What would you like to accomplish in your role this year if money is no object, and there are no limitations?
Just dream a little. Would you hire additional training staff to help with the backlog of tasks? Would you update your presentation technologies to really grab your audience and help the trainer stay interested in the same ol' material by using new gadgets? Would you revamp some of the new-hire onboarding sessions so they aren't so dreaded, dry and intense?
Why not dream big? Think "What if…?" and then think "Why not?" Why couldn't it happen?

Ken Gimm became our first international certified partner for Research-based Creative Teaching Strategies. When I heard that Mel Silberman had died, I was deeply saddened. He was a friend, a colleague, and a golf buddy. He was not only a student of Active Learning, he was also an active participant in life; he realized how short it was. He, Ken Blanchard and I shared a Faith at Work session at ASTD. I was blessed. He had a long, patient, and courageous battle with cancer. I will miss him.
