Mission Impossible: Teaching Old Dawgs New Tricks

GDASTD January Meeting

"Mission Impossible:

Teaching Old Dawgs New Tricks"

Speaker:

You!

A Facilitated Forum by Eileen Banchoff

Albert Einstein emphasized that “intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.” If learning (and therefore performance) is actually one continuous journey how, when, and why should performance improvement practitioners segregate clients into age groups? Join in an hour-long discussion among experts [us] to decide whether it’s possible to account for generational differences when we attempt to improve work, worker, and/or workplace performance. Come prepared to actively participate and candidly express your age-related opinions, facts, and real-life-experiences to reach a group decision on whether it’s possible to teach old dawgs new tricks.

Learning Objectives:

• Gain new insights in how to analyze learners for any type of performance improvement intervention
• Uncover multiple factors that support skills/knowledge, capability, and attitude development
• Listen to and tell stories of old dawgs successfully performing new tricks
• Develop a healthier respect for performers of all ages
