Mike Sedam interviews Isaac Tolpin about the work he is doing on employee education through the concept of microlearning (www.conveyour.com)
Isaac has even provided a free gift to all Crucial Talks listeners. https://new.conveyour.com/c/srlq5xng5c/free-high-performance-culture-system
One of the important concepts of the Crucial Talks Podcast is that we learn from each other.
Isaac talks to us from his lens as a futurist who not only understands technology, but applies human behavior to technology.
Isaac's goal is to make training valuable by understanding how people consume it, how to use it to break down silos, and aligning it with the core values of the organization.
Learner trust is an important concept because when people do something, they need to trust that it is going to be worth their time. This is because time is a person's most precious commodity. If we ask too much, if the training gets to burdensome, or if the training is not in alignment with culture, then we lose learner trust.
We can do this by:
- Getting to the point.
- Recognizing that people completed the training.
- Show that it is part of something bigger than themselves.
- Make it mobile friendly.
Isaac also talks to us a little about another venture for him and his wife that focuses on the belief that if we fix parenting, we fix a lot of problems in the world.

In episode 53, Mike Sedam interviews Kevin Murphy about his book The Three Rooms. Available from Amazon: https://amzn.to/2QB6pVy.
For more about Kevin or his book you can visit: www.thethreerooms.com
The conversation about this book lets us look at the power of perception. We also get tools to use to help us be more mindful of where we are. Are we in the past, the present, or the future. These are the three rooms Kevin explains we can be in at any one time.
Kevin's premise is that our experience of life is not what we do or what we have, it’s what we think.
Whichever room your thoughts are in, determines your experience of life at that moment.
The key is to monitor your thoughts.
One question we can ask is "Where am I?"
This is a reminder to be aware of your thoughts.
We could be worried about the future or stuck in the past.
We constantly get triggered by things that disrupt our positive thoughts so we need triggers to bring us back.
In this episode of the Crucial Talks Podcast, Kevin gives us tools that helps to keep us in the present room.
