Tipping Point vs. Tripping Point Little did I know that despite my awkwardness of appearance and the feeling that I just didn’t fit in, it would become a night of new vision, desire and deep commitment that would truly change my life.
President's Pen - ASTD State of the Industry Each year ASTD publishes a State of the Industry report and the 2007 report ( 2006 statistics) has just been released. Where does your organization stand in dollars and hours spent on training compared to the ASTD Benchmarking Form and from the ASTD BEST Award winning organizations?
The 2007 Member Survey Results This spring, your 2007 Dallas ASTD leadership team conducted a member survey. We thought our membership would be interested in a few highlights that are listed in this article. Look for a new improved survey and feedback process from your 2008 leadership team who will also use information from this survey for their planning retreat. Your feedback is very important so please take a few minutes of your valuable time to complete the survey when it arrives in your inbox next year.
