses...

Ramblings of a Tired Instructor. My thoughts on educating individuals to perform in today's working environment. Monday, July 6, 2015. The Only Thing Missing from Dillon's Daytona Wreck. After a very long time, I've decided to post again; my principal motivation is that I haven't seen this discussion anywhere else and am compelled to bring it forward. My motivation is purely to spur discussion, out of respect for those many track services personnel that perform so well on behalf of NASCAR each week.

Here's a short clip showing a late-race incident involving Eric McClure (14). The average "acceptable" response time to a 911 call - even a horrific motor vehicle collision - is under 8 minutes from the time of the call to units arriving on scene. Medical personnel consider the first hour after a traumatic injury the "golden hour"....

Ramblings of a Tired Instructor. My thoughts on educating individuals to perform in today's working environment. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. The Trainer is Naked! Everyone knows Hans Christian Anderson’s tale The Emperor’s New Clothes. In the past two months I’ve taken a lot of classes, both online and instructor led. And based on my experience, things are not what they should be in this parade. Compliance / Risk Management Training. Did you customize the curriculum for your company? Yep, I’m go...
