In our last blog, I discussed passion and how it is key in workplace learning. To take professional learning driven by one’s passion to another level, we will look at some training options available Spring/Summer 2017 for your employees. The in-person learning opportunities are located throughout northern and central Illinois while the online learning options are available for access anywhere.
In-Person Learning Opportunities for Your Employees

- Ready for your employees to grow their leadership skills? Check out this opportunity: The Path to High Performance Leadership: Emotional Intelligence in Glen Ellyn, IL.

If you are interested in attending this workshop, you need to HURRY! The workshop is on April 19th. Contact Anna Weselak with Weselak and Associates to discuss bringing this training to your organization.
- As I discussed in a previous post on libraries, they are a great place to find free learning opportunities. Julie Ostrow, Humor, Laughter and Improve Coach with Go Find the Funny will be presenting a free workshop titled “Life is Improv for Public Speaking” at a Chicago-area library. Do you like to laugh? This workshop will include humor and laughter so get ready. You can also contact Julie about facilitating this program or one of her other improv workshops at your organization.
