- Who are you?
- It's all at jaycross.com, but briefly, my mission is helping workers adapt to changing times and lead productive, fulfilling lives. We once called this training but I now consider most training a waste of time, having discovered how much people learn from one another, from experimentation, and from living a rich life. I promote this concept of informal learning continuously. I've written a book, hundreds of blog posts, and given keynote presentations to anyone who will listen. If you want to know more, just ask. I believe in the karma of sharing with the net.

Though I make my living in the Training field, I do believe that you are right when you say "most training (is) a waste of time." If the 70-20-10 maxim is true, most of our learning takes place in-the-doing of our tasks and in-the-living of our lives, at work and elsewhere.
I look forward to much conversation!
Welcome,
Terry
I am very pleased you decided to join us at this employee engagement network, I especially like your "about me." It has a mission, a touch of rant, a lot of learning, and the karma of asking...what more could anyone want.
I visited your site and I will need to return to it as I just scanned it and it looks interesting and informative.
